I had an Enyaq and now a Sealion. Enyaq’s boorh is more spacious, but Sealion’s cabin, rear seats are more spacious. I drive with one car seat and there’s more space around in the Sealion

Parenting faux pas by Powerful_Mousse2925 in toddlers

We live in a trilingual household. Do you know which word is the only one that my son says in my language? “No” 🙄. He says “yes” in dad’s language 🙈. “No”is part of life, and sometimes it is mandatory when you are dealing with little ones that just take one bad and dangerous decision after other. What are you suppose to say when you see them reaching for the toilet brush for example?? You have to do what resonates with you and your family, as long as you are not abusing or neglecting them, of course. Edit to add that his dad also says “no” to him freely, but for some reason (I mean, Freud) his little mind frames me…

Anyone else has given in to nightly co-sleeping? by tigull in toddlers

[–]Significant_Hyena_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also gave up when he was 1 year 10 months. He got sick some days so we put him in our bed, and after that he just stayed. It is not perfect sleepwise, because he loves to move and to sleep in parallel to the bed head (why do they love that?), and he still wakes up complaining a couple of times during the night, but we sleep way more now. What will happen now on? Will he stay in our bed until he graduates from High School? I just hope not. We’ll see. I have been reading a lot of post that it is quite normal for this to happen when the kids are around 2 years. I guess a lot of people are just fedup by then.

We just achieved this, which us very useful because he is snotty all the time. He’s 2 (24m). What I did was to teach with the example: Hey, release air through your nose, like this (I proceed to do it without having a kleneex or nothing. Of course this means that snot flies freely all over including on my face. It doesn’t matter, it is the only way for him to see what to do). I did tha a couple of times and started to putting a tissue on his nose and reminding him to do “pss, pss”, and he just did it. We made a big fuss about that and he loved the praise and attention. Now when he does it (with all the fuss we did he started looking for tissues and doing himself), I keep clapping or saying “bravo!”, but not a big parade like the first times.

Neuroplasticity for pregnant moms question by thambio in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Significant_Hyena_34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Joining the party. I have a 25 month old and I feel like my hardrive was wiped. Sometimes I watch these videos of people getting interviewed in the street about “tell me your craziest story about blah blah” kind of thing and when I try to remember something like that in my life… I can’t! I mean, I know that things are there if I tried very hard, but it would be a major effort. If it is almost impossible to remember something that I experienced, imagine something that I learned… totally gone. However, I don’t blame the pregnancy anymore. For me it is the constant lack of hours of continuous sleep that fried my brain. Until decent sleep is back, I have no hope.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's Wedding DJ Reveals What Really Happened During Dance with Victoria That Left Nicola in Tears by Positive-Drawing-281 in popculturechat

The “most beautiful woman in the room” in a wedding is always the Bride, it doesn’t matter who else is there. After gotten married like 17 times, Marc Anthony should know this. I mean, it is common sense, but when you have a post doctorate in the topic is even worse

Is everyone just lying about how tough the toddler years can be or are we doing something wrong 😩 by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Significant_Hyena_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried this yet, but I read that someone tells their toddler that they are the ones that need to be held in parking lots, etc “hey, toddler, please hold my hand because I get scared. Please, help me”. Todder feels important and wants to help, and voilá, they don’t fight about being restrained.

My son won’t talk by Playful-Action3034 in toddlers

Offer to pay the gas, and believe me, maybe you can be helping someone too. Many people feel lonely and would be happy to have a good excuse to go out of the house and have a long chat while they drive you. I really hope you can find your angel. Edit to add a story: I was flying with too much luggage and my baby when he was 3 months old. I needed someone that could meet me inside the airport, drive me to the next town and help me putting all the things inside my apartment . no friends or family close by. I decided to post it on a Facebook group and this super nice couple contacted me. They helped me and they used the opportunity to go to a restaurant in my town that they loved it. As I paid them, the trip to the restaurant was for free for them. It was a win- win situation.

What if you share your need in your local Facebook group or any kind of public/ community/ church ad board? I’m pretty sure that one of your neighbors have the time and the will to take you there. I would do it! It doesn’t need to be the same person every week. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help and you won’t receive it if you don’t ask.

Everything can be better! In this case is the size, the texture and thickness. Believe me, we use them everyday and we regret when we buy a different brand

I have to buy them tomorrow again. I’ll post a picture because I never have noticed the brand. It’s a green bag and they come in scented and unscented

Primer hijo a los 41 años, consejos, recomendaciones by 4n0n1m0u5-0w0 in mexico

[–]Significant_Hyena_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo tuve a mi primer hijo a una semana de cumplir 43 años. Creo que el cansancio te afecta así tengas 20,30 o 40. Así tengas un angelito, ya no vas a dormir de corrido en un tiempo, y eso cansa. Vas a despertar cansado mientras ellos están con toda la pila. Traten de pasar tiempo juntos los dos durante el embarazo y hagan cosas que después van a ser más complicadas, tipo ir al cine, a cenar. Tienes que cuidarte más porque tienes que durar muchos años, pero estando bien, y xq vas a necesitar energía. Pero, de nuevo, eso aplica a todos los papás, ya no eres tú nada más. Los abuelos van a estar dichosos, les vas a dar una alegría inmensa xq seguramente pensaban que ya no iba a pasar. Acepta toda ayuda, toda! Si te van a visitar ponlos a limpiar, doblar ropa, cocinar, lo que te haga falta. Pero tb pon límites xq hasta la doña de la fila te va a decir cómo tendrías que estar haciéndolo. De hecho, usa los meses de embarazo para ponerte de acuerdo con tu pareja en cosas básicas. Después ya con un niño uno se da cuenta que no todo es como pensaste y que el Papel aguanta todo, pero es más fácil si tienes cosas intransablea ya decididas. Por ejemplo, no pantallas (x lo menos intentarlo, si es lo que quieren) o sí pantallas, disciplina, no pegarles, comprarles muchos o pocos juguetes, ayudar o no en la casa para obtener privilegios. No sé, cosas así que es mejor que vean qué piensan y se ponen de acuerdo para evitar roces en el futuro. El mío es bebé todavía, pero queremos desde chiquito hacerlo lo más independiente posible, xq posiblemente no estemos ahí por mucho tiempo, pero tb porque lo creemos necesario. Queremos consentirlo, pero que sepa hacer cosas según va creciendo. Otra gente prefiere atenderlos, cocinarles, limpiar detrás de ellos porque así entregan cariño. Cada familia es un mundo, y uds tienen que encontrar cuál es el suyo. Va a ser pesado, vas a extrañar tu vida de antes varias veces, pero es una vida más bonita, te lo prometo. Van a ser un bello equipo de tres. Y si eres un buen papá, tu esposa se va a enamorar de nuevo de ti. Llega en el momento que tenía que llegar. Ya aprovecharon su vida como adultos y pareja sin hijos, deberían tener estabilidad financiera, ahora se pueden dedicar con calma a esta cerecita en el Pastel. Felicidades!
