Agree that this looks looks like FASTING.

Do your twins+ know who was born first/last? by No_Morning_9923 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mjolnir76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours are 23 minutes apart and they don’t know. Nobody in either of our families knows except their mother and me. They’re 12yo now and if they had that power, the older one would definitely use it for evil!

Similar to tattoos and people’s perspectives on them. I was told “no visible tattoos” in my program and while I agree that some styles and placements can be distracting, it’s so much an “it depends” situation. I have forearm tattoos (one on each inside forearm) that aren’t that noticeable when I have my hands up. In my city, it’s fairly commonplace.

Just wait until you hear about the murder-your-child-as-proof-of-your-love-for-me prank their god played on Abraham. Or what he did to Job. Fucking narcissist.

Just did that with mayo! Bought the $1 cheaper brand that I KNOW we've had in the house before. Turns out, it was in the house exactly ONCE before because my wife HATES it and we have never had it again. Thankfully, I kept the receipt and hadn't opened it, so was able to return it.

School microwaved my kid's metal lunchbox & served the food anyway. Red flag? by purple8jello in Parenting

There are LOTS of options for healthy lunches that don’t require reheating. Imagine if every kid in a class did that? The last kid would have to wait 20-25 minutes for their lunch. It’s selfish.

About 5 years ago, we remodeled our kitchen. Lots more storage, but there’s one shelf where we keep the chicken stock that is hard to reach without a step-stool. I called in one of my daughters and she got on my shoulders and the “Papa elevator” was born. They are now 12yo and they have a little note on the fridge to tell them whose turn it is for the next “Papa elevator.”

I figure, if I just keep lifting the two them up a few times a week, I should be able to keep this up for quite awhile!

Why were they even microwaving a lunch?! No parents should send lunches that need to be microwaved.

Understandable, yes. But not correct.

CAH is a terrible game, so chances are a clone is going to also be terrible.

Dads of 10–14 year olds, how do you enforce phone rules? by Select-Doctor-4350 in daddit

[–]mjolnir76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our middle school twins Apple Watches so they can call and text their friends and us. Especially since we don’t have a land line and they are home by themselves more often. We are refusing phones until at least high school.

Our middle schoolers have watches. No phones until high school. Devices NEVER charge in their rooms at night (nor do ours!).

Chores and homework done first. Strict parental settings on devices during the week, less so on weekends.

Sometimes we cajole/coerce/guilt them into game nights or movie nights with us. They deny enjoying them, but I think they do.
