But you do have to wait about a week until your kids have completely lost interest in their pets. 1 hour ago, tshile said: So basically my kids just watch videos like that and after several weeks/months it’s turned into we must get a hamster 🤷♂️ That video is bull****. At the first cardboard obstacle the hamster would have just shredded the entire set up. And crapped everywhere as he made his escape, including chewing up any new carpet and expensive furniture he could find as he exited the building.

Renegade7 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Is this a safe place to admit I made a hamster tunnel for my kids for my entertainment as much as their's? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the hamster/mice maze science project twice in middle school. Made the maze out of wood not cardboard but what you described were my exact findings. 💩 🧑🔬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the "Now that you're 18, let me explain what that means for you legally and responsibility wise" talk. I did that with my daughter and it worked wonders. She's a productive, responsible, and I think a better mother than I was, she's 44 now. Sometimes you get surprised too. Today I'm celebrating my birthday (this past Wednesday) with her and my granddaughter. There's a food truck park near her house that we've been wanting to try. Perfect for my current situation of staying away from people as much as possible. And since we're still experiencing 90 degree weather, we can go back to her place to eat! Yay!

Llevron Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I wanted to let let y’all know I feel like you lied to me. The baby won’t sleep now. It was all good when we could swaddle her…..but now that she can roll over we ain’t allowed to do that. So all the advice y’all gave me to get her to sleep; while it worked…..I can’t use it anymore. when I discovered this the first thing through my mind was “**** *multiple of you*” like I said I feel lied to. I told the pediatrician and everything. He laughed at me. Told me to pray.

She isn’t sleeping but we have a few plans we are trying to get her down. She’s just a feisty little thing. Self soothing is not happening yet cause she’s too busy being mad….but I’m noticing she’s getting better. Just not successful.

EDIT I AINT ****ING SLEPT IN 2 WEEKS this was a bad joke my bad We didn't lie to you, kids grow and change, that's not fine print : ) We have a electric swinging chair and good ol fashIon rocking chair, a lot of things can add up to help with that. My kids are pacers, so holding them to my chest so they can hear my heart beat while I walk around using other hand for phone helps. The backend of breastmilk is evolutionary designed to be essentially knockout juice. Be open to letting them cry it out once you've checked stuff of the list for why they are still crying when you put them in their crib and turn all the lights out. Tummy time before bed to get them tired helps, too. As much light as possible during the day and little as possible at night to get them used to day-night cycles. It takes time, you got this : ) 1 hour ago, Llevron said: I was very drunk and mostly joking (which I notice now didn’t come through well) in my first post so it’s all good.

So we will keep working on it Fair, ours didn't immediately figure it out, either, jus keep making sure their hands are free and if neccesary stick their hand in their mouth for them (if you have to calm them down a little bit first, so be it). Jus get them into the habit of knowing that's an option until they do it themselves (both our kids hated pacifiers, didn't want to gove them one anyway) Edited September 26, 2022 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro tip - you master it and don’t let your wife touch the baby she’ll **** it all up. 2) put baby in carseat 3) drive around for 30 minutes, find a route with few stops, put on appropriate music 4) go home and put skill learned in step 1 to use. there’s value in letting it self sooth. There’s also value in you keeping your sanity. Balance them best you can. and remember everything is just a phase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
