Family Friday: Kids’ Waterproof Rain Jacket

A good raincoat can make or break an outing. Here’s a rain jacket that rises to the challenge.
This rain jacket from outdoors expert Lands’ End is waterproof thanks to sealed seams. It also packs into its own pocket and has a breathable, mesh lining. Unlike other rain jackets that might feel stiff or uncomfortable, this one feels more like a windbreaker. My oldest has an older version of this jacket and wears it even if it’s not raining — to me, that’s the best endorsement.
Lands’ End Kids’ Waterproof Rain Jacket is on sale for $17.99 and up and comes in “deep sea navy” and “black lightning.” It’s available in sizes XXS 2–3 to XXL 18–20.

It’s normal for 5 year olds to be pretty self-centered still, right? My husband is growing increasingly concerned about our child’s lack of concern for our feelings and needs. This week we were both sick and we couldn’t play with her as much as she wanted and she threw a huge tantrum yesterday and was screaming things like “I don’t care how you feel! I want to play right now so you have to play with me! Who cares if you’re sick!” My husband seems to think we’re raising a budding sociopath. I think it’s developmentally normal and she’ll grow out of it. Thoughts?
What do you do when your kid is bored at daycare? 25 months and still in the 18-24 month classroom because there isn’t enough space in the next class. Earliest he can move up is March. He tells me everyday “too many (new) friends” (the 18 month olds who moved up) and that he wants to go to the other classroom (where the older kids in his 18-24 month old class got moved to).
I’ve also been considering quitting work to stay at home with him (while sending him to a morning program), and maybe now I’m just looking for excuses to do so. (I’m sick of my longgg commute even on a hybrid schedule and quite frankly burnt out by my work).
Reposting as this got stuck in mod:
Getting ready for baby #2 after a seven year gap, so really struggling to remember what we did right after bringing baby home (probably due to the profound lack of sleep at the time). How many sleeping or parking surfaces did you have for the newborn? Were there things that made your life much easier? What was the WORST part and do you have any hindsight on how it could have been improved? I remember lots about breastfeeding (and ultimately exclusively pumping) as it was my worst challenge but I don’t remember much about actual baby logistics.
Advice if you have a kid who is adverse to all sports? My 7 YO son doesn’t like sports. For a couple years we’ve had a rule that everyone in the family does something “active” but the kid can decide what they do and he has done tennis. He grumbles, but he does it. I would like to get him into a team sport though for the various benefits that a team sport can provide and my husband is concerned he’ll decide to try sports when he’s older and lack foundation to learn if we don’t start him now (I don’t understand the logic of this either so don’t ask me about that position lol). Anyway. How bad would it be to just sign him up and offer a prize if he finishes a season and see how it goes? Am I being a stage mom?
Anyone have a child who has been diagnosed with scoliosis as an 8-10 year old? Or were themselves diagnosed with the same? My daughter had her x-ray yesterday and the curve was evident on the screen. I will of course be speaking with our pediatrician, but I am looking for anecdata from other parents.
Experienced moms please give me guidance here with this dumb question. My 10 month old brings lunch to daycare everyday, which includes a mix of finger foods (strips of hummus sandwich, chopped up veggie burger / meatball, etc) and a jar of baby food puree. Until what age do infants routine eat purees or pouches as part of their diet? Trying to decide how much I should be bulk buying vs. trying to move away to just finger foods!
Tots and Pears to any other parents who are currently in the thick of summer camp sign ups. We’ve got coverage through the end of July with one full day camp but now need to negotiate the week by week day camp options for August at multiple locations, very few of which seem to be a full day. And to add salt to the wound my credit card listed the camp fees as ‘person care’ which HAHAHA, sure.
I know there have been sporadic threads here over the years about when to announce your pregnancy at work. I just want to weigh in as a manager that 8 weeks before your due date is TOO LATE. Especially if you have a niche skill set and a key role in a program that will be in crunch time during your planned leave. Obviously I wish her the best, and if someone were out unexpectedly for months we’d figure it out. When it’s foreseeable, though, it’s a better look, professionally, to give your team more time to plan. Now we’re hoping really hard for work reasons in addition to human ones that everything goes well and she doesn’t need to abruptly exit sooner than her due date while we try to identify and onboard a temporary resource with enough time for a smooth transition.
I think cetirizine may be causing one of my toddler twins’ behavior issues (biting). Switching him today. Thanks for the PSA!
Can vouch for this rain jacket. My kid (5YO, size 12, loves playing in the rain) also wears it even when not raining. We’re in our 4th size up. When we first got it I was doubtful because it really feels like a windbreaker rather than a raincoat, but kiddo stays dry.
Has anyone experience with MiSight, the daily contacts claiming to slow progression of myopia in children?
My 7 yr-old is now getting his first glasses with already around a -3dpt correction, so starting fairly high. He has inherited my genes. I had my first pair of glasses at 4.5 yrs old, as an adult now I have a -9dpt/-7dpt correction with the need for extra thin high-index lenses. Saw several specialists as a teenager who were concerned about the fast progression (adding -1dpt/year during age 11-15) and retinal thinning etc. Back then, those contacts didn’t exist. Lasix was never an option for me.
If these lenses work somewhat, I’d consider it for my son, because having such a high correction already at elementary age is not only a concern for eye health long-term, but will be costly in the future (lenses more expensive, Lasix costs etc).
Adding that I’m completely happy with my own journey as a glass wearer as an adult and don’t consider this a major impairment. But there were times in my life as a child 30 years ago where thick lenses and an inability to fully or safely participate in activities (e.g. waterpark without glasses?) just sucked.
Have you had a parent move in with you? How did it go?
