Gentle parenting has been the anxious millennial antidote to the trauma caused by their boomer parent’s not-so-gentle approach to raising kids. This new wave of parents have become determined to not let history repeat itself, to usher in a kinder, more emotionally secure, more confident generation of humans. And while that intention is certainly admirable, perhaps we millennials, with all our self-deprecating humor, can also laugh at ourselves a bit with just how gentle we strive to be. A fun, tongue-in-cheek and instantly viral video created by 37-year-old mom of two Taylor Wolfe can help with that. The clip, which racked up 5.8 million views in less than 24 hours, shows Taylor trying to teach her boomer mother Sandy Wolfe all the ins-and-outs of gentle parenting so that she may use these more compassionate tactics on her grandkids. Let’s just say, many found her failed attempt completely relatable, not to mention hilarious. Sandy’s well intentioned “Be careful!” to her granddaughter gets met with Taylor saying, “We don’t say ‘Be careful!’ anymore. Instead say, ‘What’s your plan here?’” “I don’t even know my plan! Do you know your plan?!” Sandy retorts. Cut to: Sandy says “Stop. Don’t hit your sister.” Suddenly Taylor pops up from behind a corner to instruct: “Don’t say, ‘Stop,’ say, ‘Gentle.’”“‘Gentle’…what?” asks a confused Sandy.“‘Gentle hands,’” quips Taylor, adding. “‘Gentle’ everything.” @thedailytay GENTLE HANDS. ????❤️ #fyp #millennialsoftiktok #momsoftiktok #gentleparenting #parentsoftiktok #foryoupag #comedyvideo ♬ original sound - TaylorWolfe Sandy can’t even catch a break when she says “I’m so proud of you.” because, as Taylor explains, “you’re not supposed to tell kids you’re proud of them anymore. That’s putting the focus on you.”Then a classic comedy of errors ensues as Taylor advises Sandy to say “you should be so proud” and Sandy replies “I AM so proud!” Viewers could help but laugh at their own perhaps overzealous attempts to bring gentle parenting into their life. “I tried to gentle parent this morning but it turned into ‘OMG GET YOUR FORKING SHOES ON,”” one person wrote, while another added, “I always started with the Mary Poppins approach but sometimes you need to elevate to Judge Judy.”Others felt like this perfectly depicted how gentle parenting sometimes misses the mark. “I’m feeling anxious after observing gentle parenting,” one person wrote.Another simply said, “I stand with grandma.” This isn’t the first time Taylor and Sandy have given us a good chuckle comparing their different parenting styles. Here’s another funny video from August of 2023 where Taylor is flabbergasted to hear how her mother managed without Google: See on Instagram Listen, gentle parenting is great for providing parents more mindful, less reactive responses to their kids, which can do wonders for everybody. But there’s also something to be said for not getting so wound up in the minutia of every parent-child interaction, thinking anything and everything could be threatening to a child’s development. As with anything, balance—and a sense of humor—is always key. Follow along on more of Taylor’s fun and relatable content on TikTok.

What premise? That the rest of the world is not the responsibility of the US. We don’t owe the world anything, we don’t […]

“On my way to PRGE today, this is what I’m playing” Ryan Burger – Publisher of Old School Gamer. Get it now at www.ironmeat.com Review from September Issue of Old School Gamer Iron Meat by Brian Lesyk Retroware’s latest release, Iron Meat, takes the best parts of Contra III: The Alien Wars (Konami, 1992) and mixes in a solid dose of Cronenberg-level body horror elements for a heart-pounding run-and-gun platform shooter experience. You play as Vadim, a super-soldier tasked with defending Earth against an insatiable alien onslaught. Players can go at it alone or dial-up the fun with some simultaneous two-player co-op action. With an arsenal of discoverable weapons, dozens of unlockable player skins, achievements to…well…achieve, and nine multi-scrolling levels to rampage through, Iron Meat is a much-welcomed love letter to the fast-paced and challenging 16-bit actions titles of yesteryear. Notably, Iron Meat recently became Retroware’s first “speed run” release, meaning it launched with digital and physical availability on its release date—something virtually unheard of in today’s indie game distribution market. Iron Meat’s creator, Ivan Suvarov, began his career with traditional drawing, but later decided to parlay his artistic skills into producing high-quality pixel art. Ivan eventually dabbled in programming games on a hobbyist level. His production of Iron Meat begin in 2017 with him later collaborating with Retroware in 2019. Iron Meat has two in-game soundtracks, both created by Vladimir “Darkman007” Tugay—the more modern BGM and the old school chiptune versions of the same songs—both highly reminiscent of hard-driving metal tracks found in the DOOM series of games. Iron Meat is currently available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series, and PC. – www.ironmeat.com     The post IRON MEAT is Available! – “Contra-Action on Steroids” appeared first on Old School Gamer Magazine.
