it was one of the most brutal things I’ve had to do and I’m still somewhat burned out from it, but now I have a great relationship with my kids and solidified my desire to never go to an office again

the last four weeks off have been tremendous for the burnout issue, but also showed me my wife has it way harder considering she’s scaled her hospital hours down and took over most of the house stuff

keeping a house up is a fuckload of work if both of you are picky about how straightened and clean it is, and it’s legit harder than my real job

Pay for a person to come clean your house its so much easier. I was getting extra bitchy about our house because im a huge clean freak but loving when do you have time/energy to clean, just accepting the expense has made everyone happier.


My biggest complaints these two huge loving dogs but they're so fluffy :3:

We just had all most of our 1 year shots and it was a nothing burger thank god. Pediatrician splits the shots a few months apart because she thinks its excessive and I guess i agree?? Got the last 2 (or 3?) in a few months

like I’d rather take the psychic damage than exploit some lady making minimum wage, but also if she’s getting a fair wage it’d be expensive unless she can clean this place top to bottom in like three or four hours lol

I mean its only exploitation if you are not paying a fair wage? Also they just do the basic poo poo which sounds overpriced but it gives so much piece of mind, our lady is out once a month and finishes in half a day but even that is a huge mental relief. Frees my mind/wallet to deep clean random poo poo without being stressed about spending two hours vacuuming all the time

I guess how much is a fair wage? I’m assuming this is like $300/visit, but maybe I’m just attaching too high of a price to something I’ve always associated with “rich people do this”

obv usd in Cali or nyc or something goes less far than usd in Detroit but I can’t imagine it’d be affordable

$40 / hr seems to be average around here for "professionals", ofc it probably varies quite a lot.

$300 would probably be the cost for a deep clean.

Its not an insignificant amount of money but again, if your a clean freak and you have a small child its so worth it. i guess it depends on how well you can handle it, i was getting super bitchy

ive been making a point to watch older (the classics) disney movies with my toddler and they captivate her so much more than modern kids stuff with cgi, i dunno if its the art style or all the songs or what

We watched alice in wonderland last night and holy poo poo this movie is weirder than anyone remembers.

Check out the PBS kids app PBS has a bunch of good wholesome shows i dont hate my self watching with her and generally have good messages and hold her attention. I couldnt imagine just picking poo poo at random off netflix or youtube.

Rosies Rules and the Alaskan one are cute, and Daniel Tiger is always a hit (its the spiritual successor to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, which is obvious but I didn't notice it until several episodes in).

whew back from the hospital. it was so sad right after his surgery, he was all confused and disorganized. just crying for milk but he couldn’t take it down because of the anesthesia still wearing off. had to stay for 12hrs of observation too. but at least he doesn’t have a hernia anymore.

Glad to hear everything worked out.

My oldest "broke" his leg (bones so soft the x-ray looked like the bendy part of a straw) and the ER put a half cast on it with instructions that he not put any weight on it for four weeks.

I told them he *just* learned how to walk, there's no way I can keep him off it and sure enough the very next morning it just snapped. Fortunately he wasn’t further hurt but we could've done without the extra three hours at a different ER to get a real cast put on. He chose a purple one :)

i wonder where i'm going to end up on the expensive toy spectrum. i'm mostly an anti-consumer so my instinct is to just throw cardboard boxes at the lil dude and maybe a lego set occasionally when he's old enough. but perhaps he will break my will.

you cave and buy an expensive toy and they love it for a day then go back to the cardboard. repeat every 2-3 months

i dont think the kid cared at all but kids will hate something till you do it a couple times then hate it if they DON'T have something. they were definitely cute though despite fears of it being unusual or whatever.

our girl would lose it and throw a fit if she went outside with a hat on and it was a battle to keep it on now she does the opposite and wont go outside without a hat, even for like a few minutes. she pats her head and grunts as a sign she wants to go outside now :3:

venting but is there anything worse than parents ignoring their shithead kids in public spaces? some jackass 7-10 y/o decided it was cool to "help" my 18 mo old up the stairs at the park by just grabbing her from behind heimlich style. my wife was nearby but to shell shocked or embarrassed to say anything the first flight, i had to run across the park and physically grab my daughter out of his arms before he could make it up the second flight (because he was convinced "i can do it its ok")

Jfc, never did see who his parents were

Shifty Pony posted:

no, it is not that one.

tw: another nightmare to have as a parent
it is either the parents mowing the lawn thinking they know exactly where their kid is but turns out that kids can move or trip, or parents letting a tween/teen kid mow the lawn but the kid isn't strong enough to easily maneuver the lawnmower and the mower slips back onto them. this leads to foot and hand mutilations that in the best cases require repeated surgeries and constant physical therapy as the body continues to grow.

This seems extremely unlikely to happen, the issue is rocks etc being tomahawked. How does a lawn mower "slip back onto you" outside of some freak thing?

i was curious and looked up if there were any studies on this topic, https://www.americanjournalofsurgery.com/article/S0002-9610(16)30006-X/fulltext


quote:

The estimated national incidence of lawnmower-related injuries (LMI) is 9,351per year (10.6 LMI per 100,000 children per year; based on the 2010 US Census data). This incidence has remained unchanged for over 2 decades.



The most commonly injured body regions were the hand and/or finger (30.1%), followed by lower extremity (16.8%), and face and/or eye (14.0%).



The leading types of LMIs were laceration (32.9%), followed by soft tissue injury (22.9%), and burn (13.5%).



Amputations (RR: 11.5; 95% CI: 11.00 to 12.10; P < .0001) and fractures (RR: 2.82; 95% CI: 2.64 to 3.00; P < .0001) had the greatest risk of requiring hospitalization.

with this new knowledge i am in agreement, abolish lawns. we must protect these kids.
