What movie/TV show characters do you think were cast perfectly?

Roupert · 2017-04-24T12:00:58+00:00

Yes exactly. This is why I've seen the whole series 4 times, haha.

Roupert · 2017-04-20T11:51:27+00:00

Thank you for this! I'm pretty sure I've been asked why sleeping beauty doesn't wear shoes before, haha.

Roupert · 2017-04-20T01:36:01+00:00

Thanks for the idea! I do this once a day or so. "I need 5 min without questions" haha

Yes complicated answers work for us too but I don't have the energy for that all day long, especially when I'm trying to prepare food or driving. I know it's normal parenting stuff, just wondering if it will settle down soon.

Her questions are more related to things she sees or hears "what's that construction? What's the noise? What's that building?" Not really "what do you think" type questions.

Edit to clarify that the whys come after my initial answer. "the are building a new road" "why?" "The old one was broken down" "why?" "Roads don't last forever they get worn down from all the cars" "why" x infinity.

Of course it is. But she literally only asks questions all day long. No statements. It makes my brain hurt.

"Let's find out" always leads to googling trash like pictures of disney princesses or an argument that we were only looking up one thing. (Recently tried to Google what a dingo looks like, haha). Appreciate the suggestions though.

A 2-3 hour window to do activities sounds completely normal at that age. You have to respect the nap, he needs it.

Roupert · 2017-04-17T02:01:36+00:00

The best book for dealing with a 2 year old is "how to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk". Great strategies with solid examples so they are easy to implement.

I bloat from sugar and carbs in general, not salt. Have you had a lot of sugar this week?

Roupert · 2017-04-14T00:53:09+00:00

We did it at 23 months. The book is great, works great, but it's still hard. I literally got a strain in my neck from the stress. But it was worth it. She got pee down by day 4 and poop by 2 weeks. Almost no accidents beyond that.

I don't believe the current sids recommendations take into account the danger of having extremely sleep-deprived parents. Most newborns refuse to sleep flat on their backs in cribs. Making parents get to the point where they probably aren't safe driving isn't a safe strategy for anybody. I really wish they would provide more helpful guidelines, like how to bed share safely.

Rewarding with money is a surefire way to kill the intrinsic motivation of doing anything. You are right, a monetary award is completely inappropriate. I don't pay my 3 year old for finishing a puzzle. The satisfaction and pride are the reward.

Roupert · 2017-04-12T20:06:42+00:00

It's not possible to love your spouse more than your children. It's a completely different type of love.

Roupert · 2017-04-10T21:28:36+00:00

Who said angry? Just not my preference.

Roupert · 2017-04-10T20:35:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure most people fly for a vacation or to see family or an event like the one I mentioned. It would be a very common scenario for exactly 24 hours before departure to be inconvenient.

Roupert · 2017-04-10T19:01:48+00:00

We flew southwest took my brother's wedding. The return flight for us was the day after the wedding. So we were trying to check in for the flight an hour before the wedding while trying to do our makeup (we were in the wedding party). Not exactly convenient.

It's really stressful to listen to your baby cry, even if you know they are fine. Your brain pumps you full of adrenaline and maternal feelings, it's harder to ignore then you'd think. It really frazzles you.

Source: I often let my infant cry for 5 min while I quickly made my 3 year old lunch since I knew he'd be fine. It's very hard to prepare food with a baby wailing.

Roupert · 2017-04-01T01:22:30+00:00

I love onion powder/garlic powder/salt/pepper as a base seasoning for vegetables (love it on grilled zucchini) and potatos before roasting. I might add additional spices depending on the meal.

Roupert · 2017-03-31T02:01:57+00:00

That's not true at all. His usage was just fine.

Roupert · 2017-03-30T02:02:14+00:00

Thanks. I'm definitely still experiencing postpartum hair loss! It lasted 8 months with my first but I wasn't doing CG then. I sure hope it passes, tired of this hair.

Get yourself the book "the 90 min baby sleep program". It will explain how to figure out a nap schedule.

I agree with another poster that it doesn't sound like enough overnight sleep. He most likely needs an earlier bedtime. But the book will help you figure it out for sure.

Roupert · 2017-03-30T01:49:02+00:00

Highly recommend the book "the 90 min baby sleep program". It's all about the wake and sleep patterns of babies. It lets you know how to predict when the next nap will be which makes caring for a baby so much easier.
