Nowt more dangerous than Florida Man.

I suppose a solution is to move them out to more modest accommodation and get them to complete timesheets for their work. They will receive a fair wage for their duties, say £15 p/h, but they get their accommodation for free. This means the properties can be used as function rooms, visitor...

Hmmm, the problem runs very deep. Apparantly, women need to take responsibility from, well, a homeopath. Maybe women should open their legs to any old scumbag because it is their role in life :(

Only God will know that... This thing I watched is gratuitously violent, including kids getting butchered, and filmed in 3dgel0rd desaturated, high contrast kind of filter. Imagine a GCSE photography project by a smelly kid who thinks Manowar are cool. Lots of slow motion shots of vikings...

Pathfinder on Disney+. Possibly the worst film I have watched for a while. Well, I have 20 or so minutes left and I should've done something else. Like, gone for a poo I don't need or done the dishes. Damn, it's bad.

Adopted boy, 3½ years old, has been with us for six months now and is pretty awesome. His mum had to video call me while I was in work as he was having a little tantrum as he could not see his poo. I had to pause my class, who were very understanding, and draw a poo on a wipe board and show how...

Cheers! It was good for them and him. He was a little cagey at first, but he warmed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend adoption and although it can be a little intrusive, it is necessarily so due to what could go wrong and the damage it can cause. Spending the first Christmas with a child is...

Managed to wean our 3y 4 month old off dummies by suggesting he donated them to babies in exchange for Santa bringing him Christmas presents. Appears to have gone without a hitch. He is pretty adorable and, apart from a few small issues, has settled in to his new family really well. To...

Think whiney little boys complaining that they feel a little hard done by because some throbber wasn't shown on TV and you're not far off the mark.

Cheers and, yes, totally about the child. I cannot see a meeting with the BP(s) in the foreseeable future as, well, it'd be very difficult. However, we hope to when they are in an appropriate position. You sound like you're doing great, though, which is awesome!

Just had a video LAC review with our new addition. They are very happy with his progress and they could see his speech was much better with a wider vocab, clearer speech and great engagement with my wife and me. So happy, in fact, that the next scheduled meeting is next year He is physically...

Pretty much this and the food analogy is great. It is an experience and great for 'date nights'.

Oh, he knows what he is doing alright :p From his point of view: "You little buggers have uprooted me from a secure household where I could watch Paw Patrol all day. I didn't ask for this and you have basically abducted me. Now that I'm here, you're going to have to earn the right to have me...

I get the impression he is scared of making noise, which is alarming for a three year old :( Our child sleeps extremely well, which is good, and very rarely wakes up. I burn him out when I meet him, one time clocking up 18k adult steps in a day. However, he leads activities and I don't drag...

Teaching your kids to cross the road? I get our three year old to wait while I build a bridge and when it is complete, it is safe. He must tell me if there are no cars coming in case the bridge breaks. When he first arrived, he had no road sense but now stops at every road and waits :p...

Yes, but he is testing how we react to behaviours. It sometimes works, but he is wising up to it now. If he just wants to be awkward, he will be, regardless. It's not that he wants or does not want to do something, it is almost irrelevant, he just wants a reaction. It is normal behaviour to see...

"Dick" was in jest, I had hoped it was pretty obvious but I guess not. Maybe I have to spell it out better. It sums up his boundary testing behaviour better than a string of terms which include shouting, hair pulling and contrariness. As for his friend - it is relevant in an area which is...

Yeah, which is why I'm happy he's like that. It means he is comfortable, despite being in foster for 2 years prior and being with lots of kids. I've had to justify going to work, as for the first four weeks I was WFH or on leave. I now say that when I go to work I get "adventure tickets" so we...

Nine weeks into adopting our three year old and he is starting to find his voice, which is nice. I primarily look after him on weekends and evening, due to work, and last Sunday he started being somewhat obnoxious. Oppositional, awkward and generally unpleasant. I had taken him and his friend...

Reddit has some excellent material if you look in the right places and, unlike some other forums, it actually has people who know what they're talking about. :p The askhistorians and ELI5 can be great. As for the politics, there is still a broad scope of persuasions present, even after the...
