Ah summertime! When kids are attending camps, swim lessons, summer school, and the like so they can experience different activities and maybe discover some newfound hobbies. Since Kindergarten, this is what we’ve been doing and anyway we have to put them somewhere while we’re working. They did kindle an interest in plays and theatre. It may have been a natural transition from performing in choir groups at school. One of their first plays was Oliver Twist. At first, they had a little stage fright, but that quickly melted away. Now, they’re regularly performing, our intrepid actor and actress, dancing and singing on stage to the tunes of Aladdin and The Wizard of Oz. My high schooler’s drama program is quite impressive and there is nary the dry eye during some of the poignant parts of the play/musical. Are there any parents out there with drama/theater kids in their families?

Your parents did something that mildly traumatized you so you commit to not doing that thing to your children but then your kids come at you later saying they wished you had done that thing you didn’t do It’s the circle of life, really Enjoy

I absorb a lot of talking in my family. Right now my little one is exhaustively describing the plot of the episode of Rainbow High that I watched with them like 8 hours ago. On one hand, I really don’t care. On the other hand I think it’s good for them to internalize that dad’s always gonna listen.

Being a dad and building on Farcaster at the same time ain’t easy, but it’s kinda fun too. :) My youngest is 4 weeks old now and has those awful baby cramps. So how does one build and comfort a baby at the same time? Every night, when mother tries to get some much needed rest, I’m standing up with my laptop on the living room cabinet, carrying our baby in a comforting baby wrap, gently swaying while trying to figure out why my animation rigs break and my netcode lags. Something to never forget.

i just sit here and watch her unfold. sometimes help when something is out of reach. or organize the toys a bit. but more than anything my participation in this situation is passive. i believe agency is cultivated since day one by giving them space and trust to follow their curiosity and explore GM. have a great day

Dad of two girls here. One is 2. The other just finished second grade. This morning, I woke up and realized I've entered the final stage of Sticker Disease. The fridge was only the beginning, then came the cabinets, then the bed. Today, I discovered stickers on my face, arms, legs, and somehow even places I don't remember exposing. Send help.

“Do it now because there won’t be time later” is a very useful heuristic for parenthood.
