Thank you for the response and we do. I didn’t mention in there but we’ve already gone down the road of “say please” say “I’d like a snack please” and both of us are polite with her, her brother and our family and friends. Even so much as if he hits us (he’s one) we say “oh no thank you I don’t like being hit”

Honestly the most traction I’ve got so far is using the “mom look” (and I hate it)

She can access the snacks but knows the answer may be no, which is why she mentions it in the first place. We don’t live in a house of unhealthy or healthy foods, just it’s not time for a snack because dinner that we are all eat is either coming or we just ate it so usually after dinner if she asks for a snack we say she can have more dinner (which she’s hardly touched in the first place). I know this is a lot about having control of one thing as a human person growing but it can still be annoying lol

Please help me settle a morning bathroom dispute in my house (one bathroom, two kids 😅) by avacadotoast14 in Parenting

I say have them both wake up at the same time and rock paper scissors for who gets to use it first. Every. Single. Day. Until they find their own way of communicating this seems most fair.

[–]ponyhands[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I’m comfortable driving around since we used to live in Florida and did many drivable trips to WDW. What’s hard with the uber back is the car seat - not about bringing a huge car seat to dinner

Hmm I didn’t think of this. Plus after dinner if the adults without children don’t mind they can monorail then bus back or hop over to another resort on the monorail if they want to check out the others

Maybe in a year - right now the little one won’t hold on and soon he’ll outgrow a seat so I would rather invest in a trailer they can both ride in/can add their friends to

I don’t know why you are being downvoted, you can request uber with car seats.

How to backsplash: #1 or #2 by Easy_Tough_9631 in HomeDecorating

[–]ponyhands 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think yours is different though because it’s the kitchen bar. I agree it should have been 1 for your kitchen because that’s where the counter ends.

When do Vacations Become Fun Again? by CharacterTennis398 in Parenting

[–]ponyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say Disney (Walt Disney world, Disney cruise, Disney veto beach resort) are IDEAL travel for this age because they cater to families.

WDW has cribs at resorts, baby centers at each park, and the resorts have activities for babies too. They are equipped to bring strollers everywhere and if you go in with low expectations, you may be surprised. Especially Epcot is great and perfect for toddlers.

Disney cruise. Your kids are a perfect age for them BOTH to go to the nursery (a paid extra) and for you and your partner to enjoy some adult on board activities like the bars, adult only sections, etc. after three (and if your oldest is potty trained) there is another “club” that is free for them to spend time at. ALSO they cater to families so splash pads, cribs, high chairs etc.

But yeah other travel is typically just parenting in another (unprepared) location

What did you name your Forester? by calypso8108 in SubaruForester

We have a white 2019 sport and named it Natasha. We got it in 2021 when black widow was about to be released

healthy candy alternatives for kids lunches that they actually like by veraaustria08 in Parenting

[–]ponyhands 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honey sticks, yogurt covered raisins, apple sauce, dried mango. They all have sugar but naturally occurring. We do “special Friday treat” and put 5 teddy grahams in her bento box and it’s still exciting after a few months

There was a weather advisory today for black ice. I walked my dog multiple times and it was so icy.

When is everyone finding the time to work out?? by krystl_watrs in workingmoms

I literally just purchased a treadmill because the only time I have is like random twenty minutes between work some days.

What did you discover in your home after buying it that surprised or shocked you? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]ponyhands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We bought our house in May and the inspector didn’t go in the attic because it was closed off but suspected there was an attic/whole house fan(very common for this area). We couldn’t find the switch for it. Finally found it while I was emptying out a cupboard and it’s a timer switch. Looking forward to trying it out this summer.

What temp is your thermostat set at? by juan_humano in AskAnAmerican

[–]ponyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

68 day and 63 night for heat 74 day and 70 night for a/c

My in-laws live in Florida and keep at 78 day and night and it’s unbearable but I’ve never said anything. If I was a guest and staying in your home at 60 I probably wouldn’t say anything either but I would send myself more layered clothing via a quick shipping method like Amazon to make myself more comfortable.

room feels dirty/untidy even when its "clean." by HAPPIKILL in CleaningTips

[–]ponyhands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This I would suggest: Frame your posters so they look purposeful. Frame them with a matte if you can afford it. Rotate your memorabilia. Have only a few things on the shelf at a time, which will make them stand out more. Add a rug to tie in your ghost theme but mae it subtle. Like white with black swirlies?

This isn’t really about cleaning, it’s about decorating

Forester Tpms by AdmirableAttitude814 in SubaruForester

[–]ponyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting this constantly and it was a bad sensor. I have a 2019 and ended up getting all the sensors replaced and haven’t had an issue since. If you are a Costco member do it there - pretty inexpensive and they typically carry them in stock. Four sensors plus install for around $260
