10,301 | daddit | Fight on soldier |
10,302 | daddit | I feel you. Mine woke up at 4:17 today and came into my room, ready for the day. "Baba on couch?" "No, buddy. It's still dark out. God isn't even up yet." |
10,303 | daddit | Agh, sorry man. Our toddler loves sleeping in, so feel like I won the jackpot. TBD on our new baby #2... hope he's like his big sister. |
10,304 | daddit | Naw. Mine poops like a couple hours after waking up at 730. Lucky me. I know |
10,305 | daddit | No just to him screaming I GOTTA POOOOOOOOOOOOOP |
10,306 | daddit | Lol reading this at 5:43 after a night poonami |
10,307 | daddit | I feel lucky that mine only poops after we’ve bathed and changed him for bed. I’d deal with that over having my morning routine disrupted. |
10,308 | daddit | Haha on the weekends her light turns green at 7, but shes awake by 530. On weekdays she’s still asleep at 6 when I have to get her ready for daycare… |
10,309 | daddit | 8 to 8 here |
10,310 | daddit | I'm very happy for you but I'm also fighting the urge to lunge at you |
10,311 | daddit | My toddler sleeps from like 10 or 11 PM until 8 AM. Last night it took me until midnight to get our 4 month old asleep (let the wife put the toddler to bed). And I was up at 6 with the 4 month old so my wife and toddler can get some more sleep. I figure I average about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. The plus side is my morning time the 4 month old seems pretty happy on her back or tummy in her play arch next to me so I can play games for a little bit. Unfortunately, next month I'll have to go back to work so these early hours will be spent working so my wife isn't trying to watch two kids for 8 hours straight. |
10,312 | daddit | Me dealing with a congested 5 months old that won't sleep longer than 2 hours for weeks now: "Man I wish that was me" |
10,313 | daddit | Hold up, tell me more about this alarm and how you trained your toddler to respect it. |
10,314 | daddit | You’ll cook your foot, kid. |
10,315 | daddit | Which part did you try? The spray bottle? |
10,316 | daddit | hunker down boys…we’re in for a ride today |
10,317 | daddit | 7:46 am here. Mine almost wake up. Wish me luck. |
10,318 | daddit | Nap time tho |
10,319 | daddit | You got this! The days are long but the years are short! |
10,320 | daddit | I mean…a little 1030am Benadryl never hurt no one …. |
10,321 | daddit | [deleted] |
10,322 | daddit | Absolutely. Even non pregnant wives get naps. |
10,323 | daddit | I am never more Sam Fisher than when I'm up before the kids |
10,324 | daddit | Me today as I put my running shoes on in the pitch black. Toddler: HELLO I HEARD WE’RE UP? |
10,325 | daddit | I woke up early just to have an hour to myself. I used that hour to sleep. |
10,326 | daddit | My now 7 year old has always been a crack o dawn child. “The sun is up so you should be up, Papa!” Kid is lucky I’ve fallen victim to Stockholm syndrome and love her unconditionally. |
10,327 | daddit | God speed, fellow soldier. I just have the one toddler that wakes up at 615. Next time I'll remember you and that I have nothing to complain about. |
10,328 | daddit | Just gonna say bro, it gets better. This morning my 11, 9, and 7 sons got themselves up and fed themselves. I slept in till a luxury 6:45. After I ate I caught up with my sister for an hour while they finished cartoons. After that we took apart an old computer and I explained all the parts. This afternoon the middle one detailed my truck for $10 while the oldest and youngest helped me fill in a hole the damn husky dug in the rocks next to the patio. Now we're getting ice cream. Hang in there. |
10,329 | daddit | Holy shit, good luck with part 2. |
10,330 | daddit | You will be rewarded in your next life |
10,331 | daddit | The more kids the more military time you need with them. Everyone needs baths at the same time, everyone needs to eat at the same time, everyone needs to get dressed at the same time. |
10,332 | daddit | I do this and my oldest will be 2 in a few months. I'm terrified he's going to pick up the habit as well. |
10,333 | daddit | Yeesh, I can’t imagine. My oldest is up at 6 or 6:30 most days (busy stays in their room reading until we get up), and our youngest is up between 7 and 7:30. What time do yours go to bed? |
10,334 | daddit | The landing craft hits the beach, the doors fall open, and someone throws you a baby. |
10,335 | daddit | Jim Gaffigan has an amazing line about what it’s like to have 4 kids: “Imagine you’re drowning and someone hands you a baby” |
10,336 | daddit | I would have never expected I would feel this way as a kid growing up. Not saying its all bad, but it definitely includes constant supervision of a toddler that can't not get into trouble constantly. |
10,337 | daddit | Don’t you dare put that baby in a frozen bath! |
10,338 | daddit | lol @ Frozen just casually dropped in there but everyone knows |
10,339 | daddit | Wow 2 under 2 I bet is a handful. Yea when they are happy playing at daycare or being watched while we are at work it’s a breather |
