So today my son (almost 4) asked me how babies get out of the belly when they are born.
He got me a bit off guard because the question came out of nowhere.
The first thing that I came up with was "they come out from down there"
His response:
"Where? The butt? The ear?"

I am curious, what would you answer?

I just received a massage from my MIL in Hungarian, which I did not fully understand. My 3yo just translated it for me. So, I guess I don't need deepl any longer? 😄

#BeardGrabber is watching Kiki's Delivery Service together with me. 💜
We are stretched out together on the sofa underneath a blanket.

#ParentsOfMastodon: What song do you never want to hear again and why is it the theme song from Mickey Mouse Club House?

#BeardGrabber apparently likes playing #pinball games; especially the #ProPinball classic #BigRaceUSA was a hit. :D

Today is definitely a day for rye. Started with an unexpected trip to the police station (hint: hobby computer restoration comes with all sorts of [unpleasant] surprises). Then interviewed our first #babysitter candidate. Now the #baby absolutely *refuses* to take his afternoon nap and would much rather whine.

Bring on the rye my friends, bring it on. Looks to be a challenging night ahead. #ParentingStruggles #parentlife #parentsofmastodon #parentsandparenting

Having kids and staying up till midnight are not compatible concepts.

Miss 16mo is becoming one of those feisty kids who will express her frustration by banging her head on the nearest available surface.

Any advice from #ParentsOfMastodon who’ve dealt with similar?

Every parent MUST become aware of this.

Why does this thing always look like it’s part of a hostage situation? Put some wire in them to position them!!! #elfontheshelf #parentsofmastodon #elf

my stepmom has been doing this daily thing where she tells my brother (7yo) that for 1 hour he needs to be alone and he's not allowed to be around anyone during that time (today she said "you can't be around me, or dad, or Aldara. you have to do something alone, okay?"). it feels really fucked up to me and i can only imagine this negatively affecting my brother 🤠 every day that i hear her tell him this i end up fighting with her in my head about how cruel that is for no reason, which is a conversation that could put my living situation at risk so i say nothing to her in person.

my brother is just a little guy, i enjoy his company!one time he came in during this "hour" to sit on my bed and vibe/do our own things in the same room, and my stepmom still got upset and made him leave to go to his own room by himself.

any advice would be appreciated 🥲 our parents are generally not nice to him in the normal ways that parents don't see children as people, but they've also done horrible things to him and it always seems to come down to them wanting control over my brother. they each never wanted kids until their friend had a baby & they caught baby fever, which is why i feel especially protective of him. (i tried to give as much context as i can without writing a whole book, but i can clarify things/answer questions if needed!)

So this day will run on three hours of sleep, caffeine and frustration. Wish me luck! 😅

Been trying to diversify my listening away from Spotify but I still generally use it every day while working. Despite this, my top song in #SpotifyWrapped is Auli'i Cravalho's "How Far I'll Go" from Moana.

This does indeed tell you most of what you need to know about my life in 2022.

@edporras,

My kid is 34 yo.

He listened to "We Sing Dinosaurs" on endless loop 30ish yr ago. https://bit.ly/3i9nfcR

"Deinonychus! Deinonychus! With it's terrible claw."

I can still sing nearly all the lyrics to all the songs. 30. Years. Later.

When, they said that parenting is a never ending job, this is what they meant.
