I tell myself this would be less frustrating if the kid wasn’t on oxygen and this fuckin o2 monitor so schlepping her around makes me look like a fuckin tier 1 operator

I just walked her around the neighborhood wearing like 30lbs of kit between my backpack, the oxygen tank, the monitor, the baby Bjorn, and the kid. even better if I stopped moving at any point while strapping all of this on she went apocleptic

yeah sometimes i would walk around the block for like an hour just to keep the boy asleep. I'd get the wife to leave a cup of coffee on the fence and i'd pick it up like a marathon runner.

my son brought these home today, i thought it was pretty cool. at school (3rd grade) they did this arts and crafts stuff, then they packaged it all up and made labels and all like it was going in a store. it's really cool, it's got like character names, instructions, safety warnings, prices, all that crap. it's way cooler than what i was doing in arts and crafts in elementary school. these are a couple little dudes:  here's the label for another one with the warning, instructions and all that stuff:

Huh all I get from mine is turds. Currently she's teething so the day is 50% blowing raspberries and drooling, and 50% angry complaining. haven't done sleep training but (teething aside) she's pretty good and only wakes maybe 2 times a night on average?

yeah, something to remember about the promise of early sleep training (4-6 months) is that teething begins around 6 months too. unless you're relatively lucky you may be building on foundations of clay lol

When i was home with kid1 he’d never nap in his bed, so i just went for rides with him in a car seat mounted on my cargo bike. He’d cry and cry and cry as we got ready, then he’d sleep within 5mn of wheels turning.

I had some young parents come in recently ask what else they could do for their teething child and I told them “suck it up” lol. of course I did it nicely, but basically pointed out that teething sucks for parents but kids forget it and it’s just a thing to get thru see dealing with teething? I would far rather that than dealing with the reality that my 12yo is spending long time in the bathroom and is he mega constipated? or??? and I really don’t know how to deal with looming issue of internet porn. I bought this up on the discord and the consensus was just leave it and try to raise them to not be hosed up, but I don’t necessary think it’s ok to just expose your mind to anything and everything. yeah I’d rather deal with teething

we got pretty lucky w/r/t teething because ours came out with a decent amount of teeth already and never really fussed about the next ones coming in. I think maybe two of her teeth were bad enough to be noticeable
