Official NT dad thread: can the dads get love

nah. I would’ve killed him. But that’s clearly the norm because the little girl wasn’t tripping at all lol
I do this with both my 4 year old daughter and 3 year old son lol my son always wants to go higher, my wife and mom both be tripping though.
 
any of you parents have kids that love lego? why the 🤬 is that 🤬 so expensive 😂
we have a decent amount of regular lego pieces for the kids to make their own designs but my son loves building the sets - especially star wars. last night we went to the lego store and my son got this one. my wife is explaining that it cost one hour of her salary to buy that thing. the look on my son’s face was like....only one hour? that’s nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Brought home our daughter on Saturday. My toddler son was cool with her for the first day but now doesn’t really want anything to do with her. I been making sure to spend a lot of time with him and give him my undivided attention, wife too. Any other tips, or just time?

Yeah just time bro. My two youngest are separated by 2 years but, they are inseparable at their current age (3 and 5).

Congrats brother!

I’m hoping these two will be too. It can be heartbreaking right now to see him sad and upset, since he’s been our world for 3 years almost now. Just trying to let him know it’s ok and that we still love him.

I think time and make him feel like he is helping. Like hey can you be a great big brother and read to your sister or help me change her diaper.

We just had another boy and we started their relationship (with my 3 year old) by giving our older son a gift from the baby. We also allowed him to pick out a gift he wanted to give his little brother. And everything we do for the baby we ask our son to help so he always feels included and important to the baby. So far he adores him.
 
Anyone have any suggestions on cartoons with a "decent" message (no blonde haired blue eyed princesses pls) for my girls? They are 5, 4 and 3. I don't make them watch any tv. I rather they play together, read, draw stuff like that. I just let them watch cartoons when we do their hair on Sunday. They are getting sick of Moana and some sesame street episodes are iffy for my taste. Just asking for suggestions. Thx

Agreed. Everytime we brought a new baby home we made the toddlers feel like part of the team. "Bring me a diaper please, can you put her socks on? " We implicated the older sisters so much I blame them for spoiling my youngest. Also, this is a process we start while mommy has the baby in her belly. We are all in this together.

Was looking for some rain jackets for the girls. Passed by a sample sale this morning didn't think I'd find them there but gave it a shot. Come to find out all they had there was rain coats haha. $40 each. The small one for my soon to come baby girl (end of June) was 20$. If you're in Montreal QC the sale is on till Sunday. Google premium retail group.
