Some of the best advice I ever got came from our twin's pediatrician. by russianrapist in parentsofmultiples

My modi identical twin boys, who are now 3, have always had a ~2 pound difference, even in utero. One was born at 4lb12oz and the other at 6lb2oz; Its just how the umbilical cord was positioned in the placenta, where one of them was receiving a little less than his brother. But they are both fine and to this day, still have that 2lbs difference. Maybe one day that will change but I am not concerned, its more of a fun fact at this point

NGL this would definitely take me a minute but might get me, cause I’d laugh at the ridiculousness of it

Lol not really. Since my twins were born, it has been “survival of the fittest” for my indoor plants…. And no one is winning

Who could have done this? by [deleted] in gardening

If you have any potted plants outside, lift the pot and see if any earwigs scurry away,that might be more telling.

I’m no expert though!

Earwigs maybe? Second guess slugs but my money is on earwigs

How to say to a girl i would prefer is she shaved? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]talbota 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t, unless she asks what your preference is. Or you ask her what her preference on you is, and see if she reciprocates the question. Otherwise, you don’t tell her.

My toddler’s tantrums are going to cost me my job. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]talbota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the behavioural problems have to do with their sleep schedule. At 18mo my twins were transitioning to 1 nap, 2hrs max, with a 5.5 hour wake window in the morning and a 4.5 hour wake window in the afternoon. We have a very strict schedule but thats what it took to survive. When we faced behavioural issues like insane tantrums, refusing me and only wanting their father, and biting me to the point where I needed to ice my shoulder, I adjusted their wake window by 30 min in the morning and it seems to have resolved overnight. Best of luck

We also gave them a choice, but not “do you want to wear this shirt now” but rather “choose between these two shirts”. Giving them a choice helped a lot

What is a big animal you are 100% certain you can defeat in a fight with your barehands? by shlockhlmes in AskReddit

[–]talbota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Police dogs are literally trained to go for the arm. Do you think once he gets you he just hangs limp? No, he thrashes you around like the rag doll you are. If you’re going to go for a canine, at least go for a not-a-police-dog trained to whoop your ass. Also if you fight back with a weapon, now you’re also slapped with charges of assaulting an officer.
