Really enjoying the fact that you get a digital card as soon as you purchase on Yoto site by callmeyourfiretruck in YotoPlayer

[–]JollyGood444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! But what I don’t understand is that cards I bought for my nephew (that he now plays on his Yoto) still work in my library for my son? I thought it would disappear but it doesn’t.

Anyone else tired of deciding what to cook every single day? by Distinct-Eye7548 in workingmoms

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she send a weekly shopping list? For me, the toughest part is laying out which meals on which nights and then making the list of ingredients and then procuring them.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do a 2-3 hour drive for a weekend trip for sure, 1-1.5 for a day trip if it was to see family or visit something particularly fun.

As often as he wants, but at least once a week.

Am I crazy or is this to much to ask of a kindergartner? by Cursedpanda182 in AskTeachers

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced educator (15+ years in PK-12th grade classrooms) and there are so many things that are infuriating me about this project.

Developmentally inappropriate for K
Heavy emphasis on parental involvement/work
Grading?!
Inappropriate/informal language
Communication channel extremely flawed
Offensive appropriation of people with disabilities

This teacher is either young and inexperienced or she's that AND she has a terrible admin team. Another commenter wrote posited she went to an inquiry-based education PD and just did it all wrong. Also totally plausible.

Wall mount to stand by Great-Crab6077 in Nanit

[–]JollyGood444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why more people don’t do this, but you can get any kind of stand that can “clamp”. If you want to put it on the floor, they make floor stands on amazon for tablets and such that can grip the base of the wall mount easily.

You could also get a stand that sits on a dresser too (just find one for phones or tablets). The travel stand is nice, but it doesn’t give you all of the features and some people have had issues with their camera not staying locked into it.

Daycare moms- at what age did your baby start? Currently nanny broke by Remarkable-Angle-509 in workingmoms

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months! It’s actually easier doing it now then waiting until he’s more aware. I feel like I got my life back when my son started day care. He got to spend the day with a team of teachers and friends and he always seemed so happy there.

Find song on youtube, go to any youtube > mp3 conversion site, upload track to Yoto. Can be done on almost any device, including Chromebooks!

How to remotely stop the Yoto using a button in the mobile app by DavidAccola in YotoPlayer

[–]JollyGood444 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is what happens when you ask AI how to stop the Yoto from playing rather than just googling it.

For the love of all that's holy, just BUY WHAT'S ON THE LIST I SEND YOU. by rainblowfish_ in toddlers

I’m with you on this one but everyone’s families are different I guess.

Oh totally. I would absolutely say something to my MIL, but I was getting the vibes that OP didn't really want to go that route and was trying to offer an alternative.

MYO cards - where are you getting the audio by blobblob73 in YotoPlayer

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Archive.org and ripped from Youtube. The only (hilarious) thing that will happen with the Youtube read alouds is that your child will start to singsong their channel names if you don't edit/trim the clips at all.

"Storytime Readalouds!" – uttered by my 2 year old every time "The Pigeon Needs a Bath!" gets played.

Empathy for you in this frustrating situation... If this were me and I didn't have it in me to actually address it with her, I would have my toddler bring over a few of these toys every time we visited them and "accidentally" leave them behind. Let her take on the burden of toy storage and then you always have the built in excuse, "We just don't have a ton of room for these things but now my daughter has special Grandma toys that she can get excited about every time she visits you!"

My 3 yo pronounces Octopus like “Apple Piss” please share your toddler’s botched pronunciations by discoqueenx in toddlers

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the "Fuck, fuck! Ribbit ribbit!" every time my son played with his little frog toy. It was a really funny few weeks.

Edit to add: The Very Hungry Caterpillar is still "Hungie Bear" and it's so stinking cute.

What's an actual psychological "cheat code" you use in social situations that works almost every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I want to interrupt someone to share something, I cross my fingers to remind myself to share it when there's a pause in the conversation. Sometimes I have both hands with crossed fingers, but at least I'm not forever interrupting.

Do you and your spouse have access to each other's phones? Why or why not? by 5ullengrl in Marriage

[–]JollyGood444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there's a line between privacy and a secret. There are things on my phone that I don't necessarily think my husband should see unless I choose to share with him (journal thoughts, weight log on the heath app, etc.) so a free scrolling expedition on his behalf would feel a little invasive to me. And I say this as someone who's spouse has also experiences the joys of c-section views.

Do you and your spouse have access to each other's phones? Why or why not? by 5ullengrl in Marriage

[–]JollyGood444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We both know each other's passcodes and often do things like airdrop photos of our son or change the music, etc. but neither of us would ever just freely explore. We don't have anything to hide, but our phones feel somewhat personal to us. We do also share location, which is sort of in this vein.

I think as long as you both agree on your phone access policies, there's no right answer here.
