Pikachu is a predator. Dude only pretends to be cute and nice but he can attack if he wants to

The animals for kids thing is more like... There are a lot of animals that are weirdly gendered. You will have a hard time finding boy clothes with cats, horses, bunnies. You will have a hard time finding girl clothes with sharks, lions, eagles.

Now, what do I mean with "boy clothes" even, isn't everything kid's clothes? And that's where I got amazed when the same pyjama set sold at size 74/80 - that is a baby size - had vastly different cuts for the girl design (a narwal argonaut) and the boy design (a dino astronaut). My girl never even fit into the girl set because it was so narrow. Not even when she was actually wearing 68. She fit into the boy set until she was actually wearing 98.

The sad truth is that clothes are awkwardly gendered from early on. Few brands make truly unisex designs. There is nothing wrong with girls wearing a wide tshirt with sharks or boys wearing a pink leggings. But to most people this will be an "X in Y clothes". Few brands design unisex clothing and few brands will create a dino dress for girls or a bunny shirt for boys. They exist, but among the common brands it is rather rare.

Edit to add: apparently watermelons are unisex. I've seen them on a lot of swim wear this season. Just in case you wondered about the genderedness of fruit. Because that's also a thing.

That, my friend, was the shower thought that followed the original shower thought

What shops are you referring to? Nothing I ever ordered refunded my delivery fee upon return. This includes but is not limited to Amazon, Ikea, Zalando, Otto, Roller, Kaufland, Lidl, Yarn Shops, DM, Mediamarkt.

Well he could do some vote in his second term to overrule the amendment and allow him to run again which мы конечно же пока еще не видели похожее

Congrats, you perfectly missed the point of the message you replied to.

Maybe your nephew gets the iPad all the time and that messed up his frustration tolerance. Ok. You might have a closer inside to how he is parented. When you see someone outside with a kid on an iPad you cannot know these things about them. Whatever it looks like to you, you're judging strangers based on a one point observation.

I know this sounds very "duh" but I had an epiphany when I realized that the reason I hated advice and tips for parenting was that I didn't see my kid as a child, I saw her as a person. And just like I would be offended if my partner took some rando's advice on "women" to deal with me, I get subconsciously defensive when my daughter is treated like a kid that comes with a handbook. There are 5 ticks for this behavior in this age and one of them will work. Fuck that. It doesn't and it doesn't need to and it shouldn't be expected to. She's an individual, there is no manual for that.

She's turning 4 soon btw - and I love her to bits with her chaotic insanity. I feel as if it's not like she doesn't fit into a box or likes to think outside the box - she just dismantles the box, it is non-existent to her. She is actually very social, popular and follows rules well in kindergarten. Despite her answer to that theory of mind question about where the doll is being "there's multiple dolls" which spins into a Lynchian tale about parallel dolls

I mean, the dick punch was really unnecessary but I am glad that other families experience... Weirdness, I guess. And exclusion of a parent.

I can't count how often I read and heard the advice to "just present your kid with two options to choose from".

My kid, even before she became verbal, always wanted option C when presented with two options.

"Do you want this hat or this cap?" "Neither"

"Do you want this blue pants or these red sweatpants?" "I want... a green... dress" we don't even have a green dress.

"Shall we go to the zoo today or do you want to go to the playground with Anna?" "I want to go on the trampoline" .

In defense of the restaurant (because I used to go there a lot) they also have a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. They do serve Bavarian classics and that's their main focus, but there are always some "modern"/"alternative" dishes.

It's in the airport. Actually, Airbräu is the only brewery that is located in an airport as far as I know. It has also weirdly cheap (and very tasty) beer for being both in "Munich" and in an airport .

You're at Airbräu! I love it!

Oh God I didn't even notice that, you're absolutely right. Or, dare I say, you are correct.
