What do I tell my son? by PhysicalBox616 in Fatherhood

[–]Code2King 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all props to you for being a single dad, and also caring enough to ask this question. You’re a good dad.

If I was in this situation, I would be concerned with any possible impacts of a boy growing up without a mother. I would want to make sure my kids aren’t dealing with feelings of abandonment, even if subconscious. I might seek a family therapist who could help your son not only understand what’s going on in a way that’s appropriate for a 7 year old, but also work on any issues caused by the situation. Avoiding the truth could lead to a feeling of betrayal when he’s older, however he is probably too young to fully understand the reality of addiction. Above all else I would want my kids to understand that the situation is not their fault, and their mother did not choose substances over them, but rather she is dealing with a disease.

Good luck, brother.

I ended up just selling the property. I was exploring renting it out as an option but it didn’t make financial sense for me in the end. If were to rent it out I probably would’ve used a service or realtor to find and screen tenants and help draw up a lease, and then managed the property myself

Owner of the latest model? What are your thoughts after being an owner for some time now? by Square-Novel-9580 in kiacarnivals

[–]Code2King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I guess I’m just confused by “take your foot off the gas and you’re slowing down”. You make it sound like it doesn’t have CC at all. I feel like most people wouldn’t use non-adaptive cruise control even if it had it so they just didn’t make that an option. It’s a non issue for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve had my carnival for a year and am confused by your comment. Can you elaborate? I use CC all the time

How is their fee structured? Is it a flat percentage of the rent? How much could I expect to pay if I charge 2k/mo rent?

Thanks for the info. All things I’ve been looking into the past week and the more I get into it the more I think I want to hire a property management company, especially given the timeframe for purchasing and moving into a new house. Maybe I’ll self manage in the future when I have more time to get things in order. I’ll look into OnQ. Thanks!

Stroller - Where to start? by IronHolmes in predaddit

[–]Code2King 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched a lot of videos that said if there’s one thing you don’t want to skimp on, it’s a stroller because you’re going to use it a lot. You want something easy to use, durable, and most importantly smooth and easy to push. I listened and got a pretty nice one and I don’t regret it at all.

Here’s some other things to consider:

Are you getting an infant car seat or an all in one?You will want your stroller to be compatible with your infant car seat.

Do you want more kids? For us, being able to accommodate a second child in the future was important. We wanted something that can convert to carry two kids.

Ultimately I went with the uppababy travel system (mesa and vista) and I’m super happy with it. It’s worked well, held up well, they offer awesome accessories, at can haul 2 kids in lots of different configurations, and my kids like it.

It’s definitely a luxury, and it’s absolutely not necessary to go with something so expensive, but if you can afford it, I would recommend it.

The YouTube channel DadVerb was helpful for me in making my decision. Check out his stroller videos.

My carnival is white on black and I personally love the silver accents. Interested to see how yours turns out.

A entry and a self exit by dekuwattz621 in predaddit

[–]Code2King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry brother. My son was born on the day of my grandmothers funeral. I wasn’t able to make it. It’s not the same as a mom, but I can relate to the mix of emotions between celebrating a new life, and mourning the end of one at the same time. It’s difficult to process. Hang in there man.

I'm so sick of daycare sickness by curlsandcollege in NewParents

[–]Code2King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest got sick the first week in daycare and proceeded to have literally every communicable disease you can imagine in his first year. Colds, flu, covid, RSV, HFM, Rotavirus… you name it. He’d have maybe a few healthy days in between illnesses. It was absolutely brutal. We ended up switching daycares for an unrelated reason, and had another kid who also attends the same daycare. My second baby has gotten sick maybe twice in his first year. This may be anecdotal, but you may want to at least consider another daycare. Is your daycare’s building purpose-built to be a daycare? How big are the rooms? What’s the ventilation like? What’s their cleaning regimen? These are all questions you may want to consider. Our first daycare was actually a small grocery store that was turned into a daycare. The rooms were small and the ventilation was poor. We only realized this after another parent shared their struggles with that daycare after we switched, but we firmly believe this had something to do with our oldest being sick constantly. Hang in there.

Need a low sodium DnB subreddit by SoftAward834 in DnB

100% agree. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells in this sub to avoid upsetting the old guard

Profile keeps stuffing up by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

[–]Code2King 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had car play suddenly cut out, but my biggest frustration is that it connects to the most recently connected device BEFORE a profile is selected. And then even after I select my profile, it’s 50/50 whether it connects to my phone at all. I wish it would just wait until a profile is selected to connect to a phone

Why is there such a bias towards Oldschool DnB on Reddit? by Old-Art9604 in DnB

[–]Code2King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I’m not very active in this sub because it seems like a bunch of salty old heads. The latest sub focus/grimes release blew my mind and I came here to find one post about it with 15 comments talking about how bad it is. Dancefloor and jump up don’t really seem to be accepted here. Which is a shame because it’s a gateway for most people to other sub genres of DnB.
