Terri K O 🍁<p>Lol. So kiddo was like "isn't a resurrected god-child basically a demon?" so I see Kirby and Legend of Zelda and Guild Wars have really taught him the important stuff about gods. He's in for some really weird conversations with his peers one of these days. 😂</p><p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a></p>
JackieM<p>Made my kids scrambled eggs and toast this morning and they helped and somehow that involved 2 knives, 4 forks, two plates, 2 bowls, 2 spatulas and a pan. </p><p>Ugh. </p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a></p>
Terri K O 🍁<p>Well, I made a snarky comment and now my kid thinks that Easter is the festival of spring and eggs and bunnies and zombies. 🤦‍♀️ </p><p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a></p>
Bec<p>I was chatting to one of Kid3's friends in the kitchen the other week, and he was saying that he helped his mum in the garden now and then. </p><p>'I find it kind of boring,' he admitted.</p><p>And while I was weeding today, I was thinking how there is a bunch of things like that in your childhood, isn't there? But it's still good to have those experiences, even the boring ones, the chores. I didn't really love gardening as a child either, or makig food, or practising piano – I would have rather been reading or playing with my pets or hanging out with friends.</p><p>And now cooking, gardening, playing music... they're skills I have and ones I've grown better at myself through practice, and more importantly, I love doing them.</p><p>When I spoke to the friend, I reassured him that he might come to enjoy the gardening later and he smiled (because he is 14 and later is forever away, isn't it?)</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conversations</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>

Peter<p>My eldest sang "Colors of the Wind" at her very MAGAT high school tonight for the talent show. </p><p>No one vetted her intro clip where she said she wanted to do it because it was excellent social commentary, and no one vetted her background that got projected up on stage. </p><p>As a parent, I'm both very proud of her, and very twitchy about how her Monday will go. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parenting</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/Resistenza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resistenza</span></a></p>
