First of all you'll be really happy with all those babies when you turn 80 and society hasn't fallen because the average age is 70.

Second, when childcare is free more people can join the workforce, this increases taxes and productivity.

But maybe the most important it will make society more equal. When you're poor working almost doesn't make sense if you have to spend 80% of your salary on childcare. So more people don't work, these people are usually women. That really doesn't help with an equal society, because a big group can't really work so they can't really climb any ladders.

Yeah it's like saying if you support free software, you support companies to not pay taxes or companies putting nicotine in products.

If you ask people what they want it makes sense you'll get a lot a sequels.

Like if you asked people what they wanted 200 years ago they would say faster horses, not a car.

Yeah same I was inflating all the bicycle tires of my family. On most of the tires it says inflate to x bar, but my electric pump only knows psi.

Maybe but that would also mean people from let's say Poland can live and work in the UK right? I thought that was one of the bigger Brexit points.

When is that going to happen? I would be very happy to have you back in the club 😊

What's the alternative? Not voting so others will decide for you. Even if you don't like both candidates, you probably hate one more than the other.

I have a pixel 6 pro, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd think Google is capable of providing a perfect Android experience, but my old Note 9 was way less buggy.

I've had lots of issues with 3rd party launchers (nova), I can't even use the USBC with a dongle and second screen (my old Note could do this without issues). Also this is my first phone without headphone jack and SD slot, both I really miss. Just in general the software (especially in the beginning) felt really buggy with small glitches etc.

I don't think I'll ever go pixel again.

I don't really visit reddit anymore, but still end up there sometimes because of a google search. Anyway there is an extension for Firefox Android to always show old Reddit. So you don't have to log in or install the app.

In the last six months a lot changed, we moved to a new house, my wife had a baby (girl) and my son turned 4 and started school.

I'm not really sure if this is the reason but for the last month or so, my son has more and more temper tantrums. Basically any time we tell him no, he gets very frustrated and angry. Sometimes shouting or pushing me. It's pretty new behavior and I really don't like it. I have talked to him after the tantrums and he usually agrees he shouldn't behave like this, but so far it keeps coming back. One other thing he does is just ignoring us whenever we ask him something he doesn't want to do, pretending he can't hear us.

The last thing I want to do is be angry or use threads (like I'm counting to 3). But sometimes it's the only way to get him to do something (like getting dressed for school).

I would really want to have a better way to communicate without the negativity.

 

For years I was on Reddit and the last few years as a new dad I really liked daddit, it was a very nice community of dads that would share advice and help each other. It's the only part of Reddit I miss and never found a substitute for.

So I hope dadvice can grow into a community like that.

Please share your stories, dad jokes, ask for help, etc.

They all seem to have pro's and con's, not really sure why I have such a hard time choosing
