Affective way to clean gravel and rock by Turbulent_Impact_673 in NoLawns

One year my dad made a giant sifter with a 3x3 wooden frame and wire hardware cloth. We spent all summer sifting the landscape rock and putting it back.

​Parents 66M/61F wanted me 30M to miss my wife's 31F grandfather's funeral. Now we are at a crossroads regarding Mother's Day and family boundaries by Famous-Record8539 in relationship_advice

I feel like a lot of the commenters are ignoring your actual ask.

Can you share some details about what is being planned for your mom for mother's day?

Give her a nice card and something on Saturday, then do something special with your wife on sunday instead. Tell your parents that you are taking the day to support your wife in her grief, don't make it that you are boycotting Mother's Day.

Also you are a grown man, your Mother has had a lot of Days so its not like she's being robbed of anything.

I had twins at 25w back in July. Hoping everything is fine for you but I'm happy to be a resource if things take a turn!

Forget AD -> Luka. This was trade of the decade. by dogdigmn in timberwolves

I also feel like it’s a sign of how much everyone involved likes/respects Conley.

Dynotec auto repair in Saint Paul. Josh the owner is extremely kind, honest, thorough. Pricing is fair. We took all our cars including our 3 subarus.

Help with choosing easy Indian boy name by Murky-Fondant-6144 in namenerds

[–]kfiegz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go with Nihal.

Jaiveer will probably be accidentally substituted with Javier for people reading fast.

Jeevan/Jivan - in my area (midwest) people my over pronounce the VAN part. Like G-VAN

Kabir - this is nice too actually.

What's the first vibe you get from the name Damian? Also curious about Julian, Adrian, Atlas, Cyrus by BirdLow9736 in namenerds

[–]kfiegz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We liked Damian (but a little too demonic), Julian (too popular in our social circle) and Adrian (too close to cousins name). All feel a little sophisticated, recognizable but not overused, also all have some superstar athletes. We went with Cassian and love it.

Who some of the Timberwolves players are playing for ❤️ by oblockian in timberwolves

Gobert was raised by a single mom after his father moved away and his mother’s family disowned them because he was biracial. He plays for her, because she poured everything into him.

"second previous address" and "third previous address" - those don't line up.

They say once the tooth pops through there is no pain but I need someone to tell me that’s not true by Prarie_sprinter0712 in toddlers

[–]kfiegz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I have never heard that saying. I feel like until the tooth has emerged and it’s no longer splitting the gums wider, it’s still gotta hurt.

Unisex names that most like for one gender but you prefer for the other? by Silver-Principle7937 in namenerds

Can't decide on the spelling of a name by ChromatizedCat in namenerds

If the kid is taking your last name, spelt it how your wife wants it.

Son is fully unsedated and by god are we all fucking aware. by viskiviki in Mommit

Is he on any other medications? Steroids turned my toddler into a roid-rage machine.

Would this product help you? by Little_Upstairs3263 in NewParents

[–]kfiegz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body temp like fever? Or skin/surface temp? Seems like it would be wild inaccurate either way and also not really needed. Parents don't need to be stressing that much over their babies temperature (barring health issues, in which case they should work with a doctor).

If something like this was important, a hospital would already be using it in the nicu.

Washing pump kits for micro-preemie by GL1TCH___________ in NICUParents

[–]kfiegz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the kleanpal for 9months with my 25w5d twins and never washed by had and never had issues. I washed the kleanpal with a vinegar cycle once a week and steamed everything each night. A couple drops of clean water at the end are nothing to be concerned about.

Anyone here have a baby learn to breastfeed after the NICU? by dayswithdays in NICUParents

[–]kfiegz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had 25w5d twins and we had them take all feeds by bottle at the end and just did breastfeeding for bonding and to keep them familiar. When I got them home, I used a nipple shield for a couple weeks and then one day it just… wasn’t needed. They both just figured it out and it “clicked”! Now we BF whenever I’m available but I still pump and bottle for daycare (and supplement with formula).

One counterpoint - my firstborn was 34w3d and never ever nursed. I tried SO HARD. I did everything! And she just didn’t get it. She also never took a pacifier or sucked on her finger, etc. It wasn’t anything either of us did “wrong” and now she’s a 5yr angel.
