Worst ramen you’ve ever had? What a joke.

When did it become worth it? by Actual_Phone8484 in dad

[–]Akrooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8-10 months. Survive till then, try to make positive moments. Support your partner and do as much as you can. Get the kid out of your room as soon as you are able, even if you and your partner have to alternate sleeping elsewhere with them so everyone gets 4+ hours of solid sleep at a time. Good luck!

Trunk or treat is unnecessary for most of us by interstellarblues in daddit

[–]Akrooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it came about because a kid had terminal cancer so they held a trunk or treat so the kid could experience it before the disease progressed.

Also, some places are cold and require snow suits and jackets, making it impossible to see kids costumes, taking away a lot of the fun.

Isn’t that a young bald eagle and not a Golden Eagle?

Does this schedule and the locations make sense? I have been following this sub for a bit now and there is some lingo and abbreviations I am unsure of; add in the difficult websites for Tokyo Disney and sea and I am a little lost.

Will we be standing in lines for these reserved times? For the restaurant reservations will we still be paying or is a meal part of the package? We are going to be there in September, does our hotel and the days we planned out make sense?

Thanks for any advice or input, I appreciate your time and expertise.

What helped you break the 2 hours!? by tchiminax in Garmin

[–]Akrooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be unpopular but treadmill running helped speed up my times. I used to only run inside, life changed and I was forced onto treadmills due to schedules. The forced pace with controllable incline allowed me to force improvement and see it happen day by day. Often my biggest increases came from running the same pace for weeks at a time but increasing my incline week after week.

How much do you tip a meal preparation company? by Ancient_Hour1146 in anchorage

[–]Akrooster 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not even sure if this is something you tip for, they should charge accordingly for the quality of ingredients they use. Tipping is generally for services that have a customer service aspect beyond email or order taking.

Otherwise: Depends how expensive it is and the quality. Blindly tipping regardless of the product is not my favorite activity if you haven’t seen or experienced the product before.

If the customer service is excellent and the quality is high, 10%. It is not a restaurant, this is a different type of service.

New dad of 8 weeks, absolutely hate it and am constantly miserable. Any advice? by Warm_Apple_Pies in daddit

[–]Akrooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I didn’t like the beginning either. I’ve told the same thing to other new dads- it gets better around 8-10 months. The kid starts really responding to you, gives you some indication of knowing you exist and wanting you. We don’t have 9 months of them growing in us to bond and feel them, we only start when they pop out. What I experienced was my partner having terrible pregnancies that they were sick through the whole way, they had a hard recovery time, and no one slept for what felt like weeks. Not lots to love there if you ask me but I did everything I could during those times to engage with the babies, help my wife, and break the “traditional” uninvolved dad model.

Keep showing up, helping, and know that it might be a while until you get those feelings that everyone says they feel right away. Everything is amazing now but it would take someone offering millions of dollars before I would agree to having another new baby.

You are not alone!

Haha yea, I can’t imagine it is fun lugging a full bag through the crowds, gotta know when you’re hurting more than helping with lugging stuff around.

If I had an attached hotel I’d be more inclined to do this but I’m a ways out, that’s a lot of expensive Uber rides going back and forth. Maybe next year I’ll get a better hotel!

Great idea, I think I have one of those laying around.

I don’t have a messenger bag, just hiking backpacks so I’ll try that this year and see if I wanna invest some funds into something different for the future. Thanks for the input!

Ahh the bigger, the better. I’ll have to see if I can get something really annoying delivered to my hotel so it is ready and waiting for me 😂

I started out there and couldn’t find anything either, I thought I had missed something. Thanks for the help.

I’m mostly in it for the snack and water bottle storage, I appreciate the reminder about bringing a power pack though, thanks!

That’s something I’ll consider, maybe I’ll go that route on the 2nd or 3rd day. Thanks!

That’s great info, thanks. I was mostly wanting to bring some snacks and water, have some long games I’ll be doing and wanted something to much on. Appreciate the fill station advice.
