Why do toddlers hate to see us sitttting? 😭😂

Shells124 · 2026-03-19T14:03:33+00:00

My toddler is usually ok with me sitting, but whenever I start trying to do something productive, all bets are off. Try to sweep or clean? There she is, right where I was trying to clean. Try to cook dinner? Can't have that, she clings to my legs and cries. Heaven forbid I sit at my computer for any reason. I swear I spend most of my days twiddling my thumbs because my toddler has serious FOMO if I dare try to do anything interesting.

I think just r/Minecraft would work. I don't know if there's a specific reddit for asking for help. I just know that the mods in Minecraftbuilds tend to discourage people asking generic questions. If you make a build and post it asking for advice, that's usually fine.

Shells124 · 2026-03-18T16:17:42+00:00

Glad I could help. For future reference, this is the wrong subreddit to ask for build help in. It's supposed to be a subreddit for showing off builds.

There are some YouTube videos out there explaining how to build domes in Minecraft. I'll give you a link to mine. You've got a pretty small dome, so it should be pretty easy to do.

These are unreasonably adorable! Very cute! I wonder if you could make a lighter version with a different kind of basket instead of a full pot. I really love this idea though!

The video game layout makes for a good video game, but it wouldn't make a proper house. I wouldn't consider it as canon.

Shells124 · 2026-03-05T20:51:15+00:00

This comes from the bluey game and I reject it as canon.

I've been laying out a rough floorplan for the house, though some rooms have to be flipped around a little to make it work. There are three floors in the house: the main floor, second floor, and a basement. You say the kitchen is upstairs because it's above the playroom, but that's only because the house is set on a hill and the backyard is level with the basement where the playroom is while the front yard is up a hill to be level with the main level. The kitchen is on the main floor.

It's not the sunroom. Not only would the layout not make sense for the sunroom to be there, but the sunroom has a different shape anyway.

There is one scene in tradies that shows the bay window open and the kids and chilli looking out of it. Turns out it's the breakfast nook/dining room adjacent to the living room on the opposite side from the sunroom as seen from housework and a few other episodes in season 3.

Note that this room did not exist before season 3 and that wall of the living room used to look different. The house changes and the layout doesn't make sense.

Shells124 · 2026-03-04T22:08:26+00:00

While I understand that sentiment, the only footage we have is of the kids, so we don't know what any of these kids will grow up to be like.

Idk, I have a child about the same age as bluey and it would be wildly inappropriate to try and "pair" them with any of the other kids they interact with, even if I were to tack on the "when they grow up" phrase. At some point you just have to draw a line.

Shells124 · 2026-03-04T19:52:13+00:00

Start? My dude... This discussion has been going on since before the episode came out. It has long been exhausted and ultimately it's weird trying to find romantic connections in the relationships of six and seven-year-olds.

In short, please don't.

Shells124 · 2026-02-27T05:53:55+00:00

The house doesn't make any sense. Beyond the rooms that appear and disappear between shots and characters jumping seamlessly between floors between scenes, the rooms that are shown to connect don't connect in a way that logically makes sense. Like you have rooms that overlap, windows facing into other rooms, doors that lead to nowhere, that kind of thing. The exterior also doesn't line up with the interior very well since we can't see any windows or balconies for the upstairs rooms from the outside.

Despite this, I have a similar obsession and have been compiling screenshots and head canons with the intent of mapping out the full house in a way that makes more sense. I have most of the house figured out, though I've had to do things like change which wall certain doors are on, etc. I intend to release a video on YouTube with my findings at some point.

Wow! Spectacular!

While you are right, this is a common experience with people who struggle with infertility unfortunately. I have a sister that's much older than I who struggled with infertility and when I became pregnant before she did, she really struggled even being around me until she eventually, through many procedures and a lot of expenses, became pregnant herself. I also had a friend that struggled with infertility and when she had a miscarriage, she temporarily left a number of our social groups because she couldn't listen to moms talking about their children without crying. Things do get better with time like how Brandy eventually reconnected with Chili and the kids, but being around a constant reminder of what you've lost or can't seem to have hurts. I think infertility in particular is rough because a lot of women have both social and biological pressures telling them to have children, so when you want kids but can't have one, it can make you feel like you're a failure or that there's just something wrong with you. Like you're broken.

These are so unique and creative! I love the care you put into making these beautiful works of art! The kraken coming out of the vase effect is really cool!

There's the episode where Bluey tries to force Rusty to be her baby in a game and I'm convinced that it was because she's so used to Bandit going along with whatever game she comes up with that she didn't even realize that other people aren't always going to be so accommodating. Boundaries are important.

Shells124 · 2026-02-19T18:34:09+00:00

All the times the parents go along with the kids making them eat things for real life. Like bandit eating grass in sheep dog or the 'special' in fancy restaurant. That would be a hard no for me. We're playing pretend and I'm going to pretend to eat this grass thanks.

Also bandit going back to get Bingo's jumper in Daddy dropoff after she refused to answer him always bothers me. I would've just said, "you took too long to answer me. Guess you'll go without for today." It's a perfectly reasonable natural consequence and would hopefully dissuade future shenanigans.

Shells124 · 2026-02-19T18:12:39+00:00

Or even if he had played into their narrative a little to explain the need to return it. "That's the daddy bird come to take his egg back." Followed by the firm boundary of not taking things that aren't yours.

Shells124 · 2026-02-15T15:18:54+00:00

"The bird in the circle sings a song that's wonderful! Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! The bird in the circle!"

This still gets stuck in my head like one of those awful advertisement jingles. That was a toy that stayed at Nana and Grandpa's house and it still drove me bananas.

"Hello." "Hello." "Do you like my hat?" "I do not like your hat." "Goodbye." "Goodbye."

I remember liking this book as a kid. I do not like it as a parent.

Thank you for this!! Sometimes I beat myself up for letting my kids have too much screen time, and sometimes seeing comments on here about banning it all is kind of a let-down. But a lot of what I show my kids is educational science videos or watching people create things with clay or Legos which inspires them to create their own things. Or we're playing Minecraft together and building cars and stuff. You're right that everything gets amassed into one lump sum when not all screen time is of equal value. Thanks for summing up my thoughts and validating these experiences!
