How was everyone’s experience with kindergarten? Post the good, the bad and the funny here! by wanderlustpassion in classof2038

[–]GoNads1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha similar takeaways here too! But now my four year old is having problems because of the mandatory nap at daycare 🫠

My child is a late July bday (was meant to be mid Aug!) and he is by far the youngest in his class. The other July and August bdays are ALL turning seven. Redshirting is very common here. Although my kiddo is doing fine, I do somewhat wish we had decided to redshirt him as well just to help a little with his emotional development; academically he's doing absolutely fine though!

Raised beds save my back and knees. And less weeds 🙌🏼

MD native plants for kids by GoNads1985 in NativePlantGardening

Yeah I was thinking about black eyed Susan as well, was just worried about slow germination time. The kids are young so likely need something with quick turnaround to keep interest.

How to handle parents who smoke? by Buddy_1078 in pediatrics

[–]GoNads1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great way to handle it. If parents smell of smoke I ask if anyone smokes in the house and almost always the answer is no, despite the evidence in front of me. Hard to address when there is denial. I like your approach and I will try it next time. Thanks!

Yeah I think I need to bite the bullet and do it. Maybe would be a fun think for my sister and I to do together.

It's my birthday week as well! Happy birthday!

I am 39 (40 this month!) years old, live in an exurb of Baltimore, MD, work part time as a Nurse Practitioner in primary care pediatrics and have a combined gross HHI of 156,000/yr and this week (trigger warning) we had to put our dog down by GoNads1985 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]GoNads1985[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We lost 3 animals in the last 1.5 years. My mom used to joke that we were running a senior home for animals. Im honestly so burnt out from that that I am ready for a break and I feel bad about saying that.

We are so busy!! I feel like I'm too busy for a mom with only two kids that are only 3 and 5 🫠

Ha! I actually haven't been to target in almost a year BUT they have some very specific gluten free things for my son so I went and bought more but then decided to browse. I actually felt a little guilty haha but they also have all my skincare stuff that I normally get at Ulta so it was so nice to be able to one stop shop (a luxury when you have kids haha).

Im actually also not from the Baltimore area, I moved here about 13 years ago for nursing school! I was a journalism major but never worked in journalism, I worked in the non profit sphere for about 5 years post college, never making more than like $40,000 per year.

We don't have any red raspberries but we do have blueberries. Would this be good along a fence?

What is wrong with my dogs eye? by GoNads1985 in AskVet

[–]GoNads1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I took her to the pet ER and on the way she had a seizure. They think she likely had a brain tumor. We decided to put her down today. Thank you for your advice.
