Tooth fairy?? - Lemmy.World
Who came up with the tooth fairy anyways, this is ridiculous. My kid has been
talking about it because some classmates have lost teeth recently. It got me
thinking the whole thing is bonkers. We’re supposed to sneak in and put money
under their pillow? How TF do we do this without waking them up? And HOW MUCH?
Has the tooth fairy kept up with inflation? My kids haven’t lost any teeth yet.
Looking for input and fun stories from parents with kids who have lost teeth!

My crummy tl;dr - Intensive parenting and social media parenting shit making us
feel guilty for everything. Previous generations parenting was going about life
with the kid doing whatever on their own. Now we are on the floor with them
always in their business thinking and preparing ten steps ahead I’m curious what
parents of kids 5+ think of this. At one point in the podcast, someone says,
“Bigger kids, bigger problems is what they say. It becomes less physically
demanding, but it’s more mentally demanding.” My kids are 4 and under, so I’m
definitely in a phase where they are physically demanding.
