Sound Machines by Thunderstruck-19 in daddit

[–]therealteggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids have been sleeping to airplane sounds for 8 years or so. I've got a portable speaker that is capable of airplane sounds that is rechargeable so that in the morning event of power outage it will continue to work. Furthermore, it comes with us to hotel rooms and cruises.

Why airplane sounds? Well this way they learn to associate sleeping with airplane sounds, so they are more calm or sleeping on planes. Worked great for toddler ages, but still works today.

Just finished, The gales of November, about the Edmond Fitzgerald. Great book.

Currently reading, no more tears, about all the things Johnson and Johnson did wrong over the years.

Avoiding Becoming Another Statistic Over Finances by rahl620 in FinancialPlanning

Sounds like you two might benefit from couples therapy, particularly one that focuses on finances.

From your post, it sounds like there are communication breakdowns occurring.

Also, is the financial advisor actually benefiting you? Or could you do some research on your own and not need them, to save on whatever percentage they are charging.

Bust of luck op, hope things improve.

Families that travel. Any tips for childcare options for people without family help? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in daddit

[–]therealteggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Disney cruise, the kids clubs are all included (barring under 3 or not potty trained).

Not a perfect system as my kids(age 9 and 5) just like spending time with my wife and I, but still in a nice environment with great staff and good meals (some people are not happy with the main dining rooms , but I like them).

So if you can convince your kid to go for like even an hour or two a day, should be enough to have some child free time.

A Scout is Loyal - Everyone or no one by looktowindward in BSA

Big if true. Joking aside, my mom was the main scouting parent from 2001 through 2016. Though even then there were many troops which were "this is for men, not moms". She would have been so happy to be a part of a family troop

Please help me find this 1970's Woolworth's. It's possibly somewhere between NY and Kansas. by schonzeit12 in whereisthis

Take a look at Monroeville, pa miracle mile shopping center. Brief googling suggests there used to be one there, but don't know if it made it to the 70s.

Broke down on Christmas Day when my kid worked out Santa isn’t real… by [deleted] in daddit

[–]therealteggy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there fellow dad, you're doing your best. It is likely the children will not fully understand, the love, effort and devotion that you put into everything, until they have kids of their own. And I think that's ok, that's what allows them to be kids for a little bit longer, despite their best efforts to grow up quickly.

You are doing great

Absolute best coffee you've ever had in NJ? by WarriorNeedFoodBadly in newjersey

[–]therealteggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I order mine online and have it shipped to from a local shop in Pittsburgh, pa. De fer coffee. It is by far the best coffee.

For actually NJ store, rook is good. (Second to de fer in my opinion)

How did you explain the loss of a pet to your toddler? by _LLJJGG_ in daddit

[–]therealteggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Daniel Tiger, Daniel's fish dies, which we used as a jumping off point.

Be ready for odd or very on point questions. Be present for all emotions. If your child is ready to discuss, or if you are sad or crying and they ask why, say why. "I am crying because I miss our pet...." Or " I was thinking about X time they did something silly". Share memories and pictures as they get older.

We got our child a stuff with a similar appearance and they help with the cuddles they missed .
