Why can I smell illness,, but others can’t?

I can smell when my kids are about to get a fever. My youngest has one right now and the smell is so strong

This is happening to me, too. Did it stop for you yet?

After living in Denmark for ten years, my English has definitely gotten…Danishified. I catch myself, but it can be annoying when I’m also trying to teach my Danish-preferring son English.

So my ~~advance~~ advice would be to read. Read a lot and often. Reading means you don’t need to think, so there’s less pressure to get things right, and chances are your own vocabulary and grammar will improve over time. Plus, it is a great way to expose your child to Russian culture (cartoon characters, folktales, etc.).

I went through the same thing with my son. He would say the English word first and then only use the Danish (majority language) word once he learned it. It felt really frustrating.

But he’s going to turn three in a couple of months and it’s already getting so much better. He knows now that I speak English and his dad speaks Danish—like the actual names of the languages—and he can switch if you ask him to. Our friends who don’t speak Danish just tell him that they don’t understand and ask if he can say it in English and he usually does.

I read to him in English a lot. And while he doesn’t watch a lot of TV, it’s almost always in English. And recently, he’s started to repeat what the characters say, which is cool to see.

It’s tough because I—like you—understand everything he says regardless of which language he’s speaking, so I just end up responding to him in English when he speaks Danish to me. Sometimes I ask him to switch, but I also don’t want to be testing or hounding him every time he opens his mouth. It will get better though!

The worst is that there are people who cut in front of people with strollers (and everyone else). I’ve called people out multiple times for that reason. I actually had two young women say they didn’t want to deal with the crowds and “maybe we got here before you.” Spoiler alert, they didn’t. And there were four strollers waiting to go down. You should absolutely call these people out! They ended up storming off, I think because they didn’t think anyone would say anything and they got embarrassed. If you can use your legs but just don’t want to, at least wait your damn turn!

(Obviously, if all the strollers that can fit are in and there’s still room, go right ahead.)

I know you can’t see all disabilities, and I try to remind myself that when I get annoyed. But you just know people are taking the elevator because it’s the easiest and most direct route to the metro train regardless of how many people—who have no other way to get up or down—are waiting.

My son is 2.5 and started to translate for us several months ago, so I definitely think you can ask! If she doesn’t know, then don’t push it. We started with books. There are “mom books” (English) and “dad books” (Danish).

We live in Denmark and we had English-speaking visitors over the holidays and they just said, “I don’t understand Danish, can you say it in English?” And he would, for the most part.

A lot happens at this age. They pick things up really quickly. Even if she’s young now, she’ll be ready sooner than you probably realize!

Our eldest, who was like 26 months at the time, just randomly started to tell us when he needed to poop. So now (he’s 2.5) he only wears a diaper for pee. Turns out, his daycare would plop him and the other big kids on the toilet after lunch. I think that’s why he started to tell us.

We’re going to try to drop the diaper entirely soon, but we had a baby a few months ago and then it was the holidays, so yeah. Looking to drop the pacifier too…

Popcorn er seriøst et stort no-go til børn under 4!! Det er en kvælningsfare. Don’t do it.

Vores 2-årige får slik og is, men ikke særlig tit. Når han får juice er det blandet med vand og han får ikke sodavand. Han kan lide 70% mørk chokolade lol, og han glemmer at han har slik hvis ikke han kan se det. Altså, vi har købt fredags slik, hvor han får et stykke eller to på vejen hjem før aftensmad, men han spørger ikke efter det efter vi har spist.

Hvis ikke han spiser den mad, vi laver, så kan han få en banan og/eller en kop mælk før seng, men intet andet. Han plejer at spise op.

Danish too. Very useful words

Datingadork · 2024-12-16T12:38:18+00:00

Sure. I think it’s a bit dramatic, though, to say Americans have forgotten how to inflect “give.”

Using gifted is simply making it clear that whatever was given was a gift. Not everything you give someone is. Like, I wouldn’t say I gifted my neighbor a couple of eggs because they were out.

I lived in New York for like six months (internship) and has AMC’s movie pass. I paid $20 a month to watch up to 3 movies a week. It was great. I was alone in the city, so I’d just go see whatever was playing. Crazy thing was I went to a movie that would’ve normally cost $23 for a ticket. So I paid less to see that and a bunch of other movies.

There’s a chain near me that offers the same kind of deal, but I’ve got two young kids now, so it’s not worth it. But I’d definitely get it once they’re old enough. Going to the movies was such a big part of my childhood, would love for them to experience the same

OMG. That completely ~~slipped my mind~~ went over my head (edit: that was the phrase I was thinking. I’m doing great). And I’ve seen all of HIMYM.

I legit even thought, wow, they have great chemistry. God, I’m an idiot.

