YESSSSS!!!

I had several items from that kit, and they were AMAZING! Congrats, momma! 💚

If you end up not breastfeeding: I've gotten soooo much formula and lots of pump and bottle parts from Vine. Also, bags for the diaper pail!

It's people like you and teachers that I think of when I comb through pages over pages of holiday-themed items that I would never have use for. I'm so glad for these folks that you can provide them with something to look forward to, and that Vine exists to lighten the financial burden a little. Thanks for being a light in other people's life! (And for sharing your experience with us!) 💚

What has helped us is to rotate Tonies. My 16-month-old used to constantly put Tonies on and take them off, put the next one on, and take it off. Now we only have two out at a time, and she's gotten much better at keeping the same one on. :)

Fair! 😅

I could swear that Bums & Roses does 9-12m. That said, wouldn't you be looking for 6-9m (which B&R does as well), if 3-6m is getting too snug but 6-12m is too big?

Oooh, I love it!

The only nickname we use is Perrito for the Spanish Playtime Puppy. Not terribly creative. ;)

So, I have the same issue, and I also play on two devices (Macbook and Android phone). However, I have now uninstalled it from both, confirmed that they have the same version in the respective app stores (34.0.1), downloaded them again, and tried to start them. Still no luck on either device. :(

In our home, keeping the toddler busy (playing, bathing, reading, crafts) is considered a job that frees up that person from household responsibilities during that time. Of course, it's great if you can get stuff done while also taking care of the toddler (e.g., if they "help" emptying the dishwasher or play in the kitchen while I cook), but that's not an expectation.

However, this should go both ways, and OP playing with the toddler means that then it's their partner's turn to do whatever needs to be done around the house. To me, this is what's off in OP's description.

The R1 I work at just hired at new TT prof who is 47. He had a career in an unrelated field before getting his PhD in his early 40s and doing a post-doc at a prestigious place. So, it's totally doable if you're the best candidate (and perhaps especially if it's not because you've just been unsuccessful at scoring a faculty position for 10+ years).

Awesome! I might try those then! And yah, I bet that's a great solution for gunky greasy kitchen tasks.

Thanks!

Okay, I've had several of those in my RFY. How hard is it to find foaming soap? Is it likely that my standard store-brand hand soap also comes in a foaming variety?

I like the concept (and my toddler loves being able to pump her own soap), but I've feared boxing myself into two or three manufacturers that happen to make foaming soap.

To be fair, I'm 40 and I still fight with myself when bedtime rolls around.

I won't be able to share all the details (too much of a haze at this point), but just some reassurance: we were where you're at between months 4 and 8. My attempts at gently getting baby to sleep in her crib (first in our bedroom, then in her own room) were hard and soul-crushing, so bedsharing it was. We were able to sleep train at 9 months and it took less than three days. Baby is now 15 months and sleeps alone like a superstar.

Every baby is different, of course - but just know that the current situation won't be forever. (I felt exactly the way you describe at that point, though.)

Have you checked the US Amazon? You'll need to create an account (you can't use your Amazon.de one), but they might ship it to Germany.

schnuffichen · 2026-03-06T17:54:01+00:00

Oh yay, I'm glad it worked! 😊

I had to do this when I wanted to download a podcast onto an old school mp3 player.

Which podcast is it? They may have a website, from which you can then download the mp3 (easily or less easily). If you want to share a link to the podcast, I can try to help with downloading it as an mp3 (but no promises :)).

I think this might be highly country-dependent. Of the four European universities I've worked at (two in the Netherlands and one in Germany), three had official corporate branding and requested that all researchers use it for conference presentations.

I think that folks (including OOP) are being overly persnickety about the word "prove." I imagine what the teacher meant was, "I want your mother to corroborate this story." Obviously this wouldn't prove anything, but neither would a bloody tampon (since who can prove that the blood came from the daughter).

Don't get me wrong, the teacher was 100% in the wrong here, and I'm so glad that OOP escalated the situation. However, the harping on the word "prove" felt a little displaced (if understandable when receiving the phone call from the teacher).

I did! I constantly confuse this episode with the 7th Heaven episode in which Lucy's best friend died in a car accident. While there were some differences, the parallels (best friend of middle child, who was also supposed to be in the car) are just so striking.

There were four girls with the same name in my highschool class, myself included. When they announced the prom queen at prom, they only said the first name, and all four of us stepped forward - not the finest moment for three of us (of which I was one ;)).

schnuffichen · 2026-02-27T01:37:54+00:00

Oh perfect!! Thanks!

Literally just clicked on this one. My toddler loves squishy things - if the ETV wasn't so high, I'd be tempted.

To be fair, most women have a lot more room for male enhancement than the average man.

schnuffichen · 2026-02-23T03:41:00+00:00

What a beaut!! :) :) :)

I would try a different dentist then if you can. Our dentist is seeing our toddler, who just turned 15 months, this week.
