THAT's the exact part. I was like damn I'm just trying to distract my idiot nephews with this show, not get punched emotionally
I am debilitatingly tired and sad that I don't know why my 11-month-old is waking up screaming every two hours
My son turned 5 this past weekend. One of the things I didn't anticipate being hard is him getting older than characters in the show because we started watching when he was around 2. He still likes watching it sometimes, but it seems like he's already more interested in other things. Kids growing up is simultaneously the best and worst thing to ever happen.
my 3-year old was sick on and off for most of last week and he was home 4 out of 5 days from daycare. He's fine now but is learning that being sick means he gets to stay home, so he told me twice this morning that his stomach wasn't feeling good, when I asked what kind of sick it felt like he said "it feels like I need to stay home for two days"
“I need to stay home and go to the doctor” “You know if we go to the doctor we have to lay in bed and can’t play right?” “……….take me to school”
My son is the opposite, and gets so bummed out when he has to miss something because he's sick. It sucks to watch.
Yeah, doesn't seem to be a lot of ear tugging or anything but his top teeth are coming in, so maybe tonight we'll give him some pre-emptive Tylenol and see what happens.
Late reply to this, but the lego shit my 6 year old has gotten into is so much more intense and detailed than what I remember from the sets when I was a kid.
Mine just got into it as well and yeah there are some...insane things out there lol. I've done parts of them with him to help him out and it's crazy how many different pieces and how intricate it all is. I just had to order a replacement piece for the Piranha Plant set because it was missing one tiny two square flat piece lol.
The Lego prices are out of control, too. Some of these sets are hundreds and hundreds of dollars. My son is 11 now and still loves putting together the larger sets. My wife, son and daughter just put together the Friends' Central Perk set.
It's been so hard not to buy some of them even though I hadn't built legos in years and my so nwasn't into it until this past month or two. He loves LOTR and the Balrog, so I did cave and buy the Balrog set for him, but am holding off on giving it to him because it'll be by far the biggest one's done
Nothing like the holy trinity of a disturbed night - fell asleep an hour later than normal, during night wake up, 545am rise. Bring on the coffee.
Family away to visit wife's family for 6 nights. Weird how unadjusted to silence and free time one becomes.
My wife felt a little nausea a few days back, then two days ago my 13 month old started puking and shitting constantly. Luckily he didn’t need to go to hospital dehydration, but he’s been in pretty rough shape the last two days. Sadly, now it’s my turn. Ate dinner tonight and have now been at the toilet twice in the 4 hours since. Feel fucking awful. And 2nd time I’ve had the stomach bug in 13 months now
My wife got it first and then I had the following day. Was only 24 hours at least. Skipped a day, got my son, and then my daughter puked for the first time tonight
I've got a busy weekend during which it'll be convenient but already a little bored in between plans. Although I currently have Rage Against The Machine playing across all household speakers which would not normally fly.
so for those of you with multiple children, did you begin your parenting journey knowing how many kids you wanted beforehand? If you only had one, was there a point when you realized you wanted more? Or did it happen accidentally? We were pretty set on just having the one but as the years have gone by my wife has gradually gone from 'maybe we could have another' to crying as she's going through our daughter's clothes and taking things out that are too small but not wanting to throw them away because what if we have another? I was always fine with one, but I see how much she wants another kid and she says she never envisioned herself with just one. She grew up with one sister and both her parents have already passed; she's mentioned that she couldn't imagine going through that as an only child and wouldn't wish it on our daughter. idk my reasons for not wanting another range from practical (finances) to selfish (it's hard lol). I have three siblings myself and I guess I also can't imagine being an only child. Our daughter just turned 4 and I'm 37 while my wife is 33 so she feels the clock ticking on her part just rambling here
