@CartoonsHateHer Parents just need to be better with sitting with this discomfort. Like your kid wants the toy, the other has it, it is okay for your kid to want it and other to decide how to react. Let everyone do their thing to the extent it does not involve a physical altercation.

Like yes my kid was being a jerk but he’s 5! What was I supposed to do, scream at him? Lol. I physically restrained him but tbh he’s pretty big and I couldn’t scoop him up lol. Is it that shocking for a toddler to witness…..a tantrum

Ok, I was at the park with my 5 year old. I was holding a communal toy for him that he wanted to play with after he was done w/slide. A mom comes over with a screaming toddler and says “she’s screaming bc she wants the toy, can she have it?” I’m like yeah okay (cont)

@AwSamWeston The rule is that party officials have to support the endorsed candidates. It does not apply to elected officials.

@WalterHudson You are a state representative. Are you unaware that there is a state government data practices act? The State and governments have all kinds of private data they can't just hand out.

How can the data be private if the state has it? Under what premise is it appropriate for the state to have data, but inappropriate for the DOJ to have it? This makes no sense. There's no benign or innocent explanation for this lack of cooperation.
Steve Simon@MNSteveSimon

The federal government has provided no legal justification for capturing private data on millions of Minnesotans - and we have no idea whatsoever how this personal information would be used.

heard some moms chatting about mother's day today at preschool pick up and there were a couple common themes: 1. MIL being the one who decides how the day is spent 2. Said moms of preschoolers being expected to have gotten a gift and card for MIL. happy mother's day 🫠

@CartoonsHateHer I thought I was going to be a Big Little Feelings parent until my child turned 20 months old and the defiance started. I also experienced gentle parenting at the playground, and did not like how it was executed in relation to other kids. So I changed course.

For an article: are there any parents who (especially in the past 5 years) fell into permissive parenting, especially if you were influenced by content you saw online? Comment here with your story to be featured (or I can DM you)

@jpkolb I don't think it is anyone's job to actively resist. But would you be okay with GSA saying to hell with the statutes they are supposed to follow and picking Elon Musk's favorite vendor for lucrative gov contracts?

If work in the executive branch of the government but you don’t want to do what the President says then you need to quit, not “resist” or whatever. Nobody elected you. Your options are comply or quit. It’s really simple.

I’m honestly surprised I’m only just now hearing about this fire—Howard Lake is just down the road from me. It’s shocking how little coverage this has received.

Nothing to see here—just the second time in three years a major egg producer had their facility go up in flames. Forsman Farms, which produces 6 million eggs per day, lost 100,000 hens in the fire.

@hillbillythings They have been trying to raise funds for a splash pad for like a decade. In my city—there is a splash pad or public pool within walking distances of most people’s homes. And I don’t have to go spend money to enjoy so much of what’s free in our city.

@hillbillythings I live in a city and there are all kinds of kid-centric things to do. The Institute of Art and the Swedish Institute have areas designed for children. My rural hometown—a post went viral complaining about having to pay parks for kids got a ridiculous amounts of likes.

@emilykmay I think it is rude when people buy you a different brand/kind of something you request, but it's really not the end of the world to get something off registry. I really like giving a little extra something that helped me as a new mom. I appreciated those gifts from others too.

"you don't get to DICTATE what kind of gift i have decided is best for you at your baby shower. i know you have come up with a list you spent a lot of time researching, but i actually know better. and do not be mad about it, that is ungrateful."

@RLaker84 @crazyreesie @mom_of_littles I don’t think they’re saying “if you’re coming, bring me these” it’s more “if you’re getting a gift, please get these”. I wish registries would site multiple places you can buy them from instead of just one.

I would never put that on the invite but I feel like it’s common courtesy to buy from the registry. People know what they need. We registered for a small swing due to lack of space and someone bought us a giant swing *after* they looked at our registry bc they liked it better.

@crazyreesie @mom_of_littles I think merely listing the registry is enough. The "please purchase" part is taking it too far. It used to be that it was rude to even list it, which is dumb as it is helpful to both parties. But gifting is not just about the receiver. A lot of recipients forget that.

@z3r0_burn @jpkolb It is the "For You" section which is a mix of ppl you follow and the X algorithm. And it used to be interesting and I would see new accounts with different perspectives. I definitely am not following trad wives and have muted hoping to shift my algorithm.

@RLaker84 @jpkolb If you don't follow them, you don't see them. So... Stop following them or admit you like following them.

We have come a long way from when David and I, or Mike and I, could use this platform to exchange ideas. I was better for being exposed to their thoughts, especially when I disagreed with them. I’m still here. They are gone. I think we are worse off when we go to our own corners.

@clhubes So many of these kid food influencers are sharing their disordered relationship w/food, w/bunch of overly anxious parents. I stopped following so many of them, specifically this one when she got all sanctimonious about not buying her kid ice cream after a tough sports loss.

@isaiah_bb How old? We try to offer at least one thing we know our toddler will eat. We get playful in encouraging her to try things. We do not force her to eat. She decides what she eats, from what is offered. We keep on offering even if she told us it was yucky a different time.

I know it’s completely normal, but I’m really starting to pull my hair out re: my daughter’s picky eating. Anyone have anything that worked for them?

@VGrubsky @BenK_Data Apparently many people on Ozempic lose their taste for junk food and crave healthier foods. And when people lose weight it is easier to do physical activity. Seems to help people take care of their bodies better.

@BenK_Data The issue is: even if this drug doesn't have side effects (highly unlikely), it becomes a band-aid covering up the symptoms of unhealthy lifestyle. So instead of taking care of their bodies, people get hooked on drugs to make them look healthy. But it's good for business. 🫤

I'm amazed at the jealousy and anger this is causing so many. Not talking specifically about Ben here, simply in general. A lot of people seem to be wishing Ozempic fails. It seems to be perceived as a moral falling not to get healthy 'the right way' or the hard way.
Ben Eisenhart@BEisenhart

Ozempic is out of control. The amount of people who I know that are like half the size they were 6 months ago is blowing my mind. I hope we don’t learn of some bad side effects down the road.
