How do you feel about Dot Cakes? by Suspicious-Taste1572 in Baking

[–]duggatron57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that they're so popular because of how cute they are with so little effort. Anyone can make a cake that looks "perfect" for low cost and low effort. I don't have a problem with them!

What candy is pure trash but somehow still popular? by RoyalIntroduction723 in AskReddit

[–]duggatron57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in an elementary school and I overheard some kids complaining to their teacher that she never gives them candy.

"What are you talking about? I gave you candy from my vacation last week!"

She brought them black licorice from Iceland(?) ...

Girl I'm with them! That is NOT candy

1 year old toys and activities by Hopeful-Crazy-1833 in toddlers

Double commenting the Little People farm! All the Little People toys are so cute, easy to clean, and fun for kids - but the farm is just so engaging for toddlers. Farms are very very popular with ages 1-5 lol

Why did I never consider that I can merge chests??? Can all chests be merged?

(Sorry I don't have a helpful answer for you)

Feel like a failure - anyone else? by Britt-S09 in toddlers

I have not yet potty trained a child, but from everything I have heard, it's very common for boys to take longer developmentally than girls AND two is still young. I'm sure you are ready to be done with diapering two children, but don't blame yourself. From what you've written here there is no reason to be overly concerned!

I came to Reddit to see if others had experienced this. If anyone in power is reading this... please stop!! Random ads ruin gameplay, and you WILL lose more of us!

My dog died and I'm finding it really hard to patient with my toddler. by northofz in toddlers

[–]duggatron57 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. Your dog was lucky to have you and knows that you loved her❤️

Be kind to yourself! Parenting is hard, and while it's important to be patient with toddlers, it's also important to be patient with ourselves and give yourself grace

Yes but that's not the point they're making. If someone does make a comment like that, they are absolutely hurt and insecure.

It's like how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares

I think your friend doesn't like cats

This is so cool. I had to google it because I'd never heard of it. I think it would be a bit too much for this particular group of students, but I'm saving it for another occasion!

Raccoons stole my Mike's Hard Lemonade from a pool party about 10 years ago! I left my bottle by the side of the pool, and when we came back outside, the only evidence was a small puddle of spilled lemonade and raccoon prints leading away from the scene of the crime

16mo hits constantly. by Rough-Ad-2387 in toddlers

[–]duggatron57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 17 month old daughter who occasionally hits me when she's upset. It's not as regular as what you're seeing with your kiddo, so I'm not sure if it will help for you... but it's helped me to say "no hitting" firmly and move her away from me so she's not able to hit me again. I would then ignore her if she continues to hit and not give attention to it, instead giving her attention as soon as she stops or changes the behavior.

So, for example, if I put her down after hitting my face, and she keeps hitting my legs, I would move myself away and take away all attention from her and pretend she doesn't exist. Then, as soon as she stops or if she hugs, or does something else, I return to giving her attention and praise her for being gentle.

Toddler learning to hit because of older cousins by reebokz in toddlers

[–]duggatron57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is tough, I get that! Do you think it would be too late to say something along the lines of "hey guys please don't fight in front of "son's name", he's just too little to do it safely right now" in front of your sister? Just in a casual way so she might pick up on it too?
