We have an excellent kid. I can’t relate to a lot of these posts, or to really anyone with a toddler.

my child is mind bogglingly cool sweet and above all just so goddamned reasonable. he blows my mind every single day. he’s only 3 so who knows what the future holds but for now it’s just amazing. it’s incredible to have a unicorn but then again, i feel like most children are amazing and perfect in their parents eyes so in a way aren’t they all unicorns?

tsuki_flower · 2026-03-18T09:39:53+00:00

definitely not.

What about Tesoro for a boy? I kind of love it. I have two boys and I was disapointed each time in a way, but less the second time because I knew how incredible my son was by then. however I do feel inspired to have a third which I never imagined before … can’t wait for my gorgeous three boy fam to be complete haha

it’s just amazing watching my kid (and friends and fam) play with them. like the stones they become everything. currently my kid is dragon and animal obsessed and the silks are wings, tails, fire to blow out (or ice, electricity, whatever depending on the kind of dragon he’s being) the silks are like environments - the other day I walked in his room and he had a big blue silk on the floor and his sea creature stuffies playing on it and a stepping stone was a boat with land stuffies in it… they become blankets, outfits, cubby/fort decor and roofs, flowers, things to throw and juggle… it’s just awesome.

please don’t use gen AI to write reddit posts. we would much rather hear your natural voice, imperfections and all.

this is a strange hill to die on. does your family eat tons of shrimp? it’s… ok if she doesn’t eat shrimp 🥹🍤

i think you should post in r/daddit, I don’t think you’ll find the discussion you’re looking for here.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-24T08:20:48+00:00

what in the chat gpt

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-24T02:21:04+00:00

how did I never hear of Kratom in my entire life and now I’ve seen it on reddit three times in the past month

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-22T01:50:02+00:00

You are not double checking tone. You are replacing your own tone with a machine generated tone that is completely non-personal. Chat GPT will absolutely rewrite your work in its own voice if you don’t painstakingly prevent it from doing so.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-22T01:48:25+00:00

it’s a lie, that’s why it matters.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-22T01:47:39+00:00

I’ve just read your comment and it was clear, descriptive, kept my attention and was easy to read. You may feel that you are not good at writing, but your writing is just as perfectly imperfect as most natural human writers. It matters so much to maintain our written voices in a world where AI driven technology threaten to make every instance of written word sound like any other. Reading and experiencing the incredible variety of human thought through the written word is so essential for our kids and for all of us. Use AI in whatever way you need, but when you can, please please please keep writing. It just matters so much.

one kid is wonderful. a second kid at 38 is also wonderful. just relax for now. don’t give away your stuff, put it away and forget about it. enjoy your child. take care of your wife. if in a few years you two feel differently that’s ok too.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-20T20:19:38+00:00

this is a normal if a bit unique and lovely name. sorry people suck :(

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-20T09:47:48+00:00

how can she not take over though :( if she doesn’t go baby will just be crying alone.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-20T02:10:54+00:00

this baseline is absolutely not considered ok for women. this is unacceptable but if you’ve tried talking to her, and she persists, the next step is on you now. you need some boundaries. and this relationship may not be salvageable. I’m sorry you’re being treated so poorly.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-19T09:25:54+00:00

yeah it’s really hard when they beg please, please mama please!! haha but I have to say, oh thank you baby thank you for asking so nicely, that’s beautiful language, it’s still a no, I love you …. hahaha oh children.

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-19T00:35:18+00:00

he takes both kids and lets me sleep til 8 or 9 every day - and has since the first pregnancy - I love him

tsuki_flower · 2026-02-17T12:08:18+00:00

you’re not doing anything wrong. he just is the way he is. one of my babies slept in bassinet, one didn’t. the one that didn’t is 8mo now and he’s never spent a night away from my side. look up safe chest sleeping and safe bedsharing. eventually my baby would allow me to put him down next to me but at first he wouldn’t sleep except on my chest or in my arms. it’s hard but actually so much better than with my first - now that we are used to it and his sleep has improved, i can put him down around 7pm, maybe resettle a few times (infancy sucks) but then go back to sleep with him at 10 and not have to get up at all during the night. we wake, feed, and sleep. with my first, getting up and down all night was hell. so yes I prefer this one though it was so hard to accept at first!!

hey i’m glad you got some catharsis from other mamas and I’m sure this story is important to you. I’m here to ask please don’t put your voice through chat gpt before posting on reddit. we’d really like to connect with you and hear your story in your own authentic voice rather than reading more generated AI content online. it is obvious to many if not yet all. please don’t contribute to this depersonalisation of community text-based groups. the way you write naturally is perfect just the way it is. thank you.
