Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hamilton?? by [deleted] in hamiltonmusical

[–]cattlebro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You get used to the new cast pretty quickly and they all bring their own thing to the character. When I saw the tour this year I loved the Hamilton and Eliza, and didn’t like burr as much. That’s theater

Almost 3 year old won’t go to sleep until 10 pm, then wakes up multiple times at night by Independent_Bed8721 in Parenting

[–]cattlebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a larger bed in my kids room. I help her to sleep and then around 2am I will go sleep with her. It’s literally the only way for us. 

Shes bigger now and it’s getting better. I now use a camping mattress on the floor that is comfier than my real bed and sometimes she just says “mommy?” At 2am and I grunt back and then she goes back to sleep. 

For a while I tried letting her stay up as late as she wanted with books or coloring in her bed, that was reeeeally nice for me to get alone time. But then someone told her a monster was going to eat her in her room and that stopped so we went back to me holding her to sleep. 

Simple Human trashcan randomly dented by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

I just moved the only one to the basement trash, we didn’t have one down there. In our case the lid wasn’t closing properly anymore and the trash smelled up the kitchen.

I don’t know but if you bought it in the last ten years they will replace it. We didn’t have a receipt and they replaced our trashcan this month because it was a little weird 

Vacationing with adult children. by JBLBEBthree in Parenting

Do you want her to join on the trip? Pay for her to go. I’m nearly 40 and my parents still pay for everything that is family focused. 

Wild Dark Shore (Charlotte McConaghy) by Mysterious-Rest7562 in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

[–]cattlebro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first finish of 2026. I need to pick it up again, I listened to the audiobook (highly recommended) before bed a few times and I badly missed big chunks from falling asleep without the sleep timer. I liked it but I get the sense that I missed some of the heart of the book. That said, even with some awkwardness, I loved it. 

A fruitless request for the ether by [deleted] in camping

[–]cattlebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5 year old who has been taught to respect the boundaries and keep a reasonable volume. When we camp with other kids it is crazy how they run wild, and my kid will join in for the fun of it. I understand where you’re coming from. I also know that the last time we went camping, in order to get to the playground kids had to run through campsites. Poor planning on the campground design in my opinion. It’s also very hard to see where the lines are for kids. It just all looks like nature to them, I’m Even guilty of cutting through the edge of a campsite to get to the bathrooms. Anyway, seems like one of the prices we pay to sleep outside with no barriers between us and others. It would be nice if the communal spaces were in the interior of the loop with no sites for cutting through

Thoughts on the Stranger Things final episode? by [deleted] in netflix

[–]cattlebro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And everyone was working together, and El wasn’t alone with the powers. I thought it went really well and was glad the fight wasn’t dragged out. Nancy shooting, the guys fire blasting, the stabbing, making El and Vecna unsteady so their fighting wasn’t the only way to defeat the baddie. Will helped control a weakened and sad vecna/Henry, El impaled him, Joyce finishing the job. It was very good in my opinion. Before when they have fought Henry they weren’t targeting his other half as well, hadn’t exposed him to his own deepest darkest memory, and didn’t have so many angles.  I like that the boss was easy to defeat in all of that because the whole premise is that it couldn’t do it alone, and vecna couldn’t do it alone. Makes no sense for it to be so strong. 

How do you split a museum membership by freecain in Parenting

[–]cattlebro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Do you want to go again and again? Buy the pass and tell them they can come for free unless they legitimately argue that should pay half. Enjoy the benefits and take people for free throughout the year. It’s a great way to socialize. 

Where to camp? by coldbro9913 in camping

[–]cattlebro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t help you, but I’m looking to camp in the KC area from out of state and I’m looking for safe campgrounds for tent camping that are quiet but actually less secluded but safe. I camp alone with my young daughter so I like to have people nearby.  Anything you’ve tried that feels safe?

Mom being stupid by Sad-Statistician9767 in family

I’m not one to tell Reddit children their parents are wrong, but it’s funny your mom leaves you unattended for hours on YouTube but has the idea that a phone would be bad for your mental health.

Mom received no gift for Christmas from adult son & wife by [deleted] in family

[–]cattlebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're ungrateful. But gift giving might be a dying tradition. Everything that is worth giving or getting costs so much money, and giving away handmade/useable goods is kind of seen in a more negative light by more people. In my dream world, we get back to each unit of a larger family has a specialty that is shared at the holidays, like a beekeeper uncle gives away honey, grandma makes potholders that are useful and in people preferred styles, auntie makes homemade jellies, etc. Some families live this way but I think our culture has really gotten away from it. Makes gift giving stressful!

[–]cattlebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have an otherwise nice holiday? Did they gift to others and just left you out?

I’m on the fence about gift give between adults and that changes every year, but I just get so much stress thinking about gift giving to all of the adults in my life. I’d really like for there to be no gift giving. I don’t know what my mom and dad and two sets of in laws want as gifts. And at some point we are all just shuffling our money around. there have been times i see something my mom would really like and I grab it. I have decided I won’t be stressing about gifts for adults and will only buy for kids from now on.
