My wife seems to think it’s the end of the world if I leave our twins in another room, so that I can do my business privately.

My question is extremely embarrassing to me, but here goes: I am a stay-at-home dad to a pair of 14-month-old twin girls. Most of their first year of life was happening during the pandemic quarantine, so my wife was working from home. This made my life easier since she was around to ask to watch our daughters whenever nature called. Now she is starting to go to the office a couple of times a week, since restrictions in our area are lifting.

I agree that having two tiny humans in a bathroom is pretty risky, so if you can keep them in a confined area where you can see/hear them, they should be fine for the short amount of time that you’re away. But I gotta question you on one thing: Why is it inappropriate for your girls to be in the bathroom with you because you’re a man? You’re their DAD, not some truck stop stripper who’s twirling his junk around like a lasso.

Everyone in America falls into one of three buckets: Those who are actively anti-racist, those who are racist, and then those people in the middle who quietly move through life ambivalent about racism. If your parents are going to hit you for denouncing racism, you probably know what bucket they fall into. The key to creating an anti-racist society is not trying to move the folks in the racist bucket into the anti-racist bucket, as that has an extremely low success rate.

I got to say the expert answer by Doyin Richardson was kind of shitty.

Jesus...GAFL!

do the twins sleep in your bedroom or do they have a different room? If a separate room, she has nothing to complain about! If the same room, what happens when you fall asleep! You did not mention age, are they rollers yet, just put pillows around them! and so it goes...

Regarding the tickling question, I'm European and that's strange and not a thing I'd be comfortable with.
