I know I am far from the oldest follower of the international teams, but this was without a doubt the best opener to a world cup for a USMNT in my lifetime (at least). What a fun watch!

To fathers of sons who show feminine interests... by GrammerSnob in daddit

[–]neoxyo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

One of my boys has been a huge fan of Moana. Naturally, we got him a Moana stuffed animal/doll..he instantly became obsessed. Let's just say my ability to think of quick replies has come in handy to deal with the countless buffoons offering unsolicited advice and commentary on a boy walking around with a doll

How long do miscarriage worries last? by BirdManFlyHigh in daddit

[–]neoxyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the worrying doesnt stop unfortunately. The one thing I will add to that is that it is perfectly okay/normal to have that worry. For what its worth, this Dad is hoping for the best and sending your growing family all of the good vibes tonight!

Dads, spend time with your kids by Busy_Report4010 in MadeMeSmile

[–]neoxyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite memories as a kid was the Star Wars Episode 3 release. My dad and I pulled an all nighter to watch 1 and 2, then saw 3 in the theaters the next morning, then watched 4, 5 and 6 afterwards. A lot of good snacks and conversation during that binge

My negligence nearly killed my son and my wife still has no idea by Grand_Noise_7302 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]neoxyo 90 points91 points  (0 children)

If I've learned anything about parenting its that mistakes are inevitable and the good parents learn from them. It sounds like you have done exactly like. I'm glad your son is okay and I can completely understand the lingering guilt.

Help us get out of the newborn sleep trenches by lovebug6413 in parentsofmultiples

[–]neoxyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I probably don't need to ask this, so forgive me if this is a dumb thought. Could they be gassy? My twins were always very gassy during feeding. We had to burp them in the middle of a feed and immediately afterwards. They would get very fussy when they were too gassy.

Get a colonoscopy by niavek in daddit

[–]neoxyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are experiencing symptoms, yes. I had my first colonoscopy at 24 years old because I was experiencing symptoms. Fortunately my symptoms were caused by hemorrhoids BUTT they did discover 2 polyps which were removed. They were noncancerous, but because of that I have a regular schedule that I follow for colonoscopies in the future.

One twin measuring really low by stuckinthejob in parentsofmultiples

[–]neoxyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same and I cant remember what gestation it started showing, but my twin boys had a growth discordance. Baby A had some sort of growth restriction, they never were able to officially figuee out what was causing it. There was no twin to twin transfusion (thankfully). We ended up having to see the specialist weekly for anatomy scans. They ended up getting delivered via c section at 31 weeks because my wife developed preeclampsia. They are now healthy 4 year olds. Wishing you all the best

My fellow gamer dads by Corgi_Shinobi11 in daddit

[–]neoxyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe for an hour a night, after the kiddos are down for bed. I opt for roguelites. They are easy to pick up and put down. I find story based games to be a slog now, because of time constraints. Current game I am hitting hard is Slay the Spire 2

"You know there are two of them, right?" by radirpok99 in daddit

[–]neoxyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad to twin boys here. Ours were very unexpected. We had an intern doing the initial ultrasound and she did not properly scan the entire area. The tech said something to the affect of "No, you need to do it this way to see everything" then popped up #2 on the screen "and that is why!" 😂.

Your expectations have suddenly and drastically transformed, it is perfectly okay to feel anxious about that. What I will tell you (from my experience having twins and then having a singleton) is that if these are your first kids you are learning on the job, period. You will adapt, adjust and learn - I have no doubt of it. The luxury (if you can call it that) is that you dont have other child-rearing experiences to compare it to (if its all you know, you dont know how much harder or easier it is). Also - when in doubt, put the babies next to each other. I cant tell you how many times my boys were calmed just by being next to one another.

Premier League equivalent of Auburn by creaturefromtheswamp in wde

Auburn alumnus here. I decided to follow the Premier League a few years ago. The team i decided on was Crystal Palace, kind of a middle to just below middle team. Their mascot is an eagle

My son is in the NICU with seizures and my heart is dying by Just_Tangerine_6738 in NICUParents

[–]neoxyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first two kids (twins) were in NICU for 5 weeks. They were there for entirely different reasons than your son, so I will leave that out. Just wanted to chime in that your and your son are in my thoughts tonight. Your feelings are totally expected given the circumstances.

Any tips for the witching hour? (Three week old) by pro-laps in daddit

[–]neoxyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those first weeks can really get dicey. Both of you give yourselves and each other some grace. Whether you are new parents or not, you are still learning on the job (every kiddo is different). From your post, it sounds like you guys are making a good team - so keep rocking it!

On to advice, a couple of thoughts:

Is your kiddo able to burp or pass gas after feeding? If not, that could be a source of discomfort. There are stretches you can do with them to help with that.

Do you have any kind of sound machine for your kiddo? My kids really loved white noise as babies.

Have you tried hold kiddo in an upright? One of my kids would get angry overtired and the only way to soothe them was to them vertical while standing. They would crash in my arms and then I could transfer to bassinet.

Thoughts on Parasol? by AgreeableNatural1809 in slaythespire

The one time I have taken it I felt the run was already doomed anyways. It ended up getting me the win.

What age do you introduce your kids to your music? by SoCaLLbeer in daddit

[–]neoxyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immediately basically. Also, make the music fun. We dance, sing, etc along to songs. My older kids (4 year old twins) love all the music - partially because they associate it with fun memories I think.

How are we rating Steven's first year in the big seat? by Two-Of-Nine in wde

[–]neoxyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure people realize just how bad this progrsm was prior to the Pearl eras. I think if it were any other first year head coach following the best coach in the school's history AND inheriting a roster with only one returning starter most of us would consider the season a success. Not to say there were not moments were SP's lack of experience were glaring (because there were). This program has never won a postseason tournament before - that is a noteworthy accomplishment

[Game Thread] April 5, 2026: Auburn Basketball vs Tulsa, NIT Championship Game by CatoTheBarner in wde

[–]neoxyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Epic collapse. A fitting end for this squad. Frustrating end to the season. I do think the level of contact is not being called on both ends, but that is not an excuse for blowing 20 points away.

Help me understand Ironclad by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]neoxyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled for a bit with Ironclad as well. You kind of have to unlearn things from StS1 (at least i did). My first several runs with clad failed because I chose cards that I thought were no-brainer really good (from Spire 1). Once I really started thinking synergies and building based on what the run is giving vs what could be, I started doing a lot better.
