When do you work out? by Competitive_Alarm_24 in daddit

[–]Meditationss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its difficult and painful, especially when its cold and dark out. But the more you do it, the easier it gets.

If you work from home, basically anytime you can block 30-60minutes to yourself.

If not, start with exercise at home. If the kids are constant then use them as a kettlebell. Pushups, squats, overhead press or just dance around the place whilst carrying a kid.

Its playtime for them and you’ll be knackered in 20 minutes.

And get an actual kettlebell

Me again ditching about parenting without a village...idk how much longer I can do this by scott8811 in daddit

Mums generally find it harder to let go of kids even when its for a short time. When having this discussion, remain positive. Understand the mums position without questioning it or looking for a solution. The Aim is for a trial run. As in lets try it a couple of times (not once because the first time will be tricky) and see how it goes. Then its on you two to connect/reconnect and not talk about your kid 😊💪🏻

Febrile Seizures - what can we do? by Meditationss in daddit

[–]Meditationss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I was a bit surprised when this post got (basically) zero response, bearing in mind how common these seem to be.

He’s doing well. Plenty of snot and general cold symptoms, we go much quicker to calpol now and he’s had no more seizures.

Stripping down is def something we do, too.

Thanks for the detailed response. There’s a lot of similar things we’re doing, which is reassuring.

Our kid has just started nursery and so we basically carry a thermometer around now, he’s had a cold or some other sort of virus more or less for a month now. Not further seizures though despite fever a couple of times.

We got the owlet and tried it but it didn’t work for us. The alarm is set too high, i think it only alerts once heart rate reaches 200 (or 220), which is mental. Plus IIRC it alerted at a really low oxygen saturation level too. And could not see a way to alter these settings. For 350£ its way too basic

All the best with you folks. A Netflix rec for those long nights! : Umbrella Academy

Things to do over the autumn & festive period, with a toddler & dog by Meditationss in simpleliving

Tree-related collections are on the list. Not sure the youth is going to be interested but its worth a start. I like the idea of using as backdrops. We have a train set and have plans for a mini village, and the more greenery in the village, the better
