    Waiting to hear from the doctor but we’ve had flu in our house and our nearly 9 week old has a fever and I’m just putting two and two together at this point. Any advice? I know there’s not a lot to do except Tylenol (as directed by doc), and monitor her breathing and hydration/eating/demeanor, and watching her fever generally but…any tips or encouragement welcome!

    Pregnant with my first baby! Looking for stroller recommendations.

    Comparing uppa baby vista vs ridge vs doona!

    We live on a trail and like to walk outside and jog. It’s mostly paved. Would prefer something easy to assemble etc.

    What is the best tablet option these days? I know a lot of people have Amazon fire tablets (I don't find them user friendly), but open to them. Would love more info on certain models etc. .

    Last Saturday I was woken up by my teenage daughter (15) sneaking back into the house at 4:00 AM smelling like alcohol and then discovered she had taken a bottle of vodka from our liquor cabinet.

    I am going through a lot of emotions about it—scared, angry, sad, disappointed are a few—but not sure exactly how to approach the situation. My main concern is her safety and just want her to ask me and communicate with me about risky behavior.

    Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or where this is headed!?! Please help!

    Curious how people pay babysitters if they are staying overnight. Do you pay the same rate for when the kids are asleep? Flat rate?

    We've worked hard to foster a family community where our kids don't feel like they need to be in competition with one another, but they're close in age and the same gender, so it seems to be happening some anyway. Usually it's over dumb stuff like who gets to pick the first song in the car or open the mailbox, but I wish I could make it stop! Would love any tips. It's not ever a huge deal, but it happens enough times throughout the day to frustrate me, and it's not a pattern i want to continue.

    Minecraft

    I know nothing about Minecraft, but my daughter is obsessed with having this game on her iPad. My husband turned off chat feature etc. but I’m still uneasy. Is this game appropriate for a 1st grader? We limit iPad time to one day per week for specified amount of time.

    Thoughts on a Trampoline

    Curious to know your thoughts on a trampoline for the kids?! We love the idea, but worry about injuries or having friends come over and get injured. Do you have one? What do you think about this? Are we worrying too much?

    Obsessive cleaning 5 year old? OCD?

    Hi! My 5 year old cleans to self regulate. He’ll vacuum the car, make his siblings beds and during free time at school he likes to sweep. He feels so much better when things are tidy! And also feels very yucky when things are messy or dirty. He literally lugs our huge vacuum up the stairs on weekends and vacuums everything. Our car is the cleanest minivan a mom of 3 kids 5 and under has ever seen! I have two other kids (and he’s a twin) so I believe it’s just in his nature and hoping it’s not me, but at what point do I need to be concerned about OCD tendencies? Anyone else have kids obsessed with cleaning? Or have older children who grew out of this phase? No idea what to tag this lol

    Kid friendly Spotify stations

    Tell me some favorite (not Kidzbop) Spotify stations for elementary kids, specifically 5 year old girl and 8 year old boy. One more round of Uptown Funk might send me over the edge. 🤪

    Two-year old only wants to be held

    My 2yo only wants to be held most often. It's exhausting especially when I want to make food or a meal or just get anything done. She has older siblings so does have entertainment (lol), and I'll set up playdough or a coloring project for her. But looking for any other tips or suggestions!
