A few weeks ago I had to drive my daughter to the in-laws, so she can attend the children’s carnival there, together with her brother.
I drove there to drop them off, drove back home and returned a few hours later to pick the kids up when it looked like this all the time. No biggie.
So seeing the drama in the UK just leaves me shaking my head in irritation. One would think that a nation that is famous for its sub optimal weather is not so easily set in panic by a few snowflakes.

Snowpocalypse, Day 4:
-Work is cancelled again…..
-Boiler won't ignite... I suspect the condensate pipe frozen over... Sounds like an easy fix, but I live on the 3rd floor. Calling the landlord soon if further trouble shooting doesn't yield positive results
-My supervisor contacted me to let me know that I should be charging vacation hours for these forced days off… Drafting an email to corporate now.

To be fair, i'm far more sympathetic to places that don't regularly see this kind of weather as they're not equipped to handle it. When I was in college I did a 'study abroad' program in northern Japan on the Sea of Japan side. We got pounded by so much snow that it was waist high in some areas. My mom lives on the Pacific side of northern Japan and they don't get as much snow, although it does get frigid. Here in Minnesota we just got over a foot of snow in 48 hrs. Parking sucked but the snow plows were out in full force and now everything is fine.

no idea how this came off. hell bummed out. thankfully i found the rivet in the pocket the lighter is kept in and not lost somewhere else…

More like a whimpering complaint but here we go.
My daughter now prefers teletubbies to Sesame Street. I do not. I have a sneaking suspicion that teletubbies is a British invention.

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 have a nine month old at the moment and I dread the day she starts being interested/we start allowing her to watch cartoons. Cruel and unusual punishment.

Caillou should be banned under the Geneva Convention.

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.

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.
