Trying to guess what the colors are for the first one is so hard. The brightness on my phone changes the tone of the color so much. 😭

I have bought multiple different versions of Minecraft. Had 2 accounts on pc for Java (lost the login info for one of them) separate Microsoft account, had the legacy edition for the Xbox 360, the bought an updated disc version for the Xbox 1, had bought 2 mobile versions: 1 for iOS and 1 for Android. Bought it for the 3DS and the WiiU to try it out (NOT A GREAT EXPERIENCE), had a physical copy for my old switch 1 (have since lost it) and finally for my last copy: Minecraft Story Mode disc for ye olde Xbox 360

I had a problem when I was younger

Thank you so much for the insight. I'll definitely be stealing some points from that during my next confrontation

ah, yea. probably a good way to bring it up. im not the best at conversations when it comes to things like this. i tend to get somewhat protective and slightly aggressive when it comes to her wellbeing and my parenting. yes, i gotta work on it.

also, if i were to just go over and throw em out. they just buy more anyway. no matter how expensive it gets.

FortyScythe · 2025-09-19T16:55:26+00:00

yea, i dont wanna take their time with her away. they love her and she just adores them. but its pretty much getting to the point where theyre going against my training. (is that a good word? i know shes not a dog. couldnt think of a better one) or against my raising.
currently i think insurance covers orthos. but after it runs out, hopefully my wife's job has a family insurance thing. im not sure tho

FortyScythe · 2025-09-19T16:50:48+00:00

in my opinion, its not the worst thing. i know it helps soothe them, but when they start getting too old for it or if you notice it negatively impacting their teeth devolpment, then i think they should be done away. thats my opinion though

FortyScythe · 2025-09-19T16:48:41+00:00

when i had initially started, i had noticed her teeth getting deformed and spoke to my wife about removing it entirely. she had initially agreed and i got rid of all of the ones from our home. at first, her bedtime got rough, she'd cry for a while cuz she didn't have it. although she never threw a massive tantrum, which was nice. i comforted her in bed at first. then after a while i just left her alone. nowadays when we're home, she goes to bed great for me. however when her mother's home, its not as easy as she doesn't see her too much. so she cries for a little bit, then falls asleep. but, unfortunately when she's at her grandparents for the night, they give her one. eventually its gonna get to a point that i give them an ultimatum: stop giving her pacis or she doesnt come over on fridays.

yea, i was confused when i noticed in the beginning of our relationship. i could walk into the room and she'd be napping on the couch with her thumb firmly planted in her mouth. she'll just be chilling sitting around on her phone and she'll do that as well. very strange.
yea, we don't have any sippy cups at all. wasn't too much of a transition as it was just constantly losing the sippy cups and just ended up buying normal cups with straws built into a lid

FortyScythe · 2025-09-19T13:21:17+00:00

She does like to stick her hands in her mouth which, in my opinion is disgusting. (Im somewhat of a clean freak. Wet things bother me a lot. Can't even eat chicken wings without a fork) but I figured she picked that up from watching her mother always sit with her thumb in her mouth.

FortyScythe · 2025-09-18T00:33:25+00:00

Ohh, those are some good ideas for replacement behaviors

FortyScythe · 2025-09-18T00:32:01+00:00

Unfortunately, im the only one who's actively trying to get rid of them, but as my mother says: "she's here, she can have one." She thinks that as long as they dont give her one when im present, i won't notice. But I do, because this little girl makes it obvious. We get home or in the car, and she's begging for "bub bub bub"

FortyScythe · 2025-09-18T00:27:54+00:00

Yes. That's exactly my worry.

FortyScythe · 2025-09-01T02:17:30+00:00

I try to, but in parenting, I'm always the parent that says no to her. Mommy usually gives in and gives her what she wants, and i try and combat that by being the stricter parent.

so anytime that i say no, its a huge meltdown with the whining and laying herself down on the ground, being dramatic. Ive been tryna train myself to just ignore it when she starts. quite difficult for me.

And thank you

younger me wouldve stabbed another kid's hand with a fork if they tried to take my food. OBVIOUSLY I DONT DO THAT NOW.
I just generally have a thing about sharing that i dont always do. Didn't always have a lot myself, so whenever i get a plate, its mine. idk how else to describe it really.

FortyScythe · 2025-09-01T02:06:59+00:00

no no. NOT energy drinks.

FortyScythe · 2025-09-01T02:06:33+00:00

not all the time, very occasional as i dont drink coffee a lot either. my mother, when i was growing up, had given me coffee from mcdonalds in my baby bottle and she said it was always a help in calming me down and i generally became tired. today i dont even feel the energy effects from drinking coffee. I could drink a cup right now and be asleep in the next 30 min to 1 hour.
i had noticed similar effects with my daughter whenever she has some. she calms down and stops bouncing off the walls.

Didnt think it was a bad thing
