A positive update for you all – I posted once or twice about how I was really struggling with my son being home sick from daycare so much with very limited PTO and with me struggling to make up the hours in our small apartment that wasn’t conducive to being able to work while he’s home. Two good things: he hasn’t stayed home sick in six weeks or more (praise be) and we moved into a larger place where now we’ll not only be able to easily have enough space for a back-up caregiver (if we can find a good one – still working on that), but where I can now work in the evenings or very early mornings with my full two-monitor set-up and ergonomic keyboard and all of that. Now that I’m no longer sharing an office with my son’s crib and my husband isn’t sharing his office with our dining area/hallway/entryway/storage area (seriously, that apartment was the worst), everything feels so much easier. I feel like I have options again for making the most of the challenges each day can throw at us. If DS is home sick and I have an important call, his dad can take him in a fully separate room or (if he’s well enough), to the park that is literally right around the corner. This is such a gamechanger for us.
I’m mainly looking for sympathy but will take any tips/strategies you have. My 13-year-old gets very very homesick when not sleeping at home, to the point of throwing up from anxiety (yes, we’re working with a therapist). This happens at sleepovers as well as family vacations. We’re gearing up for band camp and a school trip to another city, neither of which I want them to miss. Is this just a power through thing? A phase? I feel so bad for them but I know the experiences of camp and trips are so worthwhile.
My girls have beautiful golden ringlets that I spend about 10 minutes styling each morning. When I style it, it does not impede their play or get in their faces. Occasionally their teachers will restyle it, and the teachers have always said it was just because they (the teachers) wanted to play with it during nap time or a dress up game.
A schedule change means that DH is getting them ready in the morning more often now. He can’t comb their hair or even get it into ponytail – he either won’t or can’t learn. Obviously long loose hair is uncomfortable and in their faces.
So help me figure out the compromise hairstyle. DH thinks we should “trim bangs, nothing drastic” But that doesn’t really simplify the morning care. I think he’s actually picturing a bowl cut, which I find cringingly unflattering. If we have to cut it, I am considering either a pixie cut or the buzzed-sided-long-top cut.
What would you say is the compromise of aesthetics and care?
Morning! Can I ask you all something? I feel silly but i am moatly sharing how I feel.
I have been the preferred parent to my only child her whole life (she is 3). Around the time she turned three, she started to ask for dad, just like can daddy come with us when we are getting ready for the playground, asking him to play with her where before she only ever asked me to play with her, that kind of stuff.
I know this is normal and I am so happy she is showing a close bond with dad. But I feel kind of whiplashed, like where did that come from? Any tips for this type of thing?
