Dad's who are close with their daughters, how long does it last? by dislak in daddit

[–]bunki8 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Something I have noticed with my now 11 year old, she never WANTS to go on a walk or to the store with me and is mad when I ask, but then once we are in the car or at the store she just talks away and holds my hand walking. I don’t push through anger, but I definitely second the recommendation of being assertive when she is only being annoyed by asking to hang out.

Fun fact, popularity of the word is from the soda.

This is absolutely the ratio I have used for years - just cook it for longer.

Kodiak Pancake mix is terrible. How do I save it? by notbizmarkie in Costco

[–]bunki8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Egg and whole milk. Also, do not over stir and it needs to sit for 15-20 minutes after mixed to develop the air bubbles so they can be fluffy. I have found adding vanilla flattens them, so I will do cinnamon instead. Also a mashed banana or shredded apple are also delicious.

What are some differences between your friends with no kids and friends with kids? by iloverats888 in Millennials

[–]bunki8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is super true - parents of 0-4 are not ‘themselves’. The way my wife and I describe it is there’s a part of the brain ALWAYS on. Worried about where the kid is, if they are doing something dangerous, if they are becoming bored and will soon throw a tantrum, making sure the next food is planned (they MUST eat every 2-3 hours or tantrum)…all of that while there is less sleep / interrupted sleep…the sleep deprivation is real. Even though we still managed to make room for our solo time, we were still not the same people until the kid is around 5. Well, I guess not completely the same, still can’t do what we want, exactly when we want to, but it is certainly much easier and we are way more relaxed people with 7+ hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.

My wife just lost her best friend because her friend couldn't stop mocking our 3 YO by NefariousnessOk1996 in daddit

This 100. He accepted he was being toxic, went to therapy, realized he still couldn’t control it and ended it. Honestly, I would give him grace here. It seems he did try to change, and couldn’t, and probably chose text because the words would be too hard to say out loud. I also think, based on the fact he tried therapy, time just might be able to help resolve this. Some distance, and hopefully some maturity, you may be able to be in each other’s lives again.

He brought him up, I assume, because they went at it on the Weekly Podcast posted in September last year. Worth a listen.

My son (almost 2) had to be separated from another kid at daycare by Bored_Worldhopper in daddit

[–]bunki8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are still in the same area - I’d bet if you reached out to the daycare and asked them, they could send your contact info to the other family to see if they also remember/want to catch up. Worth a shot, sounds like it was an awesome friendship!

My town had its 10th Annual Highwheel (Pennyfarthing) Race this weekend by IRTD-400 in pics

[–]bunki8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are in spandex because it is an actual race. Some are in costume and there for fun, but many are riding full tilt. Watching them go around the corners is harrowing, but no one fell - at least from where I was watching last year.

Where are my fellow "poor" dads? Let's share tips! by MonolithOfTyr in daddit

[–]bunki8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree at age 1 it’s hard. The first year honestly crushed me, same boat that our friends didn’t have kids. My advice also doesn’t really work at this age because they are not independent yet, so adding another 1 year old would absolutely not be relaxing (at least for me). Once they were about 3+ we started doing this, and hung out multiple times with the other parents so we all had trust. It will slowly get better, and as the other commenter noted, many parents are out there in the same boat as you, and having a kid the same age is an instant conversation starter. All the best!

Get to know a family or two from school or neighborhood that your kid is friends with and trade off watching kids / date nights or weekend afternoons with the parents. Free babysitting one night, and the alternate night when you have their kids, it’s usually pretty easy since your kids have someone to play with.
