@threeduck @dadsplain That is still kind of my instinct, but my daughter's pickiness got to the point that it affected her health. Fortunately, we've made enough progress over the past few years that that problem is behind us. Now we're just working on variety. We're not forcing her to clean her plate. She just needs some encouragement and light pressure to figure out how to enjoy more than one type of vegetable.
@CrimeDad @dadsplain And apparently the images in Lemmy replies don't show up in Mastodon either lol. #Mastodon #Lemmy
@ptz @nostupidquestions Oh no. I don't think I default to the Tucker Carlson confused face, but I'm a little worried that I might. I just signed on to a Teams meeting and my CEO immediately asked me why I looked confused.
@enbyecho @asklemmy Well, geriatric pregnancies start at age 35, so it's really a flexible adjective. If you took it incorrectly, that's on you.
Based on the mixed responses I'm getting, it is not an established stereotype that older people write emails and text messages poorly. If I knew it was then I wouldn't have asked if others had similar experiences to mine in the first place.

@hitmyspot @dadsplain I think that is kind of what we've been doing. I didn't know it was a named method. We don't force her to finish her meals completely. She just needs some encouragement to improve the vegetable variety in her diet.
