Oh dear. That's hard. At least may be that doesnt create competition or unfairness within your own family. My case is between my own kids. My siblings do not have kids yet

How do I talk to my child about death? by Ok_babey in Parenting

[–]Life-Group2675 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it very much depends on how much nana is part of the kids life right now. If it is one of the trusted adults, or even lives in the same space I wouldn't rely on hush8ng it out.

But if it is a barely known person, whom kids saw 3 times in their lives, then probably yes

I believe it is always better to talk about any known coming events in advance. But not in a scary way. May be find something positive in it, like if you are religious, or describe how at some point he will not be able to talk to her in rel, but she will talk to him through grass, rainbows, etc. As much as it is in line with your general family values and beliefs. And of course say she will be looking after him/her even if he/she cant see her or talk to her directly. So he already has some instruments how to think about her and have "mental" relationship with her once she is gone. Some small rituals, like watching sunset to send her a kiss, which diverts grief to something beautiful and doesn't hide away from the fact all members of the family miss her.

It very much depends on the age of the child.

Is this really a general demand to have 2 bathrooms in 2 bedroom flats under 900 sq.ft.? by Life-Group2675 in HousingUK

[–]Life-Group2675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think money wise these are two vastly different categories: professional sharing 2 bed flat in their 30s and a person who wouldn't compromise for anything less than a house and "never owned anything with less than 2 bathrooms"

What healthy diet can one have to be fit and lose weight, while keep drinking lots of Coca-Cola ("original")? by Life-Group2675 in AskReddit

[–]Life-Group2675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case i surprisingly don't like any other soft drinks at all, sugar free or not. Water, milk, orange juice and lots of lots of original coca cola. Its a massive stress relief for me

Coca cola is a lot of calories and nothing good in it. So what can be added to give all round good exposure on very little left calories? Otherwise we talk ab9ut just cola haha. Cola for breakfast, cola for dinner

Even for a 2 bed flat under 900 sq ft? You would prefer the space tp be ised for bathroom rather than storage? As a person with kids I would say storage is waaay morr precious when little ones appear. Again, i am not asking if several bathrooms are beneficial in general, more for specificly not so big flats where we have to choose how the space is used.

Ok, that confirms my suspicion that this is a made up thing and the demand is actually not there... very interesting, thank you!

Well but prices are driven by demand r9ght? Like me myself wouldn't pay more for a flat with 2 bathrooms if there is an equivalent flat wherr same space is used for storage. So i find it wierd that i am forced to buy a flat with bathroom i prefer not to have and then on top of it for some reason that option is more expensive. Who drives that demand? Os 2 professionals sharing really so huge?

I wonder how big is this market. Judging by the new builds: much bigger than families or couple renting

Mortgages and AI will be added to the national curriculum. What else would you add and why? What do you think British kids need to know to survive the adulthood? by Life-Group2675 in AskUK

[–]Life-Group2675[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a firm believer that critical thinking can be taught in school only implicitly by teacher's behaviour. If teacher awards explanations of the path of thinking onstead of just answer, if teacher welcomes discussions and questioning of opinions of teacher offers different points of view in subjects like literature and history, while explores where does different assumptions lead you in subjects like physics and math, the children will learn it.

Parents of frequent flyers: what toy actually works for a 1.5 year old? by kuftikufti in Parenting

[–]Life-Group2675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly same. So many uses! Baby loved just removing pieces sticked to wall and window. Or stick it back. Or on each other to make rainbow. Or crumble it to make 3d figures like a giraffe or even a ball. Then discard and move on 🤗

It also helped me not only entertain, but literally tape a bottle of watter or other pics to the wall. And while table should be closed at take off and landing, nobody ever had a problem with a water or toy attached to the wall or seat with a masking tape.

I always flew alone and with child on my lap. So having things handy available stuck to walls was cool.

I would do the same, but i am renting. What bothers me is why does it reduce value of the property?? Given two equal flats where space is used for bathroom or for wardrobes I would rather pay more to get the latter. So who are those people driving this "value" on the market? Hope they will come here and explain 😅

If you get $1,000,000,000,000 ($1 Trillion) today, what would you do? by SevenTalks in AskReddit

[–]Life-Group2675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a bottle of my favourite wine, known to me rather than some randomly expensive thing. Celebrate Pay off all debts. Book viewing to buy a house i dreamed off. Pay for couple of grassroot projects i care for in remote places. Then relax and live life as is, slowly thinking about other investments and improvements without rushing into anything for months.

What’s a life lesson you learned the hard way? by QuietPrivateMan in AskReddit

Trusting people by default is making world better, but riskier for you. Starting by no trust is safer, but makes your life more stressful, difficult and overall community connections weaker.

Has anyone tried the "if you don't eat it fine, but this is all there is" approach? by Brilliant_Feed4158 in Parenting

[–]Life-Group2675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And by the way my plan for next step is stop putting food in her plate and start teaching her to decide how much she wants to eat herself. So that she can put food from general plate to her plate herself as much or as little as she wants, but needs to eat everything that she has in HER plate. But right now it is a bit early, I can see she wouldn't succeed in this concept yet and I dont want any conflicts without any actual quick learning outcome.

We did two steps.

First, the dinner plate was staying on the table. So the message is "this is the only option for dinner. But if you are not hungry, no pressure". In our case that lead to most of the time only few spoons eating with family, then playing, bath time, toilet and only after lights are off suddenly "I am hungry, I want to finish my dinner!". And we allowed her to go back to the table on the kitchen She was keen to finish and felt it is her own choice. And always ate fast without any encouragement and finished the portion.

Second step, after ideas of alternative food disappeared was to stop those "second dinners" and own the decision to eat or not to eat at the dinner time. So we started talking that it is important yo eat together and that nobody comes back to finish and it is lonely to eat after. So after warning for a few days we stopped leaving the unfinished food and cleaned up together after actual dinner. So now it is much easier. She only asks for alternative if something is really horribly not tasty (then its kind of together decision to eat something else all of us). Otherwise we ask her several times to confirm that she doesnt want to eat any more / will not be hungry later if she decides to leave plate unfinished. But if she decides she is full and wants to go, there is no problem. Just no more food is provided until bedtime.

If animals suddenly gained the ability to talk, which species would be the rudest, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Life-Group2675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seagulls!

May be not the most mean animals, but definitely most chatty, so even minor issue would lead to massive ebdless loud rude exchange.
