We're going to bed an hour early tonight. I've already set the clocks ahead and we skipped the nap for the little one to help make sure he goes down. I hate daylight savings time it's such loving bullshit.

Daylight saving time is superior to standard time, it's the switch that sucks. Just transition to test round DST and be done with it forever.

watched The Sandlot with my kids and they actually sat through the whole thing and loved it.

had a few side-conversations about consent (like you do with movies from the 90s) but overall it's fine.

Yeah my Kindergartner had homework that we gave her so she didn't feel left out when the older kids were being forced to do their homework.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Proud of myself for handling a situation

Daughter trailed off during an activity because she was thinking about a bad dream she had involving bears. Apparently she has them a lot. By the end of the chat we had about bears viz. them being just as scared of you as you are of them etc etc she was talking about how she could fight at least five bears at once, scare them away by bouncing her ball at them and so on. I dunno if it's just false bravado but at least for the time being she seems convinced that bears are nature's biggest pussies. Hopefully that helps with the nightmares

my daughter (15 months) is in many ways the perfect baby: she naps, she sleeps all night, goes to sleep on her own, almost never fussy, smiles a lot. except. boy does she hate diaper changes. it's a huge ordeal, one of us has to hold her down while the other one cleans her up, and it takes her like 20 minutes to calm down. agony.

i hope everyone is coping with spring forward today.

pretty much same except mine is about 8 months older. it's not quite so bad on the diaper change but man oh man can it be hard to get her to chill for 30 seconds.

i guess one silver lining about the ongoing nap at dayacare/10-11 pm bedtime thing we are enduring with my son is that the time change sleep and bedtime disruption, being only an hour, is surely going to be milder than what happens every weekday lol

My oldest hated diaper changes too, until we found out that he's a gigantic coward and afraid of heights. So instead of him being on a table, we put him on the floor, and he was okay with it again. Might be worth a shot?

i'd change wipes and assume there's some kind of rash thats making it painful

also if you get dry wipes and wet them with warm water it feels better than a cold wipe

Tom Cotton is the big hold up.

They snuck a bill past him (Rubio and some other folks) Pelosi passed it in the house to make DST permanent, only for Biden to not sign it because decorum.

two things that we found to help a lot:

1) keep a set of small “high value” (blinker lights and sound) toys near the changing table that only come out during diaper time.

2) explaining to our guy that we’re going to change his diaper and otherwise narrating the whole process and asking him to help

Oh yeah when you know your kid is going to hate something you gotta plant the seed 20 minutes early and water it constantly so it doesn't come as so much a shock when they finally have to get changed /leave the house /go to goddamn bed

My son (10 months old) doesn't hate changing per se but he has reached the stage where he hates having to lie still long enough to do it. Gotta give him something to play with (either a toy or the clothes you're changing him into) or he's gonna just, like, get up and leave in the middle of it

my wife and I developed a system where you'd lay kiddo out on a changing mat on the floor and then you'd sit perpendicular to them with one leg stretched out across their chest for restraint leaving both your hands free to contend with the crime scene. The drawback is that your child will eventually learn and develop powerful wrestling ground game from this and become an unstoppable champion

also if you kid doesn’t hate the thing and they have a good experience shut up about it or limit your positive reinforcement to a bare minimum or the kid will announce they actually hate it .