10,340 | daddit | Yea I feel you. It’s a breather from the constant supervision |
10,341 | daddit | Fucking brutal man. |
10,342 | daddit | You poor bastard. Congratulations. |
10,343 | daddit | I've accepted that the first few years will be tough. At least until they become more independent. The work for us will still be there, no doubt, but the division of responsibility is something I'm looking forward to with 2 kids. |
10,344 | daddit | I’ve had it my whole life too but didn’t get diagnosed until I was nearly 36. Meds could have helped before, but now I just take a very low dose to ward off the anxiety. |
10,345 | daddit | Godspeed and good luck! Not envying you. Lol. |
10,346 | daddit | We always wanted a family so it was always in our plans. And we are having a lot of fun with the one, so it seems right to have another, so she can have a sibling as well. Yes times get tough, but at least for me, the happy and precious moments far outweigh the stressful ones. |
10,347 | daddit | Mainly them fighting with each other. 9 year old girl and 7 year old boy makes them evenly matched. Teaching them to control their emotions and find solutions to their disagreements. Also independently helping them with issues at school. My daughter has an IEP and a slight learning disability and my son is a know it all and mean about it. So yeah trying to keep the peace and make everyone feel heard while teaching them how to act in society especially when they don’t get what the want can be hard |
10,348 | daddit | In time I’m confident it will, thank you. Now hold the line, soldier, this is Bakhmut & you’ve got those Ruskies on the run |
10,349 | daddit | I'm just trying to help. |
10,350 | daddit | Lol |
10,351 | daddit | Lol. The conversation around our house is often, “what food should we make to throw in the trash tonight.” |
10,352 | daddit | We have a dog and a cat |
10,353 | daddit | Yeah dogs and young children don’t mix for so many reasons. Better to wait. |
10,354 | daddit | Ha not even close |
10,355 | daddit | Negative. I’m three fries short of a happy meal. |
10,356 | daddit | Wife and I found out we were pregnant 2 days before picking up our 2nd Aussie, 1st one was only a year older. I now have a 3 year old Aussie, 2 year old Aussie, 18 month old son, and my wife is 14 weeks pregnant. I'm also 2 months away from finishing grad school and have been a full-time student since June 2021 I'm tired |
10,357 | daddit | My dog, a phenomenal Australian Shepherd, got diagnosed with two importable cancers about a month after our baby arrived and we had to say goodbye when her legs stopped working. We waited six or so months but I missed her and her companionship and got an Australian Cattle Dog puppy. Best and worst decision I ever made. |
10,358 | daddit | Congrats and good luck!! |
10,359 | daddit | GOD ISNT UP YET I just died |
10,360 | daddit | that final line ahhahahha |
10,361 | daddit | How old? My 2 year old usually sleeps from 8ish pm to 7-7:30 AM without waking up during the night. Is this unusual? |
10,362 | daddit | My first one took naps like clockwork. The perfect baby. My third kid fights naps like it's his job. He spends all day tired and refuses to nap unless he basically falls over and passes out. Rain machine, blackout curtains, he doesn't care. Almost two and wakes up between 4 and 6 most days. |
10,363 | daddit | Hahahaha no. |
10,364 | daddit | Nah our first was like that too. They kind of trick ya like that haha |
10,365 | daddit | Exact same position here. Most days she wakes up no earlier than 8:30-9. Unless I had a late night… she somehow knows and wakes up extra early on those days. |
10,366 | daddit | My first lulled us into a false sense of security, slept through the night from 5 months and rarely gets up before 7am. The second one is 2 now and begins his day at 5am every day. |
10,367 | daddit | We thought the same thing. They are called sneaker babies because they sneak into your life lol |
10,368 | daddit | Same. Sleeps a solid 9-11 hours depending on the day. She's been like this since she was about 8m old. Now almost 2. My wife and I mention daily how frickin lucky we are. |
10,369 | daddit | I also have a daughter toddler with a son bun in the oven and I’m like, there’s no way these kids are gunna be anything alike. Also, every day I flex muscles in my patience I didn’t know I had and my wife is impressed |
10,370 | daddit | Everyone pays the piper. You're in for a wild ride |
10,371 | daddit | Dude, you should try reducing her caffeine intake. Maybe consider cutting out the after dinner Espressos. |
10,372 | daddit | Ours is 14 months and she's slept through the night fewer times than I can count on my hands Im so tired..... |
