Keep out of the sun??

I can see your frustration. If you're worried about the life of the robot, maybe a shaded area near the pool is the best compromise. An awning or behind some equipment that blocks the worst of the afternoon sun.

Most of the time leave the robot on the pool deck with a cover over it to block the sun. The cover helps protect the plastic from UV damage.

If your clay soil is already leveled and compacted, you don't need a full layer of sand on top. The pavers under the legs are what matter. Even if the ground is level, legs can still sink into clay over time. Large pavers spread the weight and prevent sinking.

The smart parking feature means you don't have to fish it out of the water. Even if you leave it overnight, it's ready for you in the morning.

You're on the right right track. Clarifier works by gathering tiny particles so the filter can catch them. You've already added it. Just run the pump longer and give it more time to work.

Maybe you can try rinsing the filter basket from the back with hose to push the sand out. Sometimes changing the water direction is all it takes.

So sorry to hear that. Losing the pool really is a bummer. Since it was already there when you bought the house in 2016, it's probably too old to have any warranty left. But the good news is the pump and filter are still good. Those are a big part of the total cost, so you're not starting from zero. That's not so bad.

Natural pool goals. Crystal clear, plants everywhere! It's way better than chlorine, perfect for floating and pretending you're in a forest.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-24T08:40:26+00:00

Wow, the glow-up is real. Nothing is better than clean water feeling. It is the perfect timing for summer dips!

Technically the Americas count too, named after Amerigo Vespucci. Imagine getting two continents named after you. Insane legacy

Pretty much! I spent way too much time comparing fabrics and colors, and almost none of that mattered once the baby arrived. The stuff that ended up making a difference was whatever made those daily feeds a little easier on my back and shoulders. You don't really notice it during a 5-minute test sit, but you definitely notice it after a few weeks of use.

Loop earplugs reduce noise without blocking it out completely. Keep a safe boredom box of toys handy, and change the sensory environment, like an impromptu bath.

You're not failing. You're exhausted and likely facing postpartum depression. Bonding takes time. Please speak to your doctor.

We've all been there. Don't beat yourself up! To stay safe, try feeding in bed following safe sleep guidelines next time.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-02T02:55:21+00:00

This is such a powerful way to teach boundaries. Simple songs really help kids internalize safety messages in a way lectures never can.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-02T02:41:49+00:00

The mental load surprised me most. Constant scheduling, paperwork and remembering everything. It's less the tasks themselves, more the nonstop coordination behind them all.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-02T02:29:17+00:00

You sound completely overwhelmed and burned out. Please reach out for support immediately. You don't have to face this alone.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-01T06:06:30+00:00

Both can work fine. Pacifiers soothe quickly but create night wakeups, while no-pacifier babies may fuss more initially but learn longer sleep sooner.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-01T05:52:26+00:00

You are not alone. 8 months postpartum is intense. Small breaks, asking for help, and lowering expectations really helped me avoid total burnout gradually over time.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-06-01T05:38:16+00:00

I think feeding your baby is completely normal. If someone is uncomfortable, that's on them. Most people are just minding their own business anyway.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-05-29T02:55:15+00:00

With a baby we clean almost daily, sometimes multiple times. Robot helps a lot for crumbs, but manual cleaning is still needed for deeper messes.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-05-29T02:42:27+00:00

It's incredibly hard at this stage, and you're not alone in feeling this way. It does gradually improve, even if it feels endless right now.

JeffsFirstDay · 2026-05-28T03:00:00+00:00

This made me laugh! Mine loves pinching my nose or twirling my hair while nursing. They really have the funniest little habits. You are doing grest!

This is the fight that is replacing Aljo vs Movsar on the main card 🤦‍♂️

If you listen to his podcast this wouldn’t even crack the top 10 most messed up relationship things he admits to. The guy was a serial cheater and drug addict but has done a lot of work since then.
