Our rubber non slip bath mat has been getting dark mildew/mold spots on it. I threw it in the washing machine a few times with vinegar and that didn’t take care of it. Any other suggestions? Also when do kids stop needing this…?
I am so sad about my 6 (almost 7) year old daughter. She’s always been very emotional but so caring and sweet but as she’s getting older and asserting her independence, its hard to know if I’m being too controlling. I give her options for the things she wants to do, but we disagree on the frequency of many of these things.
Food – We’ve always been a “healthy” family and i’ve been lucky that my kids would happily eat everything if it wasn’t spicy. As she’s gotten older though, its constant negotiation and complaining about every meal i.e. I want fruit loops for breakfast rather than avocado toast or oatmeal. My response is, sure lets buy a bag and you can eat it once a week for breakfast, but this if of course not enough. She wants Doritos for snack at school rather than fruit, cheese, whole grain crackers or nuts. Again, I say lets buy a bag and I’ll pack doritos as a treat along with some foods that are nutrient dense, but no she only wants the doritos. I don’t want it to be like these “junk” foods are forbidden, but I also dont think Doritos are the kind of snack she needs to be eating most days at school as her sole snack. She also frequently complains about 99% of dinners I make. I always give her a plain boring option like plain toast and banana, but she would rather always eat the dinner I make. I just cant stand the constant whining and complaining through dinner that she doesnt like it, it looks gross, why cant i make hamburgers and kid food that other parents make for their kids etc. and it ruins my evening despite my best efforts to remind myself that she’s a kid and gets to be unhappy.
We disagree about the frequency of playdates (I dont have the capacity to deal daily with the extra work required to have neighbor playdates with a 4 and 6 year old who are often tired and cranky after school as am I after work but we typically do once monday-thursday and daily friday, saturday, and sunday) but this is not enough as she asks daily to go play. The 10-15 minutes of homework/reading practice monday through thursday is a struggle and why does brother get tv time without homework etc. It makes me sad when her 4 year old brother says “I love you, have a great day” in the morning and she just ignores him and keeps walking and tells him frequently that hes the most annoying person ever. He is annoying in the ways little brothers are and we correct him, remove him etc but it’s an outsized reaction many times.
I’ve always prided myself on having boundaries, but being warm and open and patient with their feelings. As she’s getting older, I cant help but wonder if she forgets that i’m a person too thats really just tired and questioning if I’ve been too “gentle”
I find the best travel advice here. My family (two kiddos – 5 & 7 year old) is planning a long weekend in Baltimore in early June. Any suggestions for fun activities? We’ll have access to a car. Big plans for crab cakes and not much else so far.
This weekend we’re taking 2yo to a national park that DH and I have visited many times. The main event will be a short hike, but after that we will need some downtime before we get back in the car. There are covered picnic tables on cement pads, but fairly little space to just run around (steep cliffs and highways on either side).
What kind of activities would you take? Sidewalk chalk seems questionable for a natural area; playdoh would just fill up with dirt…
My 3.75 and 7 year old share a room and go to bed between 8-830, awake around 7am. But the youngest one is still napping so we’re entering the stage where I cannot get him to stay in bed at nap time. He’s coming out over and over and over again. I let them listen to a podcast story. I even let him have a small toy in bed. Is there anything else I can do except wait for him to age out of nap?
does anyone have a kids globe to recommend? one of those interactive ones?
thank you all yesterday for your kind and helpful comments on my post about my daughter who is struggling. for these other twin moms (realize this can also come up with siblings) – how do you balance one kid’s needs against the other one’s? like one kid can handle multiple extracurricular activities but other can’t. do they each only choose 1? then i feel like i’m holding back one kid, but it seem almost impossible to explain how one kid can choose multiple and the other can only choose 1? i most certainly do not believe that twins need everything to be equal – that would just be setting myself and my kids up for for failure, and wouldn’t make sense as different kids need different things and we try our best to teach them as individuals.
I have an AuDHD (just learned that term) 5 y.o. and receive constant complaints from school and caregivers. His preschool as has asked that he be picked up after the half day (he was asked to leave his first school, this is his second) – luckily we have a backup nanny (for now) but she is also at her wit’s end – he does a lot of physically dangerous testing and as he gets bigger it’s been harder to stop him. We are doing all the therapies. I feel like I’m constantly on edge about him and have no time to focus on anything else (I do have a pretty flexible job, but even this is feeling like too much right now). My partner is 50/50 on everything for him but it is still so hard to manage. We had zero clue about what to expect for his IEP and got totally screwed (we are calling another meeting). I do some 1:1 time everyday but it feels like it’s never enough, but we have another younger child to care for too. Parents ahead of me in this boat – does it get easier? What helped you?
My 1.5 screams whenever and writhes whenever he has to go into the car seat, which we do twice a day every day for at least 20-25 minutes. I don’t know why this is still happening. Any ideas or suggestions to make it easier? Sometimes I throw snacks at the problem but that’s not always the right approach.
I’m 7 weeks pregnant and I am not getting anything done at work. Between the exhaustion and the voice in the back of my head saying “OMG I’m pregnant!” it’s difficult to concentrate on anything else. Any tips?
