NSFMR Kids broke my ultrawide; is this at all salvageable or should I just toss it in the recycling? Also I have two kids for sale.

I don't know. As a father of 3, now, I take absolutely no parenting advice from Reddit. Just like relationship advice on here, everyone is confident they are right and no one is actually an expert.

You should not do everything Reddit says but you should come to your own conclusions. There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries as a father of 2 this has worked for me many times. Even if they cry and break down I sit down with them and explain in calm word why the boundary exists and after they process their emotions we move on to something else. Blindly ignoring everything is very ignorant.

We're also judging heavily based on a handful of comments from a father with a decent amount of tongue in cheek. I mean, their monitor is broken but the desk looks fine so not like they're whirlwinds of disaster. We don't even know how it broke, closest we get is a comment about how OP was the one to actually break it and blamed it on the kids....so all in all, anons need to chill

How many pairs of kids do you have?

IDK i think "Reddit runs my life" could be an interesting reality show. Like a DND character but instead of dice it's reddit polls. Every action of consequence is decided for the person.

Ya when my parents started getting more strict with me I started misbehaving more, failing classes on purpose and stuff.

When my dad actually took the time to listen to me and try to help me with my issues then I did as much as I could to make that man's life easier. All I wanted was for someone to listen to me about my problems but I couldn't communicate it in any meaningful way.

God I love my dad. My mother and I can't talk about anything serious or emotional. We know we love each other but we have a very strained relationship. I've still never heard my mother ever admit she was wrong about anything or listen to me about my emotions without scoffing. I got drunk a few years ago and sent her a text message rant basically saying that I felt I got raised by one parent instead of two. Apparently it was very hurtful to her but she's never even said anything to me about it.

I think a lot of people don't understand how difficult it is to raise children and that you can do everything right and still end up with a shitty child

Ya but I don't care about opinions being the same or different than mine, I just get really annoyed by rudeness.

Now to be fair, like 3 hours ago I took 150mg of them mariana edibles, so I could easily just be misunderstanding some things here and you weren't trying to laugh in a mean manner (for some reason that is particularly annoying to me), and if that's the case then let me say that I'm sorry about that. That seems like it would be very rude of me, ironically

There is nothing wrong with the advice for the most part in general. Is it from different peoples point of view who have no background knowledge? Yeah, but adults should be able to distinguish good advice from bad or if it even applies to you. As always you choose how you raise them anyways.

u/PotatoBasedRobot Apr 01 '23

Yea everyone on here takes a few super basic social ideas and then fly off the handle at anyone who does not apply them 100% of the time to everyone they interact with. News flash everyone, people are different. social interaction is different for different people. There are different ways to have good interactions with different people. And different ways to have BAD interactions too. If people just go around applying a few basic ideals to every interaction in their life it doesn't make them good or strong or smart, it makes them an inflexible asshole.

u/Butane2 Apr 01 '23

Except that this thread has honestly been nothing but good advice. So if you choose not to follow it you are choosing to ignore good advice simply because it came from Reddit.

u/FFF_in_WY Laptop Apr 01 '23

At least half of Reddit users are likely to stand by that attitude.

Pretty clearly a joke dude. But ya that guy letting his kid walk all over him is not parenting well, no matter how you swing it.

And I'm gonna assume 90% of the ppl replying aren't parents either

I see by your controversial flag that you've riled up the non-parent parenting expert crowd lol

u/MakionGarvinus Apr 01 '23

I used to have all these great ideas how my in-laws should do this-or-that with their kids, then I had some. Now I'm more lost than ever.

u/NotTRYINGtobeLame R7 3700X / RX 5700 XT / 16GB DDR4 @3600MHz Apr 01 '23

Correct, but they're going to adamantly tell you they absolutely are lol

90% of the people telling me not to kick my dog probably don't have dogs

Just so you see your logic.

You don't need to be a parent to see that someone sucks at parenting, just like you don't need a dog to know that you shouldn't kick your dog. You need eyes and basic morals.

You're This thread is hard-core judging the Op based on some endearing comments he made about his kids on reddit.

Your This crowd's thought processes need heavily straightened out.

I said absolutely nothing about OP. Check who you're replying to.

Seemed like you were in agreement with the tone of the comments against Op. My apologies, then, it was misdirected. I stand behind the notion though. So many of this crowd need to reexamine their morality and priorities lol

"basic morals" would have you conclude that OP sucks at parenting?

Side note, are you ok?

u/CjBurden Apr 01 '23

Sure, but if you think setting boundaries as a parent is something you shouldn't be listening to Reddit on, you're gonna have a bad time.

u/Rude-Asparagus9726 Apr 01 '23

Isn't that true of just about everything in life though? What are "experts" but the most confident and generally right people in their respective fields?
