whoever decided that cribs should be assembled with the worlds flimsiest Allen wrench should be trapped in a weird saw situation where they need to escape armed only with a tiny Allen wrench and one of those stamped wrenches made of aluminum

just lol if you don't have 1000+ hex keys at this point from all the flat pack furniture you've put together. pretty sure it's prep work for parenting.

the ikea crib is held together with really long bolts, you're not gonna overtighten it really my only complaint about it is that the mattress wears out after a couple years; you've gotta replace it for childe #2

Cheap. even the main parts of it that were more sturdy had dire warning about not over torquing the bolts

kinda figured this belongs here rather than in hellworldquote:TAL AL-HAWA, Gaza Strip — On Tuesday night, my wife, six children and I huddled in the living room of our apartment, the place least likely to take a stray hit from Israeli missiles or the debris they scatter. We were watching Al Jazeera’s livestreaming of Israeli warplanes’ imminent destruction of al-Jawharah (The Gem), one of Gaza’s largest buildings, when the power went out.

have you ever done the old "run and cry"? it's legit great for your mood. early morning works, but around bedtime is best imho if you have a therapist they'll probably speak highly of it, even in lieu of antidepressants
