>>297506This is retarded.
First: how are you gonna get daughter specifically, designer baby?
Second: I can already tell you're autist, you're not going to raise no kid.
Thirdly: I don't believe a person who reads lolcow can raise a child, and I hate seeing threads like this on the site.
Lastly: this gives me Chris Chan level of creepiness with his "daughter" crystal.

Why is there calligraphy and horse riding on this list, but nothing like how to wash your face and hands? Hand hygiene is way more important for children than learning how to play with fountain pens.

I want to get my future kids Bucc-ees merchandise. When you don't live in a Southern state this beaver feels more exotic than anything from Sanrio.

Thoughts on this orangutan as my daughter's primary childhood stuffed animal?
No. 312039
Nigel and I have been rewatching media we enjoy and deciding on if we'd show this to our children and at what point in time we think they'd really soak this in and when it would be appropriate, like games with gore in them. It's so nice to have someone to be on the same page with. I thought I thought about what I'd show my future children was excessive but I'm happy that's how a lot of us are when enjoying things, with children in mind.
I'm going to show my children my favorite bands, like my parents did to me. I grew up LOVING Depeche Mode because my parents bonded over their music. Nigel and I pretty much did the same the other weekend, singing the lyrics while out shopping and listening to songs on repeat in the car.
I have an abundance of stuffed animals, pretty rare ones as well, that I am glad to share with my children. Like, all the stuff I own, especially the stuff intended for children, I don't want to gatekeep them from my children. Partially because I didn't get to have much of a childhood and want to ensure my child is able to enjoy actual toys and neat gadgets meant for play.
I think I have baby fever pretty intense right now. I have list of movies, games, toys, clothes, and books I want to have in our household for when the time comes and we're ready to be parents.
I want my child to know about Digimon. I want to show them how to draw. I want to show them awesome and simple recipes they could learn to do themselves. I want to go out to trails with them to see nature.
Nigel's only worry is that our child grows up to become a "Twitter leftist" lmao but I assured him it usually comes from neglect from parents who likely had a child by accident, which we will not be doing. I also hope our cats don't get jealous when baby comes.

>>312481They're pretty rare, but he's ended up with a few they/them coworkers who look like the stereotypical Aiden. We live in a large city, so the type is more concentrated in the field of work he does. I also have a sister who's a Twitter leftist so it's a little too familiar for me as well.
However, this is something he's only mentioned twice in passing when we nerded out over the games we're into.

Wife is expecting a daughter, sorry for king sperg
I’d like to get my daughter a lot of dolls, to grow her imagination. I have so many fond memories of playing dolls with my mom, and coming up with stories together.
But ofc, if she doesn’t want dolls or feminine things, nothing wrong with buying her boy things. I’m gnc and enjoyed boys stuff a lot as a kid too. I’d teach her that it’s okay to like masculine things as a girl, and it doesn’t change anything about her identity.
I’ll warn her about the dangers of men, in age appropriate increments. Probably 0-4 it’ll just be stuff like “stranger danger” and once she’s old enough to comprehend deeper issues, I’ll teach her about those with honesty. I won’t lie to her, but I also won’t ruin her childhood with brutal description.
I’m torn on internet, because I had restricted internet as a tween and it socially stunted me and made me a target of bullying because I didn’t understand anything. I won’t treat phones and tablets like sacred treasures, because that’s how kids get addicted, they see the electronics as a forbidden fruit and cling to it for dear life. It’ll just be a regular part of her life, as regular as TV. But with obvious parental controls until she’s mature enough to understand the internet and social medias impact.
I’ll likely have uncomfortable conversations at some points, and I hope she will be trusting enough to come to me for said difficult topics. I want her to feel safe confiding in me. I don’t want her to do something bad and think “my moms gonna kill me,” I want to be someone she can turn to for help. I’ll be honest, even when it’s easier to shelter her and lie.

>>447274>Any advice on what you would tell a ten year old for her to understand that she is just a kid, and that fact isnt meant to dehumanize or belittle her but literally to protect her?I'm not a parent, but I remember being that age and feeling so very adult because it was the oldest I'd ever been. I don't think that you can make kids this age understand the value of youth and innocence before they have adulthood to compare it to, and any attempt is going to come off as insulting and alienating. The entire project of life from about this age straight on through the end of adolescence is becoming an adult, and being babied makes you feel like your parents are denying your humanity. What you can do is encourage her personal growth and foster her existing interests in a healthy way by offering age-appropriate things that she still finds value in. What I like about your approach to the skincare conversation is that you didn't say anything about age or maturity, you simply logically explained that it wouldn't help her, and she understood that. Similarly, if she's into musicals, saying "you don't understand this like I understand this, stop caring about heathers the musical" won't protect her in any way. But what you're learning about her is that she likes music and drama and comedy. It might be a good time to get her to pick up a musical instrument or join choir, maybe even watch musical tv shows or movies with her, or take her to see Cats? Watch a Shakespeare film adaptation with her? and encourage her to develop interests in a way that keeps her stimulated.
That said, the best thing you can do to keep a teen girl safe is to educate her, teach her good values, and be a parent she can trust. Hiding information about the world won't keep her safe in the same way that having frank conversations about reality, risk, safety, and navigating the world in a smart way will.

>>447406I wanted to add to this, to elaborate on educating her and teaching her good values. I think there's more value in watching something like, to use a super risque example, Moulin Rouge, and then explaining to her that the movie industry is controlled by men, and the perspective you see in movies like this is very skewed and glamorizes prostitution, and she'll see lots of propaganda like this in her life but she should know that prostitution is damaging to women, than there is in simply forbidding her from ever watching the movie and hoping she never encounters media like this at all and you never have to have these hard conversations. Treat her like she's smart and makes good choices with the right information. I would have used Heathers the musical as an example but I have only seen the movie kek. I guess you could tell her not to shoot up her school or solve problems with murder? Or maybe you could have a conversation with her and ask her what she thinks the moral of the musical is, why the show appeals to her, what ideas this gives her about how to navigate high school friendships and relationships, etc.
