    We’re looking to hire a night nurse for the birth of our third baby but have never used one before. We feel set on the nurse we’ve found, but I’m curious what the rate should be hourly, how many times you thought you needed one in the beginning (1-6 weeks), any questions we should ask prior to her starting, and just any tips for working alongside one.

    We were quoted $2500 for my 4 year old to get some cavities filled with conscious sedation. (Don’t judge we literally are great brushers). Any way I took his radiographs to two other dentists just to confirm the diagnosis and they both agreed with the proposed plan from the pediatric dentist. So we are 100% going to treat, but I’m now motivated to price shop if that’s even a thing. Willing to drive across the state (we are in ATX). We have FSA funds to cover the $2500 but don’t want to drain that as we have other health expenses too. Any ideas??

    Hi!

    All of my kids friends have electric scooters and some have the bikes too. I have been scared to purchase anything electric with all the horror stories out there. Is there a way to make these safe somehow??

    Send all the tips and advice please!

    Curious, do most people do a flat weekly rate or hourly rate for their summer babysitters? We do hourly right now for the afternoons she helps us but it will add up quickly with her helping us more this summer.

    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.

    Hi! I can tell my kids are all seeking attention from me. Which honestly is exhausting but I know is important.
    I'm looking for ideas on how to fill their emotional buckets that are also enjoyable for me. I do not like imaginary play...eeek.
    Favorite board games, outside games, crafts, date ideas? Hoping to take advantage of this during Summer months.

    Looking for a good, affordable option for a smart watch to help me keep tabs on where my kids are. I have heard good things about the gizmo. Any suggestions welcomed!

    Has anyone done the cat and jack return at target? Does the condition of the clothes matter? Do they have to be styles from within a year?

  • Masturbation in pool

    My daughter is always finding the jets in the pool and pleasuring herself. She also does this in our jetted tub, which I don’t mind as much because it’s in private. She’ll do it in the pool even when we have guests over at times. She’s 8. I haven’t said anything yet in hopes she’ll get over it, but unsure if that’s the right approach. A friend with son told me he did the same in the pool until his early teens. I don’t want to shame these natural sexual feelings or shut something down for her that’s okay for boys. Should I comment? If so, how?
