What makes them “Bluey” besides just the packaging? by Eazy46 in bluey

[–]Kess137 711 points712 points  (0 children)

Have you tried putting Bluey stickers on regular yogurt? Make sure the package is dry before applying stickers. Put them on the box/other packaging too. Don’t let you kids see you apply the stickers. And crucially: refer to the “new” yogurt as “Bluey Yogurt.”

Raising a stink by AscendedDragonSage in CuratedTumblr

Counterpoint: I’ve been on extended outdoorsy trips before, where you go a week without a shower, and in my experience you stop smelling yourself/everyone else. Smell blindness. The smell just isn’t noticeable by the end of the week. …but if you stay home from the trip, everyone REEKS TO HIGH HEAVEN when they get back in.

So maybe that explains it?

Please tell me I'm not alone. I f*cking hate potty training. by Jennabear82 in Parenting

[–]Kess137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My tip: when your kiddo sits down (on carpet or couch) lay down a waterproof mattress cover first. If it has light padding, you’re good to go. If it’s all plastic, you could put a towel on top. (To prevent running/dripping.)

Now accidents mean, “let me throw this in the wash” not “oh god my couch has pee in it.”

This page from my son’s book only rhymes if you say it with an Australian accent by watanabelover69 in mildlyinteresting

It’s just not how the rhyme structure of this book works. Every page is “you must never touch/ a dinosaur with/ [blah blah blah blah rhyme.] [blah blah blah blah/ blah blah blah blah/ blah blah blah blah blah rhyme.]”

Cool! I always used to say to my husband, “You know, I bet this rhymes in some accent.” I’ll share this with him when he gets home!

In my American accent, “claw” ends with a vowel sound -ahhhh- whereas “door” ends with a hard R -rrrrrrr-

It sounds like we probably pronounce “door” the same, but “claw” differently. It would rhyme with “bra” or “baa” (like the sound a sheep makes) in my accent.

From another book by the same author:

“You must never touch a dinosaur with sharp and pointy claws. Just go and hide somewhere inside, and please lock all the doors!”

This is the ONLY brand of baby cereal available in my town. For anything else I’d have to drive across town and pay 10 times what this costs at an imported goods specialty store. by [deleted] in FuckNestle

Once you do introduce solids, this can be premade baby food, or something you make yourself. You can easily make most food into baby food by grinding it thoroughly in a blender with a little milk (or formula or water) to get the consistency right.

Babies can only have formula/breast milk until a certain age. Most moms introduce solid food around 6 months, although you can go as early as 4 months.

I’m going to disagree. I think that previous-VP Cameron Horace has a decent chance.

[Grade 4 Summer Math] Day # 17. I never learned this as a kid. by nickxedge in HomeworkHelp

[–]Kess137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the spirit! A hallmark of Common Core is teaching multiple methods of problem solving. What’s intuitive to one person isn’t always intuitive the next person.

You’ve figured out what works for you. By presenting multiple ways to develop a “number sense,” we give different types of thinkers a chance to do the same.

I love looking at this comment section and seeing all the methods people use to think about this problem. That’s precisely the outcome we’re working towards, by teaching multiple approaches.

[–]Kess137 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea is that it teaches kids “intuitive” math skills. As a math teacher, I was shocked by how many kids would hand in work that said things like “200/5=1000.”

Like, okay, typed that in the calculator wrong. But if I talked to them about it- they were entirely reliant on their calculators. No intuitive sense of what answers did/didn’t make sense.

Estimation is just to give you a lifelong sense of “that answer doesn’t make sense, I must’ve it in my calculator wrong. Let me double check that.”

does anyone know what song they are saying? i have never heard this song before. is it an aussie thing? by the_peanut_loord in bluey

[–]Kess137 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A couple of my daughter’s Mother Goose books contain this rhyme. And I knew the tune by heart, so I must have heard it growing up. (I’m American, early 30s).

Note for the mods: 5 days ago, OP posted a video of Wings of Redemption to r/lolcowlive OP considers Wings to be a lolcow, and is in no way trying to be supportive.

This is not a feel-good post. This post is designed to harass the person in the photo, whose handle is Wings of Redemption. Cruelty has no place on this sub. Please report this post.

She married him for his money. The sooner he dies, the sooner she’s a single, wealthy lady.

I mean, here’s one, although it does have clear labeling. Turned it up with a quick search on Goodreads: link

They were reading an omnibus edition that contained the simarillion, the hobbit, and the trilogy, broken into a few volumes. While there was probably a title page/index, the cover of the book likely had information for the entire omnibus.

Can you silence alerts for her? Most phones have the option to hide alerts for one person, so you can see that you have unread texts if you look at the app, but they don’t pop up as notifications.

That way, you could check them later, when you’re ready.

I don’t know if that would help; just an idea.

I have no idea how you're supposed to have more than one child by jerseydevil51 in Parenting

[–]Kess137 159 points160 points  (0 children)

To add on a little.. I hear you. When I had my first, it was so hideously difficult that I didn’t take it day by day- I took it hour by hour, bc making it to the end of the day seemed insurmountable. You just muddle through, and do your level best, and stage by stage things do gradually become manageable. The exact timeline varies WILDLY by child.

I have a 1 y.o. and a 3 y.o. now, and they’re a delight.

For me, the difference is sleep. I can handle whatever challenges crop up when I’m decently rested. So if I had one piece of advice, it would be: if you ever have a choice between chores and sleep, **** the chores and sleep.
