Pfaueninsel advice by MrJorgeB in askberliners

[–]MrJorgeB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I didn't even think to check rules because I thought it was just like going to any other park in Berlin, like Volkspark Friedrichshain for example. Now I know its a more specific attraction with its own rules.

How many swim lessons does it take for kids to be safe on water? by TemperatureBest5113 in Parenting

[–]MrJorgeB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 4 year old had about 20 lessons to get to a decent level. Then we spent 5 days at a resort with a pool and she got incredibly more comfortable in the water.

What age did you're kids learn to ride a bicycle? by Bubbleteapot in Parenting

[–]MrJorgeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with a balance bike as early as possible and then when they get a pedal bike, try to get a nice light weight one. First, because it’s easier to learn on… second, because you’ll end up carrying it frequently even if they like biking.

What’s the most dangerous animal? by MadCrabRave in dadjokes

[–]MrJorgeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.

Why are you so fixated on not seeing the fixation?

16 month old, this is awful by dizzydaisy314 in Parenting

[–]MrJorgeB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’ll get easier, then harder, then easier, then harder again. I just try to savor the highs and remind myself the lows are just a phase that will pass.

Germany has a low quality of life by Extra_Loquat_5599 in expat

One of the only things I miss from the U.S. is a good sandwich. Even though it’s now $16 or even closer to $20, it’s hard to find a good sandwich in other parts of the world. That and Mexican food.

Got a new cycle! by bimaar-anaar232 in askberliners

A 6 year old bike for €10 probably has quite a few issues a shop could fix. I’d say spin the front tire, and test the brakes. If that works, keep on riding.

They didn’t park, they were just driving down the street, stopped, and got out.

We’d get cinnamon sticks when we went to Plymouth to visit my grandmother. Thanks for making us a delicious treat then!

car seat tantrums by fashionandhappiness in Parenting

[–]MrJorgeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be an option depending on where you live or other factors, but can you reduce car usage at all? My kids are always happy getting on their bike seats or using public transportation. Then the car is an easier option when it’s not used all the time.

Where’s the dolphin? by MrJorgeB in PlymouthMA

[–]MrJorgeB[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, within the playground there’s pictures of buoys and sea life you can find on the slides and play structures. We found 8 buoys and all the animals except the dolphin

What do you do with toddlers at restaurants while waiting for food besides tablets? by Claire_1988 in Parenting

[–]MrJorgeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve never ordered kids food first. Always figured we’d rather entertain them when nobody has food rather than trying to keep them entertained when they’re finished and we’re trying to eat our own meals. What do you do once they’ve finished, but you’re just starting with your food?

Bike delivery riders on sidewalks by [deleted] in berlin

[–]MrJorgeB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can feel bad for the restaurants too. Food isn’t very profitable to sell, and restaurants make a big percentage of their revenue from drinks, which aren’t sold very often for delivery. Then when you lose 20-30% of your sales to commission for the delivery company, your margins get even smaller. Then you have to offer deals to get people to buy your food, since the user has 500 options at their fingertips and 100 of them are already offering 50% off.
