like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

fatherverse @midwest.social jubilationtcornpone @sh.itjust.works Superpowers
An actual conversation with my two year old:
Her: "Daddy, I have super powers!"
Me: "Really? What kind of super powers do you have?"
Her: "I can stop planes and save them."
Me: "Oh, cool!"
Her: "You have super powers too!"
Me: "I do? What's my super power?"
Her: Giggling "You're old."
Me: "Uh... My super power is that I'm old?"
Her: "Yes! You're old. That's your super power."
Now I really want to have a chat with whoever is qualifying and delegating super powers because this seems very unfair.

fatherverse @midwest.social CrimeDad @lemmy.crimedad.work Which martial art?
I'm considering signing my six year old up for martial arts class, but I'm not sure which one to choose. To be clear, it's not because we're dealing with a bullying situation or anything like that. It's more about starting a new physical activity, but I do want my kid to get some self-defense skills out of it. Our local options appear to be Taekwondo, Kung-fu, and Jiu-Jitsu/MMA. I did Taekwondo when I was a kid and it was fine, but I'm not sure that it's practical for self defense. Jiu-Jitsu/MMA seems very practical for self-defense, but the studios that offer it seem a little bit too blue-lives-matter for my liking. As for Kung-fu, I just know nothing about it.
How did you decide on a martial art for your kids?

In space, no one can hear you scream...
...when you step on a Lego brick. 🙃
I like this set that my kid just finished because the alien creatures look very alien. They're these little jellyfish dudes that emerge from flowers.

For those who don't have access to TikTok, the Ms. Rachel account shared a video of some Gazan children in a tent, sitting on the ground watching a Ms. Rachel video on a tablet. God bless her.

fatherverse @midwest.social FiveMacs @lemmy.ca Please help me with myself.
I've stopped caring. I need help. I'm going to go on a weird rant here, but it's how I talk when I'm super focused on something..like getting help. I'm going to try to cover as many faucets that I feel are broken as I can, so it's going to be long. I'm sorry.
I don't know when, but it's been a LONG time and it's affected my physically, mentally, emotionally. I know I have depression, I know I need to want to change. I know most of the psychiatrist things, well not true but I have a hard time siding with or following through with the..I don't know how to say it but like the feel good therapist talk? Follow this color wheel of emotion stuff kinda stuff..or write out your emotions in this diary.
I'm isolated, lonley, disconnected from everything, not eating, not drinking enough, vices are at an all time high, hygiene is non existent, house upkeep is basically non-existent, physical activity revolves around walking to the kitchen, basement/upstairs, to my office, and to bed where I spe

fatherverse @midwest.social jubilationtcornpone @sh.itjust.works Christmas Tradition
We have a rather unique Christmas tradition in our family. Some people like to get those gingerbread house kits and decorate them. We like to decorate them and then turn them into a cookie catastrophe. We call them "gingerbread crime scenes" but they're really more along the lines of Shrek meets Apocalypse Now.
It's something we started doing when our oldest child was probably 10 years old so she wouldn't feel bad about accidentally wrecking her gingerbread house. It just became an annual tradition after that and we have a lot of fun doing it. They actually seem to get more creative every year.
This years episode is "Gummy Bears vs. Peanut Butter Perps" (the 'ginger bread men' are actually peanut butter cookies).

fatherverse @midwest.social owenfromcanada @lemmy.world Hero Elementary is a PBS kids' show about elementary school students with superpowers.
But the most unrealistic thing on the show is the 1-to-4 teacher/student ratio.

lemmy.dbzer0.com What Are Some Good Books to Teach a Two Year Old How to Care for a New Dog? - Divisions by zeroTitle. We’re planning to get the kiddo a puppy for Christmas and while reading Sterling, the Best Fork Dog Ever it occurred to me that I could blend in bits of wisdom about caring for a dog (no, puppies do NOT go in the dishwasher). Are there any other Pre-K level books that could be a fun bed time ...
