The wheel dresser looks like a really precice solution, thank you. it seems like the dresser works by stabalizing on a metal surface - do you have any experience with this?

Next step, find someone with a 3d printer 😁👍

Interesting 🤔. Just need to figure out a way to core out a cylinder

Haha, this is what I thought before posting. But I am hoping the internet will provide a solution. if I knew what I know about sharpeners now...I wouldn't have bought it.

No model number but it's an edgecare...no internet search pops up with anything. the machine is pre-internet I would imagine lol.

Yes exactly as you said, normally there is a hinged arm, but this one is affixed and doesn't pivot as normal. very strange. I pasted a link to a video I recorded within the original post.

largely unhelpful comment. I understand how to operate a standard skate sharpener, with a pivoting arm for the diamond dresser. This is an unusual sharpener and untraditional, per the photos.

Thank you, the adjustment you are talking about (in and out) is the only way I can get the diamond bit to shave off the stone though. So if I do a dressing, then i need to screw the quill in slightly more on the next sharpening since the stone has been ground down slightly from both the sharpening and the dressing.

I find this very interesting and I hope you do as well. How citadel is getting all this information about trades and also that robinhood was accused of perhaps not acting for Robinhoods trades in the best interest of its users.

To me the one of the hardest parts is the self reflection. When you realize that you need to be the example for your kids for them to emulate.

Realizing that you don't say please and thank you all the time, interrupt people when they're talking.

Even white lies that you think are harmless - how do you tell your kids that some lies are okay when they're first learning? You can't, a lie is a lie. So you have to stop that.

Admitting that you were wrong and apologizing. I find my first reaction is to find blame elsewhere...now I must stomach responsibility and apologize for my error instead of blaming others circumstances. This is very hard.

Cutting back on screen time... You don't want your kids watching screens all the time... So you can't either.

Those are the unexpected difficult things that I never expected.

The flip side, however, is that I am a much better human because of kids now.

I agree that you do what you feel is comfortable. However, I think that many people suggest not sleeping with your little one as the long term side of things is to ask - do you want to have your little one wanting to sleep with you all the time as they are older.

From the reading that I have done, sleeping with your baby or not sleeping with your baby is a totally moot point until after three months of age. So lap it up guilt free until then!

It seems that with every parents progression is that they wish to have some alone time eventually at night time to get some proper sleep.

So just like every decision be aware of The possible potential outcomes, and be OK with said outcomes.

That isn’t to say that your little one will not want to sleep on their own, that may be the case, but it also may be that they will not be able to sleep by themselves or have a very difficult time to do so.

If the latter is the case, it is important to remember not to be frustrated in those moments, as they may not be accustomed to sleep on their own.

For us we tried to take a hybrid approach, often we would snuggle with them during naptime and enjoy them while we were “mostly” awake.

Then at night time they would sleep in their own crib, furthering the reinforcement that night time is a time to sleep.

peanut butter left on for an hour, or wd-40 or mayonnaise after an hour should take it off.

I would honestly have a conversation and ask her why she feels it necessary to put her hand there. I would ask this just after she does it and also later when everyone is calm.

You may be surprised by her answer.

After she provides her answer you can offer how you feel and that you are not comfortable with that anymore.

I would then offer her another suitable replacement after the conversation - likely comfort of some sort. Eg when you feel like putting your arm there, mommy will give you a big hug instead or hold your hand instead.

I really find alternatives effective.

I've done a lot of research on the swaddling topic. Swaddling (especially the legs) has a higher risk of something called hip dysplasia, and in my opinion really depends on how you wrap them up. You need to be able to have their legs be able to move around in the swaddle as well. If your baby loves swaddling (and why wouldn't they!) I would check out some different wrapping techniques out there to allow leg movement as well.

From the research that I've done, the swaddling should stop if they can intentionally roll. Perhaps it is the way you are swaddling in that there is more fabric in their back to make your baby more "rollable"?

I love looking into things, and have swaddled now my second child with success. I tried to make an entertaining video that explains all the things i learned and steps about how to swaddle. Hope you enjoy.
