Milk nullifies capsaicin though. You’ll probably have to use something like ginger. Lots of ginger. It would probably be delicious too now that I think about it.

I don’t think the situation you describe is any different. Do they understand that they’re not allowed to have this thing regardless of whether they’re seen or not? Or do they think that there’s some arbitrary rule where they’re allowed to have it only if they’re not discovered? Do they even have a concept of what it means for something to be “allowed”?

My toddler “lies” all the time, but how do you determine whether they mean to deceive or if they think they’re communicating something different?

For example, if I ask “are you sleepy?” and they responded “No” when they clearly are, is it because they understand the question as “Do you want to take a nap?”, or do they understand that “sleepy” refers to the physiological sensation they’re currently experiencing and are lying about it to avoid having to nap?

The nurses were keeping an eye on both me and my partner for PPD in our post-birth appointments, so I’m guessing that means it’s something that affects everyone. I don’t know what PPDD is. Google just gives me back PPD.

I was also only thinking of parenting as the part where you take care of a child. Everything else around that is parenthood to me. I can see parenthood stuff being sometimes more gender specific, especially when it comes to things like social expectations.

Besides breastfeeding, I can’t think of anything relating to parenting that’s women specific. If anyone is going to add parenting content on Lemmy, I’d rather it be out here so everyone can participate.

Now the only alone time is when they sleep.

lol

Not if you want to get a full night of rest

They’re banned in this household.

There’s really no need for a specialized app. My partner and I would just message each other with “pee” or “poop” for diaper changes and the quantity of milk when feeding. Messages are automatically time-stamped.

Spoken words, none yet. But if you count sign language, it would be “more”, which is used to request food or water.

That would be a fair point to make if it applied.

I can only really speak with any confidence on the parenting side of things, and I can tell you that peeing on the ground is a perfectly normal occurrence for a kid who’s undergoing potty training. As for cats, what I’ve gathered through osmosis from other cat owners is that the moment something happens to their litter box, they’ll stop using it. There’s probably other problems that would have earlier warning signs, but I would expect many to have no earlier signs than peeing in random places.

Okay? So you handle the underlying problem then. I don’t understand why you think that the existence of a problem means someone can’t handle it.

Yeah, parenting is a lot more than just cleaning up pee. No one said it wasn’t. It also includes cleaning up pee. I don’t see what you’re getting at.

Sounds like they cleaned it up perfectly fine both times.
