London and the North (Yorkshire Dales, Liverpool) in June for a week with an 8 month old. Crazy? If not crazy, any tips for smooth travels and what to do? We would be staying in a flat in London. Not sure about lodging up North.

probiotic recs for a 3 year old? Doctor said she should start taking one but didn’t have any particular suggestions

Those with older kids, what do you use as consequences when your kids are rude & disrespectful? To teachers or at home. Child in question is a 3rd grade bpy with ADHD, so I’m reluctant to take away things like outside time with friends or sports that can be helpful in moderating his behavior.

I was looking for thoughts on how to work with my almost 9 year old to start thinking about contributing to society and helping to make the world a better place.

We live in a very affluent community, and sometimes I get the sense that everyone just values money/success (maybe I am wrong), and I want her to think a bit deeper than that (a lot of her conversations and those of her friends are about who has the bigger house, more toys, what prestigious college they are going to go to), but feel lost as to where to start. I guess I just want her to grow into a person who cares less about thing/prestige/success and more about deeper values/how to make the world a better place.

what are some of your favorite meals to cook for your kids (both to pack for lunch and to cook for dinner)? stuck in a rut lately with a very picky 3 year old – feel like he keeps eating the same meals over and over again.

Please tell me my middle child (4) will eventually outgrow the garbage truck obsession phase. It’s been two years of sustained, intense interest, to the exclusion of almost anything else. The only toys played with at home are trucks and bins, tiny toy bins are filled with a dizzying area of legos, scraps of paper, etc (that are organized and categorized by some Byzantine system I don’t understand but exists because I’ve violated it before and suffered the consequences). We’re asked to take specific driving routes through town for daycare drop off in the hopes that we’ll see garbage trucks (neighborhoods in town have different pick up days; this request is occasionally granted). On our bin pickup day, kid has started waking up at 4 AM panicked about missing the trucks and then it’s restless sleep until 5:45 when I get up, make a coffee, and we sit outside and watch the trucks come. I love my kiddo and I’m sure this level of interest and focus will be helpful later in life but right now… I just want to talk about something else! And get more sleep!

Consensus around a good brand for those personalized waterbottle label bands? Kind of like a Livestrong bracelet? Inchbug? Prefer something with fast turnaround. thanks ladies, happy Friday!

Help! For those of you in snowy climes, what do you do with a kid in an arm cast?

DD just fractured her elbow and we have a trip to Colorado planned in a week. Doctor wasn’t sure about skiing, going to learn more from him next week (it’s in a hard cast and very stable and we could put it in a bag, but skiing is dangerous… but also she’s seven and it wouldn’t be aggressive? IDK, leaning towards leaving her home with a sitter). But sledding definitely out as far as I’m concerned. Can’t ice skate. Those are kind of the three things she was looking forward to.

This is also complicated by the fact that she has siblings who will want to ski and sled and such. I’d plan a different trip but since we’re seven days out it feels too late!

Quick weekday breakfasts for a 14 month old self-feeding? He can’t exactly 100% eat what 4-year-old brother eats. I need some alternatives to banana + waffles, toast, or cheerios. Things I can make ahead are great (egg muffins, no-sugar banana bread, baked oatmeal cups), but bonus points for things I can buy. Don’t want to give anything where I have to help (e.g. oatmeal). TIA!

Is something weird with the comments today? They keep disappearing for me.

Our youngest’s preschool has a weekly “mystery reader” program where parents sign up to come in and read a book to the class. The signups went out in September and we had a spot in January. The program temporarily paused due to COVID, so we swapped our Jan spot for a random week in April.

We just found out that my MIL will be in town two weeks before the slot we have in April. How weird would it be for me to reach out to the parent (mom) that has the spot and ask if she’d be open to swapping? If it were one of the families I knew well from school, I would text them with 0 hesitation. This is just a family I haven’t gotten to know well and I don’t want it to sound like ANYTHING other than “if it happens that you picked this random day and any other day would be just fine, would you consider swapping? If not it’s not a big deal *at all* and don’t give it a second thought.” If anyone asked me to swap days, I’d do it without a second thought. We just picked a random day.

How do I convey that in an email?

Just explain the situation and don’t overthink it. Or ask the school if they can add an extra mystery reader spot for Grandma while she is in town. Our preschool would have been happy to do that.

Paging past posters!

Hair Gel for little Boys: Hip Peas Hair Styling Balm – it’s pretty thick so you don’t use much and I wet my hands first so there are no goops, plus it is supposedly safe for kids. I don’t use it on DS daily but when I do it’s so cute.

Reima coats for kids – question on sizing. I just got the 3T coat I ordered on sale for next winter and put it on my 2T, just over 2 yo, daughter. The sleeves and length were long and it was definitely big on her, but it does look like it will fit next year. Fingers crossed. I love the print and looks well-made, nice details like reflective strips on sleeves. While it is fairly heavy, it is not very puffy, which I appreciate for this age range so they can still walk!

Going back to the office part time has me thinking…

Has anyone tried the oversized blazer trend? Madewall and Everlane have a couple I have my eye on. Am I too old to pull that off? Will I look frumpy rather than chic if I am not a size 2?

A quick PSA now that kids birthday parties seem to be coming back! In our school/circle it’s very “no gifts please” which makes me want to bring a cute card to parties. Rifle Paper Company has their buy 5 cards get 5 free and they have some great cards, usually blank inside so kiddo can write his message. I stock up on this sale annually.
