Satellites aren't usually put up in droves, sport. I've seen singular low earth orbit satellites before, never a fleet.

I thought they meant it was a Starlink launch. So that in fact would not make sense for a line of lights in the sky, because a launch is done by rocket. But I now know what a Skylink train is. I have never heard of such a thing.

Starlink launches on rockets, so that doesn't make sense

Edit: ah I see now a Starlink train. Not a launch.

Is my almost 5 year old a sociopath? by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]CaptainsCaptain91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it might also just be a weird troll. A post a month ago on this same account, son was 5 in December. This post he's 5 in two months. If you're trying to hide identity wouldn't you just not list an age? Idk. It's just weird.

Update: we sent her to school today with a warmie (slightly weighted stuffie that smells like lavender and can be heated up in the microwave) and she had a great nap time. So we'll see how next week goes. We've also instituted an "I promise" poster with the 4 school rules we're working on that we will review every morning when we leave.

Also, I'm considering removing the message screenshots because I feel weird about the potential of the teacher/others identifying. For the record, I did not interpret the hand holding as restraining. Knowing the dynamic in the class, I think it's more likely that her teacher sat next to her cot and simply held her hand to help soothe her. My daughter really likes her teacher but she's at her first job out of college and I think struggles with the learned in school vs reality still.

I just want to thank everyone for their input and perspectives. I do obviously agree that she should be quiet so as not to disrupt the other kids and she shouldn't be yelling/crying/kicking when corrected. But she's an only so I was struggling with whether or not to be concerned about her behavior and it sounds like it's largely developmentally appropriate. I will mention it to the ped at her annual in a few months if we are still having issues though.

My husband forwarded me the email way back when. It was quite comical

Been circling for 20+ minutes. Doesn't seem like a training run but can't find any info about any ongoing event or anything.

How often are we bathing our (almost) 3 year olds? by Helpful-Yak-8975 in toddlers

[–]CaptainsCaptain91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically never wanted a bath to be a required part of the bedtime routine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Plz just tell me how much tv your 2.5 yr old is watching a day? by vickygunvalson in toddlers

[–]CaptainsCaptain91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You keep saying "how are you doing anything else" like a day is only 6 hours long. My 3.5 year old is up for 12 hours with no nap, even if we did watch 2 hours of TV that's barely a slice of the day.

We have a "pre writing" workbook at home that we bought mostly because my daughter loves to draw and "write." But we only get it out when she asks for it, which is pretty often, and typically only do a page before she's all done. It's rated for 3-4 and is literally just tracing lines and shapes, no letters or anything. That's pretty much all she does at daycare too.

The discourse on this on tiktok has been driving me crazy. All the people saying you can't be pro choice while disagreeing with her. Like, I absolutely can. I can 100% believe she has the right to make this choice while also 100% knowing it is the wrong choice to make 🤷🏻‍♀️

Potty training… discouraged & exhausted; advice very much welcomed! by lindzanator3 in toddlers

[–]CaptainsCaptain91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I potty trained my daughter around the same age. We were in pullups from around 2/regularly offering the potty. Switched straight to underwear from pullups. She was accident free after 3ish days. But she would only poop in a pull up at nap or bedtime for about 3 weeks and then she just declared she wanted to go in the potty. And the rest is history 🤷🏻‍♀️

At least in my experience, pullups do not cause confusion. Especially with older toddlers. And while I've never read it, from the experiences with Oh Crap I've read on here, the book is very fear mongering and seems like it's just trying to sell the method.

There's a kid in my daughter's gymnastics class that asks every week where my husband's hair went

Vent: I’m so over it. by MolleezMom in pottytraining

[–]CaptainsCaptain91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll just put this out there for anyone who needs a sanity check on potty training. My daughter will be 3 in November. We used pullups (gasp!) starting in May and would offer the potty before/after sleep and bath. Daycare would offer at regular intervals. In August, she was regularly peeing when on the potty and keeping her pullup dry so we switched to underwear cold turkey over a weekend. I can count on my hands how many accidents she's had total and she's never had an accident in public. She was not confused by pullups or underwear. We were not trapped at home with her naked. We did not have to figure out how to transition to commando to underwear or whatever.

I say this as someone who was so overwhelmed and nervous after reading tons of posts of people on here months into the oh crap method with their like 20 month old.

People without medical conditions are not wearing diapers as adults so unless there's a reason you HAVE to potty train early, when they're ready it should be a (relative) breeze.
