Mongostein, in Its quiet around here dads

Not a dad, but a school bus driver. I had a kid lose her marbles.

We found them we I hit the breaks.

postgeographix,

I have only ever heard of people 'losing their marbles' figuratively, until this

Played with a knife then she got mad at me for taking it from her. Then got even more mad when I tried to explain to her why it's dangerous. She's 3 years old

Steak,

sounds about right

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

1 shiny pound coin.

It’s a bit stingy but we will usually add it to some other money to get a cheapo toy.

I can relate with your kid, I've just yelled why over and over when I hurt myself at times.

$5 here. The last one (like last, last) was $20. https://lemmy.world/post/75069

GrindingGears, in 10-year old lost her last baby tooth and I'm a mess.

Is it raining in here? I think it's raining in here...

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?

Kurt,
@Kurt@lemmy.one avatar

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

@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).

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.”

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

pampoon, in Me: Literally anything. Almost 2 year old daughter:
@pampoon@lemmy.world avatar

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.

howdy,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

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.