10,373 | daddit | We got [this one](https://amzn.eu/d/9wwRRxk). Essentially it is a blue night light that at a particular time of your choosing turns orange and the owl “wakes up”. We put it in with him at about a year ago just before he was 2 (the box suggests not until 3) and made sure it was used every night and we talked about it with him. I also refused to get him out of bed until it changed colour, even going so far as to leave and come back in talking about how it was time to get up now after it had changed if i was already in. Took him until about November to actually get it and respect it consistently. Best decision we ever did after sleep training. |
10,374 | daddit | Will still smell like bacon |
10,375 | daddit | That’s the one! |
10,376 | daddit | Some people may have different experiences than you do? |
10,377 | daddit | "I'm not your mother Wilkes" Wow that quote takes me back. |
10,378 | daddit | First one is still super hard, best advice I got was to remember to ask for help when you need it |
10,379 | daddit | He will. I'm sorry. |
10,380 | daddit | Yeah that's probably half the problem, they are voracious readers and will read until at least 10 PM or do other stuff like crocheting or playing on their cell phones (we do our best to take away electronics by 9 PM). That said, I was playing Fortnite with my 10 year old last night and eventually realized it was midnight. OOPS. |
10,381 | daddit | Not me. I have a 4 month old and need to know what fresh hell awaits me. Enlighten me |
10,382 | daddit | Thanks and you too on the new born. Which I'm assuming you're taking care of right now. Have fun with that! |
10,383 | daddit | Thanks, Dad. Godspeed to you |
10,384 | daddit | It’s a long term investment. I’m still about 18 months away from my kids bein able to entertain each other |
10,385 | daddit | The cat surely isn’t a problem though |
10,386 | daddit | Depends on the dog. Ours learned to be a good dog for our first. Our second though she likes to lick a lot. Guess baby tastes good with the food she smeared on herself earlier. The cats though couldn't handle the change and were told they are now outside only cats. |
10,387 | daddit | He's two. He's about six weeks into his big boy bed so he's still getting used to it. When he was in his crib he'd be the last one up. Today wasn't bad (6:26) but I just never know. His older sister was great. Never had an issue. Slept through the night at 4 months and never looked back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
10,388 | daddit | Same. Say this with nothing but pure love for my child- my second born three an absolute fucking monkey wrench into our lives and we haven’t slept since leaving to the hospital to give birth to him. We’re miserable, dead on our feet (and absolutely in love with our child) but fuck, our easy first born sure seemed to trick us into this, lol (oh and of course, having a sibling made the first born experience the monstrosity of jealousy lol) |
10,389 | daddit | My little guy wake up between 430-530 every morning. Drives my wife crazy as I’m already off to work by then. |
10,390 | daddit | Wow, nice. Our kid loves to "sleep in" until 730-745am. Though she woke up at 845am today and it was awesome. She goes to bed around 8-9pm. When does your kid go to bed? We'd like to pull her bed time back to 7-8pm like it was, but sometimes we get out of a groove and end up not being as strict as other parents. |
10,391 | daddit | Ah man, I could've written this. The really brutal thing, was that we were taking the fact he slept thru until 5 as a bit of a win. So savage - I don't think I realised how rough I felt until I eventually got a solid, well, not 8 hours, let's nit go crazy, but a solid 6ish hours straight sleep. |
10,392 | daddit | Noice. |
10,393 | daddit | [deleted] |
10,394 | daddit | Oh it definitely was there for a while. He's 14 mo now and wife and I are in a *decent* rhythm now |
10,395 | daddit | you will get to know certain movies intimately…. |
10,396 | daddit | My toddler just woke crying and has since gone back to sleep, but the noise through the monitor woke my infant 50 minutes after his feeding. FML. |
10,397 | daddit | Yeah it definitely is. But I’m enjoying the process and every new day |
10,398 | daddit | Cats can most definitely be a problem. Pooping in your plants, screaming through the night, attempting to escape everytime you come home, finally escaping and coming back covered in fleas. We rehomed our fella to a friend with a big house and a young family and adopted a second dog, everyone is much happier now :) The dogs - two Jack Russells - have both been very good in comparison. |
10,399 | daddit | My wife calls our first a trick baby. If they were all like that, we'd have more lol. |
10,400 | daddit | Getting a toddler ready for bed and then actually sleeping can be a nightmare. I usually like to give myself at least an hour between starting the routine to actual lay down and sleep time if I want any hope of a reasonable bedtime. We’re not as strict as we used to be but we try to aim for no later than 9pm most nights (easier said than done.) If she skips nap then she’ll be in bed 7:30-8pm and wakes up a bit earlier in the morning. Sometimes she wakes up late from her afternoon nap and won’t get to bed until past 10pm |
