    I am praying for death.

    The struggle has only begun.





    Your kids only get exposed to what you choose the first 4 years or so. Choose wisely.
    Oh really? Let them go to a friends house and get introduced to Blippi when you’re not paying attention.
    Under four my kids aren't getting a lot of unsupervised screen time at other friends houses.

    1. Bc who knows what people know about as far as parental controls, YouTube, etc. You start watching baby shark and YouTube autoplay has you watching furries after 4-5 videos.
    2. We also are some of the first of our friends to have kids so we have a limited peer group as is. Father in law is the most likely culprit to give her garbage and I've seriously considered setting up parental controls while he's watching her. We've staved off such notables as Frozen, bubble guppies, & paw patrol.

    FWIW my family currently watches the mandalorian together. We play her lots of studio ghibli and "classic" kids films along with some other stuff like the original star wars trilogy. Currently in a toy story phase. Previously the new animated spider verse which was good in it's own right.

    I don't think the content makes a huge difference in her education but it sure as hell makes a difference in my wife and I's quality of life and ability to enjoy a movie with her. We can sit on the couch together and watch Toy story 3 but there's no way in hell I'd stand watching an episode of doc mcstuffins for even 5 minutes.

    How's she ever going to know the difference though unless we expose her? And even then, just don't make it available. They'll get the fuck over whining for the wiggles ten minutes into howls moving castle. One's intolerable while the other is at least coherent content.

    Ok, I think I'll go drown myself in the hot tub with a white Russian after writing those paragraphs out.

    My wife said to tell you @Doog_de_Jour that you’ll be hearing from her lawyer soon.

    I highly recommend Phineas and Ferb when the tyke is old enough. It's actually not that bad.

    Beavis and Butthead. May as well acquaint them with the real world.
    Archer, by 5 years, if you ever want her to appreciate the wonder and appeal of Cocaine.

    What?

    I was watching The Expendables in the middle of the night because who needs sleep and I let little FRANNY watch it with me. Her eyes aren't open but I am pretty sure she liked it anyway. Her steady diet of Predator begins tonight. None of you will want to date my daughter one day because she will kick your ass.

    Great pick with PREDATOR. One of my favs. Mine loved the movie when they were little, watched it over and over and over...

    Any parent that has a screen time prohibition is FS. We'd be divorced already if it wasn't for the miracle of TV babysitter.

    Screen time even my wife the pro uses. We try to keep it limited but it makes it that much more effective when she does get it.
    I have three. The one who just got accepted into a PhD program for maff watched Teletubbies and loved it. Teletubbies. If you ever watched 2 minutes of that shit you'd know what I mean. Spooky weird. This one:



    She managed to survive.

    Creepy Tim advice for the day: don't try too hard with your kids. It won't really make that much of a difference either way. They are resilient af and will survive and thrive despite your worst parental mistakes; and they're not going to MIT or playing for the DAWGS! if their DNA coding doesn't say so. Life's beautiful and life's a bitch. Boffe.

    I still have nightmares about those creepy fucks. My daughters played that show on loop. And my oldest is graduating this spring with a double major in physics and environmental science. Creep's right, it really doesn't matter all that much.

    Baseball dads are awful. I hear Hockey dads are even worse. Soccer parents of all genders are generally too stupid for their own good, and LaCrosse parents? I don't know many. By design. But the few I do know are completely fucking insufferable and can't admit they took up LaCrosse because it's the the only sport white enough for Jimmy to get playing time on the field in.

    Kids take up LaCrosse in the spring these days because they sucked at Baseball and weren't fast enough to run track. Most of the kids that play the sport in my area tend to be over privileged white kids who aren't very athletic.
