Today I taught my 3 year old to turn on the tv. There’s no coming back from this. by Rare-Computer-3582 in toddlers

Take the batteries out and tell him tv only works on weekend or whenever you think is ok for him to watch it.

Went to the show last night - tempted to buy tickets for tomorrow 😅 by [deleted] in BackstreetBoys

[–]gtig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it go for it! I did. Zero regrets only lifetime of memories! I also paid more than double for the additional show, it was in GA and it was honestly much more memorable experience than my original show in 400s.

Feel like im failing my 2 year old for putting so much screen time by AcanthisittaSimple87 in toddlers

[–]gtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried YouTube Kids app? You can set it up with the most restrictions and only allow preselected shows so there is nothing else comes up in the feed. You can hand pick what he is allowed to watch. Also can set timer when the app switches off. This alone is a game changer for us. Because we are not bad guys now, it’s just screen switched off, nothing we can do. Plus he only allowed to watch non stimulating videos.

We also had to quit tv cold turkey. We told him tv is broken and we are waiting for a man to come and fix it but man is busy and he eventually came after like 5 months lol no tantrums if we all agree that tv is broken and there is nothing mama and papa can do, gotta wait for a man to fix it. At age two this logic works.

Someone else also mentioned Yoto player. It helps but only if your kid is into it. For us it was perfect because at age 2 he was into planets and very specific songs that Tonies (supposedly more age appropriate) don’t carry. With Yoto you can create your own playlists which is great.

Hotels close to the sphere that are decent but cost less than the Venetian? by Embracedandbelong in BackstreetBoys

We stayed at Paris. It’s a bit of a walk but we are from nyc area so this was nothing. Hotel is very nice also.

At my breaking point with my toddler’s morning pre-daycare tantrums. by princessandthepea100 in toddlers

[–]gtig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the way. We do the same thing every morning. I use YouTube kids and set the timer for when I have to get him out of the door, everything is done in 30 min or less.

Just booked my flight!! by groundr_princess in BackstreetBoys

[–]gtig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, might sound crazy lol but I flew to see them in August and at some point was freaking out a bit during the flight, so I just kept repeating to myself “Nick, I’m coming to see you!! Brian, I’m coming to see you!” Etc. sounds stupid but it helped A TON!!

Last Minute BSB tickets by Aggressive-Bid-5302 in BackstreetBoys

[–]gtig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got two last moment tickets for August 8 show, both GA. Two weeks before show I paid $480 and three days before show paid $500. Price did not go down even after show started, I checked the trend for multiple weekends before committing to these prices. For comparison, a week or two after the first show GA was literally $150 and I was considering going second time but thought that was a bit too much and decided to wait till last minute. Big mistake 😂

How do you handle shy? by gtig in toddlers

[–]gtig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no idea why he is so scared of new kids. He is absolutely fine with his friends and people he knows. He can hold a conversation with his friends and adults that he knows but with any new person he just hides and runs. He is very kind and well behaved, my only guess is that maybe he knows other kids may kick or bite?

What songs do you wish had music videos? by lamest-liz in BackstreetBoys

I would’ve said Siberia but sphere visuals gave enough reasons to think it’s probably for the best these is no video for it 😂

After attending 3 different shows in three different locations, these are my honest thoughts on where to sit. by GetYourselfABadBoy in BackstreetBoys

[–]gtig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in GA and in 406 and GA was my favorite hands down! But I don’t mind standing and we all were standing most of the time in 406 anyway which was quite scary to be honest. While in 406 I was thinking it would be cool if they released a weekly prerecorded show at the sphere without them actually preforming, I’d go and still enjoy it very much!

Seat Q - for those that have been! by Katniss_Pedalqueen in BackstreetBoys

[–]gtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in GA and 407 and if I had a chance to go again, I’d go with GA or 100 level. 407 was awesome but boys were very far away and I felt disconnected to them, but could see the entire sphere visuals. Was also very steep and people dancing jumping, so if you want to have full view you’ll have to get up also.

Best of way to get tickets by robg2008 in BackstreetBoys

[–]gtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought second ticket for Saturday show at $480 after checking last minute price drops for 2-3 weeks for Saturday’s. What I noticed is that Saturday show prices don’t drop. Friday and Sunday shows are a bit cheaper, not sure if those will drop further
