  • Similar for me… I felt for my son from birth but not this life-changing wave of paternity that is often portrayed in media. Similar to OP, more like this is a little being that depends on me and I owe it to him and my partner to be responsible. Shit is hard, though.

    When I really started connecting with him was when he started showing personality around 6 months, then even more so as he started getting language and mental faculties.

    We were told in prenatal classes that on average babies cry about 2 hours/day, and that’s true around the world. Different cultures perceive it differently and thus feel like there’s more or less crying. Maybe this knowledge can help you to take a step back and look at the crying situation more objectively. Maybe not. It is the only way your little one knows to communicate the smallest discomfort right now, and everything bad is also literally the worst thing that has ever happened to them.

    We had more like 8 hours of crying due to health challenges and bad advice, and that will shred your soul. If you’re consistently way above the 2 hour mark, do say to your support team. PM me if you want and I’ll share some more thoughts because our team was shit and we had to figure it out ourselves.







  • Absolutely! I also love access to small, cheap electronic bits for my projects, and at the same time I’m all for protecting our postal services. A 2€ per package surcharge doesn’t practically change anything on the economy side. Temu already expects a minimum purchase of something like 20€.

    My small concern with this is how it will be applied/processed by the carriers. I hope it doesn’t end up like the customs/VAT on larger packages, where they charge 10-20€ for customs clearance. But now that I write it down, for me, even that isn’t a complete blocking factor. I’d probably spend more time comparing the value of ordering direct vs from a local reseller, which is exactly the goal.






  • That sounds reasonable. My little lady is almost 4 years and 850 g. Her cagemate is a younger and much less active gentleman who has developed an excess of chonk at 1110 g.

    She was heavier and had some thyroid issues that caused weight loss but she’s stabilized now. My advice is to do weekly weigh-ins. If she’s stable, it should be ok.

    If you notice she seems to be always ravenous and/or moody, that’s how we first picked up on the thyroid issue, coupled with a noticeable weight loss (as in feeling different when picking her up, not even needing a scale).
