            As far as dressing them in clothes that are actually appropriate (forget about cool) that’s a battle lost before begun.

            Or as @goosehd mentioned keeping them in clothes at all

            We have ringcam footage saved of the police visiting our front door to make sure we knew our kids (4 at the time) were running around outside naked.

            No it's not a crime and cops were cool but they had to follow up with a visit since an overzealous fed ex delivery person called in a complaint.

              I’m glad we stopped with 1
              Clothes are always cheap ones as they grow out of them so quick I don’t see the point spending a significant amount on items

              Sneakers however I’ll happily spend $200 knowing in 6 months he will need another pair
              Think that bit stems from not being able to have when I was growing up

                Just made it through a spring break trip, including 2 8hr drives, without selling a single child to the circus

                  @GraemeE is that good or bad? If that was the purpose of the trip I’d be unhappy with the outcome

                    @Tago-Mago @GraemeE - in my experience that's a very romantic idea, but the buyers are just not there....

                        The buyers are most certainly there. Just depends on what kind of circus you’re willing to sell to.

                              It gets worse.

                              For real though guys, for the first time the other day I had this feeling like 11 and 13 is fun and I should be appreciating it a lot more. Everything up to this point was drudgery and I’ll block it out if I can. That is all.

                                        I dunno if yall do serious shit in here but

                                        We hadn’t had the death conversation with my four year old yet and my aunt took it upon herself to have it without our knowledge or consent, spontaneously, without any forethought or consideration. He flipped out after and later that night started screaming in a panic “we’re all gonna die.” We’ve had to do some major damage control and not only make a game plan for how we want to frame it but also unwind the shit she did. We’re on the other side of it now and we’re good, just wanted to share a couple things that helped immensely.

                                        1. get the book Lifetimes on Amazon. Super wholesome, comforting, but also straight up honest explanation of what it is

                                        2. I had a conversation with ChatGPT where I asked about quantum mechanics, quantum physics, simulation theory, basically the nature of reality as the leading minds in these theories understand it today, drilled down from that and asked, ok, if we take these things as truth, what does this mean for the nature of death and what could potentially happen to our consciousness after death. Then asked it to condense this down to a digestible form that a four year old could understand. Wild ride and super interesting read for grown ass adults but also super helpful for my kid.

                                        Sharing in case some of yall with younger kids might get some benefit from it. The link is weird so scroll to the top and start there

                                        https://chatgpt.com/share/681191ba-3680-8011-9114-c95a21c2dcbc

                                        And the book on Amazon

                                        https://a.co/d/4CFbD8c

                                          @chillmonroe I remember having the talk, didn't use chat GPT for help, but the circle of life or "the Tree" it uses in one of the examples was the main part of it. Very helpfull stuff.
