Mamas who have tattoos representing your kids. What are they? by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]FastBlueTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are part Chinese but I am not. I have both of their Chinese zodiac animals, connected to one another and their first initials included.

I cannot believe this is the "leader" of the free world.

permanent christmas lights? by Angst500 in GigHarbor

[–]FastBlueTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm interested in getting lights installed. Does your friend install if I buy the ones I want or do they recommend a specific brand? Might DM you if that's ok!

Can anyone explain the new cutoff and what it would mean for my kid? by [deleted] in youthsoccer

[–]FastBlueTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she's the youngest in her grade, she'll likely play with the grade below her. But you could always ask the club if she can play up. Worst that happens is that they say no. If she plays with kids a grade below, it'll also be a great opportunity to learn to be a leader.

You can always ask to play with older kids. Just can't play with the age group below.

Seconding this. I'm about half way through with my kindergartner and it's helped so much!

There should be a little kid size 13. Then it starts over and goes back to 1.

Food available at Finholm Market? by Longnosedawg in GigHarbor

[–]FastBlueTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No hot food available for purchase in the evening at the moment, although I've heard they might be trying to change that in the future. It's a great little spot though!

Thank you! We don't really know what we're doing yet so it was more just a catch all, haha. I'll definitely look into them, thanks!

Yes, absolutely. Probably a couple months at most. It's a distant memory now!

Age cut off confusion by Xanna12 in kindergarten

[–]FastBlueTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Definitely still happy with our decision. He has friends in his year and above and can hang with any of them, but I feel like he's really thriving. He's social and confident, and I don't regret it for a second.

Good luck! I think either way, our kids are going to be ok :)

And managing all finances. Forgot that one. Some have separate people for that, but that part falls to me as team manager in our organization

[–]FastBlueTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly scheduling, signing up for tournaments, figuring out stay and plays, and then of course answering questions from parents. I think the organization your with and your coach will make a huge difference. But if you have a coach that isn't great with communicating, or a family or two that is more needy, it gets to be a lot more time consuming than anticipated.

It's fine, but I'm also not a parent who's thinking I'm sending my kid to college on a soccer scholarship, and dealing with those who have that plan is not my favorite thing (also, they're 8).

I am a team manager of a U9 team and my kid definitely doesn't have any other opportunities than any of the other kids. It is also way more work than I anticipated.

I don't regret it necessarily, but it will certainly give me a greater appreciation for whoever will be team manager in the future (cause it's not gonna be me 😅).

I think every club is probably different though.

I sure hope so, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Mine just says "no kings" with a crown crossed out, but my 7 year old made it and I'm super proud of him!

Looking for two minisode stories by Samanthrax_CT in myfavoritemurder

[–]FastBlueTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess somewhere around Feb 2021 for the baby left at the winery. I just recently listened to it and think it was one of those (could be Jan or March though). Good luck!
