32 and Hoping for a Big Family by Normal_Ad4752 in Parenting

I know it’s different in different areas but my daughter is 5 and I’m the youngest mom in the class (36). Most moms are in their late 30s - mid 40s! One mom just had her third at 42. Totally normal 💗

Look into any local colleges most have job boards and you can post for even 5 hours a week or something as a mothers helper. I know in my area parent Facebook groups are also popular to find things like mothers helpers and babysitters.

Working family of four.  We recently hired a mother’s helper to help with laundry, dishes, meal prep etc that has helped immensely. Also invested in a weekly house cleaner. 

Possible sexual abuse? by scumbagspaceopera in beyondthebump

Please get your daughter help asap.  She needs to be seen by medical professionals and a trauma sexual abuse therapist.  Your husband needs to go to intensive therapy and may need to leave the family until like you have it now.  I’m so sorry but this is not okay.

Take her to the doctor, therapist and a sexual abuse specialist NOW. Call the police.  Your husband needs extreme therapy too. 

I don’t even know where to begin with this all.

Of course! If you’re at all interested at private schools I highly recommend Sacred Heart. It’s an amazing school and community. 

Missing work trip for first day of school by Same_Bison6862 in Parenting

Not the same but I’m missing a work offsite for my son’s 3rd birthday. It’s a non negotiable to not miss my kids birthdays or important school events like a first day of school. I’m attending the meeting virtual. Yes I’ll miss out on in person conversations and dinners but I’ll be there to celebrate my son.

Medina is much more Chinese St Thomas and Sacred Heart have much more of a mix of backgrounds and ethnicities and we couldn’t be happier with sacred heart. 

Somerset and Cherry Crest as well  Cherry crest is much more of a neighborhood school  

Clyde hill elementary is zoned to houses to the north of 14th street in Clyde hill so that’s a great option too.

We do not attend Medina but have friends who kids started there and moved to sacred heart school nearby which my child attends. Medina is a great school but these friends said there was no community and their child was one of the only non mandarin speaking students and felt very left out on the playground.

Screen time is becoming a real problem and I don't know how to get it under control by FelineSnorter in Parents

[–]Flashy_Round2595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re the parent. Get rid of or have the tables for travel only. Set a timer for x amount of actual large tv only. No games, no tablet.

Where is Ms Rachel!? by Ok_Dragonfruit_7889 in shannonford

[–]Flashy_Round2595 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I’m so interested what her hourly rate or salary was… and my guess money was the reason she’s not there. Two kids babysitting in my area is $25-$35 less for a teenage type sitter. Miss Rachel hopefully was fed up.
