I told my mom that I don’t want to have kids and if I change my mind I’ll adopt and she said “it’s not the same” whatever that means. There are too many kids anyway I’m making a small contribution and I’d get to change the life of a kid anyway so why does it matter

Adoption should be more and more encouraged each day and people shouldn’t be so quick to judge those who don’t want to go through the process of getting pregnant and giving birth.

Careful. They get fussy when you question their intelligence. Or lack thereof.

The level of photoshop here tho….

The reading comprehension on this website is reaching all time lows.

Coraline is a masterfully made film, an amazing piece of art that i would never ever ever show to a child oh my god are you kidding me

Nothing wrong with a good dose of sheer terror at a young age

“It was a story, I learned when people began to read it, that children experienced as an adventure, but which gave adults nightmares. It’s the strangest book I’ve written”

-Neil Gaiman on Coraline

This is a legit psychology phenomenon tho like there’s a stop motion version of Alice and Wonderland that adults find viscerally horrifying, but children think is nbd. It’s like in that ‘toy story’ period of development kids are all kind of high key convinced that their stuffed animals lead secret lives when they’re not looking and that they’re sleeping on top of a child-eating monster every night so they see a movie like Coraline and are just like “Ah, yes. A validation of my normal everyday worldview. Same thing happened to me last Tuesday night. I told mommy and she just smiled and nodded.”

My little sister watched Alien Vs Predator at like four years old and thought it was great. She walked in and watched The Matrix at I think eight years old and she cried. Kids are weird.

The viscerally horrifying Alice in Wonderland is Jan Švankmajer’s “Něco z Alenky” where the white rabbit is a taxidermied animal who keeps losing his sawdust stuffing from his belly so he eats it to replenish and Alice is sometimes turned into a doll.

THERE. ARE. NO. “NANNY”. DOGS.

IT’S NOT A THING. Your dog is not a babysitter or a child caretaker. Your dog is a dog, it’s a domesticated carnivore with teeth and the power to bite and if you trust a child around it unsupervised, you are risking a disaster, even if your dog never bites a child, the risk is always there. To call ANY dog a “nanny” is just inaccurate and perpetuates a very dangerous myth.

This is critically important. For one thing, the “nanny dog” thing is completely made up and for a second thing, you can’t trust young children with dogs.

I don’t care how much you trust the DOG. You can’t trust the CHILD to understand the dog if it feels uncomfortable or wants space. That’s how you end up with children getting bitten. And then the dog is blamed for communicating the only way it knows how. So supervise your children when they’re around the dog.

Even if you don’t think a dog will bite, if they’re big enough they could still knock a kid over or something. Sully loves my 3-year-old nephew but we always have to watch him because even though he doesn’t jump, he’s very enthusiastic in his greetings and he’s right at the kid’s face level.
