What did X users say?
“However many diapers you think you need, it’s not enough,” posted an X user.
“Can I give you one? Always keep in mind that your child is not your possession. He/she is a product of creative consciousness, allow creativity to run through your children and let them shape their own future. Your job as a parent is to provide support and not direction,” shared another.

“After having four under four, discipline always starts earlier than you think. Don’t be afraid of it. Your kid will love you for it in the end,” added a third.
“They grow up so fast, so enjoy every minute! Even when they barf, poop, pee on you. All three happened with my kids. Wouldn't trade it,” joined a fourth.
“Don’t hide things from them and lie to them about your past. Also, the more you push into their privacy, the more prone they will be to hiding things from you and lying to you. I know you were probably looking for advice for younger kids, but it goes fast, and this is from a father of three amazing grown children,” wrote a fifth.
