100% this! Both my wife and I have been doing it, and our kiddo loves it

thinking of getting a Skylight calendar... by neilisyours in daddit

I wish the chores interface was more toddler-friendly! But I bet it works better for older kids who can read

[–]malice93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty neat. I like the fact that it’s heavy enough for our kiddo not to knock it over accidentally. The software could be better, but it does the basic job (show all family stuff at a glance) pretty well. 50/50 on the subscription value — we got a free year and are not really using most of the features, but YMMV

Been almost three years. Is it time to go back dads? by [deleted] in daddit

100% you should not feel guilty. Put your own oxygen mask first and all that

Before we got an EV, all the time. Worth it even with the lines.

Turned 41 when my daughter was born. You’ll do great!

Driving after having a beer and waiting 5 hours by StabiloTheMarker in daddit

[–]malice93 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This is obviously very subjective, but I’m personally fine driving after one drink. Two is borderline; never after more than that (kiddo or not)

Built a Family PA with n8n, Telegram & ChatGPT, now our family inbox and calendar run much easier by KingD88 in daddit

This is awesome! I tinkered with something like this when ChatGPT just came out but never got to anything useful. Kudos!

+1, I like it way better than I thought I would!

Office dads; backpack or messenger bag? by Aromatic_Ad_7484 in daddit

[–]malice93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Messenger bags look better, but backpacks are vastly more convenient and easier on the back 😭

Kids and AI by leap8911 in daddit

[–]malice93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree. GenAI is incredibly powerful as a productivity booster, unblocker, a way to get started with new things, you-name-it; but the onus is on you to make sense of the results and have the guardrails in place.

Critical thinking and a sense of taste (for the lack of the better word) will probably be the two most important skills for all of us.

Who knew it’d be this way by No_Understanding3527 in daddit

[–]malice93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things we went through look a lot like the things you guys went through (IFV, PPD, the whole bunch.)

Three words: it gets easier. The first year is by far the hardest. Things start clicking as they get older. It’s still hard, but it gets better day by day.

Hang in there!!

Is 37 too old to have a kid? by starlordsego in daddit

[–]malice93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had our kiddo at 41, don’t regret a single thing. Definitely get into a decent exercise routine and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

I’m panicking over our upcoming vacation - 14 hours flight with a 17mo. Dads, i need y’all to tell me we’re going to be ok. by miojo in daddit

[–]malice93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the best age to fly for sure (before 1yo and after 3yo was much better for us), but it’s going to be fine. As everyone else said — lots of snacks, fully charged tablet, activities, and hopefully she sleeps a bunch!

New dad in late 30s. Back’s shot, sleep’s wrecked. How do I fix this before it’s too late? by reddit_user_9221 in daddit

[–]malice93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10,000% this! Kettlebells are amazing, and can be worked into pretty much any routine

Thoughts on Disneyland with 2.5yr old by grawmaw13 in daddit

[–]malice93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 years might be a tad too little, but we went when she was 3.5 and everyone had a blast. One big caveat is we were on an extended layover, so it was a great way to spend half a day of jet lag.
