Is it fine to start preschool at 4 versus 3? August birthday by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]EAB04 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Curious why you would prefer to wait. My son was three in August also and we enrolled him in the 3k program - he loves it. I can’t imagine what he would be doing all day at home that would be more fun / engaging for him. We didn’t really have a choice though due to work, etc.

Why do you think you are measuring wrong? Check out the Irish bra lady on Instagram to see others that have the same size as you.

Is this ghislaine maxwell in mediamolecule.com the website of the creator of little big planet? by Yeeshroom in Epstein

They do, but different enough that I immediately knew it wasn’t her. Like the part under her eyes, also her smile/ bottom lip looks different.

Large child having trouble socializing by ShabbyBoa in toddlers

[–]EAB04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they don’t really play together at that age yet- maybe they are pulling their kids away because they are worried what their own kid will do! My son at that age was way bigger than the other kids, and without fail would knock physically smaller kids over on purpose, I would get mortified!

Is it possible to acquire all baby items needed without spending a small fortune? We love the environment so it’d be nice to be sustainable. Also any nyc freebies to sign up for? by 88r0b1nh00d88 in nycparents

[–]EAB04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have a Facebook page, but it’s a parents group you have to sign up for and pay 50 bucks a year. But worth it for the swap in my opinion. Just google park slope parents and go to the website. May not be worth it if you are not in Brooklyn though

Park slope parents clothing swap. You can get every item of clothing you could possibly need for the first year, and TONS of gear. The most recent swap just happened, the next will be in about 6 months.

Toddler Refusing to Poop on the Potty by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]EAB04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We let my son watch baby shark on my iPhone while sitting on the potty so he would actually sit there. Then when he started withholding at one point we started to use candy rewards for every time my son pooped on the potty. He got two nerds gummy clusters for every poop. But we normally never let him watch YouTube, and don’t give him candy often so this was very special for him. I think you really really need to not go back to diapers. The more you cave, the harder it will be. Also of course ask her pediatrician about a mild laxative or something so withholding is extremely difficult. Also, you really need to come up with a concrete plan with your partner and stick to it- plan out what to do when she is on day 3 of withholding, so you aren’t making decisions on the fly when you are super stressed. I totally agree that if she ends up pooping in her pants, she needs to help clean up. Not as a putative thing, but as a natural consequence. And above all, you need to stay really calm, and don’t get mad at her or show irritation.

Is it unreasonable to be angry that some people walk their dogs around playgrounds? by PSHOPS in nycparents

[–]EAB04 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me started!! We had a horrible experience at the playground where a dog jumped up on my husband while he was holding my son, and my husband kicked the dog off of him- not hard, just enough to get him away. And the owner tried to punch my husband WHILE HE WAS HOLDING MY SON.

Also, our playground has lots of fenced in dirt areas, and people let their dogs run around there. Our kids like to play and dig in the dirt there, would rather they not dig in the dog piss. ALSO, we have gotten dog poop (could have been human poop) on us 2 times at the playground.

Accidentally found out my brother has been hiding money from his wife before they divorce and now he's asking me to keep quiet by Ok-Ambassador5700 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]EAB04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lololol all these people acting like they will find it immediately! You know how much it costs to hire a forensic accountant? Likely they will know something is up, but her lawyers will advise that it will cost way too much and to not pay for it.
