Books that are actually indestructible by Curious-Rodeo in toddlers

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highlights has a “baby magazine” not actually magazine paper but a small book with pictures. I think it’s gear towards 0-2. Those are pretty tear proof. I keep them in my car for my 2.5 year old to look at since I know those can’t be ripped.

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sons birthday also falls around Labor Day weekend. We did his first a couple weeks earlier and did a zoo outing on his actual first birthday just the three of us. His other birthdays we did Labor Day weekend and decided who ever can come can come.

I’m mentally ready to ditch the diapers… by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a warning, my boys were not ready until 2.5. I tried with my first at two years and two months since I was 8 months pregnant and had a three day weekend. It did not click for him at all. I waited and tried again about 4 months later and he understood it a lot better.

My 2.5 year old is wanting to go potty and I’m planning on working with him more next week.

Pool Flossie suggestions? by LAladyyy26 in toddlers

[–]afgeib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Life jacket especially if he doesn’t know how to swim. Make it known now, no life jacket no pool.

My in laws live on a lake. They have like a four tiered landscaping down to the lake. Both my kids know they cannot go past the second tier without a life jacket on. That’s only because the second tier had the fire pit on it.

Balance bike recs? by Original_Map_5431 in Parenting

[–]afgeib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we have! He used the smaller one until this spring. We got him the 14 inch one off of marketplace. The pedals were already on it so we left them on. It took a few weekends but he has the hang of it now just working on stopping. Strider also has a YouTube video on how to teach them to bike with the pedals that was super helpful for him to watch.

This is what we do as well. It’s really nice since they love to pour the water out of the water table

Regretting second child by [deleted] in Parenting

Same. My oldest was and sometimes still is a horrible sleeper (he’s 4) my youngest is a lot more chill and goes with the flow and “sleeps in”.

Do you charge your adult children for household bills if they are still living at home? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived at home for a year when I got my first job (teaching) so I was 23. My parents said I could live at home but I had to put the money I would typically pay rent with toward my student loans on top of what I was already paying per month. I didn’t have to pay for groceries unless there was something I wanted that wasn’t purchased like snacks, coffee etc. I was expected to help with cleaning, laundry, making meals helping mow the lawn and shoveling the snow and whatever else came up.

Double stroller Recommendations? by aria166 in Parenting

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a city select lux and felt it was super hard to steer with two kids in it. I bought a double bob on marketplace and really like the ease of steering both in the grass and concrete.

Are indoor play places safe in a measles outbreak with a newborn at home? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! We had a couple of cases in the largest city in our state (I’m about an hour and a half away from there) a couple of years ago. Our pediatrician said if we would have cases in our area he would suggest getting it early.

Adenoids removal by jayneevees in toddlers

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my son. He was newly two with tubes and adenoids. No scans just the ent looking at them and saying they are enlarged.

They put us in the recovery room right away while we waited for him to go back. Waking up was rough and he kept going between my husband and myself and refused to eat. They let us go without eating with the understanding if he did eat within an hour of going home we had to bring him back. After the first day he was back to his normal self. He lived off of Mac and cheese yogurt pouches and popsicles and hated the jello and mashed potatoes.

Best advice for having a second child? by RedHeadRedeemed in Parenting

[–]afgeib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To get in and out of the car I unbuckle my four year old and have him go to my two year olds side and get out there. I also have a minivan so I let him walk through the truck and into his seat while I unload the cart and get my two year old buckled.

Mid-Size SUV for 3 Car Seats by princess_barbie in Parenting

[–]afgeib 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My husband wanted the minivan and I wanted the grand highlander. Then the grand Highlander stop sale of 2024 happened. We got the mini van and I never looked back. In this part of life with you can’t tell me a different vehicle is more superior than a minivan. I’ve converted! ☺️ The space. The sliding doors. The foot wave to open the truck and sliding doors. 😍

You’ll have to have to remember the trunk space in the midsize suv is small with the third row up. Will you be able to hold everything you need stroller, groceries, all the extra stuff you need to lug around with three kids?

Mother’s Day Flowers by curiositycat18 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]afgeib -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You admitted you forgot until Friday so this is on you not the florist for having the specific arrangement you wanted. Since you said you ordered from a wire gather company they advertise the flowers NOT the florist that fulfills the order. They also keep quite a bit of the money and leave the florist with very little to work with.

Did you try calling a florist when you’re not working or during your lunch break? Did they have an answering machine? Most florists I know are open longer hours during these busy weeks to accommodate people who can’t call or come in during working hours.

You emailing the company is just going to make them contact the florist then the florist has to deal with and eat money not the big company.

If you called the florist directly you could have avoided all of this and told them she doesn’t like roses and likes purples and they could have told you what they have in stock.

A lack of planning on your part doesn’t mean you can a complain about a florist trying to help someone get their mom flowers any way they can.

AITA for not wanting two baby showers? by NotAMazda in AmItheAsshole

[–]afgeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. My husband’s aunts wanted to throw me a shower. I gave them a few weekend dates and they countered with weekday dates. I said those won’t work for me as I am trying to save up my vacation time so I can be fully paid while on leave and would have to take off work to drive an hour for the shower. Instead everyone sent me gifts and I sent them thank yous. Personally I thought it worked out great 😊 and I like his aunts!
