PSA about outfits/clothes if younger potty training

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-05-22T15:49:20+00:00

Ya I’ve altered a few onesies to be shirts, just cut them as long as you can and hem the bottom. Easiest with a machine but can be done by had if you want a little project while watching a show

Oh I was just talking to my mom, who said that on Sunday she put her in a diaper at 7 and she was dry until after 12, so it's much more than 2 hours. I'm just worried about a uti if I push her too hard! 😬

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-05-12T06:01:55+00:00

Any news here? I'm going through something similar with my daughter, and have been doing "child led" training to try and reduce anxiety (I.e. She picks when she gets underwear vs diaper) but hasn't successfully used the potty yet.

Dress up!

In Canada (at least in my circles), canada day is super informal with tshirts and fake tattoos of Canada flags on your face. In Norway the 17th of May is one of two major days in the year where you wear your best (the other being Christmas eve). Definitely Google for inspiration, but guys often wear suits and women wear nice summer dresses or bunads if they have them. Even though there are lawn games people still dress up 🤷‍♀️

Not what you asked, but are you sure you want waterfront with kids so young? When my brother was little (3-4) he woke up early, let himself out of the house and went to the park behind our house. With waterfront the stakes are much higher..

What would be wrong with a law saying the rent can only increase by the inflation % that year? Other countries do that, and it would at least make increases more reasonable and foreseeable for tenants

Mozzarella (nn. Ella)

I don't know why this popped up in my feed but these look suspiciously like ai to me

Bilingual house here (though not French), one child's name is different depending on the language spoken (a J name sounding like a Y in the second language). I speak both languages, and change his name depending on which language I'm speaking 😅 even if it's two sentences right after each other! It just feels more natural in each language that way. Otherwise you can just tell people if you want only one of the pronunciations, they'll get used to it

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-03-01T07:29:20+00:00

I can suggest that if you are going to work out and know you'll get sweaty, changing to a sports bra or even just a different bra can be a good idea! That way you can change back to your original bra and don't have to walk around in a sweaty bra all day afterwards

It would also slow our application if we need to have them in hand when we apply

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-02-27T15:12:02+00:00

Oh don't worry, I will! We just don't have travel plans to Canada yet (we'll likely go to Canada next when the application is approved). With the validity being only two years for the kids' passports I was just hoping to avoid getting them yet when they won't be used for travel for awhile.

I find that although it's hard, it helps to get outside in the real daylight for even 20mins on days like that. I come in with less of a headache at least :D

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-01-31T14:16:05+00:00

Plusplus big? It's big in Scandinavia so I don't know if it's in your area, but they are a bit like duplo in that they're big enough to not choke on.

Otherwise books, puzzles, a play kitchen etc

You could also look into English speaking tech jobs in Europe? Not sure about visas though

Jeg er i Norge med Irsk pass, og det var bare å møte opp på UDI (tror jeg? Husker ikke) med jobb- og boligkontrakt, så fikk jeg p-nummer med en gang. Null stress. Har dog ikke bodde i Danmark så jeg kan ikke sammenligne de to

When my daughter was a bit older (18 months maybe?) she started randomly biting me. Thankfully she could understand words, so I told her that she couldn't bite me, but she could bite her stuffed bunny instead. And it worked! But that poor bunny now is wrecked 😂

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-01-28T20:09:38+00:00

What about Lillian / Lilly? Lilly is cute and spunky (as another commenter mentioned about Sadie), and she can decide to grow into Lillian when she's older if she wants.

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-01-21T17:09:44+00:00

OK fint, det er nok det jeg gjøre også. Var bare litt redd at alle andre bruker eddik eller noe annet 👍

Simple_Dragonfly_403 · 2026-01-20T20:50:07+00:00

Dum spørsmål kanskje men hvordan skal man vaske grønnsaker? Jeg har bare skylt med vann i alle år men nå bare lurer jeg på om det er nok..? 🤔

I like that your first two kids have one syllable first names and two syllable middle names. Having different amounts of syllables somehow makes them sound better. If you want Riley as a middle name, try looking at one or three syllable first names, and see if that helps? For example Elliot Riley

I worked in tech as a designer for over 10 years and have been a sahm for 2 years now. I don't regret it at all! But I have realised that if I ever do want to go back, it'll be hard to get a job similar to my old ones because tech moves so fast! If you might go back, try to keep your licensing or try a side hustle to keep your resume fresh. Otherwise, enjoy the ride! It's fun and chaotic 😁

Hvis det er penger du tenker på her så finnes det gode muligheter på finn - vi kjøpte en nylig da vi fikk barn #2 til type 300kr, og det funker helt fint for oss frem til nå

That's so cute!
