All the Tea

Tell me about edibles. I’ve tried everything to sleep and nothing is working. Melatonin makes me groggy the next morning. Would love to hear what works for you!

Hi! We have two sons - one is a summer birthday June, and the other is May. Would love any advice on sending our son to kinder on time and him being on the younger side, or holding him back and him being much older. There are no signs around academics or social that would come into play. Hoping for those moms with older kids to offer advice who have been through it!

I think we’re a little young for Harry Potter. Any other recommendations for a fun chapter book or series? Younger elementary aged. TIA!

What is your advice on getting toddler to stop biting at daycare when he doesn’t bite us at home.

Has anyone found success being screen-free in the evenings? Like...parents, kids, teens...everybody. We're all face-first in our phones once 5PM hits (guilty too) and missing out on the ONE time of day when we're all together. Tips to get everyone on board?

Anyone dealing with hemorrhoids after birth? Spill the tea.

I have been considering trying mushrooms for anxiety. Can anyone elaborate on your experience with them?

At what age did you stop brushing your child's teeth and let them do it independently? We tried letting our daughter do it for a stretch of time because it was something she really battled us over... that backfired with multiple cavities. When does it become an age-appropriate task to pass on to them without the big dental bills?

Hi!

We have 3 kids, and my husband go back and forth if we should have a 4th. Everyone says 3 is the hardest number on a marriage and sibling dynamic. Would love advice from families with 3 that went for the 4th, and ones that are just 3. We have a mix of genders - girl, and 2 boys, all under 7. Youngest is almost 3.

Has anyone tried the new Botox that is supposed to last 6 months? Curious about it. I’ve tried Botox and dysport and don’t have a preference fwiw

How to talk to our young kids about what’s appropriate and inappropriate clothing.
For instance, one of my kids, a kindergarten, her friend wears sparkly Taylor Swift sparkly dresses and makeup to school. Having to explain why I don’t feel like that’s appropriate yet her friends mom thinks it’s ok. Explaining why it’s inappropriate, being honest and open about it rather than “because I said so”.

Hi!

I've never tried mushrooms, but I am seeing all the hype about how Moms these days are turning to mushrooms instead of alcohol. Would love to hear others feedback, as well as where do I start?

Obviously, need a reliable source where to get them as well as the types. I don't want to hallucinate or anything!

Coming from a mama who's never dabbled in them and JUST curious!

I know it depends on the kid but I'm really conflicted. I feel like he's ready but everyone holds their kids back these days, I don't want him to be behind just by default of everyone else's choices.

What is your FAVORITE bra that you've found now that you're left with your post-baby boobs? Like...actual bra...not a bralette or a sports bra...

Has anyone had a boob job where they don't actually insert an implant? Wondering if they are able to do some type of lift, and add excess fat or something from somewhere else in the body!! If you live in Texas, its a plus if you have the doctor name you used!

My neighbor told me dollar amount for age. So a 16yr old should make $16 an hour? Is this still fair?
Somewhere between 1-3 kids

I've stopped drinking, but find myself missing the ritual of an evening glass of wine.

As someone who doesn't currently have kids, I would love to know how to actively support my friends that do. I never want to be in the way because I know the "sometimes it's just easier to do it myself" is a real thing.

Favorite podcasts?? I don’t want anything too heavy that uses a ton of brain power, but also don’t want real housewives numb out level. Something in between. I can learn but not have to focus too much.
