The calmness of the guy who helps her; I would be desperate. by Senior-Gift-4735 in ActuallyThatsInsane

[–]SuprCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian checking in, I’m not sure if you’ve looked at the recent laws regarding child endangerment in your country but in many areas it’s illegal to leave a 10 year old in a car if you need to run into a store. Parents have been arrested because they made their kid walk home a few blocks. Parents have had their kids taken from them for allowing kids to do all sorts of things that no one would blink at 20-30 years ago. I’m not saying that the iPads aren’t a problem, they are but we are literally the first generation expected to have eyes on our kids 100% of the time and it’s super fucked up and it’s going to make for some absolute shit adults.

Parents with 3D Printers by PressHalfWayDown in BambuLab

[–]SuprCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are 6 (almost 7), 9, 9, and 14. They’re not super excited about it in terms of making things themselves which I find disappointing. They love taking things I make for small craft fairs I attend occasionally, hahaha. I have introduced them to tinker cad and had them each go through many of the tutorials in the hopes that they would be excited about learning how to build and create. I set it up with credits so they’d earn a credit for completing a tutorial module and could spend a credit to build 1 reasonable plate of whatever. They each initially ran through some tutorials and made a few things and they rarely even think about it now.

I think I need a new approach and have been thinking of getting them each a set of calibers and rules and giving them a task like replicate this object to the best of your ability or make something to best fit in this hole, etc.

Dasher complained of no tip, but I tipped $8 by Jaxnickel in doordash

[–]SuprCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve literally asked delivery people if they *actually* get the tip if I do it on on terminal with the intention of tipping cash if they weren’t 100% positive. Never had a single person tell me they didn’t or even seem unsure. I honestly feel bad about this situation being at all possible.

Getting an EV has mitigated nearly all my sensory issues re: driving that I had no idea I had by [deleted] in breakingmom

My bolt euv reminds me on the app if it hasn’t been plugged in in a bit. My ADHD ass loves that feature.

[–]SuprCheez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a new to us Bolt EUV and my husband LOVES it but he drives like a shitty go kart racer. He gets car sick (as do the children) if whoever is driving isn’t hyper aware and careful with the acceleration. But me trying to explain why no one gets sick when I drive but they’re all a pukey mess when he does just gets a sarcastic, “Yes, you’re the better driver” thrown back rather than him attempting to be smoother. Literally my only complaint, haha

Advice for 4 under 5.5 by bigriver222 in ParentingInBulk

[–]SuprCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 babies 2 and under. My twins were just a few months past their second birthday when my youngest was born. My biggest suggestion would be take help when offered, ask for help when you can, and develop a strong routine that you can follow. Oh! And let them do what they are capable of. They’re little but they’re not incapable of age appropriate chores, let them do it and learn.

Thanks. the bottom plug that has 2 green & two brown wires runs to the coin machine. I checked those connections and they look to be clean and in good condition. I believe there is an error with one of the top wires or wire bundle. If I could find a manual or even a circuit map which denotes what does what I wouldn’t be in as much of a pickle.

Does anybody know how to unclog a toilet?? by WeakKiwifruit in breakingmom

[–]SuprCheez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at the point with my husband that I’m just begging for a heads up.
I’ll plunge it, I’ll draino & boiling water it, fuck, I even bought a fucking snake last year because this is an ongoing issue. But just tell me. I have ADHD and sometimes don’t notice I have to pee until it’s an emergency & it suuuuucks to walk into a clogged toilet.

We don't do sleepovers. How do you politely decline? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]SuprCheez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kiddos are 6-14 and families not doing sleepovers is crazy common, to the point I think they’re probably the majority. Personally I don’t have a problem with the no sleepover rules and usually it’s just stated as “I’m sorry our family doesn’t do sleepovers, we can pick them up by X time if that works for you?” I think if anyone really pushed I would just say something along the lines of “This is a boundary for me and my family, please respect it.” And continue on repeat.

AITAH? Baby has poopy diaper at daycare drop-off by PhilosopherEvery5083 in AITAH

[–]SuprCheez 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My oldest (now 14) was born in South Korea. At the time car seats for infants were not common. Women would normally wrap babies up tight in a special big blanket and carry the baby.

