Saw this article and thought it'd be helpful for y'all over 62 in US with kids under 18. Especially this quote... "children can collect as much as 50% of the parent’s benefit"
I remember when I was a kid there was this strange strength/status thing among neighborhood boys... who's dad was physically strongest - kind of like a weird point of brinkmanship ahead of a scuffle.
I'm going to be perhaps twice the age of some of the father's in my son's school and although wiser, better networked, and more financially secure - I certainly won't physically be able to "beat up" most of the other bigger, younger, fitter dads.
What could or should a son of an old man dad say in response to being baited about whose dad can beat up who?
My wife and I are very appreciative that our 2 year old is happy, healthy, and actively destroying all of our belongings in the most adorable ways possible.
Every time we tell friends that our toddler vomited all over me, proudly pooped in the shower, or has disrupted the flow of a work from home call... they all say something to the effect "cherish it, it'll be gone before you know it."
Things I've really leaned into paying attention to and enjoying every bit of our toddler include:
- Running at you full speed eye contact smiles & giggles for a big hug snuggle
- Splashing in the water in bath / shower
- Jumping up and down on the bed
What simple moments with your kiddo do you really wish you could relive over and over again?

The AI models that are reported to have "escaped" are not fully accidents but are the AI companies themselves deliberately testing the legal waters to accelerate what's going to be normal business competition in the upcoming months and years.
The AI company tech leaders want to hack each other as fun power & war games and want everyone else to need to play too.
