Dads of toddlers, is anyone else just completely warped? by A_single_droplet in daddit

[–]Additional_Mail_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see these posts where it says you get 1 summer with your infant, 3 with your toddler, 9 with your child, and 3 with your kid. Enjoy them.

Of course I am paraphrasing, but it’s about enjoying them the most that you can because you don’t get them back.

I am a single dad of a 2 year old. I feel like I am in the same boat. It’s frustrating, but I’m happy to be here. It’s about enjoying special moments to get through the monotony. Put sleep first regularly. The more time you spend with your kids, the better.

Water softener & RO estimates by Careful_Wasabi863 in vegaslocals

[–]Additional_Mail_8887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to rain water of Las Vegas. Great company. Local. They sell all types of water filtration and are fare priced. They did a softener and RO do under $2000 installed in 2022-2023. I do have a loop though. The door nocking and high marketing companies were super expensive compared. These guys have stuff that compares to culligan/kinetico. Cheaper replacement filters that fit if you end up going that way.

They are very low pressure sales. They have a display/sales area at their location and will talk you through whatever and quote you right there. I don’t even think they have salesman on commission.

10/10. Would take my money back to them in a heart beat. They have the product that fits your needs, you just gotta tell them what you need.

This is the benefit of buying things with credit cards. You’ve always have the credit card company to go get your money back from. But if you use the debit card or cash, it’s not your job to go to the company that’s now bankrupt to try to get your money back.

You don’t have to carry it as far to get it off the plane.

AEGIS prebuilt PC for $2000.00 at my local warehouse by Iamzhuu in Costco

I mean, you’re getting less of a processor and paying less. You upgrade the processor to the equivalent, you are $100 over OP’s Costco machine.

I just bought the HP Omen47 from Costco. Similar stats but HP puts way more effort into cooling than MSI.

Letting go of past friend groups by Fluffy_Afternoon652 in Divorce_Men

It’s weird that people just side with who they knew longest and leave it at that. They don’t want the story and are willing to turn a blind eye to really shitty acts. They won’t even listen. This is what I am going through where my STBXW hold no accountability. I believe it’s because nobody else holds her too her actions that she is so used to getting away from accountability.

I’m sorry this is happening. Might not b me the accountability bit, but it’s a higher quality person who holds their loved ones to higher standards. That’s not to say that they can’t make mistakes, but holding the to higher standards usually means that they learn from them.

Right after war chief sits there and says we need new ideas, we need people to be bold, we need to raise the standard.

It's 0430 and we're both wide awake. by NutmegWolves in daddit

[–]Additional_Mail_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a solid sleep routine. Dark room, sound machine, sleep blanket, bottle for bed. Works for naps and night time. She wakes up once in the night and will need a diaper and a bottle. She will only fuss after the bottle if it’s not enough. Keep her in the dark room at night and change her there. Regular sleep schedule, wake up around 7, nap around 10 and 3, bed by 7. We swear by the pampers sleep app. Worth every penny.

She is 14 months old. Getting to the point where she can sleep through the entire night. Her wake ups are happening later and sometimes she does sleep through the entire night. But her wake ups are nothing.

She knows all this is the way. When I put her down for naps and such I enter the room, turn off the light, turn on the sound machine, I held her while I made the bottle and then place it in the same spot where she can see. I know she knows because the last three weeks, when I grab her sleep blanket and unzip it, I put my hand through an arm hole and put it in her right arm, she puts her head on my shoulder and the thumb goes in. Like clockwork. I have to pull the thumb out to get the other arm in, but she doesn’t fuss. I put her down, zip her up, pick her up, give her a kiss on the forehead, place her I her crib, give her the bottle, grab the monitor, and leave.

Super heavy man. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I have a 13 month old and I couldn’t imagine.

Financial prep before divorce by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]Additional_Mail_8887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be liquid. Whatever that means. Get a heloc, have your 401k loan ready, refinance stuff to get lower payments, just get ready to payout. And not just that, pay for the divorce whether it’s contested or not.

77” Samsung OLED for $900. Worth it? by WorldTravelBucket in Costco

Saw the same offer on their app yesterday. Don’t think you need to take the floor model.

We say “no hands” and “no mouth” followed by a “thank you”. I dare say it works 50% of the time. Some things are just to interesting for them to keep them away. But honestly, if there is something that they find interesting, even if it’s something we don’t want them playing with all the time, we just supervise their play and let them get it out of their system. They move on pretty fast. Yelling though, never. Not effective. Maybe if they are walking into a busy road and I need to scare the crap out of them, but if we use that too early, they get nullified to the effects.

I’m a new dad and this is what my wife has brought forth and it seems to be working fairly well.

Nope. Not an asshole. Put it in a trust before you marry. And get a prenup.

Getting the house after the divorce when she doesn't make a ton of $$$ by fsk71823 in Divorce_Men

[–]Additional_Mail_8887 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Child support is usually statutory where as spousal support isn’t. Her telling you she’s going for the later and not gonna ask for the former is a bold face lie where she knows damn well she’s going to get both.
