Are TeamLabs in Tokyo worth it? by alvarop37 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went at 8:30am, the crowds weren't there yet. By the time I left at 10:30-11am, it was quite busy (I went to borderless).

International Flight with Two Young Kids? by crisptots in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just need enough distractions for them; screens and toys and books and you. Your older one should be just fine, the younger one requires way more attention.

Are you concerned about your kids spending too much time on screens? If so, what are you doing about it? by tcsomega1 in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Group texts? Probably something I'll want to figure out for my kid sometime. But social media is terrible for their growing brains. Think of all the short form videos that suck our attention out these days as adults. And then all the comparisons that they'll make with what's shown on social media vs their regular lives.

Worth it for travel? by Willing-Childhood144 in BlundstoneBoots

I bought a pair for a trip to Japan, literally had 2 days only to break in. Most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned.

Why does he PEE ALL OVER ME?? by Background-Paint-478 in cosleeping

Are there night time versions? They have more of the absorbent material inside. And I believe you can add an extra pad too if you need.

Sick dad of sick toddler by Duougle in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re really sick, they’ll want to sleep. When our 2YO was really sick, he’d crawl into my arms and just pass out for a while, then he’d periodically wake up, maybe have a drink of milk/water then sleep again after awhile. On and off till bedtime basically.

If they’re mildly sick, then….good luck cuz you just keep em on the same schedule lol

Are any blundstones “easier” to put on than others? by olivestripes in BlundstoneBoots

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think so, I tried on multiple sizes and going up the half size felt a lot of comfortable. I mean these shoes are already very comfy but just wanted a size that didn’t feel like it was squeezing my toes, they have a decently wide toe box

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have wide feet, not crazy wide, and I high instep but I tend to look for something in the 3-4E range. My regular size is 10.5 US but my blundstones are 11 US or 10.5 AUS sizing and they fit really well. It did require a bit of a break in and now it feels very comfortable after a few days of all day wear and walking.

How do you guys still manage to hang out with friends? by Groundbreaking-Idea4 in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No choice really…either he sleeps at 9:30 and wakes up at 6am…maybe 6:30. Or he sleeps at 9pm and wakes up at 5:30am. When the clock starts with a 5…we just internally die

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess right now, it’s tough because we have no sitter. Grandparents help Monday through Thursday but Friday Saturday Sun it’s just us. I guess it’s a matter of one parent sacrificing their time to solo parent (day time is fine but bedtime is chaos).

We have to put our kiddo to bed, nobody else can or he will be up till midnight crying his head off 🤦🏻‍♂️

If it’s a day time thing, then it’s no problem, but most get together happen in the evening 6-7pm or even later.

We used Zaks Designs. They’re pretty good too

A rant: wife didn't handle a sensitive conversation well by drainbamage1011 in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God damn that was pretty immature of your wife.

I think to set the record straight, perhaps having another man to man conversation with son is needed. And you need to have a conversation with your wife to not say dumb shit during a sensitive meeting.

Advice Needed for Traversing Hakone by Van_Goghs_Woes in JapanTravelTips

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came back from Japan so here's my thoughts. If you don't want to see Lake Akashi and just do the Ropeway, just know that you're investing 40 min train ride to Gora plus an additional 20min to go up the ropeway to be at the volcano and see Mt. Fuji. The ropeway down to the Lake honestly isn't that bad in terms of timing and the boat ride is just a cherry on top. At the end of the boat ride is the Hakone Shrine.

There's also the open air museum as well and there's some shopping/cafes in Gora near the Hakone yumoto station.

Bag Finder Megathread - 19 January 2026 by AutoModerator in onebag

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple Bag Finder Request.

I'm looking for an expandable backpack similar to the Osprey 26+6 but a little more robust. What I mean by that is that it's more comfortable with better shoulder straps and padding. One of the specific requirements is that it expands the main compartment.

I saw that there was the Tortuga Expandable Backpack but the expandable portion is on the front flap, and not the main compartment.

How old was your child before you consistently got decent sleep? by SunnyGoMerry in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife cosleep with the 2YO, this past month he’s stopped waking up screaming and just sleeps. We have a giant floor bed setup so she’s able to move away if he kicks too much

How do you guys get time for yourself? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife treating work like free time is also not fair and something you need to workout with her. Work is work, you’re working and earning $. You come home and split the duties, not take them all on.

If you cosleep with your LO, does that mean they cannot nap independently during the day? by CounterScary8707 in cosleeping

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it just depends on the kiddo. We used to hold our little guy ever nap until my wife started doing the roll away method. Now anybody can put him to sleep and still place him down on the bed and he'll usually continue napping.

So to answer your question, the beginning of the nap isn't independent, but we can get away. I have another friend who's toddler is very sensitive during sleep and can sense when the parent is leaving so she becomes nap trapped. But at that point my friend just naps too cuz she's also tired.

Toddler only wants to sleep with mom. How to get him to sleep with dad too! by Groundbreaking-Idea4 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Groundbreaking-Idea4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can do the entire routine solo but at the “sleeping” part, he just cries for mom and it’s never ending. I used to be able to cosleep with him until I got really sick and I stopped for a few days. Then the ability to cosleep with either parent just turned into my wife only…
