Tundra 86'd for an 86 which was 86'd for a Sequoia

This.
My coworker just had a little girl, I was surprised because it's their first and he is almost as old as I am (old) I cannot imagine being 60 with an 18 year old.
15 years ago the Wife wanted another. I knew arguing was pointless so we tried. Thankfully we failed.

I'm glad it's better. Good luck with not having any more. I was done at one, we have three.
Usually, we get two at a time, one or the other a few times a month. It's cool so the windows are open, which made it louder. I try to run out to see what they are. I like that they are pretty low, which makes identification easy.

Same. Other than the 4 month regression, Baby S sleeps for about 12 hours a night and has been since like 6-7 weeks.
Yeah you gotta work on that... We've been slowly moving her clock back. She'll sleep from 8pm or so til 11, diaper change and feed, then from midnight to 4am, diaper change and feed, then from 5ish til 9 or 10am. Before, she was wide awake from 8pm until 2am or so, and would only sleep in 2hr increments the rest of the night.

Did you turn on the gentle mode? That helped a lot for us. The normal mode looked downright dangerous lol. Also try it without her in the stupid swaddle that it comes with. Arms out works best.

1 is the money...I can take her to disney twice a year now...(edit: not that I do...but I can)
more importantly is the patience....I'm a different man now than I was 15 years ago.
I think after a certain point it's a pavlov's dog thing at 4am, Sam. I can't remember when it is but at some point they can wait.
My ex and I used to be on the same page...kid never sleeps in the room with us...kid learned to sleep through noise and to wait for certain stuff.
Even now...she knows not to wake me up on the weekend...I come downstairs and her bed is made, she's dressed and usually reading books or
playing quietly in her room. The kid is an angel.

We're at the point now where we make her cry it out for a while before we go in there and see what's up, it's at about 4 months when you can start doing that. There's a whole schedule thing (can be found online) to follow based on their age and how long to let them cry but we don't really follow that. We can usually tell when she's crying whether she's just being a B that wants attention or really needs something and respond accordingly. At this point she really only wakes up because she's hungry and has started sleeping for ~8hrs, eat, then sleep for another 4 hours before being up for the day. Big thing is to make sure that they always equate sleep to being sleepy and nothing else.

Sam...you are a well thought out person. What I normally tell people
is that every kid is different and every parent is different and that if there's no right way to do things
then technically there's also no WRONG way to do them.
I've treated Z like an adult from day one...I come down hard but I explain why then reinforce with love.
I never want her to think that my being strict means I don't love and accept her. We're all flawed, the sooner
you accept that and admit to it the sooner you can stop pretending and pointing fingers and you can take accountability.
Then you can work on apologizing and meaning it and lastly correcting the behavior. She can reason and deduce a lot for a 5 year old.
I've told her that won't defend her if she's wrong...and the golden rule applies to life...you're an ass you can sit in your room and stare at a
wall or scrub your own shit from inside a toilet bowl...or you can be cool and sweet and helpful and do well in school and you can make it
impossible for me NOT to want to take you for ice cream and go for a bike ride and have a great day together...either way that is in YOUR
control, not mine. I've already decided I'm gonna have a great day doing what I love after I do the stuff I don't. LOL...
downside to that is she is super good at pointing out when I'm full of shit or hypocritical ALREADY at 5 years old. But I practice what I preach...
"you're right babe...sorry about that...I'll work on it". :wink: The other day she tells me she can't wait to be an adult so she can control people
too. I was like...FUCK, I've gone too far
![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Being a parent is so challenging but also so fun and rewarding.
Anyway, sorry for the derail...just know that none of us know what the fuck we're doing...we just try and lead with good intention and the dust falls wherever it does.
e30, any further progress searching for your next money pit or are you waiting for this one to sell first?

I'm certain you'll be in the same boat in a few short years from now. First few months are rough...
people tell you it gets fun but they don't prepare you for HOW fun it is. You're in for a good time.
and the 3 I have input on with my girl's kids...I think MAN, the likelihood that I'll have to wipe my own ass
at 90 is really dwindling.
Anyway, spousal friction is what carries relationships IMO

Have you narrowed down what you want next? May I ask that you run it by us before you pull the trigger?
I don't know why but I feel like a few of us would have been able to talk you out of the 86 beforehand.

The 86 was a total impulse buy that I literally told the salesman (dealing with him for a decade) I know I'll regret this but sold.
lol
I'm leaning towards getting back to a huge hauler. I miss space.
My price range keeps expanding.
phoenix cars & trucks "sequoia platinum" - craigslist
That maroon one is down from 19.9 to 17.5

FYI, the 6.2 was available in the Burban, for just 1 year.

I know this is gonna be sacrilege to say but
from some angles I actually think it looks dated...
kinda like the V1 looked to me when I saw the V2...
now the V3 looks modern and even then, there's the newer stuff...
If I still had one though I'd be telling y'all to suck my dick cause wagon
and 556hp.
