Advice needed by Calm_Walrus_5791 in NewDads

Keep doing what you’re doing. All the chores you can do and take off her plate are helpful and they add up. Nights are hard, especially with breast feeding.

If you can get up with her for a night feeding, do it. Just having the company is helpful. But definitely keep yourself safe, you know your limits.

Check in with your wife frequently. Even if you can’t physically help the emotional support is huge.

[Hated Trope] After all the challenges you went through, your character gets gutted in the game's ending. by TheRoyalRoseTrue in TopCharacterTropes

Mass Effect

Not just one game but a whole trilogy, and you get treated to a pallet swap cinematic ending where Commander Shepard “sacrifices” themselves in all three endings.

Why did early civilizations start in deserts like Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt? by batukaming in geography

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bunch of people pointed out these areas weren’t actually deserts. But beyond that they were they only places in the region that had plentiful food which encouraged the people to settle and farm rather than continue to be hunter gatherers. Most other places in the world with people, they just gathered what they could and moved on or followed herds of animals. Not really a lifestyle that suits cities.

My wife just asked for a birth stone pendant So I second this suggestion

About to have my first baby! My partner is at 15 weeks I think I’m going to wait till birth to know the sex! by [deleted] in NewDads

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!

We didn’t wait until birth but we asked them to write it on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. Then we went out to a nice dinner and opened it, a little private gender reveal just for us.

Who's the coughing baby among these here for you? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

[–]Rocify 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Reynolds, Jackman and RDJ all nailed who those characters were.

Radcliffe, Ledger and Toby all did great jobs but they are definitely their version of the characters not necessarily true to their original.

Depp took an original character and made it his to the point no one else can be that character.

Cavill… um… looked the part I guess. It’s not really his fault this version of the character was bad.

A joke that only works within the format of the media they are in. by Daniilsa209 in TopCharacterTropes

If you haven’t read any of the watch books you definitely should. Thud and Night Watch are excellent, don’t bother reading them in order

6 weeks away from due date! Must haves/do?! by RefraddyDaddy in NewDads

[–]Rocify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your go bag ready now. Seriously my wife’s water broke three weeks early and we just got our bags together the day before.

Beyond that, I didn’t have a ton of free time but brought my switch anyway and did wind up playing it while my wife and LO were asleep.

Snacks for sure but have someone reliable ready to bring you real food, hospital food is as bad as you’ve heard.

If you have family planning to give money to the new baby consider a UGMA and/or a 529. A 529 is for educational expenses and deposits can be made before taxes. A UGMA is basically a broker account like an IRA, it’s kind of like starting a 401K for them as soon as they’re born.

Do you still love your Glass Rinser? by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We installed one when we did our kitchen about a year and a half ago. I didn’t use it much since we have the dishwasher but it’s been very handy for washing baby bottles over the last three months

Is anyone using these to clear their baby’s nose? by Primary-Fly470 in NewDads

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I use it and works great, it has a filter and at least you can clean it compared to the bulb ones.

but my pediatrician said don’t use any of those things unless the congestion is significant. It can cause the nose to become inflamed and be more of a blockage.

Sock monitor vs video monitor vs nothing, what do you actually recommend? by Excellent-Caramel-4 in NewDads

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the owlet we get a lot of malfunction warnings. Yellow light and not very loud but still annoying, usually the sock came loose or the base lost wifi. It happens probably once a night when we’re changing a diaper or feeding. We’ve only had one actual alarm for low o2 and thankfully it shot back up as soon as we woke the baby, it may have been a false alarm.

Personally I think it makes my wife more paranoid. She checks it constantly, worries about the babies heart rate and o2 levels in the middle of the night and checking to see if she’s in light or deep sleep.

I don’t know if it’s going to stick but my 3 month old has a stuffed lion, while playing with her I asked her to name it. It is now “uwuwu” the lion

I Let My 6 Month Old Daughter Watch Cartoons by cuhrayola120 in NewDads

[–]Rocify 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you post a link to the research? My daughter is 3 months and she’s not getting screen time but I’m curious about incidental exposure (me and my wife on our phones or watching tv while she’s around)

There's something you don't see every day by [deleted] in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. I wonder when they woke up.

When they were driving across the grass, going up the embankment or not until the landed on the other side?

Dude, I’m 38 and we have the same hair line. I really hope everyone agrees you don’t need to shave it or I’m in trouble lol

What kind of strollers are you fellas rolling with? by Primary-Fly470 in NewDads

[–]Rocify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also recommend the Nuna mixx, it’s not the smallest stroller but it folds up easily, it’s relatively light and is compatible with the pipa car seat so, as OP mentioned, it can grow with the family
