Ah, another fulfilling conversation with my child. #parenting

When four people, whose digestive systems are ominously in sync, have to share a single toilet as their sanitary facility, this probably ranks among the greatest logistical challenges of the modern era since the moon landing.

Took my son to lunch today for his birthday. Just the two of us. It's kind of a fraught situation considering the circumstances. We are caring for the wee one in our home while he and his ex-partner are currently only allowed supervised contact visits.

Something I do when reading to my kids that I hope helps a bit with all of the patriarchy in children's literature is to randomize the genders of the characters, including the occasional non-binary options and various neopronouns, and sometimes swapping mid-story (especially when there's a metamorphosis, like in "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"). There are so many things that are asymmetrically distributed between genders in books for babies and children, but if you randomize the genders, you can blunt that (I hope).

If you make a mosquito bucket, please cover the top with screening so that toddlers don't fall in. Per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 40 toddlers drown each year in the United States. Happens all over the world. Happens even when buckets are half full. #mosquitoes #buckets #health #safety #parenting #kids
