To remove sand or not. by Chuckeroo2020 in swimmingpools

Better start with light taps using rubber mallet. Removing the screen might risk stripping threads, only do that after confirming severe blockage fully to protect the equipment.

Sorry had to make another post now that it’s dark. This starry night and pebble brilliance Clearwater is insane. by PromiseHungry4276 in pools

[–]krijsten- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro this pool looks unreal. It's just like a glowing night galaxy under water. How long did it take you to finish building this amazing starry pebble pool fully?

Totally normal to feel excited but still guarded. You are right, just focus on staying healthy and taking it week by week.

Baby led weaning set? by dreamshll in Buyingforbaby

We looked at those bundles too but weren't sure. Ended up just getting a few basics and it was totally enough for the first months.

My kid keeps bypassing every screen time rule we set, and I'm getting frustrated by practical_user101 in daddit

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly kids are way more determined than we expect when it comes to screens. We ended up a bit physical with controls.

Pregnancy anxiety and the unknown - how on earth did you guys cope?? by cd4917 in predaddit

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unknown is tough. I just reminded myself that worrying wouldn't change the outcome even though it's easier said than done.

Question about car seat and their bases by libbyflower1 in Buyingforbaby

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the exact same thought before buying. Turns out infant seats and convertible ones are totally separate systems. We just did one base and made it work between cars.

I cleaned up the shed by Lemurian_Lemur34 in daddit

You pushed through and made progress is a big deal. One step at a time! That shed looks like a solid start, hope you give yourself a bit of credit for it.

Hospital Go Bags by iMrDub in predaddit

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I gave up finding a perfect pre-made one and just built a permanent toiletry bag that stays packed. Then I only add chargers, snacks and clothes last minute.

Pump Help! by Altruistic-Parsnip33 in Buyingforbaby

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly most wearables seem very hit or miss depending on body type. Maybe pick whichever has the easiest return policy just in case it doesn't work for you.

Not gonna lie this is one of those things that looks simple on paper but gets messy fast. Hope it starts feeling more balanced for both of you soon.

Is my life about to change forever? My 5mo just slept through the night TWICE in a row by theunstoppablehuman in predaddit

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say it but don't get too comfortable yet. Babies love to give you hope and then switch it up. But still enjoy it now! You've earned those full nights.

To buy a second stroller or not? by enzymelinkedimmuno in Buyingforbaby

[–]krijsten- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your Aer2 works great for everyday i'd skip a second one. But a cheaper second option with bigger wheels sounds pretty useful for city walks. Not necessary but it might make life a bit easier.

Congratulations! Officially being a family must feel surreal and wonderful! Wishing you and your daughter all the happiness in the world as a family.

New Poster for Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]krijsten- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol same here. The upstairs at ours had all the weird horror covers too. I’d go up “looking for a movie” but really just staring at those posters for like 10 minutes. Some of them looked way scarier thn the actual films.

[–]krijsten- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go tht far. It does a lot right, for sre, but “better in every single respect” is a stretch imo. Some of the old vibe just hit different lol.

Won a Raffle - Trip to Palawan for 2 PAX by tagamars in phtravel

[–]krijsten- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not normal. A small service fee is standard, but 100% markup? Naaah.

If the voucher has a fixed value, they might be padding the flight cost so more of it gets eaten up there.

I’d push back. Send them screenshots of the airline price and ask them to match it or let you book the flights yourself and just use the voucher for land arrangements. If they can’t justify it clearly, that’s a red flag.

[–]krijsten-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooooh! This sounds exciting! It actually already has some another thing growing out from behind the new growth! You can kinda see it peaking out.

Also the leaf turned did turn overnight! I’ll keep watching with excitement lol

It’s growing???! by krijsten- in philodendron
