Has anyone here been to Mackinac Island with elementary age kids? We were thinking of going for fall break. It’s a driving trip for us, albeit a pretty long one (~7ish hours to the ferry). I went as a kid but I don’t really remember anything about it except the fudge and a horse drawn carriage ride.
We were at a trampoline park yesterday and an older kid intentionally pushed my 4-year old off a balance beam. My kid fell into the foam block pit below and wasn’t hurt or anything, just a little stunned. If he was hurt, what would you say to the older kid, if anything? In these situations I want to be able to stand up to kids who hurt my son, but I usually dust off my son and take him to another area where we avoid the bully.
Arghh I hate how staggered summer camp announcements are. I don’t want to sign my kid up for a full slate of the early camps and have her miss out on things she really wants to do, but then the late-announcing camps sometimes don’t offer camps the weeks we need or only have camp for a different age group and now we’re looking at two weeks of summer with basically no childcare.
Spring break ideas is the Seattle area with 2 little kids and a grandma? We’re all able-bodied but mediocre physical stamina. Open to anything, but nature and learning are preferred.
Just a petty vent about family drama. My husband’s sister is expecting her first baby in late spring. Husband and I had hoped to visit over the summer with our school age kids when our schedules are all a lot more flexible. SIL now says she doesn’t want us to come in the first 3 months because of concerns about illness, and wants us to come in the fall. It’s really hard for us to travel then (kids are in school and activities but more importantly, my husband is in education and can’t really miss work for personal travel from August through May), so I’m not sure when we will go, maybe not until winter break (although I feel like that’s the start of peak illness season!). Of course my SIL can draw whatever boundaries she wants around visiting and we’ll respect them, but one of my kids was born mid-winter in a very bad flu season and I was really worried about illness too, and they descended on us when I was 1 month postpartum over my objections, citing the importance of extended family meeting the baby early on. I know I need to let it go, but the double standard is so irritating to me.
Would you send your baby back to daycare after RSV, if he were still raspy and breathing a little fast, but otherwise his usual happy self?
Any tips for a good pregnancy nutrition book? Not Lily Nichols, bless her but I’m not doing liver and her book was too fear based.
Others are suffering far more in these tough times, but I’m also pretty upset that the administration’s deliberate infliction of suffering has put so much stress on me during my maternity leave. There is a VERY strong chance I’m going to lose my job, there’s a decent chance my husband will lose his too, and we’re already dealing with some health difficulties with our baby. If Harris had won, things wouldn’t have been perfect, but some business as usual would have been such a balm. Far too many are suffering in this chaos and I worry for the future for my sweet baby.
Can we talk spring breaks? What do your schools have in terms of number of weeks and when? We’ve got a week off in February and one in April here in MA, and I wish it was just one week, preferably in March/early April. These beginning few months are my busiest at work, but in general, it’s hard to swing two full weeks off outside of summer as a working parent. We have them in camps, but it’s just like summer camp in that you have to book early, and it’s logistically more difficult, and the kids complain so we’ll get to hear that twice instead of one week (they ordinarily love going to school/aftercare). We could probably more easily swing one week off for one week of spring break, but this two weeks spread apart is just becoming more annoying.
my first grader just doesn’t like to focus on the math worksheets/quizzes at school and she unfortunately has a teacher who grades everything on a 100 scale. recently they took some kind of standardized assessment, and she scored extremely high, but her grades don’t correspond. her recent grades are: 80, 60, 97, 85, 60, 92, 96, 99, 72, 88, 87, 93, 60 – how can someone get a 60 one day and then the next day a 97? (she has almost daily graded math work). I am trying very very hard not to focus on the grades, but I am concerned that her lack of ability/caring about following directions will hurt her down the road. for example, for one of the 88 grades, every single question had the right answer, but her teacher wanted her to highlight the greater than, less than, equal than signs, which she did not do. is this something i try to focus on now? see if she matures in a year and revisit? i know the most important thing is that she understands the material, but part of doing well in school involves following directions.
Weekend report- we went to a friends house and the adults worked on a puzzle and drank cocktails while the kids played, it was really fun and a good indoor activity on a crappy weather day. Holding tight to my friends in these tough times.
