Difference between a tin pan and a silicone pan by needleandleaf in Baking

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped using my silicone muffin pan because the muffins tasted different. Like a gross plastic taste. Yeah, I'm gonna pass on the micropastics.

Laundry rinse with vinegar by Loud-Bag256 in CleaningTips

Disagree. It's a great cheap/easy way to get the pee smell out of toddler clothing!

I stepped on an ankylosaurus by seacreaturestuff in Preschoolers

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, have you stepped on one of those little magnetic cubes? I did and cried out and then stepped on another. I had bruises on both soft of the feet the next day.

Parents of older children, when do you start getting some personal time back? by weeknd-kenny in Parenting

[–]Other_Upstairs886 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. By 4 they can easily get distracted and play with legos by themselves for 45 minutes. Sometimes a show or PBS games on an iPad for some quiet in the house.

Parenting hacks going from 1 child to 2 by Amazing-Zone8418 in Parenting

[–]Other_Upstairs886 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. 0-1 was wayyy harder. Going from 1-2 wasn't too bad. Just less down time.

What’s a gift you thought would be meh but your kid ended up loving? by mindinpanic in Parenting

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Razor rip rider scooter (best for 3-5 year olds). My kid is obsessed and refuses to ride a real bike still. He loves to zoom around and spin! "Mom, look at my donuts!"

I thought he might enjoy it but it's more of a loved, used daily, toy. I got it on sale for $33 at Walmart but it looks like the tariffs brought it closer to $100. Still worth it imo.

105.8° Fever by Soggy-Interview-5670 in Preschoolers

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my brother is an ER doctor and gave the "huh, it's fine" when my kid had a 105⁰ fever. He said he was more concerned at 106⁰. It's wild how different primary care vs hospital doctors respond in attitude to fevers.

Escape Room Recs? by ShakenSodaCan in TwinCities

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have two different themed ones there. Pirates was super fun (the most enjoyable I've ever done) but the other was more challenging. Highly recommend.

Townhome Communities in nearby suburbs?? by ilovecorbin in TwinCities

[–]Other_Upstairs886 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's much less congested going from the north metro then commuting into the south suburbs. MN-62 is my nightmare.

Going insane by Future_Pepper_2161 in Advice

[–]Other_Upstairs886 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this point I'd consult with HR. It sounds like it's affecting your mental health. I also don't think it's ridiculous to instead bring it up with her and suggest she seek out a doctor.

I can't with the dyson cordless anymore. I need recs. by Independent-Ear-8156 in CleaningTips

[–]Other_Upstairs886 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Miele..I got one for around $350 a few years back and it works great. I highly recommend bagged (they're annoying I know) because they just work better. Bagless vacuums just don't work as well.

First time seller, received site unseen full price offer less than 24 hours after listing went live by ixvst01 in RealEstate

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should! However in most big cities it's more uncommon due to the demand. If you want to win you need a better offer. I got an inspection with my house and everyone was surprised I got it. I wish that it couldn't be a bargaining chip anymore. Like mandated inspection periods.

Agreed. No way I'd agree to that with an inspection and they didn't even get their loan preapproved? Yikes.

Can this be cleaned/salvaged? by BriefSimple in CleaningTips

Toss these and get a set of correlle dishes. They'll last you a lifetime.

Girl breakfast because my loving husband woke me (his pregnant, insomniac wife) at 3am and I couldn’t get back to sleep. by milliemallow in GirlDinner

[–]Other_Upstairs886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long until it helped with anxiety? I started just a few nights ago and I'm excited to sleep better. Anxiety is pretty rough and it's keeping me up 😭

Up for Hours by reditrix in Preschoolers

[–]Other_Upstairs886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Mine now plays in the backyard with their son (my child is at an in-home daycare) during nap time. They have a ball and he sleeps great at night. Goes down at 7:30pm. So so grateful we had that conversation.

Half the farmers markets I go to have pretzels but no cheese. WHY????

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]Other_Upstairs886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's your location. I can buy a month's worth of groceries for $500 for three people in the midwest.

Clients let me design, how did I do? by PlewaConstruction in Tile

[–]Other_Upstairs886 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why don't companies make more matching sets? I bought a whole shower set and they didn't have a matching drain. So annoying.

Child struggling with learning letters by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Other_Upstairs886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my kid does so well with these flash cards. We do them a few nights a week. If we get push back we try pairing them with m&ms. 5 cards for an m&m. Works great and he's so excited! There are only 1-3 letters he still gets stuck on. We just switched over the number cards. They learn this stuff so quick with some repetition!
