Yeah, little kids especially seems like a harder niche to cater to. Also probably a harder niche to make commit to a jump. It’s hard to bootstrap anything in this phase of life, but man, would I ever love to be part of something. We’re definitely keeping an ear out.

I love that! Yeah, travelling with baby was definitely easier.

@adamspitz.eth and I waffled so hard on going to Amsterdam. Being massively pregnant+toddler, it seemed like a bad call. What were other people doing with their kids? For similar things I’ve just stood in the back with the toddler, ready to bolt if she gets loud.

Man, I wish I had thought to put together a local viewing party for the Network State conference livestream! This is so cool. ❤️🏡

Exactly. I think we started with bedtime and nap start-time simultaneously. The rest seems to follow soon. And you can do that either before or after dst. When we’re crossing a bunch of time zones I’ll often push her at least halfway to the new time, then switch the rest when we arrive. Sunlight helps a ton.)

My first isn’t even 2 so I know nothing, but I’m home and we’re not doing school/daycare, so we don’t need to be up and ready to roll out. Given that, it’s been pretty chill. We’ve also changed her sleep to get ready for travel/time zones before, so we have a routine and I’m not scared *anymore*. :p

I’m looking forward to just being able to point at a couple of real babies and say, “look! Mommy made these. Also, they live here now.” I don’t know how much useful information we’ve actually managed to convey to this kid about how pregnancy works. This may be too abstract.

Lately we’ve been trying to get the toddler (20mos) to feel the twins kicking in my tummy. Instead, she’s started spontaneously coming up to me, reverently whispering “feel”, and placing a tiny hand squarely on my breast…

I wish our culture was better at honestly expressing our level of uncertainty, and being okay and encouraging of other people doing the same. Having widely-understood ways to say "based on what I know now, I think X, but this is a preliminary opinion and I am super-willing to adjust based on new arguments or evidence".

Growing up I got to sample public, private, homeschool, and unschool. It was a wild ride. Quality of instructors/distance from bureaucracy made ALL the difference for me. We’re looking into starting or joining a homeschool “pod” in our area. Just narrowing down our parameters then we’ll cast our net!

Heck yeah! Even if we don’t join, I’d love to be a part of that conversation! That sounds amazing.

It’s so tough some days. I’ve been getting good mileage out of the tidbit that little kids aren’t manipulative, we just vastly overestimate their emotional intelligence. They’re hyper-social blank slates who have no clue how to act in the group. My job is to be cool/model and teach through lots of repetition.

I’m SUPER into this stuff now, but my husband is 100% the one who got me into all of this in the first place. (I don’t even know how much this would have appealed if he weren’t my wingman.)

Oh man, count me in among women who are interested, but also already married with kids. A big part of what I’m interested in is finding somewhere great to raise my kids. Hubs and I are talking about trying to start our own groups online, and trying to find and filter people deliberately from our existing community.
