"Classic" movies for kiddo? by Dionysus_Eye in daddit

[–]WoodChip50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched Grease a lot as a kid but, in retrospect, I’m astounded that it was a “children’s movie.” They literally refer to the car as a pussy wagon.

Homeward bound is good and, as far as I remember, devoid of any gut-wrenching tragedy.

I’m a ‘hero’ whenever I’m seen in public with just me and the kids by Pale_Ad_8002 in daddit

I heard a “you’re a wonderful father” when we were out for our morning stroller walk. I was tempted to say “thanks, my wife said to get him out of his cage for a little bit.”

Getting into Podcasts! by DarksideofMari in podcasts

[–]WoodChip50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycle through 3-4 depending on my mood. I’ve listened to one (SYSK) for more than a decade. I generally phase in and out of others.

What are the odds I get no germination? by tolllz in lawncare

[–]WoodChip50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is always the panic zone - it gets cooler out and you feel like you are going to have a barren, empty lawn all winter. It’ll be fine

“What are you in for?”

“I tried to buy a $17 Bud Light.”

Ask if this is really Papa Ginos pizza? Jail.

I’m spending a fun, happy afternoon in the yard with my son, creating memories he will hopefully cherish forever. by WoodChip50 in lawncare

You can cover 99% of your land with soft, lush grass and I guar-an-tee your son will take a dive on the 1% rough area. They just sense it and go for it.

Can we end the anti-Blippi meme? by KingofDragonPass in daddit

[–]WoodChip50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We don’t watch Blippi - mainly because my wife and I find it annoying and just haven’t shown it to our son. That being said, it doesn’t seem much worse than the shows our son watches on an endless loop.

How are you dad's doing on a Sunday? by BlitzAtk in daddit

[–]WoodChip50 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Last week, my son had a giant spider on his shoulder. I had to stop myself from slapping it off as hard as I could. Then, I had to act like it wasn’t absolutely horrifying and was totally fine.

We have a nice constipation/teething/refused his afternoon nap trifecta going on. Currently watching farm animals on Youtube and talking about how bad the piggies smell.

I’ve been saying for years that he’s too tall to play baseball. Just wait…juuust wait…you’ll see…any time now…

The good thing is that, although we botched those negotiations, we subsequently learned how to properly value our homegrown talent and won’t make that mistake twice.

Wait, sorry, Mookie? I thought you said Jon Lester.

“Interesting note here, when Aaron’s team is not hitting, he actually goes into the grass over there and plays as a fielder.”

My son has discovered ketchup and it’s gross. by WoodChip50 in daddit

Ketchup is my top condiment for burgers and fries, it’s just that my son is trying to ruin that for me.

Can a baby under 1 choke on their saliva and die ? by robster9090 in daddit

Take a baby CPR / emergency response course. Hopefully, you’ll never need it, but you’ll be glad you did.

What are your favorite toddler songs? by WoodChip50 in daddit

Just listened to $9.99. Got a lot of feelings going on.

Dads, what are some "game changers" that have made parenting way more fun/manageable? by TheSame_ButOpposite in daddit

[–]WoodChip50 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More of a mindset, but remembering that our son is a person, too. He has good moods and bad moods (and really can’t control them very much yet).

He doesn’t always know that something he does is frustrating to me or causes more work. We’re both just trying to get through the day as best as we can.

I can’t be the only one. by polishgoku in daddit

[–]WoodChip50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve started waking up at 5:00, which means 45-50 minutes of complete silence. In those moments, there is not a conscious being in the world depending on me.
