We were/are always just honest with our kids. No, we don’t think there’s a god/goddess/whatever. When we/grandma/grandpa/whoever dies, they’re just gone. Nobody knows where the universe/world comes from. As far as anyone knows it’s several billion years old. Explain the big bang as best as we know it. Etc.
There’s no ‘right’ way for so many things when it comes to kids. Ours know that many people believe in a god. We don’t. That’s ok.
The ‘litter boxes in the bathrooms’ continues to come up, like clockwork every few months. It’s absurd. As fucking if anyone has ever actually put a litter box in a bathroom in a gods damned school.
The level of overall 'civic engagement ’ on Lemmy has been pretty great.
Yeah, the growth of world, ml, beehaw, and Lemmy in general over the last month is pretty incredible. I’m on five instances. And they’ve all grown incredibly.
I have accounts on 5 instances… you kinda need multiple accounts IMHO.
Connect was ok. Give liftoff and/or summit a try.
Kinks mean the process is working.
I’m currently rotating between liftoff and summit. Slide is what I can’t wait for. I was an avid slide for reddit user for years.
Eh, I wound up with a YouTube premium subscription years ago when I subscribed to Google play music, way back when it was YouTube Red. I cannot imagine going without at this point. It became YouTube music at some point, and… Yeah.
Right? After years of feeling like the only pro-firefox person left on the planet, the pro Firefox sentiment lately is a breath of fresh air, to say the least.
So what we all need to be doing now, is figuring out how to grow things without massive quantities of artificial fertilizer use. By simply using manure and compost as has been done for millennium.
I mean. It’s not wrong…
I’m trying connect now. Jerboa keeps crashing like madness on me…
Kinda feels that way huh?
We took our youngest son camping regularly starting around one. He was still breastfeeding and in diapers… Actually, they both were the first time or three we went camping. THAT was a bit rough. We were into cloth diapers… But, ultimately decided that, while camping disposables were worth it.
Yes. My boys, (now 13& 16) grew up camping on many a spring/summer/fall weekend. Being without tech is key. That’s half the point and fun of it. Let them bring toys of all sorts for both inside and outside the tent.
Mine always used to bring army men damned near everywhere. I’m sure there’s piles of them at dozens of sites we camped at over the years. Water guns if it’s warm. Glow sticks for at night. Play in the mud and the rain. Get dirty. stay up late.
Extra socks and maybe a change of shoes. Let them go barefoot. Don’t over plan too much. See what’s up. And go with it. We’re getting ready for our vaca ourselves 8+ days of camping across the northeast:) it should be grand
Hahaha this is great
So true. And yet… I’m also not surprised.
