Family Friday: Kids’ Mini Miramar Wide-Leg Jeans

I have two pairs of rag & bone’s Miramar “jeans” — and through photorealistic printing, these jeans are really sweatpants in disguise.
Now, they have a version for kids! These wide-leg Mini-Miramars are 100% soft cotton terry so your kids will stay comfortable all day. As someone who hated the stiffness of denim as a kid, I would have lived in this faux version.
These jeans are $88 at Nordstrom and come in three washes. They’re available in 12M to 9-10Y.

Help me use my words. It’s Friday.
My 3rd grader wants to invite a male school friend over for a playdate. They get along well, she reply was one of only a handful of kids to be invited to his birthday party. I know his parents vaguely from around town.
Two things. 1) I asked my daughter to talk to him first and see if he’d be up for it and she got really weird, like no, can you just text his parents? 2) both she and the other boy are different flavors of neurospicy, I’m not entirely sure if this kiddo *does* play dates. Do I ask that first? Ask what kind of play date would work best? Or just extend an invite for him to come over and leave it to the parents to explain what he would be up for?
And…they are 9. Is it really even a “play date” or “would sam be interested in coming over some time next week after school to craft or play in the yard or whatever?”
I am planning a dinosaur-themed party for my dino-obsessed rising five year old. It will be at a park. I was thinking of doing a dino egg hunt. Is it weird to do an egg hunt in August? Would kids get upset if they wanted the toy or contents that another child had in their eggs? Just trying to avoid fights. Though it’s more than I would usually spend on a party favor, I was also thinking of getting dino tails for everyone from Etsy. Any other ideas for a dino-themed party?
Just venting, my 4 month old won’t sleep.
I had a glimmer of hope at 2-3 months that she would be a unicorn sleeper and sleep through the night early… And then she got bad eczema and I needed to start nursing to sleep so she wouldn’t rub her face raw + bleeding… And then she started waking 3-4 times a night and so hard to put back down.
Barely functioning on 4-5 hours of sleep per night, desperately trying to avoid a cosleeping habit, and letting my toddler watch all the videos.
Someone please remind me this won’t be forever?!
My middle schooler is taking an elective that’s predominantly male (e.g., computer science, robotics, etc), so the class is about 21 boys and 4 girls. It’s the last period of the day and, with the end of the year, the class has gotten increasingly disruptive. The boys are not controlling themselves and the teacher is struggling.
As part of the misbehavior, the boys have been bullying the girls. Poking at them. Making loud or gross noises in their ears. Knocking their stuff to the ground. Hiding their things. My daughter has a really hard time controlling her temper and this stuff makes her super angry, which has made her a particular target of the boys. Her closest friend in the class has stopped speaking and is doing her best to be invisible, which isn’t okay either.
The teacher has tried addressing it by moving seats–there have been four seating assignments in two weeks, each trying to move boys away from the girls they are tormenting. But since it’s basically all the boys participating, new seats don’t help.
Yesterday the class had an assignment where each kid had to present in front of the class. When my daughter went to present all of the boys made loud farting noises every time she tried to speak. The teacher stopped the exercise and my daughter didn’t get to present. My daughter was furious and upset. She chose this elective because she wants to do it. It would be her favorite class of the day if not for the a-hole boys.
What would you expect the school to do to fix this? Kicking kids out of class doesn’t seem to be an option because it’s so much of the class participating. I’ve advised my daughter to hold her temper and let the teacher handle it, as has the teacher, but her frustration levels are pretty high and escalating. She shouldn’t have to go to class to be bullied, nor should the other girls.
I would have rolled my eyes so hard at the idea of $88 sweatpant jeans for kids (or adults) but now that my kids exclusively live in sweats and leggings only and consider jeans “dress up clothes” I think I would seriously consider these just for the change in visual. With my brood though, I am certain they would just refuse to wear them.
