Yesterday my son peed in the exact spot where I just finished cleaning up cat pee.

2 years old and already dominant among the cats. Not bad

"ask your father, all I wanted was a back rub."

This was so unfunny that I'm going to actively be less sarcastic to my kid from now on

Human reproduction is the biggest con. The worst thing is, we're the ones fooling ourselves.

What are Condoms?: The Comic

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Let's be real here. You knew this going in. Condoms have existed for a while.

I've had the opportunity to foster kids three times in my life, and every time I would wake up in the morning with this incredible sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Having someone who relies on you and trusts you and genuinely wants to be around you as much as possible gives a deep sense of meaning to my life.

Being around someone with this endless curiosity and boundless energy is invigorating. It makes me feel young, in turn. And it gives me an outlook on life I haven't had since I was very young, myself.

And babies are fucking adorable! I cannot express how crazy cute babies are. Everything they do makes me smile, even the gross things or the grumpy things, because they do it with such naked sincerity.

Currently working through the official adoption process with my wife, because we can't have kids the old fashioned way. And my only real regret is that we didn't do this shit ten years sooner.

Thank you so much for giving me the words to express my feelings better in the future. I could sign every sentence. We were lucky enough to be able to have kids the old fashioned way and I enjoy it to a degree I could not have fathomed before.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you two get through the adoption process fast and easy and that you will soon be happy long term parents to a wonderful child. Also, thank you for giving foster kids a loving home.

My daughter is 4 and rolls her eyes at me at a highschool level.

Why? I . . . I . . don’t know!

The horny police take you down the horny road to horny jail. Where's all this horny infrastructure springing from?

[–] GoosLife@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's crazy. Imagine being the kid who discovers their mom made comics, featuring them - first discovering the comics were widespread but also widely criticized. Then while checking some of the comments, learning that your mom also sells nudes.

The creator mentions it herself on Reddit constantly (or she used to a year ago when I still used it.).

My mother once said "because of sex".

Bring back the good old days of hands-off parenting and child labour!