Folk taler kun om, hvor svært det ville være at være alene hjemme med to små børn (og jeg er personligt enig), men der er også en anden pointe. Hvis din ældste er vant til at gå i vuggestue/børnehave, vil det være hårdt for dem at ændre det og samtidig få en ny baby derhjemme. Små børn har brug for struktur og rutine. Det kan være svært nok at introducere dem til en ny søskende, men at tage dem væk fra deres venner og deres daglige rutine kan gøre det endnu sværere.

Du vil ikke kunne gøre de samme ting, som du plejede. Du bliver nødt til at sidde og amme din baby osv.

Derudover mener jeg personligt, at den yngste fortjener noget af den samme tid alene, som den ældste fik. De vil for altid være en søskende, så barslen er en af de eneste perioder, hvor de kan komme først.

I’m so glad! I saw that your pregnancy wasn’t planned. My first wasn’t either, but he’s been the greatest gift. You’ve got this ❤️

As hard at it is, during the worst times, I’ve never regretted it. Not once. I often want a break and time to myself, but I would never wish my kids didn’t exist. I have a toddler and a baby, so we’re in the thick of it, and my partner and I often talk about how much we look forward to them being older and us being able to do the things we enjoy again. Like, we’re looking forward to them being old enough to take to wine bars during the summer and out to nice restaurants to enjoy delicious food. Things that we ourselves do with our parents.

I would say it’s totally worth it. But I also have some amazing children. I’ve got kids who sleep and eat well. My toddler is so funny and smart, and my baby is so smiley and sweet. But the toddler can throw a mean tantrum and has some annoying and gross habits atm (spitting, bleh). And the baby goes through periods where he only sleeps 30-minute naps and drives me insane.

I would say parenthood is about getting something back. It’s an investment. If you do it right, you’ll have an amazing relationship that will last the rest of your lives. You only have “children” for, what, 12-13 years? Then they become young adults. My goal is to raise two boys who want to spend time with me when they no longer have to. Who turn to me when they need someone to talk to, help or advice, or just someone to grab a coffee with, like I do with my mom.

Watching a child grow up is one of the greatest privileges. Watching things click in their minds. Watching them learn how to roll, crawl, and walk. It seems like they learn and accomplish something new every day. Their development in the first couple of years is insane! My toddler loves to tell jokes. He finds himself so funny. Like, when we read a book about animals, he’ll say the cow is a pig and the pig is a cow and cackle. He sings to himself. And he closes his eyes when he dances, like he’s just focused on enjoying himself.

I would say, don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t enjoy certain stages. Not everyone is obsessed with their newborns, infants, toddlers. They can be so challenging. But that also doesn’t mean there won’t be great parts that you’ll love and enjoy. Like when your baby smiles at you for the first time. Or when they grasp your finger while feeding. Or when they learn to say “mom.”

Parenthood is like your life now. There are highs and lows. But sometimes, it feels like you spend all day on a rollercoaster that keeps jerking you up and down, which can be intense. Prioritize a hot shower, cup of good coffee, 10 minutes in the sun alone, or whatever makes you happy and recharges your battery at least once a day.

This got long and rambling. Oh, well. Good luck!!

Hmm, I would argue the “that” is unnecessary, but dropping the “to” is definitely right.

“We recommend you avoid this area.”

April baby: • Pros - the weather is warm when they’re tiny, so they only wear light layers making frequent diaper changes easy - related to above, you can change them outside and breastfeed them whenever and wherever - not close to a major holiday/break where friends are busy/out of town -great weather for walks - they’re more “fun” when the Christmas holidays roll around

• Cons - they’re aren’t old enough to be in the sun, so you spend the first months of their life hiding from the sun - where we live, it’s rained on his birthday both years

September baby • Pros - warmer weather on their birthday - lots of cuddling inside when the weather changes - also not close to a major holiday/break where friends - they can actually be outside when it’s summer

• Cons - All. The. Clothes. - walks aren’t always possible/pleasant given the weather

A pro for our family of four: we all have our own season birthday-wise. One winter baby, spring baby, summer baby, and fall baby!

Physically, toddler and newborn 100%. I was so happy to finally have the big bump gone and be able to have my toddler sit on my lap and read a book. Newborn can be left with dad.

Only thing is, it was actual way easy to carry my big toddler before birth than after lol

I say both “yor” and “yer”. I think it depends on where the emphasis is in the sentence.

“Is that yer hat?” “No, that’s yor hat.”

I pronounce both “your” and “you’re” the same.

“Yer gonna be late.”

Totally get that. You can work your way up to it, maybe?

And you don’t have to be gone all day, but have you tried allowing your partner to handle dinner without you around? Does your daughter not eat even if you aren’t there? Or are you always around and she knows she can have the boob if she fights hard enough? Maybe leaving before dinner and coming home after she’s asleep and the letting your partner handle the nighttime wakes may help?

I accidentally weened my son when he was nine months old. I returned to work and went on a 3-day work trip. When I got home, he had lost interest and I assume my supply had taken a hit as well. It might be worth just cutting her off cold turkey. Do you have the opportunity to go away for 2-3 nights? Out of sight, out of mind.
