Has anyone ever had a kiddo in daycare need medicine during the day? Our daycare says it cannot give them to kids even with a prescription and doctors note. I guess my only option is to find time to go over lunch and give them myself? What do people do in this situation?
Has anyone used the Snoo? Thoughts? It’s a loan from a family member so cost isn’t a factor.
Does anyone have tried and true methods for teaching someone how to tie a shoe?
My six year old’s hiking boots only come with the laces option and I’d love for him to try to learn this basic life skill before I get the non-tying laces.
But on that note- do non-tying laces really get the shoes snug?
My first grader now has a chromebook from school and he is obsessed with playing various games on it. Mostly prodigy. He is not allowed to watch youtube but his teacher will suggest he search certain things on the internet like live views of animals which can lead him to youtube. He’s pretty good about telling me right away and asking if it’s ok to watch. This morning he had a new request. Roblox. I know it’s semi-educational but I’m not sure if I want to allow him to play. I can try to put guardrails on time spent but I know that can be hard to implement. What are people’s thoughts on Roblox? Can outsiders communicate with him? I’m clueless.
We need to buy another stroller and I’d love some recommendations. We currently have a Nuna TRVL which we like, but she uses the bar in the front to pull herself and the seat forward and I don’t like that. Any recs for a stroller mostly used for walks, something sturdy and hopefully cheaper than the Nuna. Thanks!
When did you know to purge your baby things/clothes? We had baby2 and not planning on thinking about baby3 for at least 3 years. Not sure if I should keep these things “just in case” or start donating/selling the things as baby2 grows out of them because what’s the point of holding onto clothes/toys for the hypothetical third child?
FWIW kids are 2 years apart and we knew we wanted the second fairly quickly (and lucky enough that it happened) so I held onto everything.
This reminds me of Abbott Elementary!
We had our first case of forgetting about a school theme day today. It was bound to happen sooner or later, but that didn’t make it any more fun to see my kid crying. Feeling the mom guilt big time today :(
Rant ahead. Looking for commiseration/advice. How do parents of middle schoolers manage? Kid is going to middle school next year and there is no more aftercare. It will hard to get work done if they come home at 3 pm with interruptions, and the activities/driving are a lot. What do other parents of middle schoolers do? I feel like parenting only becomes more intense as they get older. I can only imagine what is ahead as they become teenagers.
