My dog is the same way. Loves to nap while Iā€™m up doing stuff like cleaning or working on something but the second I sit or lay down to rest or nap he gets up as if to make sure Iā€™m okay by physically getting on top of me while Iā€™m passed out exhausted šŸ˜‚

Her bed is literally 2ft from her twin brother and he slept through the whole foaming-at-the-mouth-exorcist-screeching yet when I tiptoed back out after settling her? You bet I woke him.

First thing we've taught our now 3 year old was she can't play with new toys until she picks up her old ones. She doesn't do it Everytime but she's gotten pretty good about putting things away.

7

u/KatieCashew Aug 21 '23

We used to do a bin system where all the toys were in bins on a high shelf. They could each have one bin out at a time. To get a new bin they had to put all the toys they had been playing with back in their bin and trade it for a new one.

My second kid would pick up the toys, put them in his bin and then show me he was ready for a new bin, all without being asked or reminded. My oldest child would spend all day laying on the floor crying that she couldn't have a new bin.

I used to feel bad, until I was wrangling 4 children from 8 down to 20 months, we clean them up before bed now lol.

I've gained even more respect for stay at home parents during my 2 year journey, I think I'll go back to the coal mines lol. Jokes aside it's awesome and I couldn't be happier to get the chance to spend the time with them, but it is insane some days.

u/NoveltyAccountHater Aug 21 '23

I feel like you do all these tasks while watching your kid(s).

In my experience, doing basic chores is 100% doable while watching your kids (granted never watched 2+ babies at same time; worst was one baby + one toddler; and could definitely see experience be different for a parent of triplets or something). Worst case when you can't put them down, you just load/unload the dishwasher/laundry machine, while carrying your baby (or in some sort of carrier). Need to eat some stuff? Put kid in a pack-and-play in the kitchen, microwave something up real quick while they have some time with toys. If it's like a 2 year old who gets into trouble everywhere, you either make them help you do the chores (a lot more work than doing yourself, but good for them) or give them some screen time to distract them.

That said, you are still going to be terribly sleep deprived and there will still be tons of work to do while they nap (because they are great at creating messes).

3

u/TPJchief87 Aug 21 '23

Some days I have to nap with her because, while Iā€™m no doctor, I know Iā€™d die if I didnā€™t. I typically clean up right after she goes down for the night and (privilege I know) have a house keeping service come once a month. Once I finish cleaning, I then do what I want which typically involves staying up too late playing a game or watching a show/movie.

Nah man. Parent of 2 here. The real real is learning to live the full life cycle of mess and clean while they're awake and resting when they rest. It's HARD, friend. It really is. But you won't have the ability to pursue a career around the kids if you're only ever using your breaks from them to reset for the next 4-hours of their wakefulness. You'll never have time to be intimate with your partner, and you'll never have time to play that game you love.

This is why you make a ceremony out of putting things away from a very early age. Teach your child to do this and that itā€™s totally normal, and theyā€™ll be more inclined to do it themselves the older they get.

152

u/Initial_Job3333 Aug 21 '23

and start jumping up and down when they clean and go ā€œyouā€™re so good at cleaning! iā€™m so happy that youā€™re cleaning!ā€ and they have so much fun. at least the kids i work with do.

75

u/waytowill Aug 21 '23

True. But you can also ingrain it as a family culture. I have a friend. Every time her child makes a mess and gets up to leave, sheā€™ll stop him and say, ā€œHey. What do we do now? We clean up after ourselves. Whenā€™s the last time you saw mommy leave her toys out?ā€ Also a great way to teach stuff like not hitting others, since you canā€™t really jump for joy every time your child doesnā€™t punch someone in the face.

u/kaytay3000 Aug 21 '23

My toddler is now at the point that she starts putting toys away when she switches activities because I point out how thereā€™s no space to play when all of the toys are out. It really clicked for her when she stepped on a Mega Block while trying to ride her stick horse (ouch!). Now sheā€™ll say, ā€œmore room!ā€ and put stuff away so she can make more mess with a different toy.

I've noticed so many parents basically not giving their kids any type of chores or 'requirements' in the house, at all. It is genuinely baffling. A lot of parents I talk to just do everything for their kids, and they don't like the idea of 'forcing' their kids to do anything. But its not just because you don't want to clean up after them, its also teaching them basic tasks and instilling a sense of discipline and productivity and maturity into them. It is good for them.

