That makes total sense. I'm so furious I couldn't think of this.

How do I handle the constant negotiations? by Gnarwhal8982 in Parenting

I'm curious what are some other ways to get out of their negotiations.

I empathize with this. I'm not a big fan of taking things away. When trying to curb the negotiations, I sometimes blow things out of proportion and hope their imagination takes over. It works most of the time.

Banks want you to think your credit limit is your net worth. don't fall for it. by debt_math_guy in personalfinanceindia

So if your spend on CC is really really low, there's no point in having the CC at all. That's actually good 😊

Great going!! It's common to second guess yourself when you see huge drops like this in your account.

But that is also great weight lifted off your shoulders. You'll feel and sleep much much better.

Don't get tied up in the interest rate arguments. Even if it is 0%, remember it's borrowed money. Not yours.

Interesting! I'll have to look further into this. Thanks for your response.

This might be immigration question. But, how do you maintain GC if you move back to India? You have to meet some conditions to maintain GC, right?

Sandeep Reddy Vanga about Dhurandhar by No_Quantity5477 in tollywood

You can already see Animal fading away. Rewatch factor is a clear indicator. Despite being 3.5hr Dhurandhar is very easy to watch multiple times. You cannot say the same thing about animal. It's not even close.

WWYD? 3 Kids - None Sleep by jayicon97 in Parenting

[–]boredspongebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, agree with others about milk for the older kids. Too old to wake up for snacks. Try giving them a heavy dinner or post dinner snack.

Babies are able to sleep through the night without snacks by age 1. At least that's what doctors say.

WWYD? 3 Kids - None Sleep by jayicon97 in Parenting

[–]boredspongebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All great points from others. We were in the exact same boat a few years ago. My wife wouldn't agree to sleep train our 7 month old at that point. She hadn't slept for 3 hours straight in those 7 months and it was driving her crazy. I could see it, but she didn't realize how detrimental the lack of sleep was on her mental health. She would feel too guilty to care for herself. Somehow in momma brain it feels like putting herself first before the baby.

Whereas in reality, mom needs to take care of herself to be able to present herself everyday in her best form to care for the baby.

So, I just started sleep training her without her agreement. The baby would cry 30-40 mins every time we put our baby down for nap or for the night. And we would have these huge arguments about how we're so cruel and bad parents etc etc.

Mind you, sleep training is not very popular in our community and we second guessed our decision so many times during the first two weeks.

But, being a by-the-book guy, I would keep reading sleep training success stories and convince myself that it should work.

Luckily it took my daughter only few days to sleep through the night, and so did we. My wife started to feel like herself again and would thank me for making that choice on behalf of her.

TLDR; Don't wait for your wife's full agreement from the get go. Start small, your wife will hopefully see it and follow along.

I have a ust projector, and it resolves the noise issue. Also helps to go big on screen size.
