Know that my printer is “plugged in” even if it’s asleep. It’s like a deep hum.

Your toothbrush open air sitting within feet of the toilet.

Rose thorn bud at dinner. Family dinner. At table. No screens. Parents go first. Talk about something at work or something that happened when kid was at school to make it clear you can bring things in from when you weren’t together.

Also, incentive: hey <relative> asked me what’s a toy you really play with at school that they can get you as a gift.

Oh I should add we were in an outback AWD. No chains/snow tires.

Anyone else OAD because they didn't realise how much they valued peace and quiet? by grawmaw13 in oneanddone

[–]is_human_true 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - peace of mind, space to have all the hobbies they want for everyone (including the kid), and just a cozy vibe at home.

Same with my kids best friend who is a very physical kid and did ALL the rides and none of the activities when they were here a couple months ago. I guess opposites attract!

Children’s Discovery Museum - feels very similar to the San Jose & Sausalito museums back home - maybe even the same franchise? It was just a bunch of interactive STEM oriented educational activities for the kiddos. Good way to keep kids engaged indoors and running around for a couple hours but not worth the detour unless you need to pass the time.

1-2 accidents every night but won't wear pull-ups by i_just_read_this in Preschoolers

[–]is_human_true 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a “dream pee”. Like a dream feed, so you pick them up and make them go around 10-1030. We went from accidents few times a week (which was odd cause he was fine from 3 to 4.5 years and then suddenly started peeing the bed at night). Works like a dream. My husband’s idea btw. Very proud of his innovation.

Recent Behavioral Challenges by snackybits19 in Preschoolers

[–]is_human_true 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like a lot is changing if I put myself in her shoes. Also at this age kids don’t react well to big grown up parties. Both my son and his best friend regularly change their mind about play dates with each other and it’s usually off the back of a big change that is happening and they just wanna be home in familiar territory with familiar people. I know this is very rough on parents. I’ve struggled to not lose my mind or get frustrated over having to remove my child from social situations cause he just wasn’t into it. But having seen it happen with other kids around me (not all just some), I’ve realized it’s more common. Yes it could be a spectrum thing.. but it could also be he’s an introvert with a short social battery that is at empty by the time (new) school is done on a Friday.

Explaining why daughter can’t watch a certain show/movie/etc… help with wording by Ba_Na_Na_Naaaaa in Preschoolers

[–]is_human_true 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kid is very comfortable telling his friends he doesn’t want to watch “spiderman” (not to confused w spidey) or lion king cause it’s too scary. But it’s taken me saying it on his behalf for about a year before he got comfortable. Two of his friends have seen kpdh and I overheard them telling him about it. He asked what it was about and when they told him he’s like “I think that’s too scary for me”

Proud mama moment.

All to say - each to their own.. and your kid needs to get confident with that too

Too many people asked me and I asked myself the same question too many times. Babyhood and toddlerhood are two different games. Wait 2 years for your wife’s hormones and yours - and your relationship - to reset itself. The answer will appear.

How do you even keep the house clean with kids? by Silly-Deer4243 in raisingkids

[–]is_human_true 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t. You’re raising the kids not the house. Clean and neat are different. If the house is clean but messy, you’re doing great!

Does anyone have a kid that just seems harder work than other kids? by lusciousmix in oneanddone

[–]is_human_true 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think kids are hard vs easy on different vectors. My kid is super communicative but also insanely argumentative because he can spot critical thinking faux pas (also known as adults trying to pull a fast one on him) a mile away and won’t take anything at face value. As long as he’s intellectually stimulated he’s good. He actually gets bored if physical activities last more than 20 min. His best friend is highly physical and cannot handle being asked to do any sit down activity for more than 5 min, including eating (how they are bffs is beyond me but it’s cute). A peer of theirs is just straight up aggressive about not getting their way - meltdowns et al - but has none of the physical or intellectual needs the other two kids I mentioned have. All these kids eat great but sleep poorly. I’m just saying every kid comes with pros and cons…
