    My husband and I are struggling to decide where to send our 4 yo son to pre-K next year. There’s a public school right by our house. Ratings are pretty terrible and he would be the minority (both race and socioeconomically) which I’m not opposed to, but something I haven’t personally experienced. There’s two private schools we are considering but both faith based and we aren’t religious. Great ratings but very little diversity.

    I want to give him a great education but also want him to be well rounded and know there’s a world outside his upper middle class white bubble.

    Ughhh how do you decide what’s “right”?

    I know this is kid specific BUT generally speaking, how do you know when/how much to push/motivate your child? One of my kids doesn’t really seem interested in much. Extra curriculars, school work etc I just want them to be interested in something, anything at this point. Not depressed. Would rather just hang out.

    We are a “less is more” for the holidays kind of family, so we typically like to do just one central gift and maybe a book or some pjs etc. Anyone have any unique ideas for a central gift for a 3yo boy? We also don’t do electronics/screens so looking for something outside that box. Any ideas? (He already has a tricycle and a yotoplayer). Heeelllpppopp

    I’m struggling with accepting the reality that the vast majority of moms are given the job of completely planning and running the summer itinerary. This is particularly mind blowing when both parents are working. Why does all the planning, registering, coordinating with friends and driving fall on to moms? Is anyone doing this differently and have advice for how to help me get to a good place about this?

    Is there such a thing?! We have young kids all under 7 and can’t fathom spending the outrageous prices that vail and other places are offering!

    I've been a stay at home mom for the past 6+ years, married for 10 and always relied on my husbands job. I want to start making my own money, saving for trips, bathroom remodel, nice jewelry etc. Where can I find a job that allows me to juggle the house work (laundry, meals, cleaning, drop off, pick up, after school classes etc) and actually make some money? IS THIS A UNICORN I'M LOOKING FOR?

    I have approx. 5 weeks left of maternity leave for my third child. This will be the first time I am returning to work full time in the office (with monthly work travel involved as well). What tips/tricks do you have when it comes to scheduling/managing home and work/childcare hacks/breastfeeding while traveling for work? I’m all ears for anything!
