I bought a cheapo game pad, FroggieX X-360, to play some racing game with my son (4.5 years old, and yes, I’m a bad parent 😈) today. He played it with his friends yesterday and liked it, so I wanted to try to play it with him.

This is the first pad I ever owned, so I cannot tell if it’s bad one or not, but it works on Linux with kernel version 6.18.2 and Flatpak’s Steam. To my surprise I needed to disable “Steam Input” for controller to work.

The game sucks, and it’s pay to win, so I’ll mercifully omit its title. But my son doesn’t care, and if dad and mum or his friends play it with him, he is totally over the moon. At this age it’s more important for him to somebody play with him than the game content.

I've just had serious words with one of my cats. His point was a demand for a third serving of biscuit. He was not happy not to get it. I was really close to threatening him to take him to the vet for vaccinations

Text at the top reads: "This is what human evolution is up against." followed by four laughing emojis and one neutral face emoji. Below, a maroon box contains white text: "My 3 year old is not vaccinated and there is currently a measles outbreak in my state. Any suggestions for precautions I can take to protect her would be very much appreciated."

Balancing between #selfCare and #parenting - indoor ride on a trainer 🚴while helping kids to get breakfast, pack their school bags and getting ready for school.

Sometimes this works better and on some days it feels like #badParenting

Today is one of the good days (for now 😎)

Well this is a shit message to send out to parents.
Give your kid tough-love and they'll become top of their chosen sport.

My mum gave me tough love and it made me believe I was a failure at everything I did and that there was no sense in even trying.

So, sure: tough love FTW
