8 YO DD is doing her first long haul flight (LA > Sydney) later this month. I’ll take any recs you have for things to get her to make it more comfortable. She’s got the iPad, kindle and traditional donut neck pillow. Thinking about getting some crosswords. She’ll dress in comfy layers and sneakers.
What else?
Also, melatonin was suggested for the flight and for possibly helping to adjust to the time difference, as needed. Any favorite brands?
I won’t be with her, but dad will. We’ve talked about “scheduling” her time a bit. Aka not just going immediately to the iPad since that will get old far too quickly in to the flight. Thankfully (I think) it takes off around 1am EST so DD should be exhausted and will hopefully sleep for the first chunk, unless excitement gets the best of her.
I know we’ve talked about laser hair removal. I’m considering bikini line and underarms. Bikini line would specifically be to mitigate really painful ingrown which happen specifically from cycling/spin class – trust me that I’m desperate after doing all the solutions which worked for ‘normal’ ingrown hairs.
If you did this, can you share about how much it cost, when you did it, and if you’d recommend it? Also – any advisement against going to a local chain (we have a couple) that does this as their bread and butter service?
I know it’s summer but our morning routine is not working. Talk to me about what works for your family. My kids are 9, 5 and 5. Mostly, I’d like them to get ready without 15 reminders from me. Where are your shoes. Where is your backpack. Did you brush your teeth. How do you motivate kids who aren’t self-motivated?
So my 2 year old told me confidently that he did not want to go to daycare today. I told him that if he did not go to daycare, he would need to stay downstairs and play by himself all day instead of being able to go play with friends and daycare toys and eat snacks there (since I do work from home). He said “okay!”
I logged in to work when we would normally leave to drop him off at daycare, started going through emails, and he’s been playing downstairs by himself for the past half an hour? I thought he’d last like 5 minutes. My work is flexible enough that it’s not a problem to log in early and then take a break to take the kid to daycare when he starts being needy, so I guess we’ll just see how long this lasts?
Headed to Universal/Disney this weekend? Any last minute remember to pack items that people recommend? Thank you!
Low stakes question on the back of the post yesterday. HSAL, you are doing amazing!
What is an “average” number of days to spend at theme parks on a park focused trip. (Could be Disney + Universal). I have done exactly 1 day of Disney in my life (Paris). You see packages online with like 5 days at a park… what do y’all do? Just curious.
Kiddo only cared about rides.
Today is field day at my kids’ elementary school- just got texts from two different parents that each of my children is crying/anxious/not wanting to participate.
Low stakes but — when do movie theaters post their weekend schedules?? I was hoping to take the family to the star wars movie this weekend, but our local theaters don’t have it listed as showing. But it’s only been out for a couple of weeks, I’d be surprised if it’s no longer in theaters. Just curious.
Low stakes question – if I am wearing light gray pants with a navy shirt, should my shoes and belt be black or brown?
Any recommendations on sneaker brands that will actually hold up to daily use for my 2 and 4 year old? Willing to spend up to $50-60 range. I’m sick of throwing out sneakers that fall apart before the kid outgrows them! Have tried Stride Rite (repeatedly disappointed in durability past the early walker stage), Cat & Jack (lasted the longest but also had the least support for their feet), and Saucony (middle of the road).
I feel like my husband and I are on a bit of a collision course when it comes to chore and to-do preferences. We’re in the middle of a move, which is obviously a stressful thing with a lot of stuff that needs to get done, but he’s been push push push to the point of neglecting basic self-care – he’ll try to cram more and more tasks into a day, even if they can and should wait, whereas I am very protective of my one tiny sliver of free time after our toddler goes to bed. It’s frustrating me that after a long day when we both got a lot done around our full-time jobs, he’ll interrupt that one hour of time I get to ask some question about an annoying to-do list item that could very easily wait for another time. In turn, I know it’s frustrating to him if I say “it can wait” or “let’s discuss it tomorrow after ___” when he’s itching for the satisfaction of checking another item off the list.
I know that I need to be flexible too – with a move, there are legitimately a lot of demands and some stuff needs to be decided quickly for the next day. I don’t want to make a “rule” that he can’t talk to me after 8:30 pm, for example, since I have seen just how often we get an answer from a vendor after that time, and I appreciate how much work he’s putting in for this move and the rest of our life together. However, I know myself and how badly I will do mentally if I don’t get a teensy bit of time to read and unwind each day. I also think my husband would do better to channel his own anxious energy into an exercise routine, but that’s his choice and not mine. Any advice for me?
