"Gentle Parenting" is another instance. It could mean that you set boundaries but are more cautious about how you give punishments, attempting to fit the punishment to the bad deed. Or it could mean that you let the child do whate

Ah, so others have been having this problem too. My work computer has been taking about 2 minutes to fully boot up (with ssd) after the march update when it used to just take a few seconds. Unfortunately it's my work computer so I don&
