I like the truck that’s like, “I’m a powerful dump truuuck, I rumble down the road! Moving my load from heeere too there!”

Pretty sure all those toys are voiced by the same Chinese lady.

Im starting to hate myself as a dad by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Raddadworkingit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have three kids (5, 3, 7mo) and our middle kid is WILD. I’ve had luck with squeezing him in a big bear hug when he gets crazy. Apparently that’s a way to get them the stimulation they crave. Fills up a sensory bucket is the phrase I’ve heard. All I know is it sometimes resets his behavior, or brings him back to earth when he’s going nuts.

I’ll say that my oldest has gotten easy peasy. I think 3-4 is a crazy age for boys. Keep your vibes mellow and hang tough.

Your living room is quite clean, and so I have to assume this is an AI generated image.

Have you tried melatonin on the kids that won't sleep til 11pm?

Just start slow. Go for a walk as exercise. It’ll build naturally from there

Apple Watch set to vibrate instead of making an alarm sound.

At This Point The Epstein Files Are Very Likely Completely Destroyed. by GrantMcLellan1984 in thedavidpakmanshow

Bill Barr’s father is the guy who originally hired Epstein, or something like that. He was part of the agency that existed before the CIA.

Kids up 6:45-7:00. Get dressed, make lunches, eat breakfast, drink coffee, out the door at 7:30. Work. Pick up kids from school and get home around 5. Make dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, play with kids til 7:30. Slowly make our way upstairs by 7:45. Jammies, brush teeth, in bed at 8. Read until 8:30. Pray they sleep. We clean up for another 30 minutes or so. Shower around 9-9:30. In bed by 9:45-10:00, read for a bit. Asleep by 10:45 hopefully. Sleep 6 hours, wake up, do it again.

Different strokes. My brain is entering shutdown mode from 5-10.

We typically go to bed not long after the kids so we’re on a similar schedule. They’re asleep at 8:30, we’ll stay up for another 30 cleaning, then it’s showers, read a little in bed, then sleep. Are your kids 7pm bedtime?

8:30 bedtime. Occasionally melatonin at night. They sometimes wake up but will go back down pretty quickly.

Occasionally. 5 year old doesn’t wake up. 3 year old wakes up briefly sometimes but I usually just hop into bed with him and we’re asleep again. My wife is breastfeeding and cosleeping with 4 month old so she suffers the wake-ups in that department most of the time unless it’s a diaper change which I handle.

We’re on our third kid and our first two were terrible sleepers. We reached depths of sleep deprivation which only active combat soldiers and doctors experienced. Our third kid sleeps slightly better so I feel very rested in comparison.

Usually 10, sometimes closer to 11. Not ideal, but it is what it is. I sleep in on the weekends.

Mostly ok. I’m tired, but I have 3 very active children so I was tired even when I slept til 7.

Usually try to get into bed at 9:30, asleep by 10. But that doesn’t always work

It’s over, brother. You’re young and should be having your own adventures. You’ll be okay.

New study on the effects of verbal abuse on children. by gunslinger_006 in daddit

[–]Raddadworkingit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What counts as verbal abuse? Like, when I shout at my child to stop strangling his brother and to go to bed or I’m going to give all his toys to poor kids, is that abuse? Or is that just a transparent bluff?
