For those of you with young kids and local grandparents that are healthy, able and willing to help with childcare, how often a month do they help out with childcare? We have one 3 year old who is a very chill child and pretty easy to babysit for (never fights going to bed and is not a picky eater). Two sets of grandparents within 30 minutes. If grandparents watch him, we always provide dinner for everyone. I just feel incredibly guilty asking them, and not know how to shake this feeling if we do more than one 2-3 hour date night a month.
What would you do here? Older kid’s 6th birthday party is tomorrow, first time we’ve done more than 1 friend to celebrate since before covid. We’re planning a relatively chill at home party (cake, crafts, games). But younger kiddo has been coughing all week. Multiple negative covid tests, and not sick enough to miss school until yesterday afternoon when she was lethargic and had a mild fever. We’re keeping her home today to rest, and so far she’s had normal energy, no fever, but still coughing. Do we still go forward with the party? It seems so unfair to big kid to postpone because little kid is sick. And also unfair to ban little kid from the party (we invited siblings because we know all the families pretty well). I was thinking we tell little kid she has to wear a mask during the party or stay in another part of the house (with a parent following her to enforce). I wish we could get her out of the house entirely but it’s going to be pretty cold, and I can’t think of anywhere I could take a germy kid! We would then explain the situation to all the invited families so people can decide what works for them. Or should we just postpone?
Has anyone ever quit a Brownie / GS troop b/c of too much toxic mom drama? One mom really wants her 6th grader to get her Gold Award and cheats at everything even when another adult challenged her on things. She has also yelled at me for not playing along. I think the mom is more into it than her kid (who seems pleasant but now I don’t care to get to know better). I have been helping out so we could have some camping trips (atypical for GS, I think, but my son does Boy Scouts and we have a lot of gear that I know how to use). But I am sort of done. My kid may want to continue but (and I hate that I am saying this), I think that that mom may take it out on my kid if she stays in and I step back. Is this crazy? A LifeTime movie (definitely NOT Hallmark!) yet to be made (so this is maybe Tracy Flick all grown up?). Maybe we find another troop (but my understanding is that if you have a 6th grader, say, not all troops are open to all girls — you must be their desired age and they must be open to accepting someone, you can’t just show up).
This is just a rant, but I’m trying to conceive for the first time. I wish anyone would have warned me how emotional it would be! Both DH and I were surprise babies and it feels like everyone I know got pregnant in the first month or two. I rationally know that there are people who have it way worse than I do, but I wish I could stop getting my hopes up each month.
One of my coworkers is bitter about being childless and doesn’t want to hear about kids. We’re a pretty chatty cube farm: medical and legal issues are fair game for example. But anything more than a quick comment about kids gets rudely shut down, or this coworker storms off.
I skipped any kind of office baby shower and don’t show pictures. But how much should I censor my conversation?
My 5 year old is getting in trouble at pre-K for saying “oh my god” and “oh god.” Apparently I say this a lot and need to figure out how to stop! I did pretty well with stopping swearing when she was born but am finding it much harder to stop this. They don’t even want her saying “oh gosh” which seems pretty benign to me, so anything I substitute has to be more creative than that.
What comes after Elephant and Piggie reading level wise? Is there a series I could order from the library and call it a day?
My son is reading E&P pretty confidently but is coming home with very simple early readers, so we’re working to supplement whatever is happening in the classroom.
Does anyone here live in or around Minneapolis? We are daydreaming about a move to be closer to family (and lower COL). The niblings there attend private Catholic school, which isn’t our jam, so I am curious about your experiences with neighborhoods and schools. Looking for high racial & socioeconomic diversity and a strong sense of community. Currently in a Boston burb that feels like a city (decent public transit & amenities, a growing downtown) and a small town (everyone seems to know everyone else) at the same time, which is great except for housing prices.
When is everyone getting their kids a phone? My kid tells me all her friends are getting one in 5th grade but it seems so early!
