that was a gag in the last ep of high maintenance... they kept the placenta in the medicine cabinet for some reason?

In reference to the thread title, my daughter was running around the house in her underwear today (which, we have a guideline about putting clothes on if you're up and about in the house), so I showed her this State sketch and after repeat viewings she is quoting it and giggling like a maniac.

huh so turns out my 3 year old is a demon. I have no idea how I'm going to deal with him and a newborn by myself (have had family helping so far and it's still been tough)
― kinder, Sunday, 18 February 2018 10:46 (six years ago) link
yeah everyone's always like "oh having a kid is tough" but real heads know that #2, at least when #1 is still pretty small, is a whole other level
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 18 February 2018 10:59 (six years ago) link
I don't understand how having just a baby was so hard last time :p if I was just dealing with another newborn now it'd be fine! 3 yr old had fun day out yesterday, we made a treasure hunt for him this morning with a present at the end, and now he's been screaming for about an hour.
― kinder, Sunday, 18 February 2018 11:03 (six years ago) link
if it makes you feel any better, #3 was much easier than either #2 or #1
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 18 February 2018 11:07 (six years ago) link
there will not be a #3 :)dunno how anyone does it!#2 only really sleeps when held at the moment...
― kinder, Sunday, 18 February 2018 11:35 (six years ago) link
Second time you're a lot more chilled though. First time is all "OMG there's some blood, quick let's get down A&E" whereas by the time #2 comes along, unless an arm is actually hanging off it's just "Whatever, just have some Calpol".
― groovypanda, Sunday, 18 February 2018 15:52 (six years ago) link
Yeah it's like the old "sanitize the pacifier" > "rinse the pacifier" > "let the dog lick the pacifier" progression.

i remember considering buying a very expensive "bottle steriliser" lol
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 18 February 2018 15:59 (six years ago) link
When I was a tacker I remember my mother boiling the bottles to sterlize them - they were plastic ones too. Once she did this, then we went over the road to chat to the neighbours, she completely forgot the stove and we came back to a house full of fragrant melted plastic smoke.

well this morning the 3-y-o was kissing the baby's foot and telling him 'you'll always have a friend' *blub*

Awww.
Wait til the baby starts nicking the older one's toys in a year or two.

Heh, Dex n Mo are often all over each other hugging when we're walking round the shops, in this staggery silly kids way, and B will bellow "STOP LOVING YOUR BROTHER!" :D
He'll miss it when theyre beating each other up at 16 I suppose.

98thcentile for height and weight. I’m 5,8” at a push and Em is 5’3” maybe. Wtf

Nora’s been amazingly good with him by and large.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 30 March 2018 07:06 (six years ago) link
3-year-old is sweet to baby but has been horrendous otherwise. HV said it's the equivalent of your partner coming home with another woman/man so there's that. He better get over it sharpish though.Baby is a ray of sunshine compared to first time round. Growing out of clothes because he's long and leggy!
― kinder, Friday, 30 March 2018 13:38 (six years ago) link
Casper’s in 3-6 months already. He’s only 7 and s half weeks!
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 30 March 2018 17:59 (six years ago) link
Nora was pretty foul to me about once s day for the first month. Em escaped- I think she’s too precious a resource to risk.
2-month-ish fistbump...

Mr oldest is 13 and heading for that obstreperous teen phase rapidly, ugh. The other day he demanded his dad draw his bath for him because he straight up could not be bothered to turn on 2 effing taps himself. I mean... wtf. Its that pushing boundaries thing, right?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 31 March 2018 06:45 (six years ago) link
sounds like my threenager... I'm dreading the actual teen years!Nick do you have this ridiculous 'witching hour' I.e. any length of time between 6pm and midnight where an otherwise sunny baby grizzles and cries until you find the exact secret combination of feeding/walking him round the house/ swing chair/ sleepyhead/ dummy/ no dummy/ try feeding again until it's 11pm and he can finally go to sleep? it's like 3 year old goes to bed and hands over the baton to the baby...I'm pretty chilled about it as I know it doesn't last... Also first time round we had terrible screaming all night every night, so I'm wildly grateful that it's not that. But sometimes I just want to watch Homeland in peace...

Oh god yes

We solve it by going to bed at 9:30...

Oh Casper sleeps at that point. Thank god.
