If it’s twice a week then it’s a GOOD week. Daytime sex only. During lunch, nap time or right after drop off. No one touch me after the sun goes down

Before 6am or it doesn’t happen. I haven’t figured out when to workout when kids aren’t sleeping well or if working late bc then it’s impossible

Super goop glow stick!!

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

Exciting!! I would say…

1. a short goodbye and focus on the positive. End with “I’ll see you at the bus stop/car pick” or wherever
2. the books The Invisible String and The Kissing Hand
3. have them practice opening their lunchboxes, unpacking their snack etc
4. shoes without laces unless they can tie their own shoes
5. leak proof water bottle-truly leak proof
6. meet the other parents as quickly as possible!

I also want to add that my OB told me the average amount of times that a mom has sex before her baby is 6months old is ONE. One time in the first 6 months of postpartum

Favorite date night ideas that don’t revolve around alcohol? Would be interested in girlfriend meet ups that aren’t happy hour too.

My husband’s family has 7 cousins under 5yrs old. Where would be a great destination where everyone would be reasonably happy?

I haven’t read that book but I recently signed the wait until 8th pledge. The reason I signed is bc there isn’t a single piece of literature/research that supports smartphone adoption for kids. Curious to hear what others are experiencing!

My 8yr old needs to learn to swallow pills for medicine. Any advice?? It’s not going well

@Purple-Cat 1000% you’ll never go back

My son has hit the weight for a booster seat but not the age. Does anyone know if this is an “either or” or an “and” situation? We’re in Texas.

Pikopeyes, play street museum, ninja course

Yes, we have really enjoyed Factor. It takes a few weeks to figure out your ordering flow. We wasted food in the beginning but are doing better now

I started using the skinceuticals CE Ferulic after Xmas. It’s fabulous but it’s $180 per bottle and I’m already out so I’m looking for a more affordable alternative.

Oh gosh haha I don’t know. I think if they are 4yrs old before September 1st. Bc isn’t the rule 5yrs old before September 1st for Kindergarten??
So this year pre-k would be 4yrs old before September 1st 2024. So I think you have one more year before Pre-K.

We’ve always done a flat rate ‍️ “can you babysit 3 nights 4 days xyz is our flat rate per day.” The hourly+flat rate overnight would work too. Prob depends on skill level-career nanny vs college girl

What is your favorite non toxic sunscreen for kids and adults? Preferably easy to apply and doesn’t leave white residue?

Yes! We are certainly not perfect but we have started letting our kids color/journal, read or pick out a game. When they choose a game we all play. Or I’ll play while my husband cleans up dinner or vice versa.
Pictionary, headbandz, mancala, card games etc

My therapist told me an immediate consequence that makes sense for the behavior and is age appropriate. Apparently time outs are real controversial but they seem to work with us, mainly bc it gives my kids time to breathe and regulate.
Exp: using a toy to hit a sibling. Toy goes away or time out from playing for 3 minutes
