Nat Oleanderthey say a daily gratitude practice is good for you, so...I am grateful that my baby doesn't have teeth yet because if they did I would be missing at least one (1) nipple<a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parenting</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/gratitude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gratitude</a>

HenryKids have got it tough these days. In the past they only had to worry about being embarrassed by baby photos when family came to visit and the old photo albums came out. Now all it takes is an "on this day" notification to appear on my phone with a baby photo, and it's five minutes of "Oh loooook, weren't they the cutest little thing", completely without warning.That's going to be hard on them for the next twenty years.<a href="https://social.lol/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parenting</a>

Knee NeartKiddo just lost her first tooth (naturally - been missing her front top tooth since she was 2, to a rocking horse accident) and is asking about the tooth fairyI panicked. She doesn't believe in Santa, she knows that he's just a fun story and it's me buying stuff. I've never told her about the tooth fairy, but boom. She knows the whole scéal apparently. So Im just going with it. I guess we're doing the tooth fairy ritual. Until! Kiddo changes her mind. It's her tooth, actually. She doesnt want the tooth fairy getting it... Oh fuck! How does one prevent a tooth fairy from collecting teeth?*Anxiety*We've written a note declaring ownership and sealed the tooth in a ziplock bag. She doesn't think fairies are into plastic so hopefully it's safe, and the tooth is hidden behind the note, so should be all good. Trying to figure out how much energy I have to be creative with this. The Tooth Fairy wrote me a letter when I was a kid, explaining she found my tooth in the schoolyard and I still got my coin. It was beautiful; looping letters, each one a different colour...<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parenting</a>

earthlingOnly Dead on the Inside A Parent's Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse by James Breakwell, 2017There are plenty of guides out there about how to survive the zombie apocalypse.
