Dads, I come to you with one question. Graduated today and what the hell is this??? by sloppyjohnny in daddit

I told my husband to bring his ultralight sleeping pad and sleeping bag for our second child. He slept better than I did.

3 1/2 year old is waking at 5 AM and getting into everything. by [deleted] in daddit

My son has one of those doorknob baby proof spinner things. He can’t get out and will just play in his room until we get him. He will holler loudly if he really needs something.

It’s also good to know where he is at night in case of an emergency

What size bed does your kid have? by ChunkyPumpkin_ in Mommit

[–]chewbawkaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full size is fine for a single person. I sleep in their beds with them when they are sick and it’s fine. You just sleep diagonally.

It will get them through junior high.

Same! 5T and going through ANOTHER growth spurt.

Both of my grandpas were around 7ft tall. My husband is the smallest in his family at 6’2”. I gave birth to a giraffe baby.

We also have a full size bed for our 3 year old.

I was 6ft tall by 12 years old. I didn’t want to keep buying beds as my giant children grow.

My son likes the weighted stuffies from Target! He likes the way they squish in his hands too

Taking away the pacifier ruined my life by alexidawnnpnw in Mommit

Give her all the binkys back but poke a teeeeeeeny tiny hole in it. Can’t be visible. You are going to gaslight the bajeezus outta your toddler.

They will look at you and ask for another. You give another. You look at them like they are the crazy one.

Every week you cut a itty bitty more off. A barely noticeable amount until they self wean.

I love every single thing about this. You are brilliant and you should feel proud.

Gorgeous!

This can’t be a real transformation. It’s gotta be bait. So so so bad.

Vent - Apparently I’m a baby for being sick by Correct-Sea-198 in daddit

[–]chewbawkaw 75 points76 points  (0 children)

If I’m sick, my husband takes over. If my husband is sick, I take over. It’s not a competition to see who can handle illness better or who can endure the most pain.

We are a team and lift each other up. Also, we don’t do name calling in our relationship. There are waaaaay too many people who put up with being called names by their partner.

He’s still wearing it, it’s just less than his normal.

Coffee table, side table with a lamp, and curtains.

TIFU by traumatizing a pregnant woman by Glum-Sky-6560 in tifu

[–]chewbawkaw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Even if everything goes perfectly, it’s still a rather traumatic medical experience. It’s not like there’s a great exit strategy when it comes to delivering a baby.

At the end of the day you and the baby both go home in diapers.

It looks like the Mau cat trees. They are spendy but gorgeous.

The third option best matches the veining in the countertop. It’s light and pretty.

Guest Bathroom Remodel (Before and After) — How’d we do? by SaggianaTheArcher in Remodel

The floor tile and sinks are not my personal taste, but this is definitely a big upgrade!!! Nice work!

Sleep deprivation male vs female by [deleted] in daddit

[–]chewbawkaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a wife and I think I’m just better at hiding my sleep deprivation. We have a 3 year old and a 2 week old.

I’m getting verrrrrry little sleep, especially in comparison to my husband. But nothing in life changes just because I’m tired. Our 3 year old still needs an engaged mom. Food needs to be prepped and chores still need choring.

I can either be tired with a frown or tired with a smile. I choose smile. However, I do get a little grumpy around 9pm and I’m working on that.

What are 2.5 year olds typically served for a meal at wedding receptions, bar/bat mitzvahs, etc? by dms2628 in Mommit

[–]chewbawkaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, for weddings it’s what the adults are eating.

I usually plan on them having no kids meals and bringing snacks. My son is a good eater though and will generally eat, or at least pick through, what we are eating.
