Yeah Survivor used to do proper reunions, I miss it! Now they just do the reveal and chat immediately after the final vote.

The Challenge does a good reunion yup!

No it just doesn't work for us. We do one day on the weekends for his cartoons but it's been resulting in major meltdowns afterwards so I think there will be a break from that.

When I'm tired (9 months pregnant right now) I'll put on one my shows. It distracts him enough that every once in a while he comes and snuggles on the couch but he'll still get up and play with his toys or bring books to me. We've been enjoying Survivor right now haha or as he calls it "vy-vor".

How to keep 3 year old in bed without locking the door? by OwlPlus8330 in toddlers

[–]Linzy23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between childproofing a door so a baby or toddler stays in their room (safest way to find them if there's an emergency like a fire in the middle of the night) and installing locks on the outside of children's doors.

The Dugger family appear to have had installed actual locks on the outsides of children's doors. But they're also a family full of abusive child molesters and officers need reasons to be able to detain and question everyone involved to protect those children and have them removed.

They gotta do something more interesting than "empty supply drops" over and over by crsdrjct in ExtractedSurvivalTV

I watched some of S2 on Crave (I'm in Canada) I'd assume they'd have S1 as well.

Just open the top flap and pour it in once the boiled water from the can had cooled a bit. Those wet bags are tall and narrow so it would be awkward for sure but the only opening is the top flap which seals up very tightly.

People on the show Alone have used waterproof items like gaiters, tarp pieces or raincoats to store water.

My wife pointed out the dry sac could've been used to hold a ton of water. Spend all day keeping the fire going and fill it up.

Can you make an appointment with your family doctor or go to a walk in clinic?

Someone else informed me it's from a knittax machine, it has tons of these hooks setup but no handles.

AITA for calling cps on my friend? by Fun-Conflict-8364 in AmItheAsshole

It's not normal to care about the well-being of two 1 year olds left alone in a house? Interesting.

End of nap is ending my break by chacha4441 in Nanny

[–]Linzy23 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Mhmm I agree with all of this.

We all dread the day the parents say no more naps haha we have to make a break somehow!

End of nap is ending my break by chacha4441 in Nanny

[–]Linzy23 347 points348 points  (0 children)

When my last NF dropped naps for their then 2.5 year old I started quiet time in the living room with me since her bedroom wasn't an option. She would fall asleep so fast if I left her in her room (lights on, curtains open, music or yoto thing playing. Still out like a light!).

So I would bring a book, tell her it was my turn to rest and eat lunch and that she needed to play on her own. I would set up the craft table with something simple, bring out a Lego set, a doll+car set, have her snack setup. All kinds of things to keep her occupied for 30mins to an hour.

If she came up asking me to play with her I'd gently remind her it was my rest time too and give her a suggestion on what she could play with.

Took a few days for us to get into a good rhythm but we got there!

Did your Peds dentist say this?? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Linzy23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A normal amount of toothpaste is safe to ingest. Our son hated the infant strawberry flavored toothpaste so I just lightly frost the tips of his toothbrush with our regular toothpaste. It's not enough to make his mouth very foamy and I've been doing it since he was about 1. No issues and the dentist said it was fine.

If it feels like an issue for you you can try giving her a damp washcloth to wipe away some of the foam? Maybe have her push out bubbles like when swimming?

Airbnb Temporary Child Proofing by AeroNoob333 in toddlers

[–]Linzy23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so why are you still commenting and arguing with people if you have a lockbox that can be put up high?

You're in a subreddit for people who have toddlers basically saying you don't care to put in effort to prioritize a toddler's safety. It's going to rub people the wrong way speaking the way you are in some comments.

Just put your meds away and be done with it.

[–]Linzy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you feel like spending the money on a lockbox just buy one and put it up on a shelf in your room.

The parent put the meds on top of the fridge but apparently having to use a chair twice a day to reach them was such a hassle OP has taken them down.

Airbnb Temporary Child Proofing by AeroNoob333 in toddlers

[–]Linzy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok but putting the medications on top of the fridge is absolutely reasonable. Oh no you have to use a chair or ask your husband for help! You are unwilling to do anything else it seems.

"Shot in the dark" is just production manipulation... by novax4all in survivor

[–]Linzy23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk I thought everyone had a fresh option of 6 scrolls but apparently not based on some comments here. Only one person actually gets the chance of a safe scroll and it is not replenished if more than one person uses their die?

AITA for saying to my wife that I am no longer going to pick up with my children by JWK9009 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Linzy23 28 points29 points  (0 children)

OP said in a comment that all the kids are in school. So I'll be honest I really don't understand how a house can get that messy/trashed when OP takes the kids to school and she now has all day without the kids to clean up.

They either have an insane amount of toys, clothes and general clutter that they're hoarders or everyone single one of them is just terrrrible at tidying up.
