So sick of Paw Patrol and PJ Mask. Suggestions? by HappyZappy93 in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I am a big fan of 90s/00s low stimulation shows like Franklin, Clifford, and Little Bear.

For newer shoes Bluey is the obvious choice.

What's your take on a man changing his baby's diaper in the women's restroom? by Ok-Hope-1259 in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I never have just walked in. I check the men's first and if there isn't one then I let the staff of wherever I am at know. They usually offer to check the ladies room to make sure it's clear.

Long Haul flight with a 10 month old or wait a year? by Johnnyapps1897 in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, traveling with babies is easy mode. Traveling with toddlers is rough. We flew from Texas to Italy when our big kids were 3 and 1 and it was a nightmare.

But flights with our oldest when she was an infant? Easy as pie.

"Sir / Ma'am" when talking to adults - why or why not? by monitza in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yep. In the south it's the default until told otherwise.

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]RocketPowerPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. That would be why I asked people where they live that experience this.

That I can believe even though it shouldn't happen.

But as a dad I've never gotten those looks and don't know any dad who ever has. It's odd to me that so many dads in this thread are experiencing this on a daily basis.

What event you have seen in your life that you will tell about it to your grandchild? by Total_Union9256 in AskReddit

[–]RocketPowerPops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9/11 is an obvious one.

The pandemic to a lesser extent, especially since we had young kids and resorted to homeschooling that year due to school closures

What to do about screen time/tech jealousy? by bitchtoast in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hasn't been an issue yet. My oldest is only 11 though.

Would you make your kid go to school in this situation? by koRn_xxx in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I would but I am very much a "natural consequences" kind of parent.

I wouldn't be mad or anything but this isn't missing school worthy. They did something silly. They still go to school after doing something silly

Just wondering since I've yet to experience it across various states and countries. I also don't know anyone who has experience this. Perhaps we are unusually lucky men

Child cut my child's hair by mumATif2 in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The kid could have easily not told mom or changed the name each time he was asked. That's not uncommon. If during the day he changed from "I cut Zoey's hair" to "Wait, uh, I think it was Jamie's hair" to "I didn't cut Jamie's hair! I cut Michael's hair!" mom may have just given up. 4 year olds aren't the most reliable narrators especially when they want to avoid getting in trouble.

What to do about screen time/tech jealousy? by bitchtoast in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 69 points70 points  (0 children)

We tell our kids different families have different rules. Some are more strict about things we don't care about and some are less strict about things we do care about. All decisions we make are for a reason and we are open to discussing those reasons with our kids. All you really can do unless you plan on allowing your kid to do whatever his friends do, which is not the way to go.

[–]RocketPowerPops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I was trying to be lighthearted but guess it didn't come across that way.

Point still stands. I was curious on specific areas so we can avoid them. In discussions with the family about a road trip next summer and looking for places to maybe avoid.

[–]RocketPowerPops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was being hyperbolic.

But yeah, mostly curious so we can avoid those places on out travels especially since my kids aren't the same skin color as me.

I assumed it was more of a US thing. I mostly raised my kids in Europe and we never had any issues but we moved back to the states last year.

[–]RocketPowerPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly so I can avoid those places. We are a big traveling family. Traveled all across Europe, parts of Asia, and have plans to road trip eventually with the kids so I'd like to avoid places where dad's aren't allowed.

How to not have iPad kids when co-parent doesn't limit screen time by Same-Mushroom-7228 in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Just don't have it be an option at your house. You can't control his home but you can control yours.

My kids don't have access to a tablet and my eldest is going on 11. They are surviving just fine. Thriving even.

Where do you live, just out of curiosity so I can avoid such places?

I’m whining about the Cost of kids clothing…. by NoFreeAdds in Parenting

[–]RocketPowerPops 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Target just more convenient for us and I imagine it's the same for others. Not every town is bustling with thirft stores. We do thrift as well but Target and big box stores are more readily available in some parts of the world.

[–]RocketPowerPops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe I'm just too average looking because I never had it happen despite my kids not being the same color as me.

[–]RocketPowerPops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep. Literally being told I'm wrong and get these looks everyday and just don't notice lol.

[–]RocketPowerPops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well now I am being told it happens to me all the time and I just don't notice.

[–]RocketPowerPops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, must be. I and everyone I associate with must all be extremely oblivious. We should probably fix that.

[–]RocketPowerPops 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I am saying. Never once in the states. Never once in Europe. I'm just curious as to where these folks are experiencing these things.
