I was at the grocery store yesterday, doing my weekly shop, at an incredibly busy time. There were lines for every checkout. I finally got to the front, started loading everything onto the belt, when the Gen Z guy behind me tapped my shoulder. I had been aware of him because he’d been talking on the phone at full volume the whole time we were waiting. He asked me if he could cut ahead because he only had half a dozen items and I had a full cart. I told him that there was a self-checkout area for smaller carts. He said it was busy too. I basically shrugged and was like, tough luck. AITA here? I know from experience that the self-checkout goes incredibly fast at this store, even when it looks like there’s a long line. Plus the entitlement of the question, plus his rude behavior talking so loudly on the phone, plus the fact that I had to get home and feed my kids. Would you let someone with a smaller cart cut you at the grocery store?
My eleven year old and her friend are both teaching assistants at the local ballet academy and have decided they want to hold a dance camp for a group of first graders (7 girls, including DD’s little sister) on random day off from school we have coming up.
They both know how a camp works, they know fun warm up routines and such from TAing, they are having the girls bring lunch but providing snacks (and have an allergies section on the registration form they created). They’re doing a craft which they’ve already practiced themselves and planning some games as well. Am I crazy for letting them do this? Oh and they ARE charging, which I’m actually good with since it’s a lot of work!
Have we all read the Belle Burden book Strangers? (I just listened to it on tape). There were many interesting aspects to it but I thought one of the more interesting ones was the nastiness she got from some working women, suggesting that she put herself in the position she was in because she chose to stop working. I’d always thought the opposite was the stereotype, i.e. that men didn’t want career women wives, they wanted more feminine, “hot” women and therefore would leave their accomplished spouses for floozies. Just goes to show I guess you can’t win in the eyes of public perception as a woman.
Any recs for maternity swimsuits and rash guards? I anticipate a lot of beach and pool time this summer with my toddler (and I wasn’t pregnant in the summer last time!) I would prefer a two-piece but I’m not liking the options I’ve seen so far, too many ruffles.
How do you teach a toddler that they can’t do something? I can’t tell if my daughter is very strong willed or just 2 and a half. But she doesn’t stop if I ask or tell her to. I try to let the little things go, but can’t let her throw toys around her baby sister or push her baby sister, and really don’t want to let things like throwing food on the ground go.(the last one is a little easier, cause I just refuse to give her more of that food item)
In terms of getting her to do stuff, I’ve actually found that counting to three works really well. Most of the time, she does the thing and she knows I will pick her up and do it for her after I reach 3 if she is still refusing. But that doesn’t work with getting her to stop doing something. This weekend, it wad a lot of grabbing her arm and telling her no, but I didn’t love that approach and think I need a new strategy.
All the fingers and toes crossed please – we are due to move in 10 days and there’s a finance issue a few links up in the chain… Our kid starts at the new school tomorrow, our sale missives (Scottish contract) are complete, so we definitely have to move next week, but where we move to? Waiting to hear from the solicitor.
But we had a fab time in the US. Thanks for everyone’s recommendations. We went to Empire Mines in Grass Valley, had a big family picnic in a downpour, took the California Zephyr there and back. We had a breezy 20 hours in San Francisco. My SF orientation failed me after 15 years away – took my kid down 6th Street at Mission by mistake en route to dinner – definitely challenged my assertion that SF is one of the world’s great cities. But we took a cable car at sunset, took a Waymo *(another rec) to Japantown, and ate great sushi.
