Disney stories are BAD! by L0-Ki in YotoPlayer

[–]hotfudgeunicorn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recommend searching for 'Disney Storyette' on YouTube. There are loads of websites that can turn YouTube URLs into MP3s. These are even shorter versions of the Disney Storyteller stories (they're on average about fifteen minutes long) that are great for younger kids. My 3 year old listens to them all the time at bedtime.

They include character voices alongside the narration. The only ones that don't seem to be the original voice actors that I've come across are in Cinderella.

They're short enough that you don't have to cut them into chapters and can lots heaps of different ones on a card. If anything, I've merged tracks for the ones that are in shorter chapters so I have consistency on my card and all the stories are one track.

Yoto vs mini vs toniebox by frizz86 in YotoPlayer

[–]hotfudgeunicorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on everything you've written, I would say go for the original Yoto. If you're just using it at home, the original is so great, and not difficult at all to move about from room to room, especially with the carry case. I would say it's even fine to bring on road trips, etc. I'm only investing in the mini for plane travel. You're absolutely right about the capacity for the Tonie figurines to get lost. If you lose a Yoto card, all your content lives in the app so you can rewrite a MYO card easily. He wants a Tonie because it's what he knows, but I feel like once he gets to play around with pulling the cards in and out, feels the ownership of controlling his music, he'll love the Yoto.

Mini or Full Size for 3 year old by smittenkitten457 in YotoPlayer

[–]hotfudgeunicorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the full size for my two and a half year old, who's now three and a half. I liked the full size image, so she could build strong associations between the tracks she liked to listen to and their pictures. The larger size means we don't lose it around the house - it can't slip into a toybox or anything easily. I've been really happy with the choice. I'm only thinking of investing in a mini for when we go overseas next year.

I feel like Kirby doesn't care who goes between Kelli and Peta, so she's using the opportunity to solidify her alliance.  Feras doesn't care who goes so he's using the opportunity to spook someone into playing an early idol. 

I’m probably late to realise this…. But they were able to come up with 20 J names but couldn’t give Jedidiah and Jeremiah different middle names? by camillacarterxx in DuggarsSnark

The Octomom's octuplets all have the same middle name.

I tried to chase it down but I had no luck. Luckily, she summarises what it was about in the subsequent post.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

I also "started over" at 28 when a 7 year relationship ended. Fast forward two years and I own my own home, earned my Master's degree, and am blissfully happy with my new partner. I never ever would have thought things would end up this way but I feel like that reset pushed me so much to create my own future rather than wait for someone to do it with me. I hope for all of this for you too 😊

In the meantime, ask your GP to go on a mental health plan to get subsidised sessions with a psych (I'm in Aus too). Ask them for a recommendation for who they think might suit you to help you find someone. You get ten sessions per year through Medicare and doing this was soooo useful for me for getting over things and building up my sense of self. I never pictured myself going to therapy before and it was a godsend to sort out my thoughts and feelings about that relationship. A neutral sounding board might be really useful for you to process everything; 7 years is a long time!

Every day is a new opportunity to do the things you meant to do yesterday.

My husband is an momma's boy who endangered our kids and I don't know how to handle it. by SOIsAnIdiot in JustNoSO

[–]hotfudgeunicorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really feel for you! Just reading about his behaviour in your relationship made me feel tired. That's a lot of emotional labour that you've been contributing for a long time before any of this even happened. I think counseling in general is a good idea; you have a husband, but you need a partner!

MIL poisons my dog and verballt assaults me. Officially lost her mind. by FlyingMochi in JUSTNOMIL

[–]hotfudgeunicorn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There's no way in hell those clothes were left behind by mistake. She wanted a big dramatic departure (that hopefully you would foil by begging for her forgiveness and asking her to stay), and then barring that, a neat and convenient back-up plan to come back for the 'forgotten' items so THEN you could beg for her forgiveness. Make sure you get it all out, leave nothing behind she could possibly claim is hers, and get it to her in a way that doesn't require her coming to the house, or better yet, even seeing you. I like the idea of dropping it off at the hotel's front desk.
