For me, the most important thing by far is to not have to extend my pinkies to another column. A good thumb cluster and mod-tap implementation dwarf any of what you listed for my needs.

Yeah for sure try stuff out. But if it turns out to be hard, be willing to stop without feeling bad about it.

Absolutely this. You need to make sure they're clean, fed, safe (physically and emotionally), and are able to play (learn). Beyond that, choosing to parent on hard mode just gives you more stress for no benefit.

You can get a brand new perfectly functional smartphone for under $200. If electric cars drop to even $30k they're still way out of reach for most people, and we'll be waiting a long time from them to hit the used car market.
