I wasn’t on your side until you made the very good point of not raising men that think everything they do needs to be seen. I’m on board.

I used reverse psychology and it FIXED THAT QUICK! “Watch me open the fridge. Watch me clean the bathroom. Watch me open the milk”

As a Kinder teacher I can attest that it’s 100% a boy thing

"if I'm not impressed you're going to bed early" is my usual response 😂

True! He’ll be all “I did the dishwasher” to his wife. Ok? And?

This is why I boo my nephews. If not me then who?? It starts at home.

I also tell them when they are annoying.

As a peds therapist, YES. Stop feeding this cycle of kids small dopamine hits “watch me, watch me, look.” Connection seeking is normal and we can cognitively reframe our feedback to them. It’s exhausting.

"you can enjoy that without me" needs to be said so often around here

“Wasted my time with that one, bud” is a regular part of my vocabulary.

My then 2 year old was very insistent on getting a hug when he wanted one. I started saying "no" and enforcing it by standing up if I needed too. He now (a few years later) asks for hugs and takes "no" with grace. I will not raise a man who doesn't understand consent.

I regularly told my son, “yeah that’s not funny“ when he got into the joke telling stage. He’s a funny adult. I wasn’t just handing out gold stars willy-nilly.

Normalize teaching your kids they are valuable as humans, but they're not the most precious thing on the planet. Being a regular person is okay.

Yes as a Nanny I will totally tell a kid “no, adults don’t want to watch you play a game on your iPad” I can’t believe these parents sit and watch stupid I pad games with their kids.

Another thing, if the joke isn’t funny don’t laugh hysterically at it. My husband thinks his awful jokes are hilarious and I didn’t know why until I met his mom 👀

I often say, "honey mom doesnt love minecraft like you do. I dont need to watch you place every block. Its not fun for me. Build something neat and show me when youre finished."

saw someone else recently saying (and I agree) to normalize explaining to your kid "that was hilarious the first time! but the thing about humor is, it only has that punch the first time. people dont laugh at the exact same thing over and over and that's just the way it is!" it genuinely is a thing we have to learn

You’re so right because there’s a difference between building confidence and building ego.
