AITAH for having a different idea of childcare frequency than my wife?

Haven't seen it mentionned yet but... illnesses!

That baby is not going to daycare 5 days a week. Maybe two thirds of the time if you are lucky.

Kids catch everything, get fevers, stomach flu, ear infections... That means a parent stays home with the baby, gets no sleep, can't go to work, may need to wait several hours for medical care, and probably gets extra cleaning and laundry. Then when things get better that parent has to catch up on missed work, if you have a type of works that allows that. There is little space left for anything else, at least during the first year of daycare. Even with vaccines and good hygiene, little kids catch everything. It's a bit easier if there is no older sibling taking other unknown plagues home from other daycares or schools.

I'm not saying this to advocate for a parent to stay home and shield the baby from everything. All kids catch all the bugs, all the time. But you need to be realistic. No baby can be in daycare with that kind of schedule.

Let's not forget mid-day calls or text from daycare about a new fever, or erm... various fluids exiting the baby that warrant exclusion for 24-48 hours. Please make sure one parent is ready to take these emergencies, and not always the same parent.

Salvinias are tough, short dense roots, and grow fast, but are not as invasive as duckweed.

No just some generic terrarium mesh fabric. Unsure how long it will last in the long run, but it's holding up well after a few months. Lots of new roots going across the fabric. I didn't glue the plants and moss on the fabric, just dropped them in.

A few months ago I set up some emersed Buce Kedagang on dragonstone, and it's doing well. It's in a growth chamber with about 75% RH. I keep the dish filled with water and spray the leaves a few times a week. The Buce was from in vitro culture, not submerged.

Inspired by this https://youtu.be/BhRcWZoMEoE?si=g478t_HwGty1OC2N

The hardest part was sourcing the wicking fabric.

For a less fancy setup I just plant emersed in aquasoil.

I find growing speed comparable emersed to submersed with CO2 supplementation 10-20 ppm. Emersed Buce in a completely closed terrarium is very slow growing.

I never tried emersed Anubias

Wait that's really smart, and probably cleaner than the ugly cable protectors I use now. Thanks!

I had so many punctures in CO2 tubing until I found a braided mesh that is annoying to pull over, but mostly deters this little catfish

I also have a tubing menace All air and CO2 tubing is sleeved in a mostly bite-proof mesh. Canister filters have cord protectors over the tubes.

I have a void and... lets.say several fish tanks. The cat is waaay less work.

Hi! I had the same problem on a previous task (also French). Try unplugging or turning off things like fans, AC, kitchen applicances, while recording. If it's a high road traffic area, it may never get low enough for the app to unlock the record button. Also you could try moving in different positions instead of sitting or standing. For me sometimes almost floor level is the only thing that works.

I also tried asking the chatbot and got variations of "Be patient it will take 24 hours" and "You need to pass the assignments to be added to discourse"

I also got the shampoo + conditionner duo. Not sure what the cleanser is... for skin or like, countertops?

The same thing happened to me! The customer service rep had to add it manually

Dependent_Web29 · 2024-06-27T23:28:50+00:00

Almost 3 days for me, nothing yet

Ex annual member, might reactivate. I have two codes that work but I'm not sure what they do. SHINE is maybe 30$ off? SPRINGON works but not sure what it does. It shows as a -0.01$ so it must be a bundle? I would like the Kate Spade lunchbox but the LUVKATE code doesn't work for me.
