JustAnAverageDude, in Me: Literally anything. Almost 2 year old daughter:

I’m at this stage with my daughter as well. She says a very clear and confident “no” to everything, even the things she wants.

“Want to go for a walk?” “No” (proceeds to find her shoes)

I am starting to respond to her positive actions with “but you said no. Are you changing your mind?” - if her answer is still no I hold her to it.

Yep.. Exactly where I am. She is so darn cute but it can be frustrating at times for her and me. She just can't express herself fully yet... even though her mind is.

faiora, in Me: Literally anything. Almost 2 year old daughter:

My three year old doesn’t bother with “no” most of the time, he just screams.

Or sometimes I get “NO I DO IT.”

Man, the independent streak lasts huh? My daughter wants to do everything herself already! Also, that sounds cute to me but at the same time I totally know for you as the parent dealing with it...

Perdendosi, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

It depends on how many small bills the tooth fairy happens to have on him at the relevant night. I'm only a little ashamed in admitting that, one day when only $20s were in the wallet, I may have snuck into the LO's room, grabbed a couple of singles from her piggy bank, and then had the tooth fairy give her those (supplementing later, of course).

Embarrassed to admit that I am drawing a blank, but now I'm reminded of r/DanielTigerConspiracy. Has anyone spun up a version of that on here yet?

36goingon100,

Don't know that one. TLDR?

Kurt,

It's a subreddit where people would share and discuss non-canon lore for various children's media. I remember a post where we speculated on the religion(s) observed in Danial Tiger, for example. (There is no god but Trolly.)

soybeanscheesesticks,

Ooh yeah that's a classic, I haven't seen a version of that one here

Fokker, in Tantrum free weekend

Congratulations! And don't forget to commend him and tell him how great it was that there were no arguments, and if he felt the same? High five, and be ready for more ups and downs. ;)

GrindingGears, in 10-year old lost her last baby tooth and I'm a mess.

Is it raining in here? I think it's raining in here...

$5 here. The last one (like last, last) was $20. https://lemmy.world/post/75069

@Intrepid_Corvid@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

I can relate with your kid, I've just yelled why over and over when I hurt myself at times.

_pete_, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

1 shiny pound coin.

It’s a bit stingy but we will usually add it to some other money to get a cheapo toy.

Played with a knife then she got mad at me for taking it from her. Then got even more mad when I tried to explain to her why it's dangerous. She's 3 years old

Steak,

sounds about right

Mongostein, in Its quiet around here dads

Not a dad, but a school bus driver. I had a kid lose her marbles.

We found them we I hit the breaks.

postgeographix,

I have only ever heard of people 'losing their marbles' figuratively, until this

My four year old informed me, via the Father's Day questionnaire she filled out at school, that I am 18 years old. I thought I was 37. I hope they don't call the cops on her mother.

I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a dadsplaining post since my last one and I was concerned for a moment that my instance, lemmy.one, decided to pull a Beehaw on lemmy.ca.

Steak,

i made my first account on lemmy.one then found out about lemmy.ca and made one here.

surewhynotlem, in Its quiet around here dads

We were playing lego and she destroyed my tower. Then she reprimanded me because I wasn't sad enough. So I spent the next 20 minutes rebuilding/breaking/me fake crying/repeat. It was, apparently, hilarious.

surewhynotlem, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

$2 in quarters for the 6yo.

jasparagus, in Its quiet around here dads

Minor meltdown over tooth brushing, but that's... about it.

Today was a good day.
