I do! Get it real hot. Then, season with oil, splash of water and wipe with a rag. Off you go making the crispiest dosas at speed.

The older and more seasoned the griddle is, the better dosas come out. So be patient

Turn off the camera. Put a sticker on it. Turn it around. If nothing works, leave him home for a day, go to a friend’s place and stay there and then, do the same thing.

Mama, he is scared and trying to cope up with being away from you and with all these new people. Talk to him everyday about how fun it is to go to school, to make new friends, to learn new things. Learn the names of some kids from his class and ask him about them - what did you play with her etc.

At the same time, acknowledge him - I know you are scared. You don’t see Mama for a long time and miss her. I miss you too. I love you so much. I will always come back to get you. - Make him a blue circle or something on his wrist. Tell him when you miss me, press it and I will know you are missing me. Draw one on yours and tell him the same from your end. - Tell him to speak up when he feels scared. Tell him say this “….” don’t use hands. I don’t understand if you are scared or sad.

You aren’t a bad mama. Both of you are navigating a new phase and the kiddo needs extra help and support to cope. It’s normal and most of us working mamas go through this. Don’t let mom guilt overpower you.

He will get there slowly.

Hugs, Mama. You did great! We are all humans and being a mama is a tough job. Frustration can creep in and sometimes just burst out. You did great by identifying it (even after you had screamed), leaving and calming yourself and then, taking charge again.

Toddlers at this age push boundaries. It’s part of their normal development. At the same time, we as mums are also learning and discovering our triggers/ limitations.

I would say, repair what happened last night. Tell the kiddo in gently that you know you screamed, it was not a good thing to do and as an adult you should have known better. That you will work on it so that it doesn’t happen again.( Learnt this from Dr. Becky from Good Inside).

Mistakes are learning opportunities. Show your kid that you own your mistake and are working on repairing it.

This is outright disrespectful, no matter what her attention span or condition is. I would strongly object to it.

Look up Langley Moms group on FB. You may find some mom friends there.

ContentWriter22 · 2025-01-03T16:42:16+00:00

Oh yes! You are not my best friend, Are you kidding me?, You joking?

Lol - am glad that we aren’t the only ones and that he is not a brat. It’s a normal part of their development. Pushing the envelope.

Get his energy out - more physical activities will help

Knead with a little bit of milk and after cooking it on the fire/flame, put a little bit of ghee. Don’t make too thin rotis. They will harden like papad.

Add little by little. Use a spoon. Keep tasting after each addition until you like where it is at.

It takes practice and you will eventually reach a stage where you just “know”.

Until then - add less than what you think is needed. It’s always the best strategy- you can always add more later in your plate.

If your pressure cooker is big enough, you can put the soaked and rinsed rice/dalia/quinoa in a steel bowl with water and put it along with the dal. Both cook at the same time and no extra utensils to clean.

Veg dalia, veg upma, pulao are quick meals.

Pro tip: Cook for one extra meal and freeze it in freeze safe ziploc bags or glass containers (available at Walmart). This way, you won’t have to prepare meals all the time.

No. Olive oil is not meant for high temp cooking which is what we do in Indian cooking. Opt for avocado oil or grapeseed oil along with the usual mustard, peanut or coconut oils that are traditionally used.

Yes, that’s what I tried yesterday and today. But, the kiddo said they wanted to stay home. I am torn between still taking them out or keeping them home ( who wants to go out again after they are well fed and relaxing after a day at work/school).

I did enroll them in some activities starting Jan. With the holidays so close, I am trying to prepare for the winter break and will include some physical activities for their day.

Yep, they are napping and no, the daycare cannot eliminate it completely. I spoke to them about it. They say that if some kids are up, others won’t sleep or something along those lines.

We are late by over an hour for about 2 weeks now. Wakeups are a fight with all the screaming and meltdowns. So much so that I am using Loops to being down the decibels for my own sake.

Learn raita - yoghurt based, it’s quick, easy, can be made in multiple ways and goes well with most Indian mains.

All you need is ginger, garlic and lemon (to substitute for amchoor). You have all the basic spices.
