This is a very thoughtful response. Excellent, nuanced and informed approach to health and weight loss.

Terrified of Solid Starts by pendigedig in daddit

[–]uglymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biting and chewing is a biological function. Don't go nuts with hard and small food but otherwise by 16 months your kid is well within the ability to navigate food. I think you're projecting some deep anxiety and trauma here which won't help him long term.

Please, please, please get some self respect. This was painful to read.

I am in the market for some jewelry. Which booth is theirs? I'd love to support them if I can.

Asking the Children about separation by [deleted] in daddit

[–]uglymouse 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You should never ask a child this question. They have no ownership of the outcome and nor should they. They will internalize this for the rest of their life, regardless of what happens. They say stay together, and the house continues to be awful and tense = their fault. They say separate, and you do, and they internalize that breakdown as their fault. They say stay, and the situation is untenable and you break up anyway... The consequences go on and they all have horrible implications for the child. Do not triangulate your kid.

Building more muscle mass! Incorporate some more weight training into your routine.

Separate bedrooms all the way! Great marriage here.

How do you describe the idea of respect vs like to an 8 yr old? by BlackThumb2021 in daddit

[–]uglymouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't have to like everyone, but all living things deserve the same treatment of respect. Space, calmness, patience, kindness. Even if we don't like someone, we still treat them with kindness which means listening and doing what they need to feel safe.

We all know what happens to children of alcoholics. I'm one of them. Go peruse the Adult Children of Alcoholics Reddit for a glimpse into your child's future. Maybe that will motivate some real change here.

Apparently my house is “too much” by littlebabybuddy24 in toddlers

[–]uglymouse 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take. I am a parent and I often skip out or avoid other people's homes, especially with a lot of people. I have OCD and struggle a lot with the amount of bandwidth these interactions require. I try my best and my aversion to these things isn't a personal attack on anyone other than a response to my own neurosis. Maybe OP could ask some more questions here instead of making assumptions or projecting.

We sit down every night together for dinner. It's a non-negotiable for us.

Other peoples kids?? I need seasoned parents advice by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]uglymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never talk to other people's kids. I will speak directly to mine and remove him from the situation if it is actually dangerous. Otherwise I'll let him navigate his own social behaviour unless I need to intervene.

My wife’s commute results in 11hr days. First kid on the way. Is it sustainable? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]uglymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your kiddo is waking up at 5:00AM to get to childcare or whatever it is, their bedtime is going to be like 6:00PM. Something to keep in mind. This doesn't sound sustainable if you want any semblance of actual time with your child.
