Hello all! Long time since I’ve posted. I got a new job at the same place after all the baby time was up. Also - I’m a trans woman - didn’t realise this until about a month ago. I’m in the weeds folks. I’m just so happy that the little one will grow up in a time where my transition will be safe and …

I was talking to my son (6y) the other day before bedtime. He wanted to know why I need to go to work (I come home after dinner, about the time he needs to go to bed, so on my workdays, 3 days a week, I only see him just before bed, and this makes him sad sometimes).

Hello comrades! I expect this thread will evolve to more issues revolving around the immediate family of an active and theory-ridden communist. A bit of self disclosure: I’m an only child.

Myself, I’m battling my mother who assured me within a year everything will be pink un…

My baby makes a lot of shouts and cries, but isn’t verbal yet, so no Das Kapital just yet. Any parents out there with 2-4 year olds who ask loads of questions? I’d like to try to outline the child-accessible topics that we might run into in the course of a day: sharing items, roles of people in soci…

Since I’ve become a father myself in October, this is the one topic I felt I couldn’t share much about on other communities. Mainly because most leftists I meet there don’t have children (yet). …

Hello comrade families! I wanted to start a discussion about values in raising children, from infancy and toddlerhood. I think it’s safe to say that trying to get your 2 year old to understand Marx is a fruitless endeavor - they’re children after all! What I’m looking at for my 6 month old is trying…

I’m a father of a 6 month old girl and have been married for 2 years. I’ve been most heavily involved in communist theory for the better part of a year, though I already had these beliefs about 15 years ago and was laughed out of social relevance. We are fucking the earth to death and capital must e…
