Hey dads. How’s your day/week/existence going?

My wife, spontaneously (actually to procrastinate), decided to start sorting through our thousands of saved but unsorted phone pictures of the kids etcetera. Kinda magical to revisit some forgotten moments through the years.

Will make it a hell of a lot easier when I finally get round to picking a handful to send to my own parents. (Specifically curated so that when my mum ends up ‘accidentally’ putting another one on Facebook I don’t have to go too nuclear. Just regular firebombing.)

    Our older kid (preteen) has started raging out when we ask him to do stuff. It’s frustrating. We’ve talked it through, and it seems to be because he doesn’t like it when we repeatedly ask him to do x. So now we have a rule: we’ll ask twice and give him five minutes. That has worked for the past few days.

      What happens after the five minutes?

      I used a similar tactic for my (then) 4 year old. I’d give her a choice (getting dressed v brushing teeth) and if I didn’t get a response after two minutes I’d make the decision for her. That seemed to work… although it’s less effective now.
