Father Brehs … how do you do it ?!?

[MajesticLion]

Cousin Lion's quick and dirty guide to anklebiter wrangling:




1. Develop an accepted-entertainment list for your home and stick by it.

2. A simple effective rule is that for every tv show, movie or video game they pick of that approved list, they're going to read a book. Selected comic books, mythology, folklore, history, sci-fi, whatever. An easy add-on is that you have them read to you, you read to them, or they read on their own.

3. The same filtration system you have to develop in your own head to keep out the sheer tsunami of garbage flung your way daily...is the same way you have to be the filtration system early on for them.

4. They'll adjust just fine and be the better for it.

OP reminded me of when my little cousin would come over and bring his Lion King 2 VHS every time. Lil nikka in front of the TV sing HEEEE IS NOT ONE OF US

I haven't heard this shyt in years.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I like children's movies. Will be my favorite thing about having children, I'll have a good reason to watch the kid movies without feeling like a dumbass


Them joints be hilarious.

I dont want to watch them over and over tho

 

[TRBM]

I can watch Luca, Raya, and maybe Inside Out
all day

Some of these kid movies are low key entertaining

Kidz Bop, Gracie's corner and Jools Tv for the car and I'm set

My youngest is on a 'floor is lava' and monster/bear/dino hunt YouTube kick rn, I hate that shyt

 

[ThrobbingHood]

If there was a way to simulate and skip over the first 5 years of a child’s life, I’d have children in a heartbeat. Those early years look so tedious and boring. Not looking forward to it at all.

[Belize King]

Before our kids were born, my Wife did a road trip with her best friend and her kids to Atlanta from Tampa. Solid 7-8 hour drive with kids. On song played in that car….. Baby Shark for the whole car ride. My Wife was straight.

Now we have two girls under five and the soundtrack to our lives is Ms. Rachael, Gracie’s Corner, and some weird Russian kids that do stuff.

I'd probably make a 1 movie 1 book deal with them. If you watch 1 movie, read one book in my household. Those are the rules.

 

[maxamusa]

trust me bro; you don't see it now but sitting there vybing watching those shows is priceless....that aint gonna last forever.

have them all snuggled up with you....when they laugh and feeling their whole body vibrate against yours

sharing fruit snacks
I use to stop shows and ask them ?s and have little conversations about what we were watching....checking if they were stoopid or not

-Throwing on Cartoon Network for the kids is how I discovered DBZ & the Aqua Teens.
