This morning while dropping Ker off at extended day, there were two kids playing chess with several onlookers/hecklers watching. As I walked by I hear one kid stage whisper, “Don’t! It’s a setup!” to the kid about to make a move. It was so pure. Like whatever is going on in the world, at 8am in this elementary school cafeteria these little kids were wrapped up in this chess game and cheering on their friends. It was a lovely start to the day.
Need Easter basket ideas for my 12 year old nephew and 13 year old niece. I’m thinking candy plus some pastel nail polish, scrunches, claw clips etc for niece, but don’t really have ideas for nephew. He likes soccer, cross country, brain teasers, games and Spanish. They both like to read so I can throw a book in there too.
this whole parenting thing is not for the faint of heart. one of my twins has been having lots of intense meltdowns lately. on saturday she and her sister were playing around on their Nugget and she kept trying to do this somersault thing that her sister was doing and she couldn’t do it and became hysterical that it’s not fair that her sister can do it and she can’t and she wants to do it too, etc. My heart broke for her because truthfully there are a lot of things involving fine and gross motor skills that her sister can do and she can’t. Then yesterday I took them to a Purim carnival and there was a raffle with prizes and one twin was fixated on the prizes and could barely enjoy any of the other activities as she waited for them to call the numbers and of course hers wasnt called….and then hysterics for 20 minutes. I found a quiet corner to sit with her and let her cry and I was grateful that the other twin was doing an unusually good job of being a bit independent bc her sister usually doesn’t want her around when she is upset.
Any recommendations for low-stakes, friendly kids’ books? My 5yo and 7yo have been enjoying kids’ chapter books from a bit longer ago — Half Magic, Babe, Mr. Popper’s Penguins. But they often reject more modern books (Dragon Masters, Magic Treehouse, Ivy & Bean). I’m trying to diagnose the issue — I think it’s that the older ones are very low-stakes with no “sass.” They are just about nice kids/people in situations that are a LITTLE bit magical/unusual. Anyway, I would love any recommendations for more modern books with this kind of low-key vibe that I can read to them (we have had success with Jasmine Green Rescues). I have no inherent objection to books published in the 1950s but it would be nice to not have to stop every other sentence to explain archaic vocabulary to the 5yo.
Potty training advice, please.
DD is 3, and has been potty trained for some time now. We did daytime first, then she demanded no night diapers. With the help of a “dream pee” at about 11 pm she was dry through the night. Then, she started having night accidents even with the dream pee, so we cut the dream pee. It got better for a period, but now she’s wetting the bed almost every night. Any suggestions? We’re trying to avoid any water/liquids an hour before bed. I’ve tried talking to her. I don’t think she’ll keep a pullup on at this age/stage. She hates being cleaned off after, and I have her help me clean up the bed/sheets. I’ve tried bribing and positive reinforcement but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Anyone want to help me find something to wear for outdoor family photos? I’m a size 14 with a large chest, so but I want something that shows I have a waist. No crop tops or tucked in shirts. I’ve been browsing, but haven’t seen anything I like.
Best pullups in size 4t-5t for overnight use? My almost 4 year old has leaked twice in the last week and it is a huge pain because we have to change all the sheets in the middle of the night. She won’t consent to sleeping on a towel or anything like that and she’s a wild sleeper in a double bed. I’m having a hard time finding “overnight” pullups in this size and we already add a spoosie pad to the daytime ones.
Having some friends over for a housewarming/see our baby party. Most of them have kids ranging 0-9 years old. My oldest is 2 so I have no idea what kids older than that like or eat. What kinds of snacks or drinks should I have on hand? Juice boxes? Bags of chips?
Do I need to get some sort of activity to entertain the older kids (girls, if that matters)? Or will the older kids sit with an iPad or entertain themselves with whatever toys we have.
Looking for affirmation and solidarity we are going through the 6th sickness in my house in the last 3 months. Have a 6year old and 1 year old. I’m just so done I want everyone healthy and everything chugging along 😊
Where do you buy your swimsuits? I’m usually a tankini kind of gal.
I’m so exhausted by my ex. I’ve divorced the dude and yet, I’m still dealing with his stuff all the time. My kids see him every other weekend from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. Yesterday, my oldest was upset when he came home because he wanted to do an activity on Sunday, and their dad said that it was too expensive. As my son and I sat on his bed to talk about it, my son noticed something on his sock. He smelled it, made a face, and said, “mom, it smells like that stuff from the bathroom at the ski lodge.” Low and behold, my 12 year old had P%T on his sock. I texted my ex, who responded that his live-in girlfriend uses but never while the kids are around. I’m not interested in what they do on their own time, but I’m upset that my kid had access and it got on his clothing. My son also said that their house smells really bad – either of heavy sprays of GF’s perfume or “the bad smell.” Their dad is already on remote alcohol monitoring during his parenting time because he dropped off my kids last fall, and I could smell the alcohol coming off of him.
