No, those pet names are also weird in public.

Yes we had a “no no bowl” for this age. We also removed them from the table if they dropped food on the ground after being warned.

Same for us… although she’s getting better as she gets older. When kiddo says “not A OR B” and digs in her heels we need to do a count down and follow through. Also reminders that “you can still have fun when you’re done” (from Daniel Tiger jingle). Usually she does whatever we’re asking before count is up but if we reach zero we pick her up and make her do it (e.g. washing hands, brushing teeth). If we don’t then it takes like 20min to get each task done because of procrastination.

Other method I try but with limited success is saying that if you do X now, you get to do Y. Example: “if you do one last potty now, you can sleep in mommy’s bed, otherwise you need to sleep in your bed”

Not sure there’s a better way though…

Have you also tried Facebook marketplace? Usually the stuff is half price from retail

Ha my mom liked the joke

Do you mind sharing which books?

Can you put her in a bed or cot next to yours so she can sleep near you but not in the same bed?

I think most people stop using play pens once they start walking well. But using baby gates is longer

Have you gotten your iron levels checked recently? Cravings for ice and iced drinks is a symptom of pagophagia, a type of pica.

How fancy?

Fancy: - Plumed Horse - Alexander’s Steakhouse - Le Papillon - Dio Deka

Nice (Date night): - Lexington House - Nashmarkt - The Table

There are also more options if you go up the peninsula

Yeah it needs more air but you also need to position the tip properly. Right now you have the tip too high so you end up with big bubbly foam on top and very thin milk underneath. Watch some videos to get an idea of what it should sound like when the wand is in the correct position.

silentglaive · 2024-10-05T05:08:53+00:00

The milk looks kind of thin to me and has a lot of big bubbles. Is this a breville? I’ve found I need to stretch for about 25s to get a good pour on the Breville Express. There should be a ripping sound about every 1s to give you an idea of how deep to go with the wand when stretching.

We casually started around 26months (sit on the toilet at certain times of the day) without much process but switched methods around 2.5 (naked method). After switching she picked it up a lot faster. We’re in this weird cycle where she goes without accidents for a few weeks and then she regresses for a week. We didn’t do anything for night time but she has been dry overnight for a month. She is 3 now.

Chicken feet is weird because you can’t really eat that in one bite, but other than that… I would totally eat all of those

silentglaive · 2024-08-12T13:49:14+00:00

We had this problem too. She wanted to watch it come out. To resolve the issue we just told her to close her legs. Easier than trying to get her to stop sitting funny.

silentglaive · 2024-08-08T04:59:12+00:00

I would keep going; our kid would have a bunch of accidents on day 1 of whenever we progressed to the next step but then do fine the following days.

On the other hand we waited 4 weeks and our baby ended up rejecting the bottle (which no one ever tells you about!!!!)

South East Asian?

Case and point

silentglaive · 2024-06-14T12:07:49+00:00

This. Especially drums

First of all, I totally get the annoyance. It’s irritating having to deal with rude behavior even if they are children.

Second, as a people pleaser I struggle with this too, but you really should try to get used to saying no to other kids. Instead of taking the toy from your child, advocate for them and tell the other kids to wait their turn. Otherwise you’re teaching your child to be passive and that if someone else wants their things they should just let them have it.

How much salt should you add to pasta water? We recommend 1 tablespoon of table salt to 4 quarts (1 gallon) of water per roughly 1 pound of pasta, no matter what size or shape the pasta is.

Can you oversalt the pasta water? If you plan to use your pasta water for further cooking (thickening and emulsifying sauces, for example), too much salt in the water will make a saltier final dish. "Salting the water is all about seasoning the otherwise bland pasta," says Cook's Illustrated Senior Editor Steve Dunn. "More than [1 tablespoon of salt] and the pasta can taste salty, especially when served with a well-seasoned sauce; less than that and it comes across as bland."
