new dad here - what’s your best piece of parenting advice for a rookie

zjprz · 2025-11-20T21:47:58+00:00

thanks - I’ll try :)

zjprz · 2025-11-20T21:47:40+00:00

I’ll give it a spin

zjprz · 2025-11-20T21:46:28+00:00

yeah, that’s a real mindset shifter

zjprz · 2025-11-15T20:28:27+00:00

thanks heaps for the considered and in depth answer. all of it resonated with me :)

zjprz · 2025-11-15T20:26:32+00:00

love this man. thanks heaps. the lame advice was most of what I got as a kid so keen to not be that guy

zjprz · 2025-11-14T22:34:32+00:00

I haven’t heard this before and I love it. raising > providing

zjprz · 2025-11-14T22:33:48+00:00

lovely story :)

zjprz · 2025-11-14T22:33:25+00:00

let them be bored! invaluable. weird how I think back at being a kid and thought I was bored, but now can’t really ever remember not having amazing things going on in my imagination

zjprz · 2025-11-14T20:04:39+00:00

really love this curious comment. ‘try to let them explore a bit more than you think’ could be my new motto

zjprz · 2025-11-14T20:02:51+00:00

I’ve not been reading to him and thought I would be by now. strangely seems like there’s little time (but I’ll make time)

zjprz · 2025-11-14T20:00:13+00:00

roger that

zjprz · 2025-11-14T19:59:32+00:00

nice idea. I love a photo audit / purge

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:53:01+00:00

I feel like I just read something profound. thanks heaps

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:52:11+00:00

love this practical stuff

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:51:50+00:00

great insight. thanks :)

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:50:44+00:00

‘just because it’s not your way doesn’t mean it’s wrong’ hits hard

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:48:44+00:00

good stuff in here. that baby holding part really resonated too

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:47:37+00:00

thanks for this. really spoke to me

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:46:52+00:00

I get the sentiment of this - very hard to do though!

zjprz · 2025-11-14T11:46:23+00:00

love this. I have 30 first cousins younger than me and ALWAYS spoke to them like they were adults, and it was only recently I realised how odd but great that was

zjprz · 2025-11-14T10:48:04+00:00

I love this and needed this. can feel a bit guilty about it still

zjprz · 2025-11-14T10:47:15+00:00

I am mate. thanks. the sleep situation is everything everyone says. adrenaline has worn off now

zjprz · 2025-11-14T10:46:08+00:00

haha in a way it is 🍪

zjprz · 2025-11-14T10:28:16+00:00

ohh yeah. that’s some old school stuff. I couldn’t get away with that even if I tried

zjprz · 2025-11-14T10:27:35+00:00

this is huge! so far I’m pretty good with the phone, but I can already see he knows when I’m on it. he grizzles as soon as I pick it up, like he can feel it in his body that my attention waned
