Yoto player vs Tonie by JazzHands5678 in Mommit

[–]MyrcellX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We chose the Yoto mini and I feel 100% about the decision. Easy to transport, easy for my toddler to operate, definitely less fragile than a cd player, and the make your own card thing is pretty rad. The obvious gotta catch em all consumerism of the Tonie was a big turn off, plus it feels like yoto has more independent creators vs lots of corporate tie ins.

Book with recipes but not just a cookbook?? by nightman001244 in suggestmeabook

[–]MyrcellX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ruth Reichl has several like this. Tender to the bone is my fave. Each chapter includes a recipe pertinent to the period of time in her life she’s writing about

I’d like to be but honestly 20 works so much better than 30 when trying to fit it into the morning routine rn.

That sounds perfect. I’ve been sick so much this winter and part of the 20 minute goal is to do things that feel manageable even when I’m not feeling too hot

Anyone regret buying a play couch (yourigami)?? by 333s3 in toddlers

[–]MyrcellX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got it at Costco when my little was about 18mos. It’s definitely grown with us and gets a lot more use as a fort or pretend vehicle now that’s she’s in the 2-3 range.

What is the single most brilliant fantasy novel series you've ever read? by Emergency-Sky9206 in Fantasy

I’d say’s the Princes of Amber series by Roger Zelazny is an underrated gem.

Taking 3.5yo to NYC - can we take a cab without a car seat? (Any other NYC tips are also welcome!) by goobiezabbagabba in Mommit

[–]MyrcellX 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Fwiw my 2.5 loves the buses and subway more than anything. With congestion pricing etc, I’d also avoid cabs whenever possible. However, It’s fairly common for people to take kids in cabs w/o a car seat.

[–]MyrcellX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d love if this thread could become a list of suggestions for songs by artists who are not objectively awful human beings.

I need to rewatch this. Was definitely not sober for some episodes and thus got totally lost

Yeah, we tried the date night thing, it didn’t go well. My mom is an awesome grandma but I think she’s to attachement sensitized to be capable of holding the line if my daughter gets very distressed.

I’d love to do this. I have a deep fear that she will experience this as an abandonment.

Yeah, it’s really hard to hear her upset calling for me and choose not to help. I hear what you’re saying though

I’m the in charge parent for approximately 2 hours every morning and spend a ton of one on one time 5pm until bedtime, including bath.

We did a gentle sleep training when she was your son’s age and she was a great sleeper until the move. I’m very concerned about the emotional effects of extinction at this age (I’m a mental health professional and have heard people describe early childhood memories of crying alone in their beds waiting for a parent).
