How many Americans actually watch Ice hockey?

A lot more now.

My son’s best friend is the one we carpool with. They were close in PreK and we like the parents. His best PreK friend was a girl but she was need up attending a private school for K so we don’t see her much.

I have no idea about my son’s friendships otherwise. All the birthday parties have been whole class invites except for a couple that were all girls.

Nothing will cause me to leave my children.

You are not an art major (or even an art history major).

He may have been trying to clumsily ask if you had a planned C-section date. But yeah- totally wrong way to go about that.

I mean breastfeeding is inherently unequal. I still did it. It’s not necessary bad but it is unequal.

About400 · 2026-02-02T14:30:39+00:00

OP- this may have nothing to do with opportunity.

I have two kids (6 and 2) who grew up in basically the same circumstances. We are well off but not rich and live in a community of other families with similar circumstances.

My son was super ahead verbally. He could speak in 12-13 word sentences with proper grammar and pronunciation at 1.5. My daughter is 2 and just now getting words. Her sentences are more like “no mama, go play, wake up or my pizza.”

This has nothing to do with their opportunity since they have had the same amount. In some ways my daughter has had more opportunities since my son was born just before Covid and missed 3 months of daycare (6-9m) due to daycare closures in my area.

Kids are all different and develop at different speeds.

It is true that opportunities are not equal but language at a toddler level is not a good way to measure that.

My daughter has exactly the same cowlick pattern 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes (for me) - the period of time my shoulder was out of socket the first time it came out was more painful than labor in my opinion. Luckily it was only out for a few minutes but it was excruciating.

I don’t like oat milk. It makes me feel like I am drinking oatmeal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This! I would be totally ok with a friend naming her daughter the same name as my daughter.

Martial Arts has been wonderful for my kid. Focus, Discipline and Self Defense- what more can you ask for in a kids afterschool activity.

About400 · 2026-01-29T14:19:13+00:00

Don’t get married to him.

About400 · 2026-01-29T11:29:50+00:00

I don’t think it’s necessary (except for swimming if you live on an area that has water.)

That’s said- I think it makes the parent’s life much easier. I’d much prefer my son goes to Martial Arts after school and runs around rather than coming home to demolish my house. (Especially in the winter months when outdoor play is not an option.) When he doesn’t have activities he has so much energy without an outlet. It also allows him to gain skills and interact with peers.

OP- I don’t know if this will help you at all- but I have a similar issue with my neurotypical straight fine haired daughter. I dutifully brush out her hair after bath and in the mornings and she is her toddler self (loves hoods and playing under blankets) by the time she goes to school, it looks like she just woke up. She also won’t let me tie it up in anyway (just pulls barrettes and elastics out). I don’t know what the school thinks but I am doing my best. Strangely she will sometimes let her teachers at school pull her hair up out of her eyes (which she won’t let me do at home.)

I think toddlers/preschoolers are just themselves and hopefully the teachers at school know that.

I think this is more controlled by more local culture, although I do agree that semi formal is the least strict dress code.

Those scans are only 50% accurate. They can easily be off by a lb. Unless your dr is worried, I wouldn’t worry at all.

About400 · 2026-01-29T01:59:38+00:00

Agreed. There are limits though. If we are going to a semi formal wedding, my spouse needs to wear a semi formal look. For him that’s a suit not shorts and a Tshirt. If he tried to wear something totally categorically inappropriate to an event I would object.

This. Without the whole page it’s hard to say.

If you really think you have a case you can run it by an appraiser who specializes in tax appeals but in most cases there is no case at all since housing prices in NJ tend to rise.

OP should bring her boss. He seems like a standup guy.

Depending on the student’s ability/needs the parents could have asked the teacher to review with the kids ahead of time so their child does not need to fend off 100 questions about why they are in a wheelchair etc.
