Oh, you have one child, and that child is one?

How cute.

Please, tell me all about raising my 12 year old twins. I'm 100% sure you've got the best advice ever. Tell everyone else how to raise their children, too. You're doing a fantastic job. Every parent in this thread thinks a lot of you.
Do I need cancer to treat cancer? Fuck your lack of logic.

Now get on topic and stop poking at me.

You're dishonest, you take info out of a context and try to mask your jabs in what seems like innocent questions. Your fake surprise is apparent to anyone. Your childish games are boring me now.

So. Get of my back or get bent.
You're right, my surprise at you saying you give your under 1 year old soda with no context what so ever and so I responded by saying "wat?" and then specified I wasn't taking a dig at you but I was shocked to hear you say that....because I was because I've seen multiple posts from you on here about being health conscious was totally me being a dick in reality and had nothing to do with the fact that I thought I'd get some clarification from you on the matter....along with 2 or 3 more posts saying I wasn't saying anything out of malicious intent but again was curious as to how you were doing it.

Get off your back? You lashed out at ME, not the other way around. I know you don't like me but if you can't carry on an adult conversation without flying off the handle I don't know what to tell you brosive. I don't lie to people and I'm not lying to you now, nothing was meant by it other than wondering and wanting more details on what you were meaning and that I was genuinley surprised to see you say you give your under 1 year old soda, regardless of the amount.

Seriously man, get a grip and calm yourself.

While you don't need cancer to treat cancer...just because someone is a parent doesn't mean they are qualified to be so or give advice. Not saying this applies to you, but the analogy was a bit off.

All parents at different stages in raising their children have different perspectives, we're here to share those experiences and long time parents can give tips to new ones. There's little reason to get angry at one another or tell someone they are doing something wrong when every situation is different and every child and upbringing is different.

Again, not really directed at you per say, more of a general statement.

I'm not having an adult conversation with someone who makes veiled threats and masked attempts at me.

Send me a PM if you wish to discuss this further. Thank you.

Not poking at you. Responding to your posts. Don't like it? Respond back.

Congratulations! You're doing just that. It's what I'm doing, too.

Spend a few years as a parent. Then go back and talk to people who have one child who is one. I'm not trying to be offensive. Read as much as you like. Do all the research you want. I think that's a fine and excellent thing to do. I did the same. Then, spend a few years as a parent, and find out that everything you tell other people about their kids is complete shite. Every child is different, and if you have more than one, you'll realise that you can do EXACTLY the same thing with each child and have wildly different results.

But, if it makes you feel good to act superior because you have a one year old, by all means. Continue.

And my lack of logic? Deal with multiple kids. Then talk to me. Yeah, you don't need cancer to treat cancer. You need knowledge to treat cancer. Just like you need knowledge to parent multiple kids, and kids that are different ages than you have ever parented. You have a one year old. Woot! Good for your. Obviously, you're better qualified to parent my five children than I am, because you have a one year old.

Honestly?

I've no interest in PM'ing you, I've made absolutely ZERO veiled threats towards you and I don't even know what "making a masked attempt" at you means.

You may not be having an adult conversation, but I am. You've chosen not to participate and that's fine, but calm down man. It's going to be okay.

Thanks for coming to my aid and defending me from baseless attacks, Moderator. Or at the very least telling your lapdog to get off my ankle. Oh, you're just fueling the pyre? Shocking

Let me know when you're being serious and not poking at me again. Mkay?

WHo attacked you? All he said was to him you were not qualified to give him parenting advice.

Holy shit dude you're losing it. Seriously. Take a deep breath and calm down.

I'm honestly confused as to why you're flying off the handle right now.

What are you on about? We are having an adult conversation. You've been asked to do that multiple times here. And what did anyone say that makes you think they are not serious? The parts that make you look foolish?

Izo seems upset.

However, I'm done talking to Izo. Not worth any time or effort. Go ahead and feel superior. I'm a secure parent of five. You're welcome to take the mickey out of me. Enjoy yourself.

5 kids, with the oldest being twin girls? How are you still alive and legally sane?

Also, Izo providing plenty of entertainment.
Alive is a definite. Legally sane is up for debate.

To be truthful, I have amazing kids. Their greatest joy is to spend the evening with their parents (even the twins). I know that's going to change. Probably by tomorrow, but up to this point, I'm loving it.

God help me.
Good Lord man. I'll echo Gavinrad and wonder how you still have your sanity. Good for you though on maintaining it!

the twins entering their rebellious teen stages yet? I hear when they turn into little women is when it starts to fly off the deep end.

As I said above, no issues yet. The twins are the sweetest kids I have. For example, if I may boast for a moment, they're hoping to get on the soccer team at their school in a couple weeks, so they've started joining me for 6 AM runs. In the summer. They're asking us to take them camping. They hope to spend the day at the pool with us.

I know it will change, but I'm pretty confident things will remain excellent with my twin daughters.

That's awesome, I feel my son will stay pretty much how he is now throughout his teens as well.

My other two though I fear for what the future holds. LoL

Adult conversation? Right. So, by your logic, and by your own words, your sanity being up for debate, I was wondering, since experience in this field is a requirement, apparently, if you could assist Tarrant in his depression thread? You know, if you think it's related. Just curious and just replying

Back on topic:
Now that you're a secure father of 5 (or did I misread that?), could you tell me what to give a one year old for her birthday? I'm all ears

Fine. Douche.

I responded on his depression thread.

And if you're looking for a gift for a one year old, get something that has immediate gratification, if you're hoping to get a response. Or, wait, and make birthdays really special when the child will remember them. Bake your one year old a cake out of whatever ingredients you deem safe for his/her consumption. Let the child go apeshit crazy on the cake. Super special time. Forgotten by the next diaper. Be consistent. Build memories. Don't make birthdays crazy big gift giving times.

That's my advice. I'm sure it's not adult enough for you, but I don't care. You continually come off as a pretty despicable person. I hope I'm wrong, for your child's sake.

I'll echo this, and did the same thing for all the kids first birthdays. Except my youngest, he hates sweets which means he wouldn't touch his cake. We do have pictures of him smashing fists full of watermelon though. 1st birthdays are more for the parents than they are the kid in my opinion and as such you should worry about making memories for yourself and your family that you can share with them when they get older because like Lurking said, it'll all be forgotten by the next diaper anyways.
