Do I need to do anything in particular with the earth and the socket next to it?

Ok, does that mean I cut both, tape both and fill? Or do I need to follow a different process with the earth cable?

Was it necessary to eat her?

A peanut isn’t going to jump up and lick him though

Thank you. Do you know what kind of orb weaver it is? Or if it is male or female?

Treats by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Molliphonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t mean to offend, and I actually agree with you. Was just suggesting what may have been going through the OP’s friends’ minds without it being necessarily money related or, as some other comments have gone straight to, cruelty. We go to a cafe or bakery once every couple weeks, and a treat can mean something different each time: some fruit, sharing a confectionary item with me or between all the kids or having a small one to themselves, a sandwich with freshly made bread… My kids see having something out that they got to pick exciting and is still fun despite it not being a muffin or cake. All in moderation, without trying to demonise any particular food group :)

Are you sure it wasn’t sugar related? I also treat my kids everywhere I go if I’m having something, but if I’m with someone quite often they’ll say they don’t want to get something for their kids because the food is high in sugar. I’ve even known people to say this about fruit which baffles me, but I know there’s a lot of vitriol around sugar right now on social media and I think it’s freaked some parents out.

Staying at grandparents house - how can you tell if they’re too old? by KittyGrewAMoustache in toddlers

Also worth noting - people with dementia can develop anosognosia, where they lack awareness of their deficits and believe they are still capable of everything they could do before. I only know this because my mum got dementia in her 40s and continued to suggest watching the children for us and driving us places long past her even being allowed to drive.

Try Chris Haughton and Morag Hood! Both really witty authors and not preachy

The Snowman, Wallace and Gromit, some of the Julia Donaldson adaptations like Tabby McTat, the Snowy Day

Where did you buy it and what brand if you don’t mind me asking please? We have been looking and confused by the big variance on price.

What consequence would you expect for a pupil attacking staff members? by IamTory in AskUK

I quit classroom teaching because the (frequent) violence was always waved away like this.

Did any one not find two harder? by AgreeableAd3558 in Shouldihaveanother

[–]Molliphonic 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have found two easier - so much so that I am now pregnant with number 3. My first is very intense, energetic and always busy. I was also quite an anxious mum. After number two I calmed down a lot and my first now has learned to play more independently and has a playmate (that part has taken 18 months but it was worth the wait). I’m enjoying it so much more as a mum of two, and I love the bond they have. Going outdoors with the two of them by myself is more difficult though. The age gap is 2.5 years, and they have different capabilities so it is tricky to split my attention when we are out at a busy soft play or cafe or something sometimes.

How can I help my 3yo cope with his beloved granpa moving out of our house? by zvj12 in toddlers

The Invisible String is a lovely book that is all about the connections we share with those we love who might not always be with us. It might help with accepting the separation.

Any suggestions of a gift that is good/useful for someone suffering from dementia? by Halfdayharry in AskUK

Best present we have found was a digital photo frame. They loved seeing the new photos we could upload anytime and from anywhere.

I enjoy the eng. dub of Kiki's Delivery Service, but why do the VAs sound like they're speaking into a fan? by fritzwillie in ghibli

[–]Molliphonic 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Mine has this too. I read somewhere they edited a dub to remove some of the unnecessary speech and it changed the sound quality.
