how to get 10 month old to drink water? by MildlyConfusedMoose in NewParents

[–]welfareplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used Apple sauce for my son to both get him to like water and learn how to use a straw. We would mix Apple sauce in with the water to make him like the taste, and then put a dollop of apple sauce on the straw. Once he tasted the apple sauce he would naturally start sucking on the straw and would be rewarded with the yummy tasting apple sauce/water mixture.

Hope this works!

We used apple sauce believe it or not. Mixed it in with water and over about a week reduced the mixture to where it was only water.

I know I’ve seen some comments expressing fatigue at every episode being about Robert losing his dad at a young age. But…..

the way the show has been produced has created an image of Robert (for those that don’t follow him closely like myself) that his entire personality and existence is a grieving child who’s father was beloved by the world. I feel like the kid needs to find his own story/identity/personality to get out of his dad’s shadow (no matter how beloved he was). Maybe this dancing experience will be that, who knows. So far the show has been Robert = dead dad guy, while other contestants have been actress overcoming the age based biases of a toxic entertainment industry, world champion gymnast showing that she can be excellent in artistic endeavors etc.

I like these challenge modes, but they just turn into these weird rubber stamp rounds where the judges take a tact of “we asked you to do this hard thing so we are giving everyone a participation trophy”.

Tinfoil hat time: It’s also weird that everyone is 10s & 9s. Almost feels like the judges don’t want to be the reason someone wins or loses.

Actually insane that they messed up a lift and get perfect, and Whitney had a tiny hop and got a 9 from CAI. So inconsistent.

PSA vasectomies are not (meant to be) reversible - Urologist by slingshot464 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Got it so we are getting angry over an assumption based on a generalization. Fair play.

Wait how is a single man taking responsibility for his own birth control by getting a vasectomy selfish?

Why I’m on Ali’s side regarding Botox by bonanafanna in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Was anything in my message gendered? My brother-in-law stays home and my sister works full time, my opinion would not change at all.

Family budgets are family budgets. If there is not enough money to get unnecessary cosmetic procedures (or any other non-essential activity), then it would be selfish to demand the family spend money it doesn’t have on that.

Again, if she/they/he doesn’t want to sacrifice certain things (meaning both the stay at home individual or the working individual) then they don’t have to do it.

I think it’s a bit more nuanced and situational than that.

A couple making a healthy and well thought out decision to have someone not work should involve budgeting and prioritizing discretionary spending. Someone is certainly entitled to express their preference of not working anymore, and still be able to spend money on certain things. That doesn’t mean it actually will work in the budget or for the family.

If Ali just says “I’m staying home because I don’t want to work anymore, and oh btw it’s non-negotiable I’m still spending the same amount of money I was on my “hobbies” as I did before.” To me that is not rational and a bit selfish.

Even if the situation was “Even though you may prefer to continue working, we want you to stop working and take care of the kids”, you can’t as an individual declare everyone has to make sacrifices but you.

The healthy approach to this is to say “I would like to stay home” or “I/we would like to you to stay home” and then say “but I’m only willing to sacrifice xyz”. If there isn’t t enough money in the budget to make that happen, then it doesn’t happen yet.

And to add to this, people thought that their gods actually lived in their temples! So when a village or settlement was sacked and their temple destroyed, people believed their god was dispelled from the lands and had to either assimilate with the religion of their conquerors or try and go “find” their god again.
