My daughter is newly 6 and in kindergarten. I posted a while back about the start of the school year and how her teacher unloaded to my mom about how she was “manipulative” and “just wants to be the center of attention”. Truly wild things to say about a 5-year-old, IMO. I considered switching her to a different class or school but things seemed to settle down and I got a nice note on her report card along with grade level marks.
Now the conflict between them seems to have heated up again. I’m getting notes daily about how she talks when she’s supposed to be working and detailed behavior charts. My daughter, for her part, says school makes her sad because she’s always being told she’s doing the wrong thing.
Curious what folks here would do. I have her conference on Friday so I’ll have a chance to talk to the teacher in detail.
Hello All, I’m about to have our first baby in early December! So exciting. My husband and I like to take a trip for our anniversary every April. Pre-baby, I would have loved to go to Miraval or a similar resort/spa with excellent food and fitness activities and beautiful nature. Ideally we like to relax, not worry too much about logistics, and do some healthy activities in the sunshine. Are there any resorts similar to this that allow babies? I’m thinking my husband and I could take turns attending some classes and then also doing family activities like easy hikes.
I’m coming from Minneapolis and would prefer somewhere with a direct flight if possible. Driving a couple hours would also be okay but if there was a magical family friendly place within driving distance I think I would know about it. Price is flexible, we haven’t traveled in the last year at all and generally we take 2-3 big trips a year. I’m comfortable spending up to $1500 a night if food and activities are included (I know miraval is a little more expensive than this, but we would have funded it with credit card points).
Hi all, im the OP from yesterday who is struggling to balance my big job with my son. Just wanted to say thank you for all the kind responses. It’s really nice to know that others have similar feelings and to hear perspectives about how people have handled it. I took a bit of a mental health day yesterday (worked from home and did only what was necessary work wise) and am feeling more optimistic and refreshed today. I’m definitely going to work on leaning OUT of the extra stuff at work the next few months as I think that’s where the burnout is coming from. Thanks everyone.
When does the farting stop? All my 7 week old does all day is fart angrily. Sleeping? Farting. Eating? Farting. Screaming like he is possessed by demons? Farting.
Hi! Anxious (not so anxious anymore) Mom here. Had our fall conference with my younger kid’s (5 next month) teacher yesterday. Everything was overall great. The one thing she very wisely cited was that he is a perfectionist, and when he hears anything that he takes like criticism (even a classmate saying “hey move over “) he’ll internalize it (like put his head down and clearly get sad) and then respond with frustration. She says she sees him want to please and make people happy and it’s just very disappointing to him when he can’t. She’s been working with him on this – deep breaths, explaining, etc. We’ve been doing the same at home – “Like hey, you were frustrated that you couldn’t do X. Let’s problem solve together”
DH said it was a light bulb moment for him, because he was similar, and somehow adapted but not without a lot of internal turmoil.
I know y’all have posted before with your own perfectionist tendencies/those of your kids. What has worked to help them with the frustration? I know time will also help, but want to also think through other ways to help him work through it.
Can we do a thread on stocking ideas for adults? My favorite category is “upgrades” of everyday items, but I’ll take any ideas…
So far I’ve gotten a Gir spatula for my husband to replace our ancient Ikea one, two cappuccino mugs for his new espresso machine, and metal cooking tongs for my mom who weirdly doesn’t have any.
My 1-year-old goes to sleep at 7 and is usually pretty dang tired by then – falls asleep right away. We’re driving 3.5 hours for a big family Thanksgiving next week (same time zone) and we’ll be doing the drive Thanksgiving morning due to work. I just found out that dinner won’t be served until 6-7 at a house 3 miles from the one we’re staying in (non-walkable). Would you: a) bring the Pack-and-Play and set it up in a spare bedroom at the dinner house to put him to bed at 7, then transfer him to the car seat when we’re ready to leave and re-set up the Pack-and-Play at our place; b) let him stay up an extra hour or so and then we all leave back to our place together for bed; c) send one of the parents back home to our place with him for bed, leaving the other to get a ride back with non-drunk family later? I suppose we could also let him nap in the stroller if needed (which lies almost flat) so we wouldn’t need to lug the pack and play. What would be easiest, you think?
Any recommendations for a doll for a 2 year old? I’m pregnant and due in late March, so I thought it might be a fun gift for my daughter (she will be 2 and a half when the baby is born).
