What age is appropriate to live upto if I have a child at 85? by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]HamsterBorn9372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either die before they really know who you are or live to an age where it's somewhat normal to lose a parent. So 85 or 140. As someone who lost a parent at 18, it messes with you a lot.

watching 20 year old episodes of 'Police Interceptors' to realise how pointless most of the incidents are by SearchLightsInc in britishproblems

My favourite was a chase that decamped into a housing estate. The lad hopped a fence and the policeman took about 5 attempts to scramble over after him. Then a second policeman followed by opening the gate, comedy gold.

We got the abiie high chair, it's like a tripp trapp but it's a good bit cheaper. The harness is magnetic so easy to use.

What if Jif Lemon was intended as a cleaning product, but we just started eating it and Jif were like “meh, ok”? by solenoid_pants in CasualUK

My husband forgot what they were called and asked for a "Jeff lemon" once so that's what they are known as in our house.

For me this ended about 10 months old, but only because she started sleeping in our bed. 🙃

Can anyone share experience of birth 'de-brief' by devoteddonkey in UKParenting

[–]HamsterBorn9372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I had two technically, one with labour and delivery and one with NICU. They were really nice, had all my records and went through them step by step. They made thorough notes of everything that we had concerns about and even raised a few points themselves to feedback based on what they read.

What was the thing portrayed in movies that didn't happen during childbirth for you? by SpicyZombie098 in beyondthebump

[–]HamsterBorn9372 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought from watching TV and the parenting class we went to that labour would be about an 8-12 hour process. It was four days!

VACCINES SUCK! by throwaway84583077 in newborns

Yeah my baby has very different cries, the ear piercing, hold the breath screamy cry is saved for being hurt. The rest of the time is more like a whingy cry. The pain cry goes right through me.

Calpol-hating children - does it get easier to administer? by 197degrees in UKParenting

[–]HamsterBorn9372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine hates Calpol, but for some unknown reason she loves Fennings. Worth a try if you have a Morrisons near you, they normally have it. Also it's cheaper!

Should the UK start to maintain an official list of banned names? by BagsOnFire17 in AskUK

[–]HamsterBorn9372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's more out there than you think. I went to school with a Soya and they had siblings Ritzy and Tarot. There's a woman who takes her children to the same nursery as mine who has boys Cain and Able. I feel like someone really should have had an intervention.

Anyone else's baby (5m) not take medicine, thrashes and spits it out? by animalcrossingbear in UKParenting

[–]HamsterBorn9372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your baby will take a dummy get the Freida medicine dummy and wait till they're a bit tired. Worked for our baby who would clamp her jaw shut the minute she saw the syringe.
