But screaming kids.... no movement. No reaction.
Just got a text from my beloved wife that doing homework with our oldest daughter, who started school some weeks ago, is working out great.
Meaning the kid locked herself in the bathroom and is screaming that she won't do homework ever again.

Lololol. My wife doesn't fake not hearing kids, she just elbows me to make me go deal with it. She's a light sleeper in general, but it's extremely annoying that I can't get into the bed without waking her up, ever. And then she gets on my case about staying up late.
Saw this and it actually made me tear up a bit.
This is the twitter account of the Eton teacher who got fired for teaching the boys about masculinity. This is an absolutely golden thread. The guy is clearly a legend.

Our 6yo daughter has gotten pretty disrespectful towards my wife. I'm a no BS type with clearly defined rules, and enforce them strictly. My wife on the other hand is rather lazy and lets a lot of misbehavior slide. Not working out great.
During last month, our kids started to play together really well. Before that, it was carnage and violence. Now it's so heartwarming to see all of them being in the room of the oldest one, playing school, being great to each other. Even the 2.5 yo twins now interact way better with each other.
My two daughters are the same age for two weeks.
And this morning the little one kicked the big one in the face while playing in bed, making one of her teeth bleed.
Never a dull moment with children.

Definitely. Violence between siblings sure is a thing. We are in a phase of chaos and destruction atm. It's.... Rough.
This was me last weekend.
I can't stand all these activities with other parents, organized by the school or kindergarten. There was this evening where all the parents from the school class from our oldest daughter met in a restaurant, to get to know each other and vote on projects\activities for the kids.
The few fathers that attended where generally cool. But holy shit, mothers. Mothers are the worst. 20 of them in one place was the horror.

So I am temporarily staying with my sister and brother in law who have a 10 month baby, and young James seems to be waking up at around 7am, having a couple of naps during the day and staying up until around 10pm at night. Is that normal? I thought kids would either get up and sleep early or get up and sleep late. Having the same sleep schedule of adults just seems wrong.

. After the first several months, babies sleep through the night without much issue. The whole "waking up at every random hour" thing doesn't last long.So I am temporarily staying with my sister and brother in law who have a 10 month baby, and young James seems to be waking up at around 7am, having a couple of naps during the day and staying up until around 10pm at night.

Every kid is different tbh. One of my kids started sleeping through the night for 12 and more hours after six month. Her sister woke up every 3 hours at night for one and a half years.
That should be a new safe sex campaign, that is insane. Much tiredness, do not want. At least you lived through it though.
Had an... interesting... evening. Isaac had his bath, all seemed well. I got him out of the bath and was holding him when the wife pointed out there was a turd floating in the bath. I then looked down in horror to see turds all over the towel on his changing mat, and on my jeans. Handed the baby to her so I could get my jeans off and begin cleanup, get the bath emptied, cleaned and refilled for a fresh bath, etc. While I'm getting my jeans off he then poos on the toilet seat. Absolute carnage. The cleanup was not fun. Lots of bleach. Kill me. Now.
We all get baptized with shit at one point or another.

One time I needed to do an emergency nappy change in the back of my car. I put a waterproof pad down and grabbed whatever else I needed. The second I took Sean's nappy off he started pissing everywhere, I quickly covered him up with the nappy. Once he stopped I removed the dirty nappy and handed him to my wife so I could quickly change over the change pad to a clean one. As I was doing that Sean started shitting some more, while my wife was holding him suspended in the air, it went all over the ground and the back of my car's boot.
My poor Merc has been tainted…

Isaac is named after Isaac Newton or Isaac Asimov, depending on whether you ask me or the wife. Either is pretty fucking based so i figured it's an excellent name.

Lol, don't listen to this wet blanket. My daughter's name is Dagny after Dagny Taggert. We are not of Nordic descent. And african americans straight up create completely fake names all the time. There are no rules here.

Welcome to the parenting OT!
Here's the place for all kids related topics. For parents, people who are working on it, or people who are just interested in absolute madness.
Some topics to discuss:
- Do you raise your kids gender neutral?
- How many kids do you have?
- Do you call them by their names or simply "BOY" or "GIRL"?
- Was it planned or an "accident"?
- Is your family complete or do you want more?
- Where is all my money all of the sudden?????
- What to buy and use, what not to.
- Tell your insane stories and experiences.
- Ask for advice, share your best strategies and what's not working at all.
- Do you and your partner work together or is one undermining the others efforts?
- Tell us how your kid outsmarted you.
- Venting. A. Lot. Of. Venting.
- Etc.
- Do you raise your kids gender neutral?
No, fuck that shit. She is a total tomboy though.
- How many kids do you have?

- Do you call them by their names or simply "BOY" or "GIRL"?
Name
- Was it planned or an "accident"?
Planned
- Is your family complete or do you want more?
Not sure
- Where is all my money all of the sudden?????
What is money?
The really awkward bit is the kids are the easy bit.
I got first word. I rule, mama drools!
Nice! Same here, with all three kids. Ultra-combo!
Isaac set a new snot standard before his bath today with a 6 inch dangling snot shoelace.
Jeez, the current education system surprised me. My oldest daughter is in school since August last year. They explained their learning system to us, how the kids will learn to read and to write. They don't learn the letters first, not like we did with the alphabet. They learn syllables. Started with mi, then mo, then mu, then ma, then other ones, li, lu, la etc. slowly starting to build words. Also, they learned full "connection" words like "and" or "is".
I was very sceptical at first. But now, after not even six months and the winter holidays without school, some weeks at home due to illness, they already read whole sentences. And not simple ones. Stuff like " Marina and Tom go to the bakery and buy fresh bread. Tom wants to eat it with marmelade." Sure, she has to read slowly and struggles a bit with longer words. But she can read it.

That's a good thing actually. Phonetics used to be banned to be taught (at least here in Canada) and kids were asked to do do associations with words (with disastrous results).
So, is there anything in the world worse than a baby shitting in the bath?
We've inherited a cat.
She is very fussy about cat-litter and won't revisit the tray after she's used it once.
This is compounded by the fact that she has diorreah at the moment.
