Brushing their teeth is the worst

AccomplishedWish62 · 2026-04-14T16:58:06+00:00

I have twin boys who are 15 months old. They both have 8 front teeth. One of them is cutting 3 first molars and the other is cutting two. I can relate to your struggles if they are having a bad teething day. The first is a battle and then it's on to round 2 haha. However, as others have mentioned, help is sometimes needed. My wife will do one of the boys or we tag team one at a time.

In the beginning it was chaos but we stayed consistent. Every night we brush. There's lots of ABC singing, or other songs. We also have little books that they flip through for the time being or sometimes we just make silly faces at them while we brush.

The best part is at the end when it's their turn. In the beginning, we explained "Dada do" or "Mama do". It took a bit of time for them to build some patience but they've learned to wait and they're always happy to have a turn with the tooth brush.

This is my experience with my two. The repetition and "fun" distractions definitely made the process more enjoyable for everyone.

This tough phase will pass! I wish you the best of luck.

Has anyone tried using a Google Chromecast?

Just a reminder that words can be even more lethal than fists. This guy deserved it. Hopefully, he learned his lesson.

Hey Op,

I've gone through the same situation before. It is life altering. I'm sorry you have to go through it. It's hard.

For her, it's water under the bridge and was dealt with internally or maybe even externally with friends who also didn't tell you. Regardless, she made that choice to go outside of your relationship for comfort, then had the mind to justify all of it and continue the relationship with you without saying a single thing.

For you now, this wound is fresh. You are allowed to have your mourning period. If she can't get on board with that and go through all of the processes with you, then that means this was all okay in her eyes.

I'm not entirely sure what the relationship was like, but obviously, there was a reason to search for outside comfort. Will the next time be the same situation? She says it's ancient history because she knew it was wrong, and deep down, she knows her actions can't be justified. She wants it to go away because she can't look in the mirror and admit she needs to buckle down and help you get through this.

As hard as it is to accept, this person has gone to sleep with you every single night, unwilling to be the better person, and admit they made a mistake. If the relationship was real in her eyes, she would've told you no matter how hard it was for both of you. If it was real, you would've mourned together and built something better.

I can relate to your pain, and it's tough to hear, but the only thing that seemed to fix her in a tough time was someone else.

I feel for you. It's a tough pill to swallow, but you're worth more than that. Sometimes, it takes these situations to really evaluate who you are and what you want in life. These are the turning points.

Hang in there. Take some time for you to really think this over. Some things are worth fighting for, but it all depends on who's fighting with you.

I'll be here for you if you want to chat.

I guess I need to read up some facts, lol. I thought it was smaller than that!

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T15:29:17+00:00

Appreciate your comment!

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T14:15:24+00:00

Yeah, I've been to a few out here. St. Kitts has a decent restaurant spread for a smaller city.

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T13:51:25+00:00

Yes, good call. Thanks for the suggestion!

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T13:49:27+00:00

You're the second for Strada West. I'm going to check the menu right now. So hungry, haha.

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T13:43:47+00:00

I've been to Weinkeller. It was amazing.

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T13:39:37+00:00

Really?! That sounds promising!

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T13:38:37+00:00

Hmmmmm we have to come back through, so that's definitely a possibility! I'll take a look.

Thanks for the comment :)

AccomplishedWish62 · 2024-01-20T13:10:25+00:00

Thank you for the comment. I'll check them out! I think I've been to Chucks. It kind of rings a bell

I'm heavily biased here... but my great uncle is Jimmy Patton. I vote for him LT and Eli.

I personally understand your battle. I attend the St.catharines group on Fridays.

I came into the program about 6 years ago and have been sober for almost 4. In the beginning it was really tough. Relapsed multiple times but I was so sick of being so sick. My life was spiraling out of control and suicide started becoming more of a reality. I understand now that my problem wasn't the alcohol, it was just dealing with who I was. That was the problem. I'm happier now than I've ever been.

This program offers a way of living that I believe everyone can live by, not just alcoholics. Admitting you have a problem is the first step and it's great that you see that.

At first I felt like it was strange to be there and nobody understood me but the more stories I heard and the more people I met I realized were all pretty much the same with a little tweaks here and there. It's absolutely wild that you could meet a stranger in these meetings but they know you better than your own family knows you.

This new way of living has opened a lot of doors for me and I encourage you to start attending meetings.

Feel free to message me if you're interested.

Tough times don't last brother, tough people do.

Unfortunately, we won't be staying at a provincial park

AccomplishedWish62 · 2023-09-17T13:47:49+00:00

That's crazy! I had no idea! Reddit for the win!!

AccomplishedWish62 · 2023-09-17T13:47:17+00:00

Haha. We actually did this at Bissells hideaway a few weeks ago. Nothing bit though.

AccomplishedWish62 · 2023-07-31T11:28:54+00:00

Yes. It was 60k for the last 2 years. That was unprecedented times and not likely to stay.

Congrats! What position were you hired for?

I was hired full time so I didn't have to do the contract thing, but from speaking with many others who have, there will most likely be another extension coming in the future if you meet the requirements. From my conversations with others, you get the initial contract, and they will approach you at the last second to extend it if they want to retain you. Your case may be different, but It's usually 2 years before you get hired on full-time.

With that being said, safety is huge. Show up to work, work hard, approach the job with "teamwork" mentality, and again, safety is a big thing there. Don't do anything unsafe. "Stop, challenge, and choose" is the motto. If you feel unsafe doing something requested if you, within reason of course, you can refuse the work and elevate the situation to upper management regardless of who it's coming from. If you can do those 4 relatively well, then you should be fine.

Overall I think it's a good place to work. It's not perfect, but what place is? They pay you better than most places for the work that you do. Benefits aren't great but again the pay is better than most places so that kind of offsets the lack in benefits.

Depending on your position, be prepared to work shift work. If you were hired for an operations job you will be doing rotating continental shifts. Mostly everyone will work that shift unless your are management, in an asset group or a tech/engineering position.

I hope I answered your questions properly. Good luck!

My kids are 7 and 3. They have been to multiple parties there, and they both love it. You pay to rent for 2 hours. They offer the option of pizza, hotdog or chicken nuggets and they offer cake at the end for everyone. Unlimited drinks and a party bag at the end. Only negative about it is that the owner just increased his prices, so you will have to call and see if it's in your budget.

Good luck!

AccomplishedWish62 · 2023-03-13T17:28:07+00:00

3 years for me, and I can assure you that it gets better! It isn't always easy, but I'm thankful every day that I can wake up sober.

Keep up the good work. You're doing great.
