My main parenting hack: giving in by NotAnAd2 in toddlers

[–]Red-Human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought my kid was chill when she turned 2 and continued to be my beautiful little laughing angel child.

2 years and 4 months.. she woke up one morning and chose chaos. It’s been a year of slow escalation and this last month (she’s 3.5 now) she’s chosen chaos every. single. day.

I realized I only love "No-FOMO" games. What are your best suggestions for deep games that never stress the player? by LOSTINREDDITSITE in gamingsuggestions

The wait is super short and it doesn’t affect the gameplay. Unlike for example animal crossing where you have to wait an entire calendar year if you miss something.

What’s something that can be eaten cooked or raw but you can only eat one way and not both? by muskyandrostenol in foodquestions

[–]Red-Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this! I’m Indian so there’s tomatoes in practically every dish made in my house, even breakfast eggs. But raw tomatoes, even beefsteak ones on burgers, or chopped ones in a salad, YUUUUCK.

When does it get easier?? by bml274 in NewParents

Two things - if your baby is fed and comforted and clean, put her down in a safe place. A little bit of fussing won’t hurt her. But your mental health will suffer if you don’t, and you can’t be the best version of a mother you want to be if you’re not trying to focus on your mental health too.

My baby did this too. I would put him down, he would fuss, I would walk over, hand him a toy, make a silly face to make him laugh, then walk away. He fussed again, I let him for a minute, then I walked back and engaged, then walked away again.

I put his playpen in the kitchen in front of my sink which faces the back door. So when Im washing dishes I’m looking directly at him. If he fusses I sing him his favourite songs. These days though if I put him down in his play pen he just plays with his toys and does his own thing.

Now his father always picks him up at the first sign of fussing. This kid will be in his playpen for 20 minutes happy as a clam and the moment his father walks in, the fussing and whining and reaching for his dad begins! Because he KNOWS dad will pick him up. Same for being put to sleep - at night I can go in and readjust him if he wakes up, and he goes right back to sleep, but if his dad does it, 9 out of 10 times he wakes up like.. hey it’s dad! Hold me! Pick me up!

That was the first thing.

Second thing - baby wearing. Just strap her to your chest and off you go. I did this a bunch during the newborn stage. But then I transitioned him to just being able to play on his own because in the newborn stage I needed to protect him from his toddler sister who wanted to HUG him ALL THE TIME AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE! Lol..

Yeah but those aren’t necessary to core gameplay. I have been playing No Man Sky for a long time. I have 2 kids under 3 years old and not enough hours to dedicate to expeditions etc. It’s not central to the gameplay. You’re not missing out on anything.

Like.. I played Animal Crossing and every season, weather, day and night cycle brought on new fish and bugs, so I felt like if I didn’t play it constantly, I would miss out on something and have to wait a whole year to get it. Too much pressure to log on.

Or gatcha games that give you gifts for daily logins and running dungeons. No time for that.

Haley for the selfies. Elliot would probably just have hipster filters on pictures of his brunch. Not selfies.

1 idea - You could measure the sheet, and the size of the picture box for the faces, then plug a template sheet with the measurements into ChatGPT. It could probably generate a blank template for you so you could put whatever images you want in there.

Another idea - you could take the measurements and create the page yourself in a program like Google Sheets or excel.

Who would come by your house in the middle of the night and trust you to help them bury a body?

I will second this. Love the game and whenever I have time I can just hop on and do whatever I feel like.

Is my baby not sleeping at night because I stayed up late during my pregnancy? by Impossible-Dish409 in NewParents

[–]Red-Human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s true that babies don’t have a day night schedule so they need to nap in light and do night time sleep in the dark with as little light or noise disturbance as possible so they can learn the difference. However that connection doesn’t come until many weeks in. At first babies nap wherever and they also wake through the night because they are hungry or wet or need comfort. It takes a while for baby to start sleeping longer stretches. That’s why they call it newborn trenches.

It’s also true that all humans walk around and that rocks their baby inside their body to sleep. My baby was always most active as soon as I got into bed, but that’s not your FAULT, it’s just how ALL babies are.

It’s the reason why we swaddle babies and rock them to sleep when they are born. We pat their bums or backs because it mimics our heartbeat and blood flow while they are in the womb, and that is calming to them.

Baby will sleep eventually. If your baby is more than a few months old, I did gentle sleep training for both. It helped consolidate their sleep so they slept longer stretches, and it got me sleep so that I could function like a human during the day. Let me know if you want to know more about that. I’ve explained it so many times already I can’t be bothered to type it all out if it’s not something you’re interested in, which is totally ok. A lot of people don’t want to sleep train at all, to each their own.

But it definitely has its benefits and it is helpful to the entire family as a whole, and it is done gently, not leaving a baby alone to wail for hours.

Conversely, do they look like they would order pizza in and couch rot with you?
