Ah good suggestion, I’ll put them on my list.

I think it’s with the Wimpy kid series, it’s supposed to be the joke that the main character is oblivious to all the horrible things he’s doing, but he just comes across as a sociopath. And I don’t like that it makes fun of kids for being different, rather than the more common theme these days of our differences are our strengths.

Thanks, have added to the list!

Thanks, I’ve put it on my list!

Haha well that’s the first option if I can find it!

Personally I am more likely to read on a screen, and that screen will be my phone, but that’s because I tend to read most away from home and don’t want to carry a book around with me. But for the kids, a physical book is better. Even if I’m reading to them I’d rather read from a book than the kobo or my phone.

Haha I wouldn’t stoop that low for a book, if I have to I’ll download it to the kobo.

Oh I think we’ve read a couple in the past, I’ll add it to my list to go back to. Thanks!

It looks like it gets read every day! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve put it on the list.

Thanks, I’ve added it to the list!

Thanks, I’ve added it to the list 🙂

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ve put them on the list!

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve added it to the list!

Thanks, it seems bookshop.org only covers the US and Canada, but I’ll have a look around to try to find them.

Wow thanks for the list! As you can imagine I’m building up quite a list, but I’ve added these too!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the suggestion! This kid did love Dogman, and fart jokes, so we’ll check out the others. Thanks for the suggestions!

This kid does love poop jokes so that does sound like a good replacement! I also see there are a bunch on Libby so I’ll jump on that.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion! I have seen Wings of fire in the book club, I might order one or two and give it a go. It sounds more like the kind of book one of my other kids reads but we can try it out and see.

I haven’t, thanks for the suggestion!

Are they still in print? Searching up local book stores here I can’t seem to find them.

Sorry I have edited my post to say it’s a book series. I’m not sure if there is a TV series but I’m referring to the books.

But we have watched plenty of Bluey and Daniel Tiger.

Despite me looking for book suggestions, I’ll note down your suggestions anyway!

Not the one I was looking at: https://f-droid.org/packages/it.danieleverducci.lunatracker/

I do see with a web search there is a period tracker with the same name. Confusing!

Froid has LunaTracker. It says you can sync via WebDAV (e.g. Nextcloud or others).

I haven’t used it so can’t vouch for it but it looks nice and simple to use.

We have never bought new couches. My main chair is older than I am. But I did sit in a chair in a shop the other day and the back was right up behind my head, a surprisingly hard thing to find for someone tall-ish like me. Almost made me want to buy it.

I hate visiting other people because they have short backed couches that just aren’t person-shaped. Makes me wonder how they sit there for hours.

But you’re also a grownup who can buy more markers!

My parents didn’t buy good furniture until after I left home. They always said they would when the kids were gone but I moved out and my first visit they had new furniture, so I’m pretty sure it was me they were waiting for to leave.

Unrelated, I spilt coke on the new furniture on that first visit.

I have a kid who (on a regular basis) took felt tip pens and just started colouring at the toes, up the legs, arms, all the way to the head sometimes. Changing colours as they felt like it.

They did this well past the toddler years.

Pro tip: washable markers are a lot more washable if you wash it off straight away instead of waiting all day.

Kids that age shouldn’t just be able to use a computer unsupervised or have free access to a computer/console like that. Screentime is a thing and its important.

There is no indication that’s it’s free unlimited access. I don’t get how it being unsupervised is related to screen time.

I’d happily throw minecraft on a phone to a kid in the back seat of the car. I can’t see what they are doing, but I know that minecraft not on a public server has very little content inappropriate for a 5 year old, and what little there is doesn’t come up if you have peaceful mode on.

I’m not convinced that a 5 year old can’t grasp the concept of virtuality. Minecraft on peaceful mode is just giant blocks being picked up and placed. Even if it were true they don’t get that it’s virtual (that I don’t really understand how that could be true), I can’t imagine what long term damage could possibly be done by believing the blocks are real.

Even younger. The touch screen version is easy enough for a 4 year old or maybe younger, depending on what you constitute “playing”.

Now I think about it, I’m certain I’ve had this conversation, except it was cats not cows.

Ah nice, will see how the kids like the animals, though they get to see plenty of real life animals.

Awesome, thanks! I’ve been through this list and added a bunch to my list.

Thanks, will check it out!

Great, thanks, I’ll check it out!

Oh nice! I have quite the list of things to work through now.

I’m imagining your little kid saying “How It’s Made fucking slaps” 🤣

I’ve got the first season downloading 🙂

Ooh I’ll see what I can find, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks I’ll check it out!

There are Bluey shorts?! We’ve watched a fair amount of Bluey episodes, didn’t know there were shorts. I’ll look into it, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ooh I like that suggestion. They would probably love the OK Go ones. I’ll have a look at They Might Be Giants music videos too. Thanks!
