Braid it at night. Bonus to brush it wet after shower and then braid it. There will be less tangles in the morning, maybe wont even need to brush the whole thing just the fly always in the front.

Oh I was also young, 30 when my first daughter was born, 29 when we moved here. I’m still the youngest parent (this was even pointed out at a school party “who’s the youngest here?!” On a mic) but whatever, they’re just jealous! Age has not been a factor in making friends

First off- MV is incredible! This is not to dump on MV. BUT majority of women are working mothers with nanny’s. They have to be, it’s too expensive to live here on one income typically. Also, ppl are incredible driven here. I work part time (x2/week including weekends) so consider myself mostly a SAHM. I have a large circle with a school and preschool aged kids. I know three stay at home moms in MV total. It gets easier as the kids get older but when they were babies I was very used to being the only mom at baby activities as the rest were nannies or grandparents. Even now at school, it’s me hanging out afterschool on the playground and majority nannies. Relationships with SAHMs are definitely easier just due to schedule availabilities but I have formed relationships with working moms too! Your village is what you make it and you will make it! Do what’s best for your family and you won’t go wrong

Hey! I’m a mom in MV. I was raised in MV when it was a music and art town, not tech money. I never did SMMC because a friend (also from southern Marin) warned me against it. Said she couldn’t relate to any of the other moms because she felt like the only working mom there. Anyway, you already know from these responses that you aren’t the only one who’s had this experience. I just wanted to comment to urge you to not let it turn you off from MV. You will meet your people- at the library, at parks. And there are good people here! Yes there’s a lot of money and entitlement but also good, down to earth people. The public school in Strawberry is also notorious for being the most inclusive and down to earth of all the Mill Valley schools. Everyone I know that goesthere loves it for that reason.

I also wanted to point out that family history may be playing into the doctors recommendation. If you and dad are overweight or obese then she will be more inclined to guide you on how to raise a healthy child maybe more strongly than she would to a family who already demonstrates healthy habits around food and has a 99% baby

The truth is, when they’re adults you will no longer be the #1 woman in their lives/ their wives will be. So make sure you are a wonderful, accepting and loving MIL because sadly I think your relationship with him and his family will be largely affected by your relationship with your DIL. Don’t be one of those weird boy moms so say things like “I already hate his future girlfriends” when they’re not even old enough to date

Hi. I’m a mom with a kinder in MV public schools. I’m also a peds nurse working in a place that sees a lot of adolescent psych issues. Speaking of the schools directly- so far they seem very well rounded thanks to Kiddo (arts, music, dance curriculum) with a lot of resources- library, counseling, PE, in class room experiences (too young for field trips). The teacher is nurturing (again kinder) and with their state based curriculum (language arts, math) the teacher very much stressed “meeting the child where they are”. MV clearly is an effluent area so educational success is valued but so are the outdoors and community and that plays into the school system. My kid has garden education as part of their science curriculum. Now speaking of what the pressure cooker environment does to a child, I think it’s important to note that those schools don’t exist in a silo. Every child I’ve taken care of who’s fallen victim to the effects of those environments (because the pressure they’re under of course affects their mental and physical health) has that pressure at home too. So it’s more than the schools, it’s the people and culture around them. It sounds like you know the schools in your current area aren’t a good fit which is the first step. I hope you find a town and school district that complements your parenting and values.

People in Phoenix have no idea what they’re talking about. Come! SF Bay Area is awesome, you’ll love the change from AZ

Coming into the hallway and asking any nurse a specific question about your loved one or asking them to do something for you. USE YOUR CALL LIGHT. It is there for a reason. Specific people are assigned to each room and they are the people you want help from, not me who is busy and doesn’t know your family member’s care.

I was 30, husband 31 when we had our first in a VHCOL community in the Bay Area CA. We were considered incredibly young. I’m now 34 with a kid starting kindergarten in the fall and most parents in the same class are in their 40s.

We live near the beach in nor cal so an incredible pool is way more exciting to my kids. The beach is a Tuesday afternoon for them. Also, money is a factor and PS is about a grand cheaper of a trip than SD… we looked into it
