Talking is fine.  It's the screaming that befuddles me.

Good god, from this thread we should all start trying to have a child to avoid having one.....

Seriously, y'all do know they make pills to stop all this reproduction stuff right?  

I mean these little humans sound all cute and sweet and cuddly in theory, and they aren't half bad until they learn to talk...

"Stopping trying not to conceive" is actually a time-honored and effective way of conceiving.

My second child was conceived that way. I tried for two years to conceive the first one, complete with taking a horrid medication to suppress the effects of my brain tumor which, theoretically, renders me sterile. I didn't get pregnant until we'd utterly given up, so for the second one, we decided not to try, but rather to simply forgo birth control and forget about it.

The third one, though, made it through against unbelievable odds, including fibroids, the brain tumor, AND an IUD. 

There was no way I couldn't have her after all that! That's a tough one. And indeed, she is.

Good lord!
Yer lucky she didn't chew her way out of you!


Also, congrats to you Rong!

Congratulations LMNO.

I suggest you start learning the art of power napping now.

I would agree and laugh with you, except it really is different when it's your own. I can't stand other people's children, I learned first hand over a period of 9 months, but I'm gaga for my monkey...

Congratulations, LMNO. 

There's a tradition here....a LEGACY to continue.

Thank you for offsetting the cabbage breeding.

My boy's initials are going to be MSG.  No troll.  And my wife is okay with that. 

  my kid's spell BAT

yes, it was on purpose. no, the father had no clue what i was doing

This morning, I came very close to convincing her that, if it was a boy, to call him Joshua Norton.

YES. THIS.

You should hear some of the dorky shit I came up with.

Parenthood is ridiculously fun, and it comes with extra bonuses when you teach your kid critical thinking at an early age.

Needless to say, mine constantly fuck with me... hence the fun.

How'd you do that? I learned way too late for me to be any good at it, but I wanted to teach my monkey how.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

My kids' initials don't spell anything fun. I have JCA (her grandma, who she is the spitting image of, is so into this kid that she promptly changed her email to jcagma.something.com) SHA and OCS.

The last one's middle name is "Clementine", because I was totally obsessed with clementines throughout my pregnancy and ate thousands of them. Luckily, I did not give the other two the middle names "Hard-Boiled Egg" and "Pepperoncini".

The easiest (and funnest) way is to tell them lots of bullshit, really obvious silly bullshit to begin with, and watch them realize you're fucking with them, then laugh. They will learn that misinformation is funny, and to not just accept things they are told as truth. Eventually, they start to become suspicious of everything you say, and will think about it hard before they believe you. It's easy to find it funny when they start doing it back to you, which they totally start at a young age, so they get reinforcement for this behavior through your delight and laughter, and the BEST is pretending you believe them, so they can get a kick out of feeding you misinformation.

Children absolutely thrive with the sense of power and control they get from realizing they can make adults believe bullshit. It also teaches them a sense of responsibility with their words, because they usually learn quickly with that power that you can hurt people by telling them things that are untrue.

You must always make sure your bullshit is compassionate bullshit that won't hurt their feelings, i.e. never pranking them or misleading them in a way that leaves them feeling duped, foolish, or disappointed, or putting them down by laughing at them for believing something silly. You also have to still punish them for lying for personal gain, and this teaches them that harmless, silly pranking is funny, but misleading people in order to get their way is not funny and hurts people they care about. Ideally, you will end up with an ethical kid with a sense of humor, ethics, and critical thinking skills.

We should work on a Discordian addendum to baby care manuals!

Also, congrats to LMNO! I wish you guys all the best 

[LMNO]

Interesting, Nigel.  That's pretty much what my dad did to me and my brother. 


Also, Mrs LMNO is now MAMA T.

I have become L PAPA.


And, with no prompting from the board, she is calling the lump of cells "Squidly".


I know.  Weird.
