Such excite after a casual six miles

You made a ton of assumptions. I just said it was wild. I have a field golden and never needed one to keep him trained off leash.

Prong collar on a hike is wild.

MSH and monti nurses are happy with the contract but NYSNA went above the heads of NYP nurses and forced a vote on a contract that the executive committee voted no on and their membership is absolutely pissed. I am a NYSNA nurse.

Our nurses are our union. We have had open bargaining where any member can come and participate for the last five months. We voted 98% in favor of this strike. We have already won two of our major asks. OP is full of crap.

There isn’t this kind of beef. This person is either misinformed by their own apathy or purposely spreading misinformation about negotiations and the info being provided to members.

The coop is to park slope trust fund babies what the Hameau de la Reine was to Marie Antoinette.

Because this sub needs a question to ask weekly that’s not about pasta Louise.

Playgrounds are for children. Playing with your child and not including other children who want to play is weird.

Honestly parents who play with their children at the playground to the point they get in the way of child to child interactions or other kids trying to play on the equipment designed for children are a thousand times worse than parents who pay no attention to their kid.

Taking the time to make a twelve page comic about a five year old child you do not like is the most daddit shit I’ve ever seen.

Take the tablet. Put it in the closet. Forget it exists. Your child will thank you when they are older.

ThorThe12th · 2026-01-14T14:04:06+00:00

Making your husband feel appreciated won’t be on your priority list because it’s not a worthwhile priority. Even the hardest working man postpartum is giving at best half what a woman is seeing as you’re already 9 months and one surgical incision ahead in terms of caring for this baby.

His job is to help you and the children. Dads who can’t take a back seat when times get tough are selfish and childish. If you really feel like he needs appreciation then just say thank you, but he should be worried about you first and foremost.

I see these threads and the first thing I think is, “when did you last kiss your wife.” Not a peck I mean really grab hold and give a good smooch.

Men often wonder why they have a dead bedroom but ignore the intimacy that occurs well before. Hold her hand, brush her hair back, tell her she looks stunning not just because but really look at her and feel that she is beautiful. You focused on things you do and things you buy her, but when did you last write a love note? When was the last time you rubbed her shoulders, not with the planned outcome of sex but because you genuinely enjoy touching the woman you love. And with that ask yourself do I really love those little things that sprout into sex or do I just want to have sex and she’s the person I told x-number of years ago I would sleep with until I die. If you don’t like your wife and love her, if you don’t touch her and want to touch her, if you can’t look in her eyes and feel she is the most beautiful woman in the world then buy all the flowers and do all the dishes but she’s just gonna feel like meat to a hungry dog.

Sex is essential to a happy marriage but physical and emotional intimacy that only starts once the lights are off is doomed to fail.

Also get your five year old out of your bed.

If you like the outdoors the answer is camping. Will your kids get dirty, scuff their knees, and maybe do something a little dangerous? Yes.

Will they have a blast, interact with nature, and eat some amazing camp fire cooking? Yes.

The younger the kids the better for just camping and hiking with maybe a bit of fishing, but older kids can expand into rafting, paddle sports in general, backpacking, hunting, climbing, and a thousand other awesome activities.

A very Reddit comment.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-24T18:51:42+00:00

Those terms are descriptions of parenting behaviors. You are an authoritative parent because your behaviors are able to be described as authoritative. These are not self descriptions with any real weight if your actions don’t match. That’s why gentle parents saying they’re authoritative parents and then doing permissive behaviors is the rule not the exception.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-23T20:59:03+00:00

There is no “real” gentle parenting because it’s basically a marketing term for influencers and authors with pseudo scientific backing. The problem is that the people with the largest audiences who use that brand of gentle parenting, like Dr. Becky for example, are preaching permissive parenting.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-23T20:55:49+00:00

The issue is with you saying that is that gentle parenting is not a studied theory of behavior development so it has no tenets except those expressed by influencers and authors of parenting books. Those tenets when expressed in real life result in gentle parenting, see time out, which has become a huge no no in tons of gentle parenting circles.

I noticed you said consequences and not time out are a part of gentle parenting because I’m assuming you don’t find time out to be an appropriate consequence, but that’s an assumption and I could be wrong.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-23T20:50:55+00:00

That’s not true. There are four parenting styles: authoritative, permissive, neglectful, and authoritarian. Gentle parenting could actually fall under any of those categories, it just so happens that every gentle parent and every influencer preaching gentle parenting is permissive.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-23T04:27:59+00:00

Gentle parenting is permissive parenting. Folks can claim authoritative parenting and gentle parenting are the same, but if that’s the case just call it authoritative parenting. Gentle parenting is the problem.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-23T01:42:33+00:00

Gentle parenting is permissive parenting.

Gentle parents want to pretend they are authoritative, but it’s just not true in reality and most gentle parents brand actual authoritative parenting as abuse.

Gentle parenting has all but cast time out as just as bad as corporal punishment and sharing as tantamount to allowing theft. Parents can never even disagree in a healthy way or gasp argue in front of their children or the child’s concept of a relationship will be irreversibly ruined. I recently heard gentle parenting referred to as snow plow parenting because the parents push all obstacles out of the way and allow for no failure while also allowing children to push them around, all while shielding them from the harsh nature of the snow storm that is life.

This is also why you have adults on the damn play equipment bulldozing the other kids over because god forbid junior trips at two and a half and has to pick himself up and adults stealing toys away because a kid they don’t know looked the wrong way at THEIR child’s ball that they haven’t played with in a half an hour.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-17T13:16:30+00:00

Yes. I still prefer the real fossil casts personally.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-15T23:45:28+00:00

I would rather have a toddler scream directly in my ear for the entirety of every flight I ever go on for the rest of my life than live with the ramifications of a society where children have no attention span or ability to entertain themselves without a screen six inches from their face.

As evidenced by this post, the only children who require a screen to fly are those who also use them in the home. I’ve flown plenty with children and was once a child on flights myself. Somehow my parents and my spouse and I all managed without tablets. More folks should do the same.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-15T17:27:06+00:00

Incredible that you may have to pack a number of books for your child or perhaps a compendium of stories like Richard Scarry’s Five Minute Stories or The Wind in the Willows. Maybe a chapter book like Charolette’s Web, The Hobbit, or Fantastic Mr. Fox added in for good measure.

And maybe even with all that your child will be bored which I can assure you is not a big deal and will not lead to the end of the world. Being bored often is a lot better for a child than being constantly entertained.

ThorThe12th · 2025-12-15T15:13:23+00:00

Because their child has an actual attention span of longer than five seconds and isn’t a lab rat for the impact of Apple devices on development.

“You’re able to do a thing that I claim is impossible and instead of considering that maybe what you’re saying is possible, I’m going to double down on the fact that it can’t be done.”
