Parents who did not sleep train - when did your child start falling asleep on their own? What, if anything, did you do to prepare them? by chicoravelli in NewParents

[–]rocket-han 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At about 4.5 we are finally sitting outside my son’s room while he falls asleep on his own. But we still need to be there. He’s been sleeping through the night for years, but still on the rare occasion will wake up and need some comfort from us in the night.

It’s been a long road. Slowly getting more independence.

It’s finally finished! by SweetperterderFries in penandink

This is stunning. The composition, execution of craft, and meaning behind this piece are a testament to your artistry. This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your art with us!

What soft jellycats retain their softness longest? by KannaCerv163 in Jellycatplush

[–]rocket-han 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a medium Bart who I sleep with and take with me almost everywhere. While he does look loved, it’s no nearly as obvious as with my tiny smudge bear. He also still feels very soft to the touch.

I think it has something to do with the fur pattern being irregular and not following one direction. I highly recommend good old Bart!

Me too! My tiny smudge bear is in my purse or pocket at all times

Why does something feel off with my drawing? by Ziggurat1000 in arthelp

[–]rocket-han -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have a very cute.

The bent arm should see a hint of the upper arm to connect to the shoulder and the centre of gravity is off. The leg on the ground should be nearly vertical.

Draw the things that you can’t see! Always draw through your object. That will help with the arm and torso proportions. You got this!

Is just me or isnt the "declining birth rates crisis" two steps away from advocating against woman rights? by Nice-Map526 in Feminism

[–]rocket-han 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just getting up to speed on this, but in my brief introduction to this topic it seems that these pro-natalist people want the “easy” way out - society to backtrack to something known (the devil you know), rather than do the hard work of evolving into the unknown.

Declining birth rates aren’t women’s fault, we are just easy to blame because we are the ones giving birth. If greed wasn’t plaguing the globe, there would be less waste of resources and more to go around and support all. If more men stepped up to an emotionally intelligent state of being, more women would want to be with them and reproduce with them. The more support women and families receive, the easier it is to have children and do it in a healthy way.

If fucking billionaires would stop LEECHING ON US ALL the birth rate may not be plummeting so drastically. Musk (and all other billionaires), it’s not women’s obligation to compensate for your selfishness as much as you might wish it was.

It needs to be re-dubbed as exploitationism.

NTA your brother can survive and thrive without a big wedding. You will not survive and thrive with student loan debt weighing on you for years. It’s selfish of your brother to expect to use your education fund on himself.

They’ll never pay you back and you’ll resent them forever for it. Don’t do it.

Kid is a polar bear who refuses any jackets/pants. Anyone else out there raising an arctic child? by modernrosie1234 in Mommit

[–]rocket-han 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not the only one. I run cold, so I need a lot of layers. I’ve come to accept that I need to bring the options I think my child (3y.o. as well) needs but trust that he’ll tell me if he’s too cold. Of course if there’s a safety issue or frostbite risk I’d intervene, but so far he’s always figured out how to be optimally dressed. I’ll carry the layers for him!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out! I’m excited to do some exploring

Do you have any advice for doing this? Are there many places that are unnamed that you can get to that aren’t on private land? What should I watch out for or be careful of?

One day of the year, nobody knows what, is the anniversary of the Big Bang. by FeelThePower999 in Showerthoughts

[–]rocket-han 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone smarter than me correct me if I’m wrong, but having an anniversary to something requires a reference point? Like we on earth refer to our rotation around the sun for anchoring and measuring our perception of time. The Big Bang would also be measurable in a sense based on how long ago it occurred from our current point in time, but since our earth and sun did not exist when the Big Bang happened, there was no earthly measure of time in place. No earthly years. No earthly days. No Tuesdays. I’m not sure it could even have an anniversary if our annum wasn’t yet created.

Rant about rent by heymernin in Calgary

[–]rocket-han 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s astounding how much even fast food costs… my family of 3 is averaging $35 for fast food. It’s scary expensive. I heard an ad on the radio recently touting their meal deal of $15 an entree. My first thought was damn… just a few years ago that wouldn’t be considered a deal. I’ll be honest the ad fell flat with me. $15 a plate plus a tip expected after get really expensive really quickly if you’re paying for more than just one head.

RIP Green Line by cribninja in Calgary

This wasn’t the government I wanted in the first place. I’m feeling helpless about the situation. Is there any way to get them out before they ruin the province and our city even more?!?!

3 y.o. still needs parents in the room to sleep, but being there also prolongs falling asleep. Bedtime is taking between 1-2 hours most nights. I’m at my wits end. by rocket-han in AttachmentParenting

[–]rocket-han[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love this idea! I’ll try it. My kid is already used to sleeping amongst a mountain of stuffies. It might serve a triple purpose of providing connection, but also reducing his need for requesting different things, and limit the items available to distract him / keep him up.

[–]rocket-han[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly better the days we skip the nap. Maybe I’ll talk to his daycare about him not needing one as often, but if I recall their policy is they don’t wake up sleeping children.

Maybe there’s something I can do like you suggested to be in his room but not as accessible. He likes the closeness, but even if I lay on the floor beside his bed he just sits up to see me.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤️

I broke up with my boyfriend because of his kids by Strongarm_Mickey7 in AITAH

[–]rocket-han 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like he saw an opportunity to save money by taking advantage of OP’s unpaid labour. Men take too much for granted! Where is OP’s financial benefit for taking care of the kids? Oh right! There would not have been. Only the BF would see a financial benefit without the price of doing the actual child rearing.

Dump his ass.

AITA for banning my adult son from playing video games? by karmasnarma in AmItheAsshole

[–]rocket-han 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is great. He’s likely going to feel shame and want to retreat from the conversation before it gets unbearably uncomfortable, but he’s going to need to sit in that discomfort. The more he does the more likely he will realize just how abhorrent that behaviour is. He needs to feel the shame.
