Thanks for the Disneyland tips! Just back from one day there with my first grader. It was fun but tiring – we were there from rope drop to fireworks. It was one of the busiest days of the year according to crowd calendars (Columbus Day) but the first two hours were very manageable and even after that we managed to get on a decent number of stuff due to Lightning Lane and crowds lessening around dinner time. My kid did complain about the waiting a lot (her first theme park experience was Legoland during low season and she was spoiled by walking onto basically every ride) and some lines did feel ridiculous – we had to wait 1.5 hours to meet princesses even though the app said 30 minutes, although that ended up being very worth it because my kid is obsessed with Frozen and Anna was unexpectedly there instead of over at DCA. On the whole, it was fun and significantly less stressful than I expected. I’m glad we waited until she was old enough to do it without a stroller.

I think I’m depressed. I’m not sure, but I definitely don’t find joy in many things any more. But my life is quite full right now – new job that I’ve realized I don’t like (I’ll be back in my old role in a month); three kids who seem to be on a constant rotation of daycare illnesses; my husband and I have a meh relationship (he’s a good dad, does his share, but two full time jobs plus three kids leaves little for just us besides watching a show 2 times a week); I don’t feel like I have the time or energy to do the things I love to do (besides eat ice cream). I don’t know. I’m unwilling to go on antidepressants, for the loss of sex drive, weight gain and potential dependency. But what would you suggest doing? I suppose I could give myself a strict workout regime, which has worked in the past…

DS is in kindergarten. Over the summer, his BFF’s parents got divorced. Unfortunately, the divorce has been pretty ugly. The mom is rude to the dad’s face if they happen to overlap at school events, and talks freely with other moms about how much she hates him. Her personality is to be frank and funny, which I appreciate even though we’ve never been close, but her behavior has crossed the line into nasty.

Long story short, DS has been talking with me a lot about the divorce. Most of it is very age-appropriate stuff, like questions about living at two apartments and having two bedrooms. But I am dreading the day where it becomes clear DS’s friend is being affected by the nastiness. How would you handle this? Is there a good script I can use?

I want to start explaining to my elementary school child about not letting adults touch privates in a non-scary way. Any book recommendations?

Anyone buy some good new clothes lately? I feel like 50% of my wardrobe is based on recommendations from here. What’s been working for me: Old Navy Taylor wide-leg trousers. So comfortable and I even got complimented on them by one of my undergrads (the highest honor). Banana Republic factory forever sweaters (definitely found via a tip from here). J Crew factory sweater blazers, always.

How do you make a middle schooler more motivated? I have a very smart middle schooler (she’s always been in gifted and talented etc) but she’s constantly rushing through her work and then making Bs. The grades arent terrible but what bothers me is the lack of effort. She says she does her best but then she will study like 30 mins for a. Big test and then make a B- and say she did her best. I worry that school is gonna get even harder as she gets older for her if she doesn’t get in the habit of truly doing her best. I do think a part of the issue is she gets anxious any time the work is hard and then avoids it.

Recommendations for a cup for my 13 month old? We have been using the munchkin 360 cup, but she gets water everywhere with it. I would like something that spills less.

Aww, just picked my son up from basketball camp (it’s October break) and he is so sad that he was the “worst one there…” I suspect the camp primarily feeds from kids who are in the weekly basketball club so they are more advanced. He felt like the other kids were a bit mean about it, it’s mostly run by players who volunteer so perhaps not super well organised. I tried to explain that someone needs to be the worst, and he’s been to 2 days of basketball camp, so can’t expect to be a pro, but I do feel bad for him.

I think some folks in the MetroWest Boston area on this site have had neuropsych evaluations done for their children. Does anyone have a specific recommendation for a provider? This is for a preschool child. We suspect sensory processing issues, possibly ADHD, and speech delay (and are currently getting treatment for speech).
