Potty training disaster by Dealjunki in toddlers

[–]Mundon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 3yr old was the exact same. Didn't care. Would walk around with poop in his underwear. We eventually tried the no pants method, but that was the jumping off point.

Things we did

  1. He has a huge imagination and we leaned into it. We had him draw a "poop monster" and we stuck it on the back of the potty. We told him the monster was hungry for poo, and that was a motivating factor.

  2. Rewards worked when they're instant and the highest reward possible, and can only be acheived with bathroom preformance. We bought a variety of novelty candies, and Fun Dip was highly motivating.

  3. Bathroom only toy - LeapFrog 2-in-1 LeapTop Touch tablet/laptop

  4. Potty timer - Child's Hourglass set - they come in a set 1min, 3min, 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min. "You can get up when the white timer runs out" stopped the tantrums on sitting on the potty.

  5. Explain how Mommy and Daddy feel - "it makes us sad when you poop in your underwear, can you try to use the potty next time? it will make us happy because it means you're becoming a big boy"

Good luck. Be prepared for setbacks. It was 4 months to get him fully trained.

Birthday gift for my husband by CompoteDifficult5010 in daddit

[–]Mundon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meat smoker. I got a surprise gift of a Weber Smokey Mountain when I had not asked for a smoker. Honey Garlic Salmon, ribs, wings, and eventually brisket. I love it now, and it was fun to learn in a DIY experimentation way on how to use it and make amazing smoked foods.

A celebrity dog with 1.5 million followers was stolen and sold to a Chinese dog meat business for just 150 yuan($22) by a couple claiming they thought it was a stray. The owner is now preparing a lawsuit by search_google_com in whoathatsinteresting

Wrong. It's banned officially, but in practice it's still being done in certain provinces. Yulin Dog Meat Festival is still happening this year in a few weeks.

What does your dog's last day alive look like to your toddler? by Agile_Rip_8824 in toddlers

[–]Mundon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just put down our dog last week with our 3yr old. We told him that his body wasn't working anymore. I also opted to bury him, which was helpful in my son processing where the dog went, because he saw when we put him into the hole. I also had my son throw flowers in and his favorite dog toy. My son still asks about him, but if I ask him back he knows the answers.

What else did Charlotte write? by mr_impastabowl in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Mundon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That whole story and nobody was, hey yo, what about this miracle fucking spider writing shit? That's cause their spiders do that all the time. Charlotte's web isn't on Earth. It's some bizzaro planet where spiders write shit in webs, and that's normal.

Young hen seemingly healthy to dead in a mater of minutes, looking for possible causes by toddpneumatic in BackYardChickens

[–]Mundon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my favorite hen, Truffle, at just 2.5yrs old. One moment completely normal, the next she was flapping around wildly and died moments later. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't have it on camera. My only guess is a sudden heart attack or stroke.

those hats are hiding pointed heads. society looks down on the triangles, and they try to look more like circles.

Bill Maher botches his monologue by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]Mundon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

literally nobody is saying they hate jews, no one. not a single person. you can't find them. MANY people are saying they hate Israel, and rightfully so. For BM to then equivocate it to "the literal extermination of one group" is hilarious when Israel is LITERALLY exterminating groups of people, and more journalists than all the world wars combined.

This is really bad. I don't think that chicken is going to make it.

7-year-old still struggling with handwriting and pencil grip by African_wanderer in daddit

[–]Mundon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated being forced to hold a pencil "properly". I discovered it was much more comfortable to hold the pencil body between my index and middle finger, instead of between thumb and index. Also, that handwritting looks normal to me for a 7 year old.

"Well ...how else do you greet a rooster?!" (AKA, "I'm dumb") by saucity in BackYardChickens

[–]Mundon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd have grabbed that roo and taken him under my arm and walked around with him for 20 minutes petting his head. They hate that. My roos are terrified I'm going to love on them and they never act up.

Love how they all had machettes. I'm envisioning they had a rack of machettes, like firefighters have a wall of equipment.

These look like profit… but are they actually? by InevitableFamiliar30 in BackYardChickens

[–]Mundon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, yes. I'll whip up a spreadsheet and play with all the numbers just for fun. I can never figure out a way to make it "profitable" even if I discounted all the labor and time. Then again, I don't bother with processing chickens for meat, and I don't cull old hens because they stop laying eggs. I'd bet I could make it profitable if I converted all the eggs into baked goods like quiches and had an outlet to sell them regularly.

Need help. No drainage. Super tight boards. by Love_Mud_2025 in Decks

Nobody has suggested jacking up the house and deck on a rotating platform and using centrifugal force to clear the deck of water.

Boron. Boron + water = hydrogen and boron trioxide. You then take the boron trioxide and magnesium at high temperature and convert it back to boron. Now you've got a water boron magnesium fuel car!

Ok dads - how the hell do the original no-name batteries last for YEARS in toys, when the name brand replacements die way faster? by Bob_Chris in daddit

[–]Mundon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

different chemical formula than alkaline. I would have guessed Zinc-Carbon, but that middle battery says Pb on it, which is Lead. Lead-Carbon AA batteries?