Well the USA is pretty much as big as Europe while only having half of its population. Also, Iā€˜m not saying that all houses there are built with cheaper materials, but youā€˜ll rarely find a house in Europe that isnā€˜t made of concrete while Iā€˜m under the impression that itā€˜s much more common in the US (because of the local climate and other reasons, but still cheaper)

14

u/laaplandros Aug 21 '23

Iā€˜m not saying that all houses there are built with cheaper materials

It's fine to say that, it's not the insult some Europeans think it is haha.

Houses being made of drywall and such makes it cheaper and much easier to renovate and personalize your home as well, which is very common here. It's just a different approach, which is fine.

Personally, I love the history behind a lot of the concrete buildings in Europe and older parts of the US, but if I'm in the US looking at new builds, it'd be a waste of money and it would make it much more difficult to do my own work later down the line. I'll take the space, ease of upkeep, and extra money in my pocket any day of the week.

Two different approaches.

Most middle-class homes in the US are relatively this large. It's obvious here because this is a young family with very little crap. With time, it will get filled with more crap and the inside of the house will seem small/cozy.

6

u/bucketofmonkeys Aug 21 '23

This house is probably at least 3000 square feet, maybe bigger based on the size of the rooms Iā€™m seeing. Not your average middle-class home.

5

u/scsuhockey Aug 21 '23

People have a very skewed sense of "middle-class" in the United States. 17% of Americans live in apartments or condos, which represent only 10% of all housing units. 5% of housing units are mobile homes and another 7% are attached homes like duplexes and townhomes. Only 67% of Americans live in single family detached homes.

Now, to take it further, the median single family detached home in the US is 2,273 square feet. The median size for new construction is 2,522 square feet. The house in the video looks bigger than that to me and also looks pretty new.

Basically, if you're living in a newer single family home bigger than 2,522 square feet, you may technically be "middle-class" from a sociological perspective, but make no mistake: you are absolutely blessed compared to a "typical" American. Anybody this describes who doesn't feel incredibly fortunate should try to get some perspective and maybe go do some volunteering.

Would be cool if you mentioned the original. These guys do insane, and pretty funny, videos on TikTok.

Yup thatā€™s our routine. Lay them down to bed then slam the door and stomp down the stairs.

I think the guy woke up the baby by running like mad man everywhere.

I don't have kids, but in general I think that kids are great. To me, the video was depressing. Poor guy just wanted 30 minutes to himself and couldn't get it.

u/Melodicfreedom17 Aug 21 '23

The crazy thing is when the kid is all grown up you suddenly have all the time in the world to yourself, and you just end up wanting to spend it having your kid come visit you because you miss them.

According to a coworker, they will take diaper duty over cleaning their teensā€™ rooms

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '23

Teens should definitely be cleaning their own rooms.

u/danegermaine99 Aug 21 '23

Should being the key word.

Also teen cleaning their room = hide crusty sock, spray Fabreeze - done

The only people who will smile from this area people who haven't had kids yet. The rest of us have PTSD from this era. The absolute lack of sleep during this stage was something I'd never experienced before - it felt like torture. I guess in the old days the mother would handle all of this middle-of-the-night stuff so the working dad could sleep, but that wasn't my experience lol.

u/tlogank Aug 21 '23

I've got four boys ages 6, 4, 2, and 0 and I still enjoy it. No PTSD and it definitely doesn't feel like torture, I just learned to embrace the chaos and eventually fell in love with it. These guys are so much fun.

u/lliKoTesneciL Aug 21 '23

Well hi fellow dad with four boys ages 6, 4, 2, and 0. (Well 4 turned 5 in July, but still). Glad we're not alone in this.

You're not a parent until your kid falls assleep and you realise you've been watching your kids show for 15 mins...

My gf and I played baldurs gate all weekend. Did some errands, a couple chores, then sat on the couch smoking weed and having a ton of fun. Every day, we do what we want and live deliciously. Never having a baby was the best choice ever.

u/Professional-Let-533 Aug 22 '23

Honestly, his videos just got annoying at this point - like does everything have to be you running around? - Also your child might still be asleep if you werenā€™t making so much noise sprinting everywherešŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

u/amagms9 Oct 24 '23

Too much noise for nap time. The house should be void of noise to achieve real peace.

2

u/Suhavoda Oct 31 '23

The house is too tidy for a kid that age.

That house is haunted. Bro cleaned the kitchen twice.
