I know most people here have younger kids but thinking of anyone with kids (or other loved ones like nieces and nephews) who are high school seniors and getting college decisions this week and next!
Kids gloves/mittens. I know this has come up before, but I can’t find it, or remember how it went! We’ve moved from the Bay Area to the northernish mid-Atlantic and our kids need gloves and/or mittens for daily wear (i.e. not as intense as what they’d wear to ski or something). Ideally these will be more windproof than the cheap stretchy ones I wore as a kid, but I’m also not looking to break the bank–I get that there’s a reasonable chance they’ll get lost.
Something the parenting books don’t prepare you for– my dad is dying and my 3 year old is asking questions like, “How will grandpa get to heaven in the sky?” “Does he drive to heaven?” and “When will he die, will I be able to say goodbye?” She is so sweet, but I am having a hard time handling these questions!
Did adults in your family give one another holiday or birthday gifts when you were growing up? When I was a kid my parents didn’t exchange gifts, or give their own parents or siblings gifts either. Gifts were strictly for children. Is this weird, or was it common back then?
Please help me with Gifts – I still need to get something for my brother – 50s, no kids, avid travel, consumer of audiobooks (all through the library), likes being outdoors but to like sit at a campfire.
Second – 25 year old au pair. We will give her gift cards (athletic brand and makeup store), but she’ll open presents with us, so I need a few things to feel more festive on xmas morning.
It’s happened. I’m officially my mother. My shirt is tucked into my underwear underneath high waisted pants.
How have you become your mother?
Another vent. We’re applying to a private school for both our kids for next school year. There are SO MANY THINGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS for the application! Multiple essays, documents, testing, pictures, questions in portal about the family, etc. Lots of families apply to 4-5 private schools so they have this times 4. How? HOW????
I am being a terrible friend. Not in the “will sleep with your husband” sense, but in the “either replies to your text in 2 hours or after 2 months” sense, and really more of the latter, especially if the text asks for more than a one word reply. I know this is rude. I have been on the receiving end, and it doesn’t feel great.
Not an excuse, but we have a very bad sleeper baby who will only resettle for mom. My sleep is very broken, and my brain feels broken, too. But at the same time, I’m here writing this comment and not replying to the stack of texts from friends that I’ve been ignoring since before Thanksgiving.
I don’t even know what I’m asking. I used to be a good friend, and now I am a bad friend. I guess I’m kind of hoping that maybe someone has advice, or at least can help alleviate some of the guilt. (For the advice, please assume we have made our choices on sleep training already and that my husband is doing all he can to help). Or maybe you can tell me this is being a terrible friend in a way that gets me on the road to fixing it; I don’t mind blunt answers!
I have a silly issue. Moving to a new place without eat in kitchen, just a dining room. We currently have crappy kitchen table where we eat virtually all meals and formal dining room where we do holidays, etc. Our dining table finish is immaculate and the chairs are upholstered in cream silk. Should I just cover the table with protectors & waterproof tablecloth and maybe get chair covers? Should I break up the set and replace the chairs to something without stainable fabric? It’s not an heirloom piece but it is nice enough that I want to find a sustainable medium between keeping it nice and not stressing over spills.
Here’s a stupid hack that might help someone else. I have always anguished over what to write in a holiday card for a teacher — wanting to convey how much I appreciate their help, etc. I get weirdly bad writer’s block, so writing cards for a bunch of different teachers becomes a Very Difficult Task for me. Anyway, I randomly told my Kindergartener to dictate what they wanted to say to the teachers, and then the others followed suit. It was easy. We knocked out cards for 3 different classrooms in like 20 mins. The kids signed their name and/or drew pictures, based on their ages. Message of appreciation still conveyed, gift card tucked in, no mental lift for me. I recognize this is not a difficult task for most people, but if it is – this was a huge time saver. Also, the kids dictated slightly hilarious messages that the teachers will probably appreciate more than what I would have said (“I really like the dinosaur on the wall” was a highlight for me).
What are your favorite pocket-size or travel-size games? Looking for stocking stuffer ideas that will be good for travel. Some of our family favorites are:

We saw a flat this am and put an offer in – we’ve not sold ours yet but they said they could be quite flexible on timing as the house they are buying has been delayed (just round the corner). They also told us we can come round with our son and introduce him to their similarly aged kids. It’s the first flat we’ve seen so a bit mad to put an offer but the location, school, and flat tick all our boxes. The woman who showed us round was glowing about the school – says it’s such a supportive but academically rigorous environment, lots of outdoor play, etc. Fingers and toes crossed for us, please!
Just a little vent. One of the hardest parts of parenting a toddler has been planning and cooking healthy food he will eat. My husband and I both dislike cooking and I refuse to meal prep (planning is OK but not great at it – I’m more used to seeing how I feel on the day). Trying to find a way forward that gives him healthy choices but doesn’t expect us to become people we’re not has been a real challenge! On top of that, I hope to remedy some of the toxic, ED-adjacent food messaging I grew up with myself. Not looking for advice – just a comment on something that’s hard and that I did not expect to be such a factor in our daily lives!
