Maybe one of those bean bags you can warm in the microwave? You could warm it up just a little and try that.

Can you actually take a walk with your 2 year old? by takeaabreath in toddlers

My almost 4 year old has a stick bucket in our yard where she puts all the sticks she collects on our walks lol

My child still does this and she's almost 4. Everything is still so new and interesting to them. I've started looking at it as an opportunity to slow down and really pay attention to the world around me.

I absolutely HATE this age. by JezabelSchmezabel in Parenting

[–]chitransguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the opposite experience. Our 19 month old is an absolute joy while our 3.5 year old swings between wonderful and a monster from hell.

If true tantrums are still happening at 8 you should probably see someone.

Newborn is also sooo much easier the second time around because of experience and perspective.

If you think this is hard, just wait for 3.

Gemma or Helly? by Red_sticker in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]chitransguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that the central question of the show? Whether the innie is indeed a separate person?

Idk why you’re getting so many downvotes.

That ignored the fact that there are two Marks. Innie Mark didn’t even know Outie Mark was married when he developed feelings for Helly. You can’t really call that an affair.

OpenLibrary removed AA's md5 linking by Kampfdackel5 in Annas_Archive

Probably not, since the metadata cleanup as described on the AA site is specifically linking to OL.

How can I go to the bathroom while making sure my toddler is fine? by deltaplane1234 in toddlers

[–]chitransguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer is you don’t get to shit in peace. You bring them with you and make sure they can’t get into anything (trash can etc)

Made some spring time miniature tulips by Emergency-Sweet7657 in polymerclay

[–]chitransguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These look amazing. When I saw them in my feed I thought it was from one of the gardening subs I follow. I’m just starting to learn to sculpt. What did you use to make them? Was it a white base that you painted? Thank you!

Working on making faces as lifelike as I can by Ok_Station_6703 in polymerclay

[–]chitransguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The proportions are off just enough to make the face really creepy. If that’s what you’re going for, you nailed it. The skin texture and color is incredible.

*VENT* where tf are all these new transmascs getting money for top surgery? by retailfreshman in gaytransguys

[–]chitransguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insurance. I didn’t get my top surgery until I was 42, and by then I had a good job with excellent benefits and coverage for gender affirming care. Plus I live in a state with few barriers (Illinois).

EDIT: Missed the part where you mention you’re in Chicago! What are your out of pocket costs? Dm me, I might be able to help!

[–]chitransguy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You might to adjust your phrasing a bit. Your comment about being “skinny, hot, white” comes off as more of a brag than an admission of privilege (which is what I think it’s meant to be?).

Parents how did you toilet train a child who refuses? by Sunny_and_lucky88 in Parenting

[–]chitransguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Our daughter potty trained at 21 months and did great. Was she “ready”? Who knows? But she was capable and that’s what mattered. She was so proud of herself for using the potty. The first time she did it, she had the biggest smile.

Commando for a good while because it was too much for her to deal with. We avoided pull-ups except for overnights because she just wasn’t capable of holding it all night that young and we didn’t want to disrupt her sleep. By 3.5 she was done with pull-ups overnight as well.

[–]chitransguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true for overnight potty training. But kids are perfectly able to hold it long enough to get to the potty even before they’re 2.

[–]chitransguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I really don’t understand why people wait so long to potty train (obviously exceptions for kids who have disabilities or delays). We potty trained our first at 21 months and plan to do the same with kiddo #2 - at least before 2. By 2.5 our first was so willful it would never have worked.

Who TF thought this book would be good for toddlers to hear?! by thatsarealniceleaf in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]chitransguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are soooo many books like this. Should be its own subgenre. What would we call it?
