Why do some parents create social media accounts for their children? Seems unnecessary and a bit weird and creepy. What if when you grow up you suddenly learned that your parents already had an account that they created for you?

Super creepy. Agreed—children should have the right to privacy. Our parents took a ton of pictures of us but they were kept in photo albums, not shared all over social media. When my sister had a baby she requested that we ask permission before posting a picture of her newborn. At first I was like wtf?? That’s insane. But I totally get it now.. the world is an effed up place and there is no need to plaster your kids picture without their consent on social media

I have kids and agree with SA1

My opinion of social media is that it’s a pox. I respect other’s right to have a different opinion and use it, but I would be pissed if I found out someone created an account in my name and put my photos out there, hence it’s perfectly logical not to want to do that to your kid or to want to review what is posted if your kid.

There are also a lot of absolute creeps and psychopaths out there. Maybe not high volume but they are enabled to technology.

Couldn’t they (parents) just use their own account to keep in touch with famiy/friends? I don’t see the need for kids, sometimes even infants or toddlers to have their “own” account.

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

This is one of my favorite couples from the show. While Steven was quite immature during the show, it seemed like he was just young and wanted to be a good dad. They've been together as a family for a while now, he has taken up yoga to manage his temper issues, she has a career on the side as a photographer and they seem happy. I hope their social media is a true representation of their lives and I hope they are truly happy together with their little son 😊

First time Dad and my 15 month old keeps running up the stairs at my in-laws place and they keep encouraging it. Stairs are almost 10 inches high with nothing underneath and I’m worried that he might slip and fall in between the stairs. My FIL is a bit of a know-it-all and keeps insisting it’s safe and I don’t agree. What do I do? Don’t want to fight the entire house full of people about this and kid enjoys it too much and cries a lot if I/we prevent him from climbing
