Roblox
● Watch with kidRoblox is a huge library of user-made games with chat, avatars and Robux spending. Since 2026 it requires an age check for chat and offers age-based accounts for under-16s. Those tools help, but they do not make every game safe.

Today the 4yo asked if his brother could sleep in his room
Two years of fighting over who-touched-what and tonight he came up and said 'I want him close because the lightning is scary for him.' I cried in the hallway. Sharing this here because nobody at work would get it.
- AIBU
AIBU to refuse a phone for my 10yo until middle school?
Her entire class has phones. Half the parents I know caved already. I keep feeling like the villain, but I genuinely don't think she needs one yet. Am I being unreasonable, or is this the hill?
- Vent
Just need to vent — no advice please
Got a call from school AGAIN. Same issue. I know exactly what every parenting book would say, I know the script. Tonight I just want to be tired and frustrated without fixing it. Thanks for letting me say it out loud.
- Question
Is Stranger Things genuinely okay for a sensitive 8yo?
She begs because her friends watch it. I watched the first episode and I'm not sure. Looking for honest takes from parents whose kids are on the sensitive side — did you let yours watch, and how did it go?
- Anonymous parent💬 Real Parent TalkConfession
I let my kid have 4 hours of screen time today so I could finish a work deadline. I'm not even sorry. I'm just tired.

If your kid loves Bluey — try Hilda on Netflix
We were Bluey-deep for years. Hilda has the same warmth without the toddler energy. My 8yo is hooked, and I actually enjoy watching it with her. Not sponsored — just genuinely good.
- Question
Roblox safety settings — what do you actually use?
My 7yo started Roblox last month. Chat is off, but I keep reading horror stories. What settings do you swear by, and which games do you whitelist? Need to know what real parents actually do, not what the help center says.
- Question
What's the hardest part of parenting nobody warned you about?
I thought sleep deprivation would be the worst of it. Five years in, I'd take a sleepless newborn over the relentless emotional labor of an 8yo any day. Tell me I'm not alone — what hit you out of nowhere?
