I don't know. I need to find out who the father is, or are you guys adopted ? But I thought the absolutely filthy would come from Jason, ....now thinking about it Jason mentioned Krista's pearls the other day. I'm starting to think it's a very bad story to write.

I didn't feel threatened but now I feel totally safe because I have more than 2200 miles ( but you give her a radius to haunt you down). Putting Jason and Jeff together, just gave me an idea, a fanfiction story of Jason and Jeff as brothers and Krista as the mother.... I just need a few more family members.

No thanks, I'm pretty fine with the image of Krista as the respectable lady. I have a feeling she's one of those parents you want to have her in your contacts as the emergency but you have to make sure during parent-teacher meetings stay out of her radar. And I can't imagine something like"it's not my forum" stops you from sharing your wisdom 😈😂

Why do I have a feeling there is a some background I don't know. Should I start dreading my life? I changed my mind, I guess I figure out the social media problem without tutoring from @Krista. I may not survive her.

First of all thanks for sharing a piece of you and your experience as a parent. You probably know it but I'm gonna say it again. You are one hell of parents. The kids on the leash with the cereal box and a mom who has surrender to the will of the demons....there were so many things I kept on nodding as I read your comments. The shopping drama was mostly avoided by go shopping alone. To be honest it was no fun to sit with the kids until the tantrum was gone, and the younger one can throw tantrums lasting an hour. I guess I need a private course on how to make the kids not involved with social media. The kids are still young but I see that the time is limited before it's too late. I can claim it's a bit different here with kids having to take responsibility for their own basic needs at kindergarten and school, they have to clean up after themselves and so on but I guess it's a skill they forget later 😅 One of the things other parents don't like about us is the kids had their own phone, laptop and flat-rate screen time from a very early age, they have even access to sweets unsurprised. What they don't see is the strict rules ( expectations) and reality of having more control. We call it the LIST.its a list of their chores to do before they ask about watching tv or playing computer games. There were nights kid1 went to bed crying and totally frustrated because she wasted so much time and didn't manage to finish things on time. It's a good feeling that they don't blame you for not allowing the screen but admit their mistakes. What many parents do is simply giving their phones to the toddler to shut up, what they are doing is giving the full access to the adult world, they can buy things, send my boss random pictures ..., so no, they had their own phones totally limited. I'm just thinking maybe they should get their own platform.... As for school I try not to get involved because it won't end up nice. Like you, we try to talk about the incidents and find solutions, I heard the kid is really problem solving oriented and the teacher was glad that kid1 tried to find solutions for other conflicts. So just Reading your comment was very helpful, at least I know I am on a good way. The teenage years scare me but I hope everyone survive without much casualties. BTW @Krista you have my full respect, you even make @Jason Rimbaudbehave. So I know I gotta be careful around you.😇

That was mean to let them fall in a trap and how are they going to help Theo? The circle seems like Theo must burn himself and let the evil have the last of the wolves. So let's hope Jack has something to help.

Very educational.... I'm glad I have my Tofu and nobody cares which part

You are totally fine, you just woke up the demon @Jason Rimbaud and he is unfortunately right hot dogs are not sandwiches.... although the kids can make both of these two complicated recipes .... Wow. I'm proud of us. The kids can do more than Crepes. I need a second t shirt.

Then you guys are better. We dub everything, and I like the Netflix hete.They learn stuff at school but between us, I never realized it was in English except kid1 proudly states to say something in English.

Not from an early age. Here they watch everything in German so they don't see the need yet. But they have to learn it at some point. And yep Crepes are better or I don't care as long as I don't make them. 😅

Nope, they can really do it. Hours of threatening and exercise have been used to achieve this goal. Every morning Kid1: can I have my phone? Me: nope, make your bed first Later Kid 1: can I have my phone? Me: ok but only 10 minutes 10 minutes later Me: get ready for school Kid1: oh ...and I'm very hungry Me: what do you want to eat sweetie? Kid1: pan cakes Me: good idea, do it yourself. I gotta get back to work. The eggs are in the fridge, where they always are Kid1: but I can't make pancakes, I can make crepes. Me: then make crepes, and get ready in 20 minutes. Kid 1 makes crepes because that's the recipe could find. 15 minutes later, Me: brush your teeth and just go. You have 10 minutes to get to school but I have a meeting so don't disturb me. Kid1: but....I haven't eaten yet ..... And after several weeks of complaints from the teacher ( being ignored by the parents) and the kid going hungry to school she finally figured out playing on the phone early in the morning is not good and if she doesn't make her bread and breakfast, nobody else does it. I must confess, Kid 2 is work in progress but kid 2 is younger. So nope, it's not lying. It's just a matter of who's more stubborn and who gives up first.

