Perdendosi, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?
@Perdendosi@lemmy.world avatar

It depends on how many small bills the tooth fairy happens to have on him at the relevant night. I'm only a little ashamed in admitting that, one day when only $20s were in the wallet, I may have snuck into the LO's room, grabbed a couple of singles from her piggy bank, and then had the tooth fairy give her those (supplementing later, of course).

DJ Khaled meme:

"Congratulations, you paid yourself"

Fokker, in Tantrum free weekend

Congratulations! And don't forget to commend him and tell him how great it was that there were no arguments, and if he felt the same? High five, and be ready for more ups and downs. ;)

Embarrassed to admit that I am drawing a blank, but now I'm reminded of r/DanielTigerConspiracy. Has anyone spun up a version of that on here yet?

36goingon100,

Don't know that one. TLDR?

It's a subreddit where people would share and discuss non-canon lore for various children's media. I remember a post where we speculated on the religion(s) observed in Danial Tiger, for example. (There is no god but Trolly.)

soybeanscheesesticks,

Ooh yeah that's a classic, I haven't seen a version of that one here

Next word is "why", where reasoning with a toddler will drive you to drink every night after they are asleep. lol

Moonrise2473,

Luckily in my language "why" is a 3 syllable word that's harder to say

Its just me and you beer fridge old buddy.

Sprite_tm,

As they say, generally a repeated 'why' is not out of pure interest, it's a bit for attention. After a few of those, feel free to give nonsense answers.

JustAnAverageDude, in Me: Literally anything. Almost 2 year old daughter:

I’m at this stage with my daughter as well. She says a very clear and confident “no” to everything, even the things she wants.

“Want to go for a walk?” “No” (proceeds to find her shoes)

I am starting to respond to her positive actions with “but you said no. Are you changing your mind?” - if her answer is still no I hold her to it.

howdy,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

Yep.. Exactly where I am. She is so darn cute but it can be frustrating at times for her and me. She just can't express herself fully yet... even though her mind is.

faiora, in Me: Literally anything. Almost 2 year old daughter:

My three year old doesn’t bother with “no” most of the time, he just screams.

Or sometimes I get “NO I DO IT.”

howdy,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

Man, the independent streak lasts huh? My daughter wants to do everything herself already! Also, that sounds cute to me but at the same time I totally know for you as the parent dealing with it...

Rhs519, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

We do something a bit different. Rather than cash, we get a small toy and wrap it up. (Still in the $2-$5 range).

Still slip it under the pillow.

It’s fun to watch them unwrap it. 3 kids deep, and no one has asked why our tooth fairy does it different.

faiora, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

What… I thought a twoonie was generous! You guys are all crazier than I am.

lebeauc, in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

$5 a tooth, although I'm a little cheap and this was 8 to 10 years ago. Probably up to $50 a tooth now with the recent inflation 😁

breakerfall, in Thank you!

Same here. Just made my first post!

Vex_Detrause, in Complaining

Acknowledge their concern first then tell them either “I’ll do it youre way”, “Let’s compromise” or pound sand in the nicest way you can. I get more success with above but I deal with clients. Most of it is them wanting to be heard.
