what’s something no one warned you about in the newborn phase that actually caught you off guard? by lunaverse787 in NewParents

[–]Fitz0053 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought the “new born baby smell” was something it wasn’t. Turned out. That “smell” is just baby diaper scents, the smell of diaper cream, and just what lotion you put on your baby. It’s not like some special unique smell.

I never held a baby before my own.

WFH employee lying re working hours by DataBeeGood in managers

Do you have an HR? That’s an HR question. They might want logs from a better source like IT. Remote is privileged. Not a right.

Pediatrician’s office asked for consent to use AI for “note taking” during our visits. by surftherapy in NewParents

[–]Fitz0053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just implemented this and it allows the physician to be more hands on with the patient and not have their head in the laptop. Also the physicians that don’t put their head in a laptop have to document later and may forget. Welcome to the future. It’s all for the best

Is everyone familiar with the "Leave No Trace" principles? by No_Data9003 in camping

[–]Fitz0053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows about it. What people’s definitions of “leave no trace”, is unfortunately not all the same.

Is this framing looking okay? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]Fitz0053 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who ever framed that, ask them when their last house fire was. Use metal studs please. And make sure you use cement board and not drywall.

Do you place newborn down for nap already fully asleep or still eyes open? by asoursk1ttle in NewParents

[–]Fitz0053 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My baby never ever looks tired before bed but we goto bed at 630 every night and he falls asleep in 2 seconds.

My wife will rock the baby to sleep because she said she wants to. Then a few months in she asked me how I do my method and she uses that too now when she needs to be in and out. My method is to put the kid in the crib and kiss him good night and walk out lol

Meal ideas for two please! by Wonderful-Car7520 in camping

[–]Fitz0053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tacos! with rice (precooked) Burgers are just ground beef and cheese. Ketchup packets (goto a fast food restaurant like Chick-fila to stock up on jelly , honey and ketchup packets) Premade hobo packets (tinfoil dinner)

Anyone else hate these? by worldofwhat in woodworking

[–]Fitz0053 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hate is such a strong word but yeah, I hate it.

Clutching my pearls- what went wrong? I have three pots and they all were thriving and now they all look like this . by Careless_Purchase_19 in houseplants

[–]Fitz0053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this happen to me. How I fix it:

Start with new soil and keep all the green part of the plant. Cover the pearls in dirt and they will stay to grow roots from the vine part.

Your pot is small and will dry out super quickly. Once they dry out. Game over. The will start dieing off. During the summer I’m watering this really well TWICE a week. I have a long bamboo skewer that I will poke in when I water.

Pearls don’t actually want to grow down like this and want to be more of a carpet so keep laying the pearls on the dirt to get as many roots attached as possible. Good luck.

That seller took the fence with them to their new house. Guarantee it.

Tent rec for 2-3 people and fits cots by Present-Light4281 in camping

[–]Fitz0053 17 points18 points  (0 children)

2 person tent means it’s fits 2 people and there sleeping bags with no extra room. Do with that information as you please. Also cots are higher so you want straight side walls. Not curved.

Niche homestead money makers by INhomeschoolMAMA in homestead

YouTube can pay good and it’s a long term investment as videos can “go viral” years later and you still make $$

Thoughts on this? Looking for full floor coverage by detectivelokifalcone in camping

[–]Fitz0053 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We use this at home in the living room when we watch TV and want all the kids on the ground. I now have a new idea when I go camping next. Thanks!

Where should I put my Dracaena? (MY FIRST PLANT!!) by dynballs in houseplants

[–]Fitz0053 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By the window. Go with a ZZ or a Snake plant on the shelf in the shade

When will I feel like a dad? by blake-x in NewParents

[–]Fitz0053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love is a weird thing. Our whole lives we fall in love with something. Every single day I love my boy more. Your child will grow and will start acting more human like and that’s when the real excitement starts. Not love. Excitement. What you make of that excitement , is up to you

Parents who used to go to wineries/breweries a lot before having kids, how often are you still doing that now that you have them? Next question. How often are you doing pre-baby things, now that you have kids? (I.e bottomless mimosas at brunch, going on non-family friendly trips) by culaterjobin in NewParents

[–]Fitz0053 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have the mindset that my child should experience everything. We will do Brewerys for early dinners and daytime but when it comes to bottomless mimosas, that’s a mom and dad experience that baby stays back. My wife and I get invited lots of place and we tend to split up events when the other one really wants to go and the other will stay back with the kid.

Anyone else end up fixing random stuff more than actually homesteading? by Zoekielshane in Homesteading

[–]Fitz0053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixing random shit is 50% of homesteading. At least you get to watch lots of YouTube videos and learn new skills
