So I have a chance to go to a yacht race in Key West in January. You know one of those races with all the top billionaires of the world. Me and a partner were comissioned to do photo/video/web marketing for one of the teams.
I picture debauchery with the top blondes in the world.
I need to consult the devil on my shoulder.

any Macedonians going to be there?

 

[lurch70]

All of them. I can pick you up on the way down.

 

[dorian gray]

just blow the horn when you pull up

so my wife managed to "lose" our daughter in a department store today while I was in another store. serious panic ensued for about a minute until some staff found her. holy hell that was the longest time ever.
fuck that feeling was the worst. i had people die on me in the past and I felt less fear.

 

[dorian gray]

That's my worst nightmare

 

[Reign in Acai]

While on a field trip in kindergarten I got lost at the L.A Zoo. They had to call my teacher on the P.S system in order to locate me. The fact that there were primates both in confined spaces, and walking amongst us left me in a state of disarray. It wasn't until some years later that I was able to differentiate between those whose knuckles drag to aid mobility, and those whose knuckles drag as an evolutionary adaptation to cotton picking.

What did you fellas do when your children hit the 6 month mark and were still waking throughout the night? Most times it's just for us to put the pacifier back in his mouth; he has become very dependent on it to soothe himself to sleep. Did your children use a pacifier to soothe? Were you lucky and not have a problem at all with this stuff?

My wife holds him with pacifier in mouth very night until he falls asleep, puts him to bed, then he wakes up various times throughout the night for us to just put the damn thing back in his mouth. After talking to a few friends who had success with the Ferber Method, we are considering going that route but am still unsure. It's probably the same thing our parents did to all of us but without the interval check-ins.

Hook a brotha up with some advice.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Don't pacifiers fuck up kid's teeth? That's what I've always heard.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Sucking their thumb is worse. But this is all once they actually have a good set of teeth, of course. Their are a bunch of pros and cons although I wish we never introduced it. However, I don't think that is the root of our problem.

 

[dorian gray]

Pacifiers rule. Wait until you have more than one child. You'll be sucking on one.



I dont remember the early years well but I can tell you my three year old continues to wake up at least once in the middle of the night for whatever nefarious reason she has conjured up. When she was still using her Nuk several months ago, she would wake up two or three times a night from it falling it out of her mouth.

I don't really have any advice though; I think it may just be one of those things that are expected.

what's the Ferber Method?

We babysat our nephew (her sister's child) last night and it was hell on earth. My 6-mointh old sleeps better than him at 2+ years old. He cant go to sleep alone yet and has trouble sleeping by himself period. Insane seperation anxiety and has nothing to do with a pacifier. It sure gave me perspective.
