Why More Moms Are Ditching Gentle Parenting

Hey there, mama! Grab a cup of coffee (or your drink of choice) and let’s chat about something that’s been buzzing in the parenting world lately: the gentle parenting approach. If you’re anything like me, you want to raise your littles to be kind, confident humans, but the pressure to be the perfect parent is real—and exhausting. The Gentle Parenting Overload Ok, let’s break it down. Gentle…

What Time is it? Part Two!

The question What Time is it? was the basis of this blog, it was my very first blog post (What Time is it?). From around 3 years old, my son started asking this question over and over again. And not just a couple of times a day—literally hundreds of times. He would ask it three or four times within five minutes and always needed the exact time. The exact time. If I said “nearly 4 o’clock” he…

Checking out other Quest AUs as I wait for my will to come back to continue with Inky Mystery.

(The conflict has not let down yet and I’m starting to feel dread)

Anyway, go check out this neato retell of the og Quest story by @thequestfortheinkmachinecomics. The characters’ designs are nicely touched up, their personalities seems more natural now, the art is really cool and oh no, I’ve run out of juice for words… I just know that this retell will be good so I’ll be on along for this ride.

My question is to the Minister for Nagi Seishiro and I ask— i finally remembered my question hahahah

What’s your thoughts on Nagi’s psychology and outlook in life?

The thoughts of him telling Reo “means you matter to your parents” is hitting me hard. Had me thinking of [redacted] but in a different hard-hitting context.

AHHHH HIII OKOKOK so idk this is probably an unpopular opinion because everyone likes taking nagi’s character at a very surface level but i think almost everything about nagi can be very easily explained if you think of him as someone who is very gifted but suffers from parental neglect

symptoms/signs of parental neglect:

image sources: [1], [2], [3]

there’s plenty of examples of nagi showing all of the symptoms i highlighted throughout the manga, epinagi, and his light novels, so i won’t add in screenshots because i’ll hit the image limit 😭 but it seems to me that while a lot of people headcanon nagi as not caring about anyone and wanting to be alone, that one line about how reo’s parents’s suffocating parenting style means they “care” about him, however misguided it may be, proves that he does want someone to love him and look after him, considering his own parents never really did so. it’s mentioned that he and his parents had a “friend-like” relationship but you can NOT have that kind of relationship with someone you are meant to raise!! (that doesn’t mean you can’t be friendly and supportive with your kids, but you need to be responsible for them in a way that friends aren’t so that they can grow up into well adjusted adults)

incidentally this is also why i like him and barou together and why i think nagi really shines around barou — barou’s probably one of if not THE first person to not only pay consistent attention to nagi but to do so in a way that sets and maintains boundaries (as in, not letting nagi get away with anything the way other characters do). it’s annoying to nagi in the way that getting yelled at by your parents for misbehaving is annoying to you in the moment, but at the end of the day it’s good for him and what he has been missing for much of his life

Y'all I just watched Jaiden Animations' video about learning she has ADHD and man... some of that stuff just hit me hard. The having to tie yourself down to work, the being relatively okay in school until college, the wondering if a doctor would just say, "It's a you problem, go away"—geez that resonated. I'm glad she finally got a diagnosis and Adderall and learned how to work best with herself though! I hope things start to turn out better for her as time goes on

Gifted kid?

Nah, I think you mispronounced NEURODIVERGENT

[cantheykillmacbeth]

Arukenimon and Mummymon from Digimon Adventure 02 could both kill MacBeth.

They were both created artificially by Yukio Oikawa, a male scientist, so they both apply for the Unconventional Birth and Birth Parent clause. Arukenimon also applies for the Gender Clause due to being a woman.

Yes, both Archnemon/Arukenimon (left) and Mummymon (right) from Digimon Adventure 02 could kill Macbeth!

As stated above, the two of them were created by Oikawa Yukio using his own DNA to create the two human-digimon hybrids, meaning they both apply for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause! Additionally, Archnemon is female, meaning she applies for the Gender Clause as well!

Thank you for your submission!
