One of those classic I didn’t know about that moment. Dadsnet, keeping dads ahead of the curve. Thanks for letting me in on what’s down the kids these days.

I agree with Dominic. Making him feel safe is best way to combat this. Let him know your there and then ease out once he’s dropped fully.
Regular routine always helps too. Try keep the lighting low after dinner, bath routine teeth then bed with stories.

Sounds very similar to ours that at 2.
She dropped the nap a little earlier and helped her get longer nights through, with odd wake.
Now she’s come on a bit and she’s much better – think it had something to do with being dry in the night that’s really helped.
Although, something new has reared its head and she’s waking 3-4 hours into her sle…[Read more]

We’re welsh first language at home but starting to introduce English as she’s picked bits up at nursery. Much to our amusement with some of the mixed phrases we get! Amazing.
It’s a pain having to be a translator for your child in the playground or park though when other kids haven’t a clue what she’s saying or vice versa.
Don’t think it’s…[Read more]

I get similar treatment sometimes and it makes it super hard if you’re not on your A game it just feels like a proper gut punch.
Try not to take it personally and be proactive about it.
The key thing I’d say is don’t lose your patience with it, as getting angry is just gonna make her not want to be around you.Try spending more 1-1 time with…[Read more]

We stayed in the Haven in Porthmadog last year with our 2 year old and she loved it, backed right onto the beach. The onsite facilities were decent for a holiday park nothing too extravagant , pool, games, park and small indoor soft play. Enough to keep us entertained for 3 days. There were lots of 8-14 year olds smashing around who were well…[Read more]

Looks like a great trip. More to north wales than Snowdon then it appears!

Definitely worth having a look on your doorstep for plenty of getaway options.
Good to see you braving the UK weather and doing the caravanning too.Rhys32 commented on the post, 9 Inanimate Objects I have Actually Hated as a Dad 2 years, 3 months ago
Things I’d add… probably the selection of cutlery and plates and bowls and not this one but that one which makes even the most swiftly platable meal an episode of who wants to be a millionaire with every lifeline of 50:50, phone a friend and ask the audience exhausted before we settle on the right bowl, cup plate cutlery combo.

Another about the door is if you do manage to get the room completely black out and the landing is all dark. Beware in case the door is open whilst you escape.
Door edges are not soft

Curries go well in it from experience but to combat the watery-ness don’t put the coconut cream or milk in too early if you can. Or before serving wack into a pan and give it a quick blast to reduce. Another tip is cut up some potatoes quite small in a rough dice and add to usual recipe these will cook down and mush in to give your sauce a bit o…[Read more]
