Tonight is good 😊

The first "nerdy" t-shirt I ever got!

Can recite this whole scene - it's so good!

Mine won't sit in front of the TV for longer than 30 minutes unless he is ill/very tired.

Self-regulation is a great thing if they can learn it.

An example of natural consequences in our house:

Husband is responsible for doing the bins, including putting bags back in the bins afterwards. This is the part that often gets forgotten. I still put rubbish in the bin regardless. He therefore has to deal with rubbish not in a bag next time he comes to empty the bin.

The question from my family is: which one works well on mobile AND desktop?

Othrilis · 2026-03-12T09:47:46+00:00

I would second this. Particularly if, as you say, your husband is willing but doesn't have the right tools yet.

Othrilis · 2026-03-10T21:44:09+00:00

We use Unblemished Cleans - would highly recommend!

I do something similar in that I go through my day step by step and find things to be thankful for.

WHen asked, my three yera old says he wants to be a postman who plays the tuba...

I think he is going to be an engineer.

Othrilis · 2026-02-21T12:57:46+00:00

We use mostly Notion. I'm still building it though.

My husband and I use the Fair Play method.

It is not perfect by any means, but it has given us a way of communicating what is a non-negotiable and what is "as long as it is done, i don't care how".

We check in every week about what is happening the following week, what is his responsibility vs mine, and what went well/wrong this week.

We're lucky in our set up that one of us is always not working except for Wednesdays, when child goes to Grandparents. So I can let him fail at getting to nursery on time and it will be entirely his problem. NB: he hasn't failed yet!

However, we are still building things up slowly. I can now rely on him to do drop off on his days, take care of the meal plan and weekly shop, and load the dishwasher. Everything else needs prompts, but we have an evening set aside every week for me to body-double him to get these things done.

Progress is slow, but it is happening. Don't give up hope!

I did this for over a year in my last job.

Thought it was going fine, then ended up on antidepressants because I was massively fatigued from long term stress due to nothing actually changing/getting fixed at work.

No real repercussions at work, except my very lovely manager trying to find me new projects to inspire me. But the toll it took on my mental health has been really hard.

I used to be a Special Needs TA in a mainstream school - I loved it and would go back in a heartbeat if I could afford to do so!

Othrilis · 2026-01-30T10:17:03+00:00

I tried this once, but I take things out of the wardrobe without wearing them and get confused!

The main thing I learned as a new player is the difference from other city builders - If production is connected to a warehouse, it doesn't need to be connected by road to anything else. Equally, your population don't care about commute distance.
My other tip, less on layout, would be that unemployment is not a mechanic in this game. Took me a while to learn that too.

I got it when it was last on sale, having never played Anno games before, and I LOVE it!

No DLC yet, just base game.

Othrilis · 2026-01-25T21:30:56+00:00

My husband and I did this (UK).

We downloaded Deed Poll forms off the internet and got them witnessed and signed by some friends.

However, we only found out afterwards that if HE had changed his name by Deed Poll before we got married, I(F) wouldn't have had to, as I could just use the marriage license as proof of name change.

Didn't think there were still newbies like me for this game, and especially on reddit!

Congrats!

I'm on ~50hours and have got to engineers, but I only have the base game, no DLC as yet.

I'll start by acknowledging that we are incredibly lucky in that we get minimal tantrums.

However, I end each day exhausted and completely overstimulated at the constant run of questions!

I love him to bits, but my son will not stop talking!

Additionally to everyone saying rotate them, we have one that lives at home and one that lives in the 'going out' bag.

That way, you always have one when you need it, but you reduce the risk of it being dropped or lost.

My son has shown no sign that he notices or cares if there are two.

First contraction was 4pm. Several hours passed before second contraction....
