My 4-year old says “What the…” at home a lot (and likely at school, too.) He doesn’t finish the sentence. This doesn’t bother me. Is this something you would address with your kid?
I think I need a pep talk. We potty trained DD in January when she was 2 yrs 8 mos (May birthday). It was the weekend before she changed rooms at her Montessori from the toddler room to the preschool room and our ped said it would be fine and we thought having the majority of her classmates potty trained would help. She’s also our second, and had been using the potty intermittently and was excited to wear undies. It was not great, but was improving. Friday evening she pooped in the potty of her own choice and we thought we turned a corner. The next day, she stopped using the potty. Just stopped. Would pee her pants, let us know, didn’t seem upset, carried on. She did this all weekend. Tuesday morning for school we gave her the choice of a pull-up or undies and she chose a pull-up. For this whole week, we have put a pull-up on her in the morning, and after her nap, she asks school for undies. She keeps her pull-up dry but pees in her underwear in the afternoon, and/or at home. I think this is because there is less routine in the afternoon at school of all kids going to the bathroom together. When we’re home, I am basically just waiting for her pee or poop her pants so that I can put her in a pull-up again. If I try to be proactive about asking or telling her to go potty or switching from undies to a pull-up, I get near-tantrum levels of resistance. So I’m just letting this be what it is for now, but I feel like we failed potty training and she’s so behind her peers who do not seem to be having these issues.
Ugh, so laying down with my 4 year old last night did not work. He didn’t go to sleep until I left the room, and it was later, AND he cried.
He also came into our room at 2 AM, and then was upset at 4 AM when we told him it wasn’t time to wake up.
Is there anything to do here except power through? Luckily tonight he’ll sleep with sibling, so the going to bed part will be relatively fine.
How do you feel about the (what seems to be a pretty common) practice of people who are close to your kids remarking in a jokey, teasing sort of way about low key obnoxious, but pretty kid typical things that come out of your kid’s mouths? Especially common in the toddler/preschooler era when kids don’t have much of a filter about things they say. I think I’m too sensitive, but it bothers me. I’m sure it’s coming genuinely from a place of humor — but aligned with some comments last week where posters were saying that they don’t make even jokey complaining statements about their kids, I just find it to be a dig on my kids, which I don’t like – even if it’s done in a backhanded, gentle way. I have two people who I spend a fair amount of time with (family in-law) who do it regularly, and I guess I need to hear that it’s not necessarily a dig on my kid (if that’s true) or that I’m too sensitive (which has also been true in my past).
A kid walked into our local high school with a BB gun this am. He’d been expelled and came back today. No one was hurt but gosh, I’m Columbine generation and thought this wasn’t something I had to deal with in Scotland.
For wedding planning, there are all sorts of calendars, like, you’re 8 months out! Time to book the florist! You’re 6 months out! Time to choose a band!
Is there a pregnancy equivalent?
It’s at that point where winter in the Northeast is slightly kicking me in the pants. We’ve been skiing (which has been great! Love it!) but skiing with 3 small kids at our cute little local mountain is not what one would call ‘relaxing’ by any stretch.
I’m having these cravings to go someplace for some sun; however, we hadn’t planned on that for a few reasons – 1. we were supposed to be taking a big trip in April, 2. Husband can’t really take more than a day off right now, and 3. General anxiety re: the economy.
This week at work has absolutely kicked me in the butt and somehow I’m feeling like I just desperately need a break… Trip that as supposed to be in April has to be delayed because there’s a big issue with getting youngest kiddo a passport, so now that seems to be gone.
I’m having these fantasies of just doing like a long weekend at the beach, but am I being irresponsible for being willing to have my oldest kid (3rd grade) miss a couple days of school for this? (FWIW, kiddo is doing great academically but will have to miss time later this year to get tonsils out.). I think I just need a reality check or a ‘go do it’ or something.
We’re considering hiring a nanny to cover a 2-month gap between when my parental leave ends and when a spot in daycare opens for our baby. Is that time period long enough that we need to do a formal system for taxes and social security? We’re looking at $25-28 per hour, 40/week, for around 12,000 total.
These sandals look like tripping hazards to me.
