Kiddo - Tumblr Posts
Does anyone genuinely call their siblings sis, sister, little/big sis, bro, brother, little/big brother etc. as constantly as this appears to be portrayed in media? I’m extremely sceptical. Now, affectionally addressing them by something like “slug”, “toad”, “fool”, and “bitch”, or even dare I say it, their gotdamn name, is, from my experience, so much more natural.
When I suddenly realize I am already 29... but still a little kid watching cartoons.

you will never understand how much this hurts until you play genocide ;3; I was ready for what he had to say at the church? (not really sure what the church was for lol) and I love the whole speech. T-T Now I’m going to kill him too aw...
self-indulgent comic that got a little out of hand
the pacifist judgement scene always gets me really emotional and i wish i could convey that to skelly bud somehow
In one experiment, mothers were asked to guess the steepness of a carpeted slope that their 11-month olds would be able to crawl. Then the children actually crawled the slope, and the difference between actual and mother-predicted angles was noted. The results showed that both boys and girls were able to crawl the same degree of incline. However, the predictions of the mothers were correct within one degree for the boys and underestimated their daughter’s ability by nine degrees. What this shows is that the presumption that boys are more physical causes parents to encourage their boys more in physical activities while cautioning their girls. This further translates into providing more opportunities for boys to be physical and fewer for girls. The result? Boys actually do develop stronger physical skills than girls. But not because of anything innate or biological, but rather because of the gender roles that the parents subconsciously projected onto their babies.

Stop. This is important.

Myself, I think there are areas that women tend to do better in than men, and vice-versa, so I don’t believe that boys generally developing stronger physical skills than girls is entirely due to the way they’re raised. I do, however, think the difference is greatly exaggerated, and treating said differences as far more significant than they are greatly exacerbates them.

My daughter is extremely strong, tough, and athletic. She's three, but she's shown those tendencies from an early age. And I encouraged that in her, letting her test her boundaries where I felt the chance of injury was limited or the injury itself would be minor at worst. That is hard as a parent. But I feel like it's something that will help her as a person. It means she does more daredevil climbing things, jumps from more high places than I'm strictly comfortable with, and balances in places that I think she should be holding on tight with both hands. If I think it's dangerous, I correct her. But overall, I let her extend her physical control of the environment.
She's never going to be a little girl who plays quietly with dolls in the corner and I'm okay with that.
I cannot, for the life of me, put myself in this woman's head. She seems incredibly selfish and self-centered. Especially when she talks about how easy and wonderful her second child was.
I could not possibly love my kiddo more. She is perfect because she is herself. She's not as interested in reading and quiet play as I was, but I really don't care. I watch her run and do flips and jumps and climb and she's so damned HAPPY doing those things that I can't help but be proud. And I tell her that constantly. I reinforce the positive because that's how you make a little girl into a woman. If she had been autistic or had another learning disability, it would have made life harder, but loving and caring about her would have been just as easy.

summary: ‘i didnt like my child bc she had characteristics that made me think she was autistic and i spent all my time trying to get her diagnosed and trying to fix her but it turned out she had a treatable hormone disorder and now i like her bc she no longer seems autistic!!! LOL good thing she wasnt for real autistic’
When we're children, 'run' is the default setting.

I just had the most surreal experience

My kiddos, having some free time in class with music playing: Ms. C, can you play that rock song?
Me: The huh?
My kiddos: The rock song!
Me: The??? What???
*About 10 minutes later, after finally giving up on attempting to solve what the heck they meant, the “rock song” cycles through the playlist*
The song in question, you ask? This:
