I’m afraid to ask what toenail fairy leaves in return. Chicken gizzards? Centipedes?

“Mama, mermaids don’t have dingles.” Kid I don’t really know what to say to that. E: the older sibling then chimed in that they pee out their butts in their tails, so I guess that’s settled BadSamaritan fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Dec 13, 2023 |

I was gonna make a joke about mermaids having a cloaca, but then I started fact checking myself on Google and now my search history is all about fish buttholes. The rest of you are gonna have to live with this shame with me.

2.5yo isn’t feeling great, I had to lay him down in his crib ten times tonight before he actually stayed asleep. 4.5yo napped at daycare so getting her to fall asleep took well over an hour. Total bedtime tonight was 2h20min. It has been rough lately even when they are feeling well. In June-ish there was a few weeks where they both were sleeping through the night, and I loathe that I had that taste of the good life, only to have it disappear competently. Someone recently posted about how quality of life would be 100% better if the kids would sleep, and I 100% agree. My boyfriend is trying to help out with bedtime, he’s gotten my son down a few times but my daughter needs me to do it. That’s totally fine, but it’s nice to have someone who wants to help and can at least do one of the bed times every now and then. The other night he was trying to do some guided imagery with my daughter, and they were picturing a tree on a sunny day and slowly zooming in, there was an ant on the tree that went back to it’s ant hill, and my daughter chimes in, “Then I squished all the ants because I hate them! They are fire ants and they were trying to sting me!” Then she started to list all the facts she knows about fire ants.

Lmao we don't deserve toddlers. Greetings middle of the night crew. Tonight was the first night I managed to get babby into the bassinet and I was able to get a good solid 2.5 hours of sleep. Then I got woken up to my older son crying next to me. He came into my bed next to me and then peed in his sleep. This is his first accident of this magnitude in months, he's usually pretty good with accidents. So I get him cleaned up, lay back down in the bed, and like clockwork the little one starts crying. That's fair, he was due for a bottle anyway. Little one cried so hard he made himself congested so he refused the bottle because he couldn't breathe. So I shot him with saline which worked but then he fell asleep and won't take the bottle again. No point in going back to bed until he takes this drat thing though. But I got that 2.5 hours so tonight's a huge success, right?

Upthread there was talk about a white noise/color coded night light and I think I've concluded it was the Hatch. Sadly that is only available in the continental US - anything similar available in Europe?

Sadly that is only available in the continental US - anything similar available in Europe? Most of those fancy color-changing, bluetooth-enabled LED lightbulbs have the ability to set schedules via a phone app, so you could just go with a normal desk lamp and that. It wouldn't have the white noise feature, obviously, but if you're just doing it for wake up time it might work. Phillips is the trustworthy brand here, not sure in Europe.

My (then) four year old has never been as enormous as when he walked into the hospital room to see his newborn sister for the first time. Hands, feet, head. We’d been separated for like 36 hours and I swear he had grown by 20%.

No idea if it's complete trash or not, but at least it's sold on Babymarkt which has multiple webshops in different European countries.

I had one recently where I cooked my baby for dinner. Carved him at the table like a chicken. Kinda funny in hindsight but I was hosed for the whole day. The worst part with the dream is that I didn't even want baby for dinner that night. I was just going through the motions of making dinner because maybe I'll be hungry when it's done but then I wasn't and the food went to waste.

Dude you’re not my boss, this isn’t a restaurant, there’s no menu. You eat babies all the time. After 5 minutes of whining about candy they finally start eating and remember it’s their favorite.

Just not worth the effort to do it fresh for some poo poo who won't appreciate it.

Listen, random dude at the office holiday party, if you didn't want to see a picture of a baby with an impressive snot bubble, you shouldn't have been in the vicinity of people asking for baby pictures. But seriously, that thing was half the size of her head.
