My son & I have a "safe word" for when one of us is being impulsive. Too many times, I'll suddenly change the plans, or he'll ask to do something super random in the middle of something else. It used to cause confusion and frustration. Now we just say: BLUE WATERMELON! 1/8🧵

Let’s keep removing kids from their parents; their core attachments; their core cultural connections and wonder why they become full of self loathing-struggle with a strong sense of self. Literally feel like they’ve got nothing to lose. Systems won’t hug you. They won’t care if you’re sad. They won’t care if you get your heart broken. Then when you have kids of your own who teaches you how to parent them? Where are your supports to guide you through every parent’s normal struggles when you become a parent. When you feel inadequate? When you stuff things up? Well those attachments have been destroyed. The only thing left is to reach out to the system. The system that removed you. Significant odds are that they will respond by removing your child-to reinforce your deficits-not supporting you to remain together. So what’s left? The cycle continues

This is my favorite dad advice. And it's one of the things I remind myself of every day: One day your kids will ask you to play for the very last time. And the more often you say "not right now," or "I'm too busy..." The sooner that day will come. pic.twitter.com/BwBcGDdU8T

“Wait until they get older and don’t want to hang out with you.” “After they graduate, you won’t see them.” “You only have 18 summers.” It doesn’t have to be that way. My daughter is 22. She text me late last night. “Dad, you still awake?” I was awake, so I said yes. 2 hours later we finally got off the phone. She just wanted to talk to her dad. Foster the bonds now, and they’ll last a lifetime. It grows and evolves, but it doesn’t have to stop.

Why do we think we know what's right for kids just because we are older and bigger than them? pic.twitter.com/zWUnwKPooH

Hey quick question, everyone else’s toddlers are absolutely feral too, right? Like sweet and wonderful and smart and cute, for sure. But also unhinged… like refusing meals, living off $200 of berries/week and crackers they found on the floor and yelling 22 hours a day, right?

We’d been practicing weeks leading up to the season opener. We’re in great spirits and on game day, he’s sleepy 😂 We have to make sure our sons stick to the commitments they make. No matter how they feel. This teaches keeping your word, early. Responsibilities, as a man, have to be taken care of, regardless of your feelings. He asks me to play, because he loves it. I didn’t allow him to back out and he ended up being extremely happy in the end. Ended up having a fantastic game.

Parenting trick: When you have your kid's friend with you and you want them both to do x, tell the friend to do x. As a guest, the friend has to be good. And once the friend starts doing x, your kid has to as well.

My little parenting anecdote that I have experienced over my short 20 months of being a parent is they will literally do things when they are ready and no sooner. Independent sleep, weaning, etc. And we make ourselves miserable by trying to force them to meet specific timelines

A big part of inner child healing is being able to do all the things you wanted to do as child, but couldn’t afford or were able to. So many adults are diving into hobbies and passions that they didn’t have a chance to do in their childhood and it’s the most beautiful thing.

My daughter is 7 and had a slumber party last night. We do not have phones or iPads. Just computer games allowed for a set time a week. The friend had a phone and played Roblox the whole time. Didn’t want to play dress up, school, anything make believe, etc. 1) Should I enforce the same rules in my house? 2) it’s so sad that kids are so addicted they can’t play pretend anymore. My friends and I would make up elaborate plays, talk shows, dances and more. I attribute so much of my creativity to this. Screen time social pressure for kids is so real.

There is no such thing as too many children. Children are a blessing from God to parents. They create and preserve society in your likeness. You should be asking God to bless you with as many as possible. Anyone who says "more kids = bad" is an agent of the devil.

You really can’t make any slip ups as a parent. Human development is crazy like you can tell your kid “your art looks stupid” and 20 years later they have to dress like a German Shepard during sex
