Boxed Set is sci-fi/fantasy. I guess I should have said that instead of genre.

So all the parents are awful, that's just accepted right? Batshit crazy awful.

There are a couple (literally, 2) good parents, which becomes more apparent as the show goes on. But otherwise, they are total garbage human beings (though a little nuanced [A LITTLE]).

Still, I'm hoping Jane doesn't stop napping for a while! And I'm sorry that ltc seems to be getting ready to stop. Can you have her do "quiet time" in her crib or her room for an hour (or a half hour, or whatever she'll allow)? Note: we tried that with Rose and it really didn't work at all, but several other parents have told me they were able to get their kids to do it.

I wonder if those parents were supported by day care in that? I was also one of those daycare kids not-napping at naptime, so I imagine I was used to having to be quiet for an hour with just a little adult interaction. (I don't actually remember my own time in daycare, but when I worked at a daycare center, we didn't do much for the no-nappers -- maybe let them draw? They definitely had to be quiet, and the staff definitely had other stuff to do in that time.)

I mean, also some parents are just lucky.

Thanks, Kate. I put her in her crib not sleeping for an hour today while I tried to deal with my headache. (How is it Teppy and I always have headaches/migranes on the same days?) And when my inlaws arrived and went to get her in the crib she was playing with the poop in her diaper. So I pretty much win the worst mother of the day award. She won't really do quiet time at home unless the TV is on, and I try to limit that. I'm hoping it is a skill she'll learn in school. The biggest problem with no nap is that she is wild and cranky by dinner time and has trouble calming down enough to eat.

How is it Teppy and I always have headaches/migranes on the same days?

I think the solution is for us to not have them at all!

I agree! How do we make that happen?

Well I am up to ep7 and only the Sheriff and possibly Mr. Andrews seem normal.

only the Sheriff and possibly Mr. Andrews seem normal.

Bingo. Although it's sad that Sheriff Keller seems like gold-star parenting just in comparison to the garbage fires of the Coopers and Blossoms (it gets weirder), when he's just doing the bare minimum of being a good dad to his gay son (who I love FOREVER). Fred Andrews is pretty damn good. Not perfect, but pretty good. I like to pretend that he's Dylan McKay in the witness protection program.

All of the other parents, though, all the way up to Mayor Robin Givens, can fuck off and die. Although I always love seeing Robin Givens.

Timelies all!

Mr. S still naps if we put him in the crib. I assume he naps at school(at least I know they have naptime because we had to bring in a sheet and a blanket), though they don't tell us much of anything about what he does there.
