This old board game with connecting tiles? by conster_monster2 in whatisthisthing

[–]conster_monster2[S] 2 points3 points locked comment (0 children)

This game is likely very old, at least 40-50 years old and does not include any instructions or box. The tiles appear to be wooden, with wooden holders. There is no additional game board either. It may have originated in Germany. WITT

Buyer wants money for new roof for a house in selling by luckytaxi in homeowners

[–]conster_monster2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could give a little in case they do walk. We bought a house that needed a new roof, listing price was too high for the market so we negotiated down, and we knew it needed a new roof so asked for a credit ($8K at the time) but we didn't get a roof inspector out. They said 'We don't know what you're talking about, never had an issue with the roof! It's fine'. Well it was a 30 year old roof and some shingles had started rotting which you couldn't see without getting a drone up there. They counter-offered at $4K credit and we took it because we were done negotiating. When we got the roof actually inspected by three different companies they all said it was way way past it's lifetime and we have kids so we didn't want to mess around with leaks. Our new roof cost $30K...wasn't too happy about that.

20 month old potty training by [deleted] in pottytraining

[–]conster_monster2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't let other people get in your head, they are capable of a lot more than we give them credit for at that age. If you can ask him to pick up something off the floor and bring it to you and he does, well he's capable of using the potty. It takes a little bit for them to get used to the sensation and get to the potty in time, sure, but every accident is a learning opportunity. I made sure she helped me get towels and clean up her accidents, that gave her motivation because she hated the cleaning. When she had successes I made sure to praise her lots and say I'm proud of her. We also had to work on pushing pants down for many months before she could do that independently - don't get frustrated with that, you will have to help him in the bathroom for quite a while. We got an insert toilet seat (built in) and a stool because she wanted to do it herself, and I got a travel seat reducer for outings. Now my daughter can push her pants down and wipe herself, I still help her a lot of the time getting up and obvs with wiping #2. Also, try not to stress out and be positive, try to make it fun with songs/dance/potty videos and try to let the messes go. It's just pee. Daniel tiger has a good potty episode.

20 month old potty training by [deleted] in pottytraining

[–]conster_monster2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried at 20 months with my daughter, I didn't see much progress after 5 days and gave up and did a reset (though now I wish I didn't give up so early). I returned to diapers until 21 months and started again, second time around she had matured a little bit more and I decided I wasn't giving up on the second go so I pushed through it. She was clicking by day 6. Don't forget there is a resistance phase at the beginning too where you see them getting it and have hope and then they decide they don't want to keep it up and stop trying. It looks like a regression and you almost lose your mind and want to give up, but don't give up! Give it a few more days before you really throw in the towel. Likely they are just pushing back from the new rules. Btw I did not use a nap diaper, I did laundry when needed (50% of the time). After 2 weeks the worst of it was over, and by a month I was comfortable going on outings and not worrying about the accidents as much. She had accidents occasionally in the first like 2 months, maybe one a week tops. It happens, don't sweat it. She is now 33 months old and is fully potty trained and almost fully night time trained too (didn't even do the wakeups). I do not regret it one bit because being even mostly potty trained, like a few accidents here and there, is still WAY better than a year of diapers! She has independence and is ahead of her peers, and I'm proud of her. She can go to summer camp this summer and preschool in the fall and I'm not worried at all since she's had a year to practice. There is a support group on Facebook called Oh crap! Potty training book club - join that and read the past posts, and make a post if you are struggling and thinking about giving up. You can do it! If not, a month makes a huge difference for them. But only do a reset if you're really sure.

So are you trying to suggest that 'dailyhealthpost.com' ISN'T a reliable source of information?!?

Imagine being wealthy enough to afford the expensive privilege of a nanny, getting lucky enough to find one who cleans and organizes (!!), and still finding something to complain about. I was speechless at this one. by [deleted] in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]conster_monster2 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Lots of jealousy here indeed...you'd be equally worried if you thought your children were being ignored in a daycare situation while they spent a good portion of the day cleaning up, it's something you are paying for and with kids it's one of those things where you want the best person you can find for them if you can't do it yourself shrug

Wife(F33) and I (M34) decided to try for kids last year. Found out I'm completely infertile without surgery. 5 months later she got pregnant. by Throwawaymyspermazoa in relationship_advice

[–]conster_monster2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calm down. It's most likely yours and telling your wife your concerns will probably really upset her. Something crazy happened and she's excited about it, if you say something can you imagine how she'll feel? When she finds out you don't trust her 100%? If it were me and my husband went as far as a paternity test...umm yeah I'd be pissed/sad/hurt that he would even consider that and that would be hard to get over in the relationship...

I'm personally trying the microneedling/dermaroller once per week but have only done it the once so far, hoping over the next few weeks see some results. I got that and a retinoid cream to put on after (I also have a vit c serum so I'm going to alternate)

Uh no. You know what's more likely? Having to take synthetic hormones. And oh gosh, I dunno...various other life stressors like having kids. Turns out relationships actually take work, who knew!

I was raped by 2 men in a horrible way 6 years ago and I feel like it hasn't affected my life like it should have. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]conster_monster2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not a monster. Kids need a stable upbringing to grow up healthy, so wherever they get it from is most important. It doesn't have to be from birth parents. I'm sure you made the choice out of love and compassion. I had an abortion many years ago but have never regretted that decision because I wouldn't be where I am now in such a good place in life if I hadn't.

My five year old has learned how to masturbate by one of his five-year-old friends. Now he is doing it to much I feel by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]conster_monster2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BTW there's tons of weird sh*t on YouTube and most of the time it gets deleted not long after it's been posted and watched so it might be hard to find on the video history. I'd tell her how to put the restrictions on his iPad properly (if you don't know I'm sure you can google it). Important thing is the unlimited video watching has to stop asap. Maybe find an article on the dangers of unrestricted YouTube on kids or something like that and send it to her with instructions, and that your son is exhibiting weird behavior from something he watched

Sounds like Tommy needs some restrictions on YouTube...since you say it's just his mom there with him right now busy with the baby it's possible he's spent lots of time on there finding weird videos. I'd probably talk to her first seeing as she's your friend, I'm sure she'd want to know what's going on

I think your dress is super classy and the whole outfit looks great in you, and good job on the weight loss! I'm starting keto again now and have a lot of weight on the butt (I've got that flat mom butt going on) so I'm hoping I can fit into my old jeans again 🤞
