Remember - the pickpockets always work to distract their victims while they’re grabbing their wallet. Lesson in there with the current state of political banter, conspiracy, and anger. Government masterclass in the fine art of distraction.

Fair. Greed brings everyone to the altar, including me initially.

Is this the cycle that Bitcoiners will stop knob slobbing over every "BREAKING" Tom Lee and Cathy Wood price prediction? 🙏

They’re little humans just like you….they’re testing boundaries, seeing what they can get away with. Some are more stubborn than others…later in life obstinance can be a real gift. As far as discipline…consider that human behavior responds to a combo of the carrot and the stick. Set guidelines and communicate them. Good behavior gets the carrot, bad behavior the stick. Carrots at that age are more freedom, time to play, etc. The stick…not a physical stick but a real consequence. Could be a real meaningful timeout, loss of privileges/toys, pushups/laps if you’re coaching, etc can show that there are consequences to not following the rules of the game. Finally, be consistent with the rules, rewards and consequences with your spouse.

Awesome! Twice the reward! Best advice I can give for first 6 months, when you’re tested physically and emotionally is the old adage of “this too shall pass.” When at wits end, breathe and remind yourself of the above. The wins start stacking quickly once your child starts to smile and interact with you, but the first cpl months are a marathon.

👊 awsome thread. Feels like Dads have been away for a while…like a deployment or prolonged business trip…kids in society were left unsupervised and broke some shit…we’re back and time to fix what’s broken.

You and your spouse are a team. You’re either playing man or zone but never play against one another or those little fuckers will eat you alive! Every phase of childhood brings challenges and rewards as a parent. Breathe and learn to enjoy the messes and chaos because one day soon you’ll be looking at the back of their head as they leave the nest….and that’s not the time to try to right any regrets you hold.

Any young father’s need some middle aged parenting wisdom…I got your back. 19, 16 and 10….its been a wild ride.
