Think that's bad. Try UX of adults.

#32The things children are born not knowing is crazy. The pre-programming is limited ! You have to teach them how to blow their nose. "Don't eat your boogers." Holds finger out to me. I wipe it off. "Don't pick your nose, blow it instead. No, don't pick my nose either."
Honestly, I'm loving this process because you discover so many situations where the answer is "Why not? Uhhh shit, I don't know, actually. You're right, this is stupid. Why does everyone do it this way?" Mine is 2, so most of the situations so far are just about English rules. (Though every language has stupid inconsistencies) But there are many things like this in the world. I'm looking forward/dreading trying to ba…
I really love the experience of trying really hard to answer every question as accurately and honestly as possible.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is there any reason beyond social standards that you shouldn't you eat your boogers, or pick your nose? And of course children wouldn't be pre-programmed for social standards, because you don't know what region they are going to be provisioned in.
Rhinotillexis and mucophagy may help expose the immune system to weakened versions of pathogens. Depending on how well you clean your hands before and after, however, it may introduce new things into the nose, or introduce things in your nose to the people you shake hands with. There is also a minor risk of injury, mostly nosebleed.
Yes, I think if you washed your hands immediately afterward every single time, that it would be totally fine (from a first principles standpoint).

#34I would like to submit some feedback on the teething process.

I'd estimate the majority of what I teach my son is cultural norms. "No, there's no good reason you have to do it this way, but you do." I don't actually say that to him (he's 3), but I say it to myself a lot. And the "Don't pick my nose, either" isn't a joke, that's verbatim.
I think it is accurate to say things that boil down to "other people will expect you to {xyz thing}", which is not "no good reason".

#36How do I get new features added to the roadmap? I’ve been asking for an “eat vegetables” interface without the “offer dessert in exchange” workaround for over a year, no response, yet in the same time frame I’ve seen things like “climb top-heavy bookshelf” and “unfurl entire toilet paper roll” deployed… who is asking for these features??
We put everything on a plate and offer it to the child(ren). Then, if they become hungry later on, they can return to said plate and continue eating.
Dessert is considered "equal", so we place it on their plate. However, that also means that they can't raid the pantry for snacks afterward.
It seems to be working. Our oldest ate celery and peanut butter the other day, which is pretty unexpected to us.

The one that blew my mind was, when you're out in the yard, playing with the running hose, and you decide to come inside for something, don't bring the running hose with you! Turns out kids don't automatically know that.

Can somebody explain the "won't eat vegetables" thing? The only place I've heard about this being in issue is in America.
My kid (~2 years) prefers to eat food they like the taste of most.
Turns out that they prefer the sweet tastes of biscuits and even bananas etc to broccoli and carrots.
They'll whinge and whine about being hungry, so you offer them some peas or avocado or something and they will literally push it out of the way, look you straight in the eye, and tell you about how hungry they are (...but not hungry enough to eat the veggies in front of them!). Offer them crisps or biscuits or even just fruity-yoghurt and they'll scoff it down super-fast because presumably it tastes nicer.
Can't blame them really.
