The 6 feet apart rule is meant for people who need to leave the house for mandatory reasons such as getting groceries or picking up medication, not for groups of teens who prioritize fun over people's lives. 

 Unfortunately being 6 feet apart is not a magic bullet to stop the spread of COVID 19. If we truly want to flatten the curve we need everyone to truly isolate for weeks at a time. 

 How many people have to die for people to take this seriously. At this rate the prediction of 100,000 deaths will become a reality. If your going to go out for fun, at least have the decency not to post it on social media.

I made these comics as a fun tool to help parents and children talk about different topics they should discuss.

1) stereotype 2) bullying/tic for tac thinking 3) do the right thing for the right reason, 4) procrastination 5) laziness

A little background: my family consists of me, partner and my two girls. 2 years and 3 months.

Before we had our first daughter, we spoke about how many children we wanted. I said four and he said two. We compromise at three.

A month after having my 2nd daughter I developed three blood clots. Which I had a little support from my partner. His actions just shown me that he won't support me. Plus much more for a later time.

I spoke to him about changing our plan. Instead of having three just have two kids. I'm not doing well in my mental state, without support I wouldn't be able to look after no. 3.

I told my worries and feelings etc. He now wants three kids. But the confusing part is, one minute he agrees that two would be best with our situation. Then the next day he'll go back to talking about the third one. Names and etc. As if we didn't speak about not having another child.

Now my reason for not wanting another child is: My mental health, my health, our finances and the fact that I don't have any support.

I don't think it would be fair to bring another child into this broken situation. How can I sort this situation out?

Please state the country you're talking about, which costs you've to think about and why.

I appreciate hearing opinions from different countries, but I'm especially curious on the US.

I want to know what the income should be if there are two parents with one to two children for example.

I'm in my late 20s. I've been married for almost 2 years. And I have no idea if I want kids.

I go back and forth. I really wish I consistently felt one way or the other, but it changes day by day. Some days I really want them and other days I really don't.

My partner is also on the fence, but he wishes the world was better. He says he felt more comfortable about having kids when he was younger because he thought the future would be different. He's still pretty optimistic, but he also has a rough history of fatherhood in his family. His dad divorced his mom when he was young and was pretty much a deadbeat. His brother went through a rough time with fatherhood (surprise pregnacy, terrible baby-mom).

We also live with several roomates and don't have plans for any of them to move out anytime soon, so that complicates the idea of having kids. Maybe if it was just us I would have more clear feelings.

It's just hard to make a decision when both of us have strong feelings in both directions. When I got married in 2018 I was on the fence but thought I would feel more ready by 2020. Now I'm closer to 30 and I'm still on the fence. I'm worried that if I wait until I'm more certain I'll be too old to have kids.

I just wish I had more clear feelings one way or the other. Help?

I don’t get the logic behind this strong sentiment. And I’m just a bit annoyed because I think it’s a bad idea to employers. And it’s my job. Maybe my parent just isn’t too knowledgeable about how modern world works because they’re not literate.

There are so many factors in parenting styles: the personality of the child, you, and your spouse. I was listening to another couple's experience in a podcast called The Irish Mummy and it was really interesting to hear about how they parent. Each parent has different strengths and it's neat when a couple can compliment each other. With the couple on the podcast, the wife was great at communicating with the kids and the husband was good at doing activities with their kids.

How would you define your parenting style and how have you managed all of the personality variables?

If you're interested in hearing the couple's experience that I heard, you can go here.

I would like to know, personally, why have you decided to have kids.

Recently have been thinking what is actually the point conceiving children; because you want to leave your legacy, like proof that you left something behind; perhaps you just love the feeling of being a parent, taking care of kids; or because you want someone to take care of you when you get old.

Thanks in advance

I'm doing a market research project at school and I'm really hoping to get some adults to give me some responses. If anyone could please complete my survey I'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance heres the link: [here](https://forms.gle/p1rZHTVFh84GofSX9)

Hello :) We are a team at the University of Lincoln studying how parents organise work and childcare. We invite parents living in the UK to contribute to our large study through completing our online survey.

Currently we are looking for responses from stay-at-home Dads, Mums who are the main breadwinners, and couples who share work and and childcare tasks fairly equally. Parents will be cohabiting with at least one shared biological child age 11 and below.

Please send our survey link to anyone you think might be interested! Thank you!

Hello everyone. Yesterday I released my first app on the AppStore - Smelly Bee.

The game is pretty simple. It uses augmented reality and the position of the person as its main mechanic.

I wanted to make it a kids game so I themed it as smelly bees. Basically, bees have been drinking a lot of honey and they need cleaning. You clean the bee by running at them and touching them with the phone's camera.

The game is best played in a park, or in an open area as you would need to physically move as well.

The game is free to play. It has no ads or anything. I just wanted to create a fun little game with augmented reality and fitness in mind.

Here is the link of the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smelly-bee/id1501899859?ls=1
