If anybody has any sorcerer's spells for untwisting my car seat straps, please share them. I swear to christ it's a problem that seems so simple, "JUST TWIST THE STRAP THE OTHER WAY" I think, but then fuck no, that's not right. Hey what just happened? Is that an old cheerio?
- I watched a couple of YouTube videos and then practiced a lot. Like, I literally twisted the straps on purpose to practice untwisting them. I'm pretty good now.nocomply

1.) For those first few weeks/months, when your baby is sleeping in some kind of baby rocker, car seat, etc...
Tie a shoe string to the contraption the baby is sleeping in. Then you can pull on it and rock the baby without getting out of bed or off the couch.
Life: hacked!
2.) "The Secret Weapon" - If your baby is crying and fussing in the car seat, grab the handle of it and swing them in a large, fast sweeping motion. Not some gentle-ass rocking here. Put some real muscle into it and give them a ride. The crying stops almost immediately. Almost every time. This trick was passed along to be by another dad. It's like a secret Dad tip, I hear.

Similar to Kona - reverse psychology works amazingly well with toddlers.
Also when trying to get them dressed, I've found giving them an option of two (pairs of shoes, for example) makes them think they're more in control and will pick a pair (vs. refusing steadfastly to wear anything)
If you've a newborn, buy a pack / many, many packs of cloth diaper inserts and keep them around the house - amazing for the inevitable multitude of spills, sick ups and worse.

^ Oh and if you feed your little ones cheerios and/or Quaker Oatmeal - I would reconsider. Harmful levels of cancer-causing weed killer have recently been found in them. Find an organic alternative. Thanks Monsanto.

When you start shaving, avoid shaving too high on your cheeks, else you'll look like a werewolf by the end of highschool. The best advice.