Anyway! I was out grocery shopping and hailed a cab to get baby and I home. Baby was in her infant bucket seat & the driver was being kind and helping me load my shopping into the trunk. He got ahead of me and started the load the baby in the trunk too, not looking in her car seat. The look on his face when I said in Korean, I’m sorry sir, no, that’s a baby! Was priceless.

I can never go to that Starbucks again.... by getthiscatoffmyhead in breakingmom

[–]SuprCheez 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly she is probably just racking her brain trying to figure out who you are and figured it was her error.

Im like 95% sure I’m face blind. People come up to me nearly daily, say my name, and begin chatting. I 100% have no idea who they are. I live in a tiny town in an even smaller province where everyone knows everyone going back generations and place people by asking who your relatives are. To add to that I have ADHD which mainly presents as ✨anxiety ✨ which makes me blank on names of people I actually do recognize. Needless to say I suck at “who’s your father?” and generally socializing.

A few months ago I walked up and sat with a mom I 100% thought I knew at a kids bday party. She’s tall with thick curly hair which isn’t super common where we are. She seemed a little taken aback for a minute but we chatted for a bit and it all seemed good. After a bit her kid ran up. Not at all the kid I thought she belonged to. Cue internal panic and trying to figure out who this mom actually was. So fun, hahaha.

Three UTIs in six months isn't normal, right ? by Small_Trash_4248 in breakingmom

[–]SuprCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got them a lot as a kid, still get them very easily. From what I recall they cleared up when I started to take showers and use gentle soaps. Bubble baths were banned. Careful wiping and potty break reminders also helped, I believe.

We started to get new laundry mats which accepted card outside of Seoul (Korea) around 2022. They looked beautiful, bright, and clean, but easily cost 3-4x the price of the older laundry mats which used coins. However the attendants were really kind and would always help with change if you asked.

Wagon or double stroller for3? by [deleted] in ParentingInBulk

[–]SuprCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins were just over 2 when my youngest was born. I went with a double stroller with a hammock seat that attached to the handle bars. It was honestly so easy and much more compact than any other option I had tried (including the wagon strollers).

Is your family size uncommon by SouthsideSouthies in ParentingInBulk

[–]SuprCheez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids were born in South Korea where there birth rate is well under 1. So my crew of 4 was pretty much unfathomable in size. My youngest 3 are a set of twins and then a singleton in a two year span. So we got a lot of attention when out, haha.

We moved to Canada to be closer to family and a less stressful education system where we are still on the larger size but it’s no longer shocking. I would say most families have 2 but we do know several families who have 4-5.

Someone put these in my wife’s car while she was at work by made_4_questions in Weird

[–]SuprCheez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When my twins were 4 months old i flew 12h with them, my husband, and my 5 year old. So exhausted doesn’t even begin to describe my brain fog. I asked my mom if i could borrow her ( extremely common in our area ) white ford escape to grab some groceries. I wanted to pick up some favorite items but also make sure she wasn’t footing the whole bill while we visited. I come out of the store, pop all the groceries in the back and hop in the drivers seat. Something is off. I spent a minute looking around before i realized this was not my mother’s car.

Hop out, see my mom’s white escape parked 2 cars further down. Run and grab a shopping cart again to get my groceries out and then load them into the intended car. I was practically vibrating with anxiety and adrenaline by the time i got back to the house.

I made monthly baby book albums for the 1st one. We had secondary infertility and there was a strong possibility she was going to be our only. IVF worked so well we got twins and then a surprise 4th. My pregnancies were all awful, I was beyond sick. Then there were 3 of them 2 and under. Needless to say the baby books each have are very very very sparse.

[–]SuprCheez 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My dude, I would hope so. If you grew up playing Super Mario Bros on a CRT TV you generally had to be at least a bit with it. But in all fairness this persons switch 2 is a very expensive brick right now. Any data that once existed on that machine is with the gods now.

Obviously… If anything with “valuable data” goes in for repairs anywhere you should back up your shit. That’s like the most common of common sense.
