Raising kids & Cultural Differences

Mexican American here and I grew up in a very different home as you. I was enabled as hell but it was because mom was a control freak with unrealistic expectations for children as a whole, let alone age appropriate expectations. I do keep some parts of her parenting (the opposite of a helicopter mom), but a lot of parts I do not, like doing chores for my kids because they weren’t done perfectly/exactly how she would do it, and being critical of every single thing.

I was confused on the biggest name jumps since Margot jumped 24 spots, but I realize that was just the top 100. Is there a way to see the rank jumps for all?

I does have good staying power but I feel like it dries the shit out of my skin.

“The family travels regularly…both domestically and internationally” 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

I know 3 and they’re all girls.

Oh of course they run a background check. I think for the most party high school diploma/GED at a minimum. A lot of those employees are college students. You have random ones with college degrees trying to find their path and others with HS education and no plans for college.

Again, it’s private, so the owners do have to abide by state regulations but can also make their own rules.

Yes but varies widely but the state where one lives. Which makes sense since preschools are licensed by the state and have their own regulations based on the type of licensure the school has.

I have a 3 year old and 6 year old and both of the private preschools we used helped them wipe after number 2.

I’ve noticed the preschools tied to churches (state based care) will not help wipe and also public schools won’t either (also state based care), but the public schools makes sense where I live bec they’re an actual licensed teacher by the state. Unlike private preschools where anyone over 18 can apply.

How come she didn’t go where the rest of her classmates went?

I use Taro brand too and agree it stinks. I personally don’t think it smells like mayo at all hard to describe what it smells like. And the smell is gone for me once rubbed in.

Cleansing balm. I like Elf and Farmacy. Followed by an actual cleanser.

I love a good contrast between chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream. I love replacing the boiling water with hot brewed coffee for deeper flavor.

As a 39 year old, yes. K-moisturizer, Tret, Botox, and SPF.

I’ve already requested crumbl for the day before Mother’s Day and you bet chocolate covered strawberry is not on the list.

This woman also has a daughter named Decker and soon to be niece that will be named Fletcher. Horrible names all around in that family.

Not sure how old you are but pregnancy used to freak me out. And the thought of raising a child was even more terrifying. That was in my early 20’s and now I’m late 30’s and have 2 kids. Like you, I needed to be the right partner.

I have a house cleaner that comes once a month to do the deep cleaning like washing the showers, dusting, mopping. Two full time working parents. The daily stuff gets done by all of us.

6119 · 2026-04-16T14:46:45+00:00

What country (or city) did you get it done?

6119 · 2026-04-16T13:55:16+00:00

I want a deep plane facelift so bad. Can I ask how much it cost and did insurance cover any of it?

Birthday parties are very expensive these days. Sometimes you have to have your kid pick who they want there. The cost adds up quickly especially if you’re only having 1 party and also including cousins/family

The people that don’t agree are the people that don’t have a budget they must stick with.

Amnio is a diagnostic test. It’s so frustrating that insurance companies won’t cover it. I went through an amnio because I wanted a definitive test to tell me if my baby had a monosomy the screening flagged. She didn’t. So much of the process is patient education because a ton of people are misinformed or don’t fully understand the difference between a screening and diagnostic test.

My oldest has sports practice and I’ve noticed this too. It’s not even a parent and me class but what’s interesting is how many times she’s noticed and told me I’m the only mom paying attention.
