Ask if they are playing soccer at recess. my seven year old has a hole in every pair of plants at the exact some spot on his right knee from being goalie / diving / slide tackling. (sometimes also wear on the thigh). :)
My 8 year old is constantly getting holes in his clothes. I buy him rugged brand pants (LL Bean, Lands End) with reinforced knees, even high-quality brand pajamas (Hanna) have holes in them after a few weeks! I don’t think this is normal wear and tear, I think he must be intentionally or absent-mindedly needling holes in the fabric with a pencil, scissors, or his fingernails. When I scold him he is very sheepish and apologetic. We try to be mindful of our environmental impact, so I don’t want to buy him cheaper clothes and just expect to constantly replace them. We live in a cold climate, so I can’t really send him to school with holes in his pants to have him live with the consequences. Is there something else to be done? I am so sick of spending money and time to buy quality clothes only to find holes in them within a few weeks. Ugh.
Anyone have tips for telling a teenager that you and your spouse are divorcing? Or resources about this?
Anyone want to toss out suggestions for a multi-generational spring break trip next April? Constraints are two pretty active 70-year-olds, two neurospicy elementary kids (ADHD, anxiety, not officially diagnosed autistic but one likely would be if we pursued it), and an 11-month-old. The big kids don’t have the temperament for lots of museums; the grandparents don’t want to just sit around on a beach all day. Needs to be within the US because the baby likely won’t have a passport by then. Past hits have been Monterey (lots of hiking), Italian lakes region (ditto), Copenhagen (kids love palaces if not more “boring” museums), and Paris (city wandering is good when there are pastries and playgrounds for motivation).
Currently on the list is Puerto Rico, but any specific recs for there or ideas of other places?
I’m feeling sad that my DH does not want a third kid, and I do. Our kids are 4 and 2. This weekend I’m packing up some baby clothes to hand down to a dear friend, and I’m grieving the big family that I wanted. I think it’s important to hand down the clothes lest I maintain an unrealistic hope that my husband will change his mind. I don’t want to raise with him that I’m sad because he may think I’m trying to convince him otherwise. That in itself makes me a bit sad, too, that right now we are both too sensitive to our own feelings and positions to give the other one the full space to express theirs.
Today I am thankful to be wearing a shirt that says “Mental Health Matters” as a reminder to give myself the permission and grace to make a tough, unpopular choice to protect my mental health. I’m not going to share the choice here because I am too fragile to be flamed for it. But this is your friendly reminder that mental health is health, and we all need to protect it. Happy Friday.
Hi! Good morning!
I posted re OT/my almost 4-year-old and want to respond to the very kind and thoughtful post that the mom of a “caboose” 5-year-old shared last night. Mostly just to say…thank you. Your post brought tears to my eyes. I wish we could go for a coffee or glass of wine, but maybe the fact that we are anonymous helps us be more open in a way.
I still want him to do *something* that will help his motor skills, and I’m not sure what that looks like (including just a lot more playground time as an option; they do a LOT of circle time and seat work in his class currently, now that I have thought about it). I also have heard a lot about the link between ST/OT so that’s also something I’m considering. I feel like all I’ve done in his (short) life is had to issue spot and it’s just so unfair to him and me, and all involved (including this board, ha).
Any tips on resetting my 5 year olds sleep schedule? Hes been awake at 530 or earlier every day for 1.5 weeks, today wad 450 am. He plays quietly in his room but the extra hour+ of sleep is affecting his behavior in school, I’ve gotten two emails this week. He’s usually a solid 7 pm to 615 am type sleeper and he’s still going to sleep at 7, but has been falling asleep while reading at 645. I’m assuming it’s with the “fall back” time change and we had the same issue last year at this time with behavior, blah, but I didn’t connect it to sleep and now I’m wondering how to get him back on track.
