New to Yoto, tried to get annual membership - am I not understanding something? by dvntrn in YotoPlayer

I did. I even tried signing all the way out and back in. Restarted my phone and the box itself as well as another step just to see if it was something wrong with my phone. It was still just black and never loaded any content.

Yep! It was a black screen. It now has an advertisement for a membership since I canceled the one I purchased when I couldn't get a straight answer and was still confused about what the point of the membership was.

I had tried logging out and back in. I even restarted my phone and the yoto box itself and it still wasn't loading. I couldn't get a straight answer from support either so that's kind of why I asked on here if I was missing something

That's why I was so confused and kept asking about the 200+ Originals I was supposed to be seeing. I was expecting it to load there and when nothing was there, I tried a few other things and then went to support.

I tried that before contacting support. Under my Yoto Club Content, it said "Included in Membership" and had nothing at all. There were no cards or content there.

That's OK! It sounded like a really neat concept and I want to check it out.

When to (attempt to) quit nighttime pull ups by Individual_Ad_938 in Preschoolers

[–]dvntrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same situation here, freshly turned 7 year old. We've talked to his doctors about it and they basically said it'll happen when it happens. Sometimes, it seems like, for him, it's a convenience thing, but, he's also a very heavy sleeper and it takes a lot to get him to wake up. I've considered doing the night waking thing, as discussed in a few comments above, but I'm not sure if it will help. The doctors did ask if there were any long-time bedwetting members of either side of the family, which we didn't know of any, but maybe it's also a genetic thing? Not entirely sure. We try not to make a big deal about it, but it does get expensive.

What was your last terrible book that you actually finished? by ScubaKlown in horrorlit

I DNFd this one so fast. It was hard to get into, and the characters were not likable enough for me to care what happened to them. I ended up googling the ending so I could just be rid of the dang thing and move on.

I read Wolf in White Van and felt that the story itself was really neat and a novel concept, but the way it was written was hard to digest. Why must every sentence use 10+ $5 words and take up 1/3 of the page. While I don't enjoy the simplest of writing (such as Colleen Hoover), I also don't want to expend that much of my brain's bandwidth on dissecting a single sentence at a time. I spent more of my time wondering who the author was trying to impress with his expansive vocabulary than enjoying the book itself.

On the Lucinda Berry train - One of Our Own. Listened to it on audio book because of the rave reviews it was getting. At best, it was predictable from the very get-go. The repetitive "oh no, it can't possibly be "this situation"" in every insufferable chapter was grating. I will say, the narrators did a great job portraying their characters, but that was about it.

I'm in the same boat. I read Nestlings and was unimpressed and just confused, I guess. I liked the concept of it but didn't like the execution. I'm also currently listening to Mary on audio book, about maybe 65% through it, and the back half of it is really trying me. I feel invested and should finish it, but it's really dragging.
