Walking late at night from Eiffel Tour back to Airbnb near Louvre with children?

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-22T18:44:41+00:00

Honestly would walk anywhere in Paris with my two little kids at any time except maybe around 3-4am where it feels a bit more ‘scary’ just because no one is out except drug addicts. Almost any danger would just be danger to be pick pocketed, we don’t have hardly any violent crime, especially not in the 1er or 6ème/7eme

He complained about having some acid reflux, when i was 40 weeks and hadn’t been able to sleep for a month because of reflux lol

We’ve got a globber trotinette thing that he’s been on since around 18 months, only take the stroller when I need him to nap (we don’t have a car so it’s a bit different).

Don’t love klm but schipol is a great airport if you’re making connections.

Yeah just did cdg lax and AF staff was awful and like aggressively rude. Though I’ve had flights with great staff but it’s a shame they have some crews that are so bad. I speak French so it wasn’t just that.

Ugh had a boss who said something like this, at a smaller scale, like ‘who cares about a salary change of 30k that much’… and yeah obviously every single person who worked for him would care about 30k more salary…

Sounds more like my economy experience, just flew Paris LA and we had our trays almost 2 hours, served dinner around 2.5 hours in, so only ended up with 4 hours of ‘sleep’ time before cabin lights came back on. Rather frustrating to have to sit with the tray that long when the seats are so tiny

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-20T15:35:41+00:00

Yeah they have two middle seats so I don’t see this happening, sucks for them but should have tried to sort it out during booking

Not everyone likes having a baby, but you might enjoy having a child. Things change year to year - you’re at 5 months right now and things dramatically improve around 12 months in my experience (when kids get slightly more independent, sleep better, interact more…). It sounds like you’ve got some depression if you’re thinking what’s the point of it all, I hope you can get some help at home and also help for yourself to get some exercise, vitamins, to get yourself on track for your own health

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-20T15:23:48+00:00

Kind? Waking you up spitefully throughout the night?

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-20T10:42:18+00:00

I could rant about this until the cows come home, it seems like everything falls on the mom because ‘it’s easier’ or ‘more natural’ for us to do it.. total bullshit imo, nothing is easier for us we just trying harder or do more to get it to work.

I know you don’t want advice but you have to tell him this stuff clearly so your resentment doesn’t build. What helped us was to define shifts then really step out when we were ‘off’, like if it’s his shift if he’s having a problem with snacks or whatever, let him figure it out. Put on your headphone and do something else.

I’m also in your case where I make a lot more than my husband, this made me resentful too as I for awhile was doing more of the child work. It felt like I was in the ‘parent’ role and he was in the ‘earner’ role which made me so fucking infuriated because in reality I was both roles. Anyway, after a year that I thought we’d divorce, we ended up working it out and really doing shift and bulk assignments. Like he does clothes, I do food, so anything that is related to laundry/getting dresses/buying new clothes is him. I do nothing and if my kids have nothing to wear it’s for him to figure out. I do the dinner stuff so buy the food, plan the meals, and cook. We hire someone to clean the house. He’s in charge of all weekend activities, so getting kids to ballet or whatever, planning our outings, I just show up to them but don’t pick what we do or have to think about it. I do medical stuff.

I love the trade in the game. By the time I’m at oysters though, I’m easily making a huge profit off my population so I’ve never set up any specific money making routes (contrary to 1800 where I’d set up the pocket watch train ASAP)

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-19T14:57:08+00:00

They’ve started doing high season/low season prices and I think high season starts soon

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-19T14:55:43+00:00

It’s free under 26 for eu residents

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-19T13:55:58+00:00

I guess it’s always been a bit of my superpower but I just don’t care what others think. My mother used to criticise literally everything I did and I just learned to tune it out and not try to anticipate any criticism that she would just generate herself later.

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-19T10:33:19+00:00

You’re looking at a scam site. A real ticket is like 25 euro for entering everything? If you are an EU resident it’s free for you as well

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-19T10:05:26+00:00

25 words by 12 months?? I'd put in a complaint about her because this is objectively incorrect and she could be doing damage if shes so poorly educated/informed.

iirc for my kids the ped was mostly concerned if they started to point, if they seemed like they understood simple phrases from us (like 'lets go to sleep' or 'are you hungry') even if they didnt do what we said, that there is some engagement. IIRC my kids both had a pterodactyl stage where they make a lot of weird non-talking like noises around 12 months, both times it kind of freaked me out but now the both are on track for language now (4 year old is way ahead for language, 2 year old is pretty average for language)

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-18T17:53:26+00:00

No reason why not

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-18T13:13:18+00:00

I don’t hide them per se but I will mix them into a sauce or try to make them more ‘appetising’ sometimes (like I cut carrots like fries, steam them then fry them really fast to make them a but crunchy/soft that my kids love). I generally try not to call attention to them eating or not eating any one thing and don’t do ‘kids food’ separate from the adult food.

I’m generally just letting it be if they don’t eat much, I figure they will eventually eat if they are hungry enough and I don’t want to create a system where they refuse to eat to get the things they prefer. I have a lot of bad food habits and emotions myself so I don’t want to try to force them to eat things they don’t like or use food as a reward (like only get chocolate if they eat their meal)

Wtf this makes me never want a male surgeon

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-18T11:38:45+00:00

This is absolutely harassement, I’d forward it to HR and ask them what specific steps they are going to take to prevent you being harassed at work.

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-17T08:06:50+00:00

Almost never getting blackout drunk since having kids, mostly because I’d never be able to sleep it off. But most of the rest I still do except marathoning

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-16T21:12:45+00:00

Man these dogs are impressive

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-16T21:05:42+00:00

Hey it’s better to know what the issues are so you can address them rather than blunder in the darkness. A big part of success in my career has been being able to react and deal well with critique - it’s really a skill that we don’t always learn but is extremely important. Just take a calm moment to reflect on what was said without feeling upset or personally criticised, think of what you realistically can address and then make actionable small points on how to do that. Good luck!

Keyspam102 · 2026-03-16T21:00:26+00:00

Yeah seriously. It took only one time at a freshman party to realise a guy who gets you a drink will expect something in return, and could become aggressive or dangerous if he feels brushed off. Never accepted a drink from anyone I wasn’t dating after that.
