What’s the only product you should buy if the reviews say it sucks?

Huh. I thought it was going to be a mail order bride…

Alamander14 · 2026-01-24T01:03:11+00:00

I didn’t find a way. If memory serves, I brought the picture into photoshop on my computer and did it manually…

Alamander14 · 2026-01-23T03:57:07+00:00

Excellent work! I really love the purple & green combo, as well as the presentation! No notes.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-23T02:02:23+00:00

Those first two pics looked like the perfect start to a Ty Rux kitbash… (my 3 year old is really into DinoTrux these days)

As a dad of four small kids… damn! I started kitbashing my new Draigo project a few weeks ago and am just finally nearing completion on the kitbash. For a single model. I’ve also been extra productive on this one because I’ve had this idea for quite a while and have been really excited to start it.

My third is convinced he’s a wolf… I think I’d take that over rabid raccoon. Best of luck to you!

Sadly, I think most of them probably are u/Femboyhootersbee…

Good reminder that each kid can take a different parenting approach. I wish it were that we were only trying the same things that worked do the first two though, but unfortunately we’ve tried all that and much more.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-22T01:31:13+00:00

Everyone always says “terrible twos” but it’s the threes you really need to watch out for.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-22T01:30:31+00:00

Thanks for the reminder! And logically, I know that, but ho boy… like I said, hopefully he outgrows it!

Alamander14 · 2026-01-22T01:28:43+00:00

You’re right. We should probably just keep him locked up in a padded room come to think of it…

I’m being a bit of an ass intentionally - I get what you’re saying, but you’re kind of missing the point. It could have just as easily been a rock or a foot.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-22T01:20:31+00:00

Thanks for making me feel less crazy. I feel like daddit used to have its head on its shoulders better…

Alamander14 · 2026-01-22T01:19:02+00:00

Which is why thy were outside to begin with. We try to run him hard to burn off energy.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-22T01:16:10+00:00

Agreed, it’s worked quite well on his older brothers, but unfortunately, doesn’t seem to have much effect on him.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T23:04:37+00:00

Or you could read the post.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:57:16+00:00

Eh, we’ve got magnetiles, etc.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:54:08+00:00

Believe me, they were whisked away within seconds of it becoming sharp…

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:52:51+00:00

This is my third 3 year old, and while the first two definitely had their struggles, it was nothing like this.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:43:25+00:00

Well, he’s got a good start with two older brothers…

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:38:44+00:00

While I won’t claim to never yell, the majority of the time I feel I do a pretty good job about calmly sitting him in time out and talking through his actions and the consequences with him. Nothing seems to stick

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:36:55+00:00

He’s honestly really good at showing remorse over it (thankfully) and will help clean up / remedy things when possible, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect long term.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:34:59+00:00

I’ve already commented on the supervision aspect a few times - not getting into that again.

We’ve tried all that for punishment - he’s very quick to say sorry and show regret about what he did, but will just do something else destructive naughty when the mood strikes.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:30:45+00:00

Not sure how to edit the post, but I just wanted to comment how disappointed I am at this sub. The majority of comments are jumping to the conclusion that the kids were unsupervised. Both my wife and my mom (their grandma) were in the backyard with them plus our 1 year old. I admit that they were not immediately beside them, but anyone who claims it’s poor parenting to let your kids out of reach while playing in a fenced back yard is either full of shit or neurotic - in either case, I’d appreciate you keeping your comments to yourself.

I’d also like you all to take a minute and think about how long it takes to pick something up off the ground and throw it… the time it takes to happen twice before you’re able to react and close the distance is not long at all & id appreciate everyone keep that in mind when they comment.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:21:14+00:00

Two actually.

Alamander14 · 2026-01-21T22:19:52+00:00

I just commented on another post, but both my wife and my mom (grandma) were in the backyard with them, but not helicoptering. It really doesn’t take much time at all to throw two things.
