kitten emergency posted:gotta say it was kinda funny to watch the kid vomit up a fountain of milk on my wife yesterday. I assume it'll be less funny when it happens to me. when my oldest was like 1 she got a stomach bug and, while i was leaned over her getting her redressed and quietly talking to her, she projectile vomited right into my open mouth and all over the bed ofc ~12 hours later i had it coming outta both ends, turns out that's quite an effective method of transmission also grats, stock up on caffeine and gatorade oh and make sure your car seat is installed correctly, sometimes it can be a pain in the rear end. your local fire department can actually help with this, sometimes they'll even do like a saturday where they'll invite the public to come by for fittings and will give out free seats and stuff

shoeberto posted:So I'm curious, what specifically is it about weekends that are non-relaxing after having a kid? My boss had mentioned that as well with his kids (ranged like 9-12 iirc), like he said he just has no weekends now. Is it just that they need your undivided attention? Catching up on household chores? All of the above? Basically you don't get to sleep in ever again and kids don't "relax", they are either doing something fun and interesting or they're annoyed and miserable At 2 1/2 my lad will now sit and watch tv for like 30 mins and it just now feels like we're living together as opposed to being a source of food and entertainment only

reminder :your kids become you so if you want combative kids who huff and puff and get pissed off easily and talk back then just do what most parents do and treat your kids without respect bonus points if you get pissed off at them coz they make a mess in the kitchen, and then clean it up yourself. the lesson in that scenario is priceless

some people think that I can only manage to parent my kids without yelling or getting angry because magically I was blessed with respectful kids but it’s kind of the other way around. the last time I raised my voice was well over a year ago, and while it kind of worked at the time it also made my kids upset, and there’s simply no way that that can be helpful. making people feel bad about something is a terrible motivator to improve over time. also another life lesson is to never hold back on affection. my 12yo starts what you’d called junior high next year and he still cuddles into me on the bad while i tolerate a mr beast mine craft video that him and my 10yo want to watch mr beast has a horrible moustache jesus christ

here's a tip: don't pick a song you like to sing to get them to sleep because you'll be unable to think of another one, sing it over and over and get sick of it and then it'll be ruined to youkitten emergency posted:there’s a reason we haven’t painted yet I spotted a weird mark on the wall and yep it was vomit and it's strangely hard to get the stain off. carpets aren't too bad though, cat barf is way worse.

I've even had the joy of cleaning up when my dog had a diarrhea accident at some point after kicking off my roomba. My biggest fear is just this hypothetical scenario where all of em (2 dogs 3 cats) including the baby just start blasting out all orifices simultaneously. I just know it's gonna happen, and the dogs are gonna try to eat it before I can clean it up.

went to the beach, babby managed to lean forward and fall out of the pram due to not having been strapped back in,landed on head,covered in sand, tears, panic, no damage. that's definitely the first "oh poo poo she can do that", and probably not the last edit: it was not me who put her back in without restraining her, and you bet I fully buckled her in when I had to put her in the car seat for all of 30 seconds while I put the stroller away and needed both hands.
