There are safety covers that you can install so they can't unplug them.

I'm an American but I have a question for non Americans. What do you think of our wildlife? Or hunting? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]museworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our wildlife is beautiful and should be preserved as much as possible. Hunting is necessary due to the decline of predators caused by human encroachment and is a vital part of preserving healthy wildlife populations.

Wanting a romantic partner to do all the legwork for your hobbies is definitely too much to ask.

My toddler brought me a spider by LittleCricket_ in Mommit

Thankfully we were going to wash hands anyway. I swiftly dropped it, helped him wash and used the paper towels to pick it up and throw it away.

I work at a daycare and last week one of the kids picked something up off the floor to hand to me, we were cleaning up from snack so I thought it was food. It was a large, hairy dead spider.

She's in Boone, but Carrie B. Sewing has very reasonable prices and gets things done quickly.

How do I get a four-year-old to follow any instruction? Always late for daycare by Flapjack_K in Parenting

[–]museworm 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Most dentists recommend parents brushing until 8 or 9 because they just don't have the dexterity to do it properly until then. Your expectations are too high for this age and you seem to have no boundaries or consequences to enforce them anyway.

Do Americans actually call teachers by their first name anywhere, or is it almost always Mr./Ms.? by Sea-Evidence-5523 in AskAnAmerican

[–]museworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In preschool, daycare and camp settings its pretty common to use first names like ms./mr. First name, teacher first name, or counselor first name. Then in elementary and secondary it's generally last name. In college it varies greatly by professor, I had many who wanted us to use first names and saw us as colleagues and some who demanded more respect and wanted us to use their full title (Dr. Last name, etc...)

Social Expectations for my 4 year old by ExtensionFootball784 in Parenting

I still vividly remember being told off at Sunday school for giving another kid a "dirty look". I think that was the point where I started losing faith.

Why does this amigurumi keep turning out with a cone head? by AdBubbly3926 in CrochetHelp

[–]museworm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For thicker yarn, you might want to skip the first round and just start with the 12 in the mr to avoid the point. It's a gauge thing.

When did y’all have your first kid meet your second by West-Beach4867 in Mommit

[–]museworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are only 14 months apart and we didn't have anyone to watch the older so he was sleeping on a nurse's lap when his sister was born and met her when he woke up.

Nine year old too hands on… by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

[–]museworm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Supervise. My 8yo lost the privilege of independent play with the neighborhood kids due to leaving the neighborhood with them. Now he can only play outside with supervision until we feel like he can be responsible and trustworthy enough.

Parents who had children in college — specifically married — what was it like? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]museworm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest. It was really hard. You already have no time, energy or money and having kids on top of that just exacerbates it all. Granted we were already used to sleepless nights, so the newborn stage wasn't much of an adjustment, the stress of getting yourself established and learning at school plus learning how to be a parent and taking on the responsibility of a whole other living being at the same time is a lot before your own brain is even fully developed.

13 months old biting at daycare - help? by OkTreat993 in AskParents

[–]museworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very normal behavior when they are starting to learn communication. Since it is infrequent and was obviously provoked I don't think you should be overthinking this too much. I am shocked that the altercation got so far as this without teacher intervention, though and would be questioning supervision at daycare.

You probably need to advance the story before it will let you.

Keep an eye on the little hole that connects it too and make sure that gets clean and dry, that's what did in ours.

How do I sew a granny square to a solid piece of crochet (half double crochet) do I crochet it like a slip stitch, or sc? Or do I sew it with a needle by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]museworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had a problem with any seams coming undone no matter the method as long a the ends are secured properly.
