For those of you who had “good sleepers” at 18 months, did they continue to be “good sleepers” in their preschool years? Our baby has slept through the night for a little while now without any formal sleep training attempts besides the basics like a wind-down routine, pausing before going in for every rustle, etc. and a friend is trying to scare me that it “won’t last.” I of course know that nothing is a guarantee but I’m now curious how common her experience is, where her firstborn slept great until age 2 and then was up constantly. They did not do any sleep training (CIO or otherwise), but she says she wishes they had done the chair method or something and were just too overwhelmed.
Cross-posting here, but I’m in the final interview stage for a job that would be a great move. But I just found out I’m pregnant. This is a small tech company that doesn’t even qualify for FMLA, and I’d be willing to bet they’ve never had an employee need maternity leave before. Anyone been in a similar situation that can give me an idea what’s reasonable to negotiate for/expect if I do get an offer?
Nervous birthday party host reporting back in: it was a success! The kids had a wild romp of a time without damaging anyone or anything. The cake was tasty and just big enough for the crowd. And I got some super-cute close-up pictures from the “photobooth” and the pinata.
my son (turning 10) wants to have a sleepover birthday party. It’s our first sleepover birthday experiment, and I will take any top tips you might have. This will be a group of fairly high energy boys (eeeek) and I live in a city and have a small “yard”/patio but no big outdoor space.
Any Chicago area folks here done the penguin encounter at the Shedd? Is it as fun as it sounds? My newly 8 year old is penguin obsessed so I was thinking of taking her as a belated birthday present.
My son (6) has a close buddy at school, which is great, but this kid likes to egg DS on and they get into trouble for disrupting the class a fair amount. DS asked me if we could invite friend over on the weekend. Should we… not be encouraging this friendship? He’s the first kid DS has wanted to hang out with outside of school, so we’re happy about it. I just got the other mom’s phone number at pickup, she seemed into the idea of hanging out (we only spoke briefly). Not sure how to proceed. Thanks!
Just looking for commiseration or advice. Also, is this totally normal? My 7 year old daughter has been pretty rude/defiant lately, to me and her dad. Still an angel at school and with other adults. She’s very smart and advanced academically. She’s never been a meek kid, but generally is a rule follower and will do what you ask (even if not always the first time). But this past weekend was really bad. We were trying to leave a birthday party and she would just not listen. She was running away from me back into the party to “say goodbye” (she had already said goodbye multiple times and everyone else was leaving too). Later in the evening we were on a walk in the neighborhood and ran into some neighbors who have similar aged kids. She and the older neighbor girl were being really rude to my husband, accusing him of being bossy, etc., and it was nearly impossible to get her to go inside our house when we got home for dinner. I realize she’s 7, but I think the toughest part is that when we tell her her behavior is not acceptable, she accuses us of being terrible parents, that she hates us, etc. Previously if we told her she needed to behave, she would typically apologize. Now she acts like we are the problem. I remember acting like this but maybe not at this age.. maybe a bit later like 10 or 11?
TIA!
I would like to find a tutor to work with my 4th grader in math. She’s been tested as gifted (much higher in verbal vs math), but also has adhd. She’s doing okay in math, but she’s definitely not really mastering the material and sort of white-knuckling through it to get ~70-80%s. She’s just above where the school would flag for intervention and frankly, I’m not super impressed with the school so looking for an outside party.
What I’d really like is for someone to review 4th grade math with her and see where the gaps are, then focus there and take an approach that works with an overconfident kid with attention issues.
How do I find this type of tutor? I have lots of names of math tutors but I think I want someone with a certain type of approach or experience.
FWIW, my husband is really good at working with her and says basically she needs to do enough practice that the responses are second nature or else she over thinks things and starts to confuse herself. He does have trouble as a tutor because he doesn’t know the school curriculum so isn’t really able to use the same language or strategies that are taught in the classroom.
We have talked to both the classroom teacher and the math coach at the school and they aren’t getting us what we need (eg she isn’t failing, don’t worry, play some math games online, etc) so a tutor is our next step. We can see she’s going to have trouble down the line since she’s just winging it to get by right now.
Am I missing the point of bentgo boxes? I have three different kinds and I don’t really like any of them. The hinged ones create so many larger pieces of dishware that I have to wash since the whole case is one enormous piece. Even the non-hinged ones are bulky. And the stackable ones leak.
Happy first Monday after daylight savings time. ~yawns~
In this weekend’s adventures, we moved DD from her low loft bed to a regular twin bed (a change she was excited about) and then last night… cue sad weeping because she missed her old bed. I think she is secretly an orangutan who loves a good tree nest, so we’re brainstorming ways to make her new one feel more nest-like.
