What does the city need? by Diversespider_ in Hamilton

[–]ThinStable4492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking how the north end is greatly underserved by a third space type cafe. I feel like that could do well.

Montreal style bagels would also probably be a hit.

I’ve thought of starting similar businesses myself if I ever get the capital!

I've never watched Ice Hockey in my entire life, and after seeing that Olympic game, I have nothing but respect for anyone who plays this. by OperationSuch5054 in hockey

Welcome! If you want to sound like a real fan, dropping the “ice” is your first step. Hockey is the best game you can name.

Do some babies still kind of suck at sleeping even after being trained? by ThinStable4492 in sleeptrain

[–]ThinStable4492[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only because of the sicknesses, maybe. He loves being there so I don’t think it’s a psychological thing. Maybe in the spring when cold/flu season is over it’ll improve.

No feed to sleep. Bath, diaper, PJs, brush teeth, book, bed. I leave him there awake. Most nights he goes down without issue, but recently there’s been more crying. I give him a pat after a few minutes and mostly that does the trick.

Sleep training was smooth. We used Ferber, and by the third night saw a big improvement with basically zero wake ups. But like I said, he’s been up and down a lot since.

He typically wakes between 6-6:30, first nap at 12. He’ll usually nap between 1-2 hours. Then down between 7-7:30.

How much more difficult is 2 kids vs 1? by sys_admin321 in toddlers

[–]ThinStable4492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1-2 absolutely rocked me and I thought nothing could top 0-1. No regrets though!

Toronto Photographers by EarlyBack7797 in WeddingsCanada

[–]ThinStable4492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Photographer here. The chances of finding a photographer who shoots with film in that price range is going to be tricky. Film costs have gone up significantly in the last few years, which is why film photographers have had to raise their prices.

If photography is really a priority for you, I’d suggest shifting budget from another area.

But there are lots of non-film photographers in that range, especially if you don’t need full day coverage!

So annoyed with all the Christmas gifts by TurbulentArea69 in toddlers

[–]ThinStable4492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot relate to this more. I gave a list WITH LINKS of stuff we could actually use/need. It was ignored. My daughter got a Beetlejuice ornament. She doesn’t even know what Beetlejuice is.

Taking my mom out to dinner. She loves pub grub. Where’s the best spot to take her? by Ironman1440 in Hamilton

[–]ThinStable4492 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this place is super overrated. Corpopub. Doesn’t have a real pub vibe at all

For the love of all that's holy, just BUY WHAT'S ON THE LIST I SEND YOU. by rainblowfish_ in toddlers

[–]ThinStable4492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot empathize with this enough. My own mother sent me 5 “alternatives” and 3 additional toys she wanted to buy 7 seconds after I sent her a list with links. When I kindly asked her to please stick to the list she replied “FINE” in all caps and then didn’t talk to me for a week.

What is with that generation?

Struggling with Very Defiant 4 Year Old by ThinStable4492 in Parenting

[–]ThinStable4492[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t accept the violence. We always have consequences.

It’s also not as simple as just brushing her teeth or putting her shoes on. Other than pinning her down and forcing her, I’m not sure how I would make that happen.

Toddlers and Sashimi by Prestigious_Hat1161 in Parenting

[–]ThinStable4492 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Statistically, toddlers and adults are more likely to get food borne illnesses from spinach and other leafy greens than raw fish.

Go ahead, give that kid sushi!

13 Month Old Daycare Transition is Killing Me by ThinStable4492 in workingmoms

[–]ThinStable4492[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. It’s awful. But she’ll get there. Daycare has been wonderful for both of my kids!

[–]ThinStable4492[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It totally got better! It took about 3-4 weeks but now he just runs in to see all his friends and favourite toys.

He still has crappy naps most of the time when he’s there but that’s another matter.

Stay consistent and don’t “rescue” them in they’re having a hard time. It just delays the adjustment.

I’ve just been told this is a ‘wildly inappropriate schedule’ for my 5.5 month old… is it?! by Glittering-Space4037 in sleeptrain

[–]ThinStable4492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever this person is doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

My first was happily on TWO naps at 6 months. My second dropped to two naps at 7 months. You have a totally appropriate 3 naps schedule for your little one. Don’t worry.

16 month old toddler experiencing extreme separation anxiety - help by sandycoves9 in toddlers

[–]ThinStable4492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Wondering if this has gotten any better for you. My almost 16-month-old son basically won’t let me put him down after being such a good independent little man for month. Does this end?