That's not completely true. I got Crepes, which is the French version of pan cakes so.... 😏 https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-make-crepes

Oh noooo, you didn't fall into the trap. Don't play the call of duty trick on me, I learned English from playing computer games so.... I guess I'm gonna get the kids t shirts with " "we are looking for a new home and we even make you breakfast " Then leave them at some playground and run. It might work on someone desperate to have cute pets who can talk.

When you have to go through all the trouble, sick days, sleepless nights, heart broken teenagers, empty bank accounts, there should be some rewards to it. BTW, the kids are really cute and actually its important that they visit the states to learn English, so do you want to have them for a year? You are allowed to try all your creative ideas ( within boundaries).

Thanks for destroying my bubble of not being mundane according to Jason Do you think I dont hear enough :"Daddy, just go. You are so embarrassing." And I swear that's almost the first complete sentence they learned to say. On the bright side, there's nothing more satisfying than embarrassing the kids, we are looking forward to the times they experiment things with friends and we accidentally need something from them.😈 We have already discussed the best places for condoms, lubes, toys and other educational materials.

This one was sorta sadly dark, and somehow self blaming. And it is soooo old. Who's Treyvan?

Wow thanks for the definition. I try to imagine myself as a good parent. At least almost noone from school or kindergarten staff has seen the mysterious dads because we never pick up our kids. So we can never embarrass them, which means we are good parents. And apart from the 250€ monthly bonus, I remembered we get some tax back and more financial bonus on the house and electric cars,.... So the kids do have their benefits. And if you program them well, to everyone's surprise they are capable of doing the chores and cooking....

You want an honest answer? It was a moment of weakness, too much alcohol, hormones, hornieness and no condoms.... Shit, my dear AI friend this answer doesn't work when the party involved don't have the right equipment. Ok, now the answer without AI, blame the In-laws for desperately wanting to have grandkids and not caring two guys are not designed to make pooping money sucking machines. I really don't know why I let them brainwash us into this bullshit, there are times I regret it, I even tried to send the monsters back ( Retour didn't work) or put them in a basket with a note " ready for a new home"😅 But I like them, they are funny and you get 250€ for each kid per months....that's a good deal or not!!😂

That was so strange and so much sex. Now I understand why Jason is so fund of you and said you are the master. I think I switch to asexual modus till my brain worked so many people together. 😂

Some people learn, some people remember the history and some people keep on reminding others, otherwise the world was much more horrible than it is now. Unfortunately those who don't remember are stronger, more powerful and louder, still there are enough to remind us of the past. @drsawzallThanks for reminding us.

One aspect of mankind is to be able to commit anything when pushed too far. Even the nicest of all is capable of pulling the trigger so.... Don't annoy people too much 😁 ( that happens when @Jason Rimbaud leaves everything to free interpretation.)

@Jason Rimbaud A bit of seriousness from me as well. First Ben and then Davide, it's very impressive how many people respect you. I don't want to take back the demon because it's rude and you really need three more descriptions, but you are promoted to "Sir Demon" .

@Myr what is demanded is out of my responsibility. But he's demanding... Yep. You are a cool demon to me. Prove otherwise or remain a demon of your choice.

I meant you. I said I think Myr is too much of a geek and he didn't ask to be called sir. 😅

It's good to get it confirmed. I think the same but sometimes I'm not sure if I am doing it right or am I too strict because I'm afraid of someone treating the kids differently because of their parents' sexuality. I'm just thinking we were not given a lot of freedom, it was like the world was not so dangerous or the parents were not criticized for every action. I feel like no matter what we do, we're doing it wrong 😂 And it's normal to be overprotective, actually it's bad if you give the kids too much freedom. But then I have a feeling kids today are more self conscious and individually independent. I know at the age of 8 I was satisfied with climbing trees and waiting for the other kids to play soccer together or throw stones at the pigeons. My parents never asked me if I needed/ wanted something. But now my 8 year old daughter is telling me about investments and how she's planning to buy her house and farm, how I should take videos of her explaining things to others to earn money, she even sells her plants to others. She amazes me how she negotiated her rights ( yep she thinks it's her right to have certain things). So it's totally a different world. Therefore it makes no sense to ban things , but instead focus on negotiations and problem solving. Still it would be interesting to know how other dads do things or if there's a kid with two dads or moms old enough here to say if it really made any difference or as long as they are loved they are fine. Thats my biggest fear and I hope no parent experience it. But then I try to be as responsible as a parent can be without crossing my own boundaries.
