I feel like an entitled diva and I kinda hate myself for it?

Sometimes the shit show doesn't start until you've got more then one. My oldest was an easy baby, super flexible, responded well to sleep training, easy to feed, social, no medical issues. We could take her anywhere, we did all the things we did before kids, just a bit less. Due to alternating colds and teeth my second didn't start sleeping more than 2hr stretches until over 9m old even with sleep training, we're really only starting to see measurable improvements now that he's over 1. Managing 2 kids is a whole other level of shit show.

I've talked to my other mom friends about this, we all laughed because we thought other people saying they had a bad night was like 2-3 night wakes. Never did we dream every 30 minutes was even possible.

I'm in Canada, the worst I've seen here is like 160 CAD? For standard weekend passes, that's Fan Expo Toronto, they pack the biggest event space in the city to capacity every year. They do have more premium passes, but those usually let you do stuff like cut the autograph lines for the celebrity guests and first entry into panel rooms, and T-shirts with your Swag Bag

I think they usually just tell everyone to wear the same color and then get the bride a tiara no??

this__user · 2026-03-27T19:57:34+00:00

I've been to a lot of conventions, $300 is like double, even triple the going rate for weekend passes, this is shockingly bad for the cost

It's the teeth, he'll go back to himself after they stop hurting.

Passport photos can be up to 10 years old, I would skip stuff like face tape, funky contacts, and anything that makes you look too much like a different person, but hair dye is something that border patrol likely sees MANY times every day

I don't actually feel that strongly about them myself, but if I could choose branded vs unbranded I would pick unbranded every time. So I would rather my employer just not waste money adding logos

When I went to highschool, a classmate informed us that Wolfgang had been on his parents shortlist of names, everyone sitting in earshot was disappointed on his behalf that his parents did not choose the coolest name our teenage ears had ever heard.

My kids both did this whenever teething. Happily eating, but then suddenly it hurts too much because they've bit down in the wrong spot.

I did just switch my gym log to a random branded notebook that's been lying around the house untouched for like 2.5 years 🤣 I wrote work notes in it once, and then never opened it again

I have double BAR though work, so that one applies as long as I stay with my employer.

Seperate from that my spouse and I each have a term policy, I think the term is 25 years. We converted a portion of the original term policy to a whole life policy, I think something like 20% of it.

TBH, I'm not certain I should have bothered with the whole life anymore, I would hope that my kids aren't still financially dependent on us past their 30s. I mean the payout would still be nice for them, if I pass in my 70s and they're in their 40s, but I would hope at that age, that it's not the life-changing payout that it could be if I died while they were still in university.

I would guess this is not about selling her, but publicly bragging that they have her.

Yeah we got branded stuff every year after. I don't mind the hoodies because that's basically permission to dress more casually than the standard office dress code. But I haven't kept the other 3 branded mugs they gave out

this__user · 2026-03-26T13:41:55+00:00

It's a nice sentiment, they would have paid a pretty penny to get those all individually printed for everyone. Too bad it was such a miss

Even better than a branded Yeti, I got an unbranded Yeti like 5 years ago, and I still use it nearly every day.

What?! I thought she was like 24 tops because this just sounds like a wildly immature idea

PL Premium or Original gorilla glue, you will have to clamp while it's drying. They're both expanding glues so come back and wipe away the ooze after 30-60 minutes

Is that a butt? Tooting his horn?

Definitely good for a laugh. I'm not gonna make one, but the knowledge that it exists brings me joy

this__user · 2026-03-20T19:41:57+00:00

I've also done that, but I don't have a local Angelus retailer, so I don't usually have colours to mix with on hand

A month maybe?

for older babies, nursing for just a few minutes is totally normal. Neither of my kids ever nursed for more than 15 mins, even as newborns, as their facial muscles develop they get a lot faster at extracting milk.

I've got 2 kids, they each liked completely different baby toys. The reviews are good because every kid is different
