Absolutely, it was the best most positive place on Reddit. We need to keep it going forward.

sulcras,

I loved how even moms appeared there somtimes. No one felt excluded. Great community and it's how I found out about Bluey too.

Oh for sure, and mommit wasn't the most understanding place so a lot of them just hung out with us Dad's lol.

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.

williamallenbro, in Complaining

I'm a person who likes to fix. Sometimes that's not what my wife wants, though, she just wants to vent and be heard. I've learned to ask if she wants to be heard or if she wants me to offer solutions and that has really helped. I've started to apply this to other people in my life as well.

WiseThat,

This one has been revolutionary for me, not everything needs to be solved. Honestly, on my end making it clear when I'm 'venting at you' vs when I 'want advice' has been great.

breakerfall,

Same wife experience here. Why anyone would tell me a problem without expecting at least an offer to fix it is still beyond me, though.

breakerfall, in Thank you!

Same here. Just made my first post!

I'm pretty bad at tipping, I usually give too much so I don't know I just shove $20 and hope for the best lol.

ehxor,

Wow! $20! That just made me go look up how many baby teeth kids lose: 20. So you're in for $400

grahamj,

But that's 400 you won't have to spend on whatever they spend it on ;)

We went down this route, and it’s one of my big regrets. Was AU$2 a tooth and a wish, which started as an easy and cheap soft toy (think a couple of bucks max). But it’s turned into $2/tooth cumulative, ie. Tooth 10 gets $20, tooth 11 gets $22 etc, and a wish… Cue late night runs to Kmart and lots of grumbling about why we are doing this.

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 😁

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

Bluey seems to have set the going rate to 5 Dollarbucks

ehxor,

That seems like a reasonable amount to me - enough to get a little treat or what-not, but not enough to destabilise the economy

surewhynotlem,

What's the conversion rate from Dollarbucks to Dollary-do's?

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.

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

I did $5 for the first one ever, however, weeks later she had a meltdown and demanded that the tooth fairy return the tooth. She even tried to put the $5 back under her pillow🤣.

Our tooth fairy leaves $5 bill origami. Last tooth had a $5 ring left in it's place by morning.

Intrepid_Corvid,
@Intrepid_Corvid@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

I love the origami idea!

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

When I was younger it was 2$ so by today standards according to inflation statistic it would be around 3$

grahamj,

No but covid supply chain issues so $80

Same. My daughter is a week shy of 18 months, and has fully progressed past the stage of saying YES! to everything excitedly. Now it’s noooo for everything. Makes putting her in the car seat in the crowded grocery store parking lot a nice treat.

Mine is 21 months. She is almost all day just going going going! She grabs my shirt to get me to stand up and go wherever she wants to go. Her new thing is she likes hanging out in her room but only if mom or dad also are in there with her. It’s a lot of fun right now but a lot.

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.

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

howdy,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

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.

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

Mines the same age, doing the same thing xD. She's looking for some control. I usually give her the illusion of control by giving her two options, don't want to get dressed? "Would you like to wear your yellow dress or your red dress today?" Same with food, works for me.

howdy,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

I’m gonna try that tomorrow. Especially with food. She has been a mess trying to get her to eat lately. She was a late walker, didn’t start walking till 19 months and almost like a light switch once she started walking. Eating wasn’t in the priority anymore. It’s going wherever and doing whatever!

Yes, 100% its like “I have freedom now” I can walk! I can sorta express myself!
