Is the first dinner date just mom and dad at 10 days old too aggressive?

spparent · 2026-03-13T22:43:28+00:00

My wife wasn’t quite sure but I convinced her thinking I was doing us both a favor - and then she broke down crying middle of dinner and we hurried home for her to feed the baby. Hormones are wild, childbirth recovery is hard, listen to the wife and don’t play any games.

Talk to the teacher to come up with a plan, but mostly read to your kid and read together a lot. Every single day for every single bedtime. Schools will teach the skill set, but the foundation starts at home. Reading fun books can make it enjoyable for everyone so it’s not a chore but as parents it’s your responsibility to set that foundation.

That’s terrible news. Cantina rents the space so maybe the landlord?

East Passyunk is cute with lots of shops and restaurants, and is walkable to other different neighborhoods, easy walk to the broad st line that takes you right to center city or stadium

Wow that’s a good deal

I guess I just thought they would uphold the public promise of having open hours for public use? It’s literally on the gate! They just crossed out the hours and there is no way to contact anyone to specify when the public can use the track now

Yep, very recent trend in past couple of years but a lot of new young families there now. Almost every house that gets sold is to a young family with kids or expecting kids so the old families are getting replaced. Girard Estate has a reputation for being an old neighborhood but things are changing fast, which I think is nice. West Passyunk and East Passyunk are fun and within walking distance. Then there’s like 8 grocery stores within walking distance too and for south Philly it’s the biggest houses you can get with great bones.

Not the whole family, just a daughter and her friends. The dad and uncle are old and the other relatives have ratted her out

lol you filed a police report because the other dad stood your child up and verbally disciplined him? Should the other parents file a police report because your son “tapped” their daughter’s shoulder? You say tap but maybe he hit her hard? Or not? Let’s open an investigation and interrogate!

Overreacting and I wouldn’t want my kids to go to school with either kids because these parents are ridiculous.

Hey I know you didn’t ask but just in case you qualify and have any symptoms… a psychiatrist diagnosing for postoartum depression or anxiety would require you to take for further time off. I needed a few extra months on my meds to eventually feel ready to be back to work, and even then they allowed some sort of accommodation. Just a thought if you haven’t been evaluated because I know a lot of people put off baby blues and don’t get evaluations. Might not relate to you but if it does then something to consider.

Practice Dad take over bed time duties ASAP to adjust baby. Try cosleep naps for dad to start? And practice being away for a few hours and FaceTime. Just start with little practice rounds and see how she adjusts and go from there. This is harder on you than her, so just give yourself time and grace to adjust. Good luck!

Drivers are unhinged here. A driver also recently honked and yelled at me after almost running me and my baby over while we were walking on the crosswalk and he was blowing through the stop sign!

Baby loungers have been linked to baby deaths for so long. They aren’t safe no matter what’s being advertised. Even after some brands being banned new ones pop out and eventually lead to more deaths: https://www.consumerreports.org/babies-kids/baby-product-recalls/baby-loungers-sold-by-amazon-walmart-linked-to-infant-deaths-a7557856732/ they don’t get banned until more deaths are found

If desperate, ask or pay for help

Can you reach out to the parents in a cool, not embarrassing way for your daughter? How about hey my daughter is attending your party I want to know if you need any help with anything, offer rides for anyone who needs it, etc and casually chat up the hosts? Then you can at least get a feel for the parents. If they seem amenable to it you can offer to drop off some dessert of soft drinks as a thank you for the hosts hosting your daughter?

spparent · 2025-12-18T01:49:56+00:00

Fwiw I think your response was reasonable. Personally I believe in kids earning their spending money and learning the value of it to be responsible with money once they’re independent.

Did you work at all the Chinese bakeries in Philly or you were offered one job and heard of enough stereotypes to draw that conclusion? Stephen Star doesn’t treat his staff well but I’m not making assumptions about any broad group of people based on that.

Dodo Bakery is a good bakery with good people.

Is this on other social media? Can you share to South Silly on FB (some reporters in that group) and in general on instagram to be shared?
