      @DougNg:

      I've been trying to get my granddaughter to like the cartoons I liked growing up. It started with Ducktales and now it's Animaniacs (interestingly enough, they've both been recently rebooted).

      I didn't realize how annoying Animaniacs was until now…I need to apologize to my parents.

      Also: GI Joe. Anybody ever watch this as an adult and wonder if you were retarded as a child?

      I'm kinda lucky in that my boy likes a lot of the stuff I introduce him to. Yes, he does like some of the cheese like Dinosaur Train, Caillou and the like but he also likes Transformers, Teen Titans Go, Spongebob, Gatchaman (Japanese cartoon), Voltron and all the other typical fare that 5 year olds like.

      @Matty123 your daughter will soon outgrow the Teletubbies and move onto something else. When my son was 2-3 we watched a steady stream of Barney, Sesame Street, Odd Squad and whatever else was on PBS, but the local library yielded a bigger variety of stuff, so I could pick and choose what my son watched.

      thanks @gaseousclay we just visited the local library with her for hte first time last night. thanks for the info. i dont mind sesame street at all really. i know shell outgrow teletubbies… and then ill be sad that shes outgrown it cuz thatll mean shes getting older. she breaks my heart everyday  😢 🙂

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        The library has been an indispensable resource for books/cartoons for my son as well as dvd's for myself. I go there weekly and it's always fun. Of course, every library is different and some do not have child friendly amenities, like a play area, but it's never a wasted trip.

        I know it's a cliche but kids grow up fast and you learn to appreciate seeing them mature. Changing poopy diapers and cleaning up vomit was an experience i'll never forget, but I don't exactly want to go through it again  😃 Nowadays it's all about teaching my boy about being self-reliant and learning how to do things for himself. It's challenging but still a good experience.

          tl; dr: shipped out Feb 09. It's being sent BACK to me one month later. Never even left the country. I refunded the buyer yesterday, and now have to shell out another 32€ to ship it IF the buyer still wants the item…

                    ^ I sold a shirt to someone in Costa Rica on Grailed about a year ago that never made it.  The extent of the tracking had the parcel leaving Los Angeles.  About 6 weeks later it showed back up on my door step.  I imagine if there was any tracking after leaving Los Angeles it would have looked like Seul's disaster above.

                    Rant of the day:

                    Q:  What are (Insert Jean Brand)'s recommended washing instructions?
                    A:  The same as every other brands!  Don't overthink it.  You're washing jeans not trying to brew the perfect cup of coffee.  Temperature doesn't have to be exact.

It made it to Germany without customs, was on the rout to my postbox, never got delivered but instantly returned to the US and has been missing now for two weeks.

                                    Yeah this is kind of crazy.

                                    I would love to know what happened between February 16 and February 26.  @Max Power Will let you know once the hoodie gets back to me and we can figure out the route you want to take. I have a formal request/complaint in with the USPS since this was sent by a traceable and insured method.

                                    This is why I tend to send a bunch of messages checking on if an item has/has not been delivered when I sell/trade items.

                                    Sorry for the inconvenience on this and feel free to message me any questions, concerns or gripes.

                                        Chiming in to seuls shipping Desaster - here's mine. Finally found the green hoodie in madmondays sale. It made it to Germany without customs, was on the rout to my postbox, never got delivered but instantly returned to the US and has been missing now for two weeks.

                                        looks like that the delivery guy "forgot" (replace it with too lazy, stupid, etc) to notify you and after the 7 days of max storage at the PO waiting for pick up, it got returned to the sender…

                                        sucks

                                          Picked my boy up from daycare yesterday and found out one of his classmates punched him in the face. The rule at daycare is that when such an incident occurs they don't name the offending child. Kinda pointless since my son will tell me who the child is  ???. Overall my son dealt with it maturely, even though it left him feeling bummed out that it happened. I should start calling his daycare The Thunderdome.

                                            i'm curious to know what you guys would do as parents.

                                            my son started kindy this year and not being from a 'perfect family' (where mom and dad are still together) sometimes i feel he might get bullied by the other kids who of course do not know better.

                                            on one hand, you could teach them to be mature about such incidents. but on the other, as a boy, you'd want him to be able to defend himself physically as well. it might seem much for 5yos but such things do tend to happen even in kindy level.
