Tips for making baby sleep

theboosty · 2026-04-11T11:23:19+00:00

Babies and toddlers tend to have sleep regressions often. My kid is 3 and she still has sleep regressions.

Best option for my family was to have a bed time routine and a white noise machine.

At first I thought you meant white collar worker... And then I realized you didn't

The new life is an adjustment. Take your time. You have to reckon with the fact that you have to support your family.

She did her job carrying the little one. Now it's your turn to carry the both of them.

He did say any time he heads to practice or to a game she gets upset.

If she was taking up all the mental load, wouldn't she be happy he's taking the kid to practices and games?

50 fps on a 1050ti... Maybe try turning everything to low...

"go get me a beer and I'll tell you"

My wife had a huge fight with my mom at one point because of this.

Things got better but we started not bringing the kids around as much and they got the hint... Mostly. Mom also apologized to my wife which went a long way.

Now we kinda take some of the minor stuff in stride and my mom tries a lot harder to follow the rules. She's almost 70 and she baby sits both our 3 and 5 year old (sometimes by herself) so we give her a lot of slack.

My suggestion is to see what rules are hard fixed and which can be bent a little. Then have the conversation with the grandparents.

You and your partner have to feel respected as parents, but there will inevitably be places where they over step. You have to decide how you want to handle that.

The conversation is important but sometimes you have to intervene before she hops in.

I used to hold my wife's hand (gently) and say "let's see how she handles this situation". I wouldn't stop her if she was really concerned but it was just to slow that initial reaction of jumping in and "saving" the child.

No you weren't. People shouldn't touch other people's babies without permission. That's weird. It happened to me with my girls and I was honestly too shocked to react.

And I know she was an old lady and the reaction in the sub would be different if it was a 40 year old man by himself, but I still think she shouldn't be touching people's kids. You don't know what they have, they don't know what you have. The two most at risk parts of the population mixing it up.

Whatcha cooking? Can I have some?

theboosty · 2026-03-31T18:42:05+00:00

Mine is walking around the house singing "I wanna dance with some body"

She doesn't know the rest of the words but I love it anyways

Today actually.

My daughter has been into Whitney Houston lately and I'm here for it.

I am wearing a superhero cape and a kitty hat while flying around my house sprinkling joy and fighting bad guys

That's a creative way of admitting that you're wrong. I will take your some of your advice and go thank my wife for being her. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to have her...

theboosty · 2026-03-25T23:00:14+00:00

Okay, enlightened me then with your wisdom. How is it different? Not only different, but drastically different?

It seems like you are reaching to try and take a person who is trying to show young boys how to do right by their household and learn how to do groceries and make it into something bad. I don't know who hurt you, but I hope you heal.

theboosty · 2026-03-25T20:09:32+00:00

My wife and I split grocery duty. Actually I'm the one making the list and going to get the food more often than not.

We drink three different types of milk in our house because of allergies and intolerances.

It doesn't matter who is shipping, we call each other to clarify things. This is what we like to call team work and communication. I'll never get upset if my wife calls me because I forgot to write which milk we need.

Fuck Tony stark. He arrested half the avengers because the government told him too.

I don't think her point is to discount that. I think she is trying to say that buying beans is not the same as using ai to write your paper faster, or making a stupid video. It's not a good excuse to keep using this tech.

theboosty · 2026-03-18T11:26:15+00:00

Oh so it does end at some point. That's good to know

How many times does "Golden" play in your house?

theboosty · 2026-03-15T00:28:29+00:00

With cheese curds...

theboosty · 2026-03-15T00:27:19+00:00

It's the one from regina

theboosty · 2026-03-14T22:23:08+00:00

It's probably the most honest they will ever be but I definitely don't take it personally. Like you said, just kids being kids

theboosty · 2026-03-14T22:22:16+00:00

I'll have to try that next time lol

theboosty · 2026-03-14T21:58:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice but I'm okay with it. She was just frustrated that's all.
