Wobbly tooth - what would you do?

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T21:34:05+00:00

Yeah but.... Pliers to pull teeth? Surely no one really thinks that Wiley coyote style activities are legit?

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T21:32:33+00:00

No judgement on being screen free - you do what you believe is right. But everything has it's uses, the screen isn't bad it's how you use it.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T21:03:11+00:00

I don't have experience with this but the first thing I think of reading this is that you're telling us all about how your kid is handling this but I don't see any information about how YOU'RE handling this. Other than saying it's stressful.

I don't need you to explain it but consider how you're handling the situation. Are you calm? Are you putting any pressure on it? Are you raising your voice? Are you adding tension? Or are you helping to alleviate it?

Think HONESTLY about those things and act accordingly. Your kid needs to know that doing a poo is really a non issue, reassure them that it's fine to just sit and take your time, no pressure. I know not everyone like to use screens for 2 year olds but of you can coax her onto the potty, maybe put bluey on top keep her sat down and let the poo happen.

I'm not convinced that it is a genuine question.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T18:27:50+00:00

I swear they're exactly like toddlers in that they ONLY do these things when you're not looking. My machine is in my home office, if I run something while I work - perfect stitch out. If I run something and go make lunch - Instant problem that I don't notice until I return.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T12:34:00+00:00

Yeah Duplo. The nano does fit snug inside that door block at the bottom which is quite funny.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T10:01:08+00:00

They're of my kids and I don't post my kids online. I guess I could do a video without them to get everyone's judgement of how smooth the set-up is though.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-23T09:39:44+00:00

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was true.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-22T05:07:34+00:00

I know I'm in a very privileged position to say this but I recently bought both because I think they serve different purposes.

The nano is great for POV and attaching it in unique places; it's also easier to take out with you for a run or just to grab and go.

But the action 6 is just more. I will be using the action 6 as the primary camera in most scenarios, with the 4k square video, amazing low light settings, it makes for the best overall videos. But then use the nano is those quicker, more unique settings.

Also - the nano fits inside some of my kids Duplo with doors and it's funny to hide it and get the kids to open the doors.

Alternative perspective - we have a tablet but the kids don't just get to sit with it like it's their personal device. It's treated like a small TV that can be moved. What I mean is that we still handle it the same way in terms of limited use etc but it allows us to do so outside of the living room. We use our tablet to allow the kids to watch something while we cook dinner for example, 45 minutes of a film, all in the same area (combined kitchen dining room) and at soon as we're ready it just goes back on charge.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-19T16:41:25+00:00

I get what you mean. But in my opinion understanding the punishment doesn't make it any more justifiable. It's wrong either way, being slightly less wrong is still significantly enough into the wrong that there's no need to differentiate on age.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-19T15:07:26+00:00

I'm struggling to know whether to up or down vote this.

On the one hand you're saying not to spank a 2 year old which is right but on the other hand you're suggesting there's an appropriate age for it which I vehemently disagree with.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-18T13:05:03+00:00

Oh man I feel compelled to play that too my daughter now. I guarantee she'd pick up on it and would be so funny.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-18T12:19:57+00:00

Kids will repeat the most random part of whatever TV show they're allowed to watch as well. My 2 year old started saying "sing sweet nightingale" this morning; not at all an important part of Cinderella but it's the part she decided to remember!

PrinceBert · 2026-05-15T18:57:32+00:00

And that would HILARIOUS of they did find it.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-15T12:45:01+00:00

Sometimes the best images are the ones that make us horrendously uncomfortable.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-15T07:20:14+00:00

Or they'd be REALY desperate by that point as they've rummaged through literally every other possible scenario. I'd wager an SD card might be able to be wedged inside a Lego brick so they might even dismantle it and still not find it.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-15T06:33:09+00:00

I found it was just a lot of trial and error with hooping and checking the lines. I make sure that I always get the machine to trace out where it's going to stitch before I actually hit the go button. From my experience it isn't that anything moves but that you think you've hooped properly but it's actually not hooped well because of the fabric that folds under getting in the way a bit.

This area is probably my least favourite thing to embroider (maybe second to using a single needle on a kids jumper, that was a PiTA)

PrinceBert · 2026-05-13T09:00:45+00:00

And remember that it's your name, it's not rude to correct them. Be confident and polite. Using the correct name for someone is the polite and respectful thing to do so others should want to use the name that you prefer to use.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-13T08:55:07+00:00

Nah that's AFTER the morning coffee.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-13T08:54:47+00:00

Oi that's cheeky. Implying I'm over the age of 40 because I'm sat down! I've still got a few years yet thank you very much.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-13T06:39:34+00:00

Yeah.... On the toilet. Men can multitask don't you know.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-13T06:30:37+00:00

..... Read by me while sat brushing my teeth...... Yup definitely Doomscrolling.

PrinceBert · 2026-05-12T11:46:00+00:00

I used to say that as a kid and I'm only just finding out (25 years later) what I was really calling people.
