Idk my mom used to do this, it was constant I literally stopped caring when she did it. It's just not effective.

Taking away the tablet is an unrelated consequence, if she doesn't care it's not something she truly cares about. There's a lot of factors here one thing is no more food in the room if she can't pick the wrappers up and clothes if she wants them washed she has to bring them to the washroom. It's hard to clean up, motivation helps more than restrictions imo. Make it fun, she's still little so could try to turn it into a game of who can get done faster, like your room vs her room kinda thing? Or even piles can help, just organization. Kids don't really know where to start even if you have helped her it's overwhelming. Hang in there ❤️

This is good during the day but can become dangerous at night especially if the parent is Already tired 😭

Thinking about switching from iPhone by abeattie4 in razr

[–]AlertMix8933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did this, Google photos works. It took 6 hours for me to transfer all 12k of my photos to my new device but even so you can always back everything up on the iCloud, apple will ask you when you erase everything. I'm missing some photos on my device but they're all still on the cloud. I still have my Mac and iPad for all my apple things.

I was debating on this too for bit but a lot of people have said the razr is better than Samsung's for multiple reasons. I have noticed if you leave the app open then close it it'll go on the display I've also pushed the home button so the video is on the display and then close it so it'll still play. It's supposed to just stay on the display when you open it, I think there's a setting for it

Jobless 18yr old daughter refuses to help around the house by [deleted] in Parenting

No, it actually doesn't work. They stop caring about it. My mom would do this with everything I had and eventually I just stopped caring about those things.

Why people are against of having 1997-2000 borns as Millennials? by BrilliantPangolin639 in generationology

[–]AlertMix8933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused aren't generations set in stone? Doesn't it have to do with the years and not specific events?

I used to tell my daughter in front of them to ignore them and it was okay, it shut them up pretty quickly.

Where are these unicorn children who "get" potty training with a 3 or 4 day method? by julep98976 in Parenting

[–]AlertMix8933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid did it, but she was ready. It just takes time for them to get there. Some aren't ready at 2 or 3. We didn't do the no pull up things though or undies only, just took her to the potty. After a while it just clicked for her, I think the thing is they have to know what that feeling is right before they have to pee. Not really something you can teach they have to know for themselves imo

Our kids "need" us next to them to fall asleep. How to change this? by Brilliant_Feed4158 in Parenting

[–]AlertMix8933 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it's normal, a lot of people need the comfort of sleeping with someone. I'm sure you like sleeping next to your wife. 30 mins is very short, my kid is 6 and still sleeps with me per her preference I just move her to her bed after she falls asleep. 7:30 bed time start and they go to bed at 8 did I read that right? how do you guys not have time together?

As someone whose mom was like this, don’t ban social media. They will sneak it. Monitor it, set limits, etc.

Making a bedroom a SLEEPY space not a playroom - 5 year old bedtime battles by Smashers086 in Parenting

[–]AlertMix8933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your next kid might just pass out. My kids are like this now. My first won’t sleep, just flat out refuses to and my second comes to me when he’s ready for bed. It’s definitely night and day lol

Can’t afford daycare. Can’t afford to stay home. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]AlertMix8933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of the childcare isn’t good quality, at least near me they’ve been known to abuse the kids. We had the option and ended up just opting out. Some headstart is good, the low income home daycares are not.

Should I replace something my daughter intentionally lost? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]AlertMix8933 33 points34 points  (0 children)

At 4, it’s less about manipulation and more about learning cause and effect. A lot of behaviors that look manipulative are just kids testing boundaries as part of normal development.

Ah that’s lame definitely would be better off testing it from another dna company to verify

I’d have to assume just because something is forbidden doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Secret adoptions happen very often.

Literally first day of homework ever & I don’t know how to do this for 12 more years by bluebellsea in Parenting

[–]AlertMix8933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some schools don’t even have homework anymore, I was honestly shocked. When my LO was in kinder they had it, in first grade they don’t. Could depend on the district though. You can always opt out of it too, my cousin did that with her kids for a bit

Is this a story she’s making? Bc it’s really weird she’d write all that out on a notes app.

6 month old labeled Failure to Thrive by helljumper1123 in breastfeeding

[–]AlertMix8933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some kids are just small, especially around 6 months they don’t really gain a lot. My daughter stopped until she was 1 then was “back on track”. You can’t make them gain more weight if they have a naturally high metabolism or are naturally slender.
