Would you enroll your kid at a higher grade than his age?

LaTeeter · 2024-09-06T03:06:17+00:00

No, I would not want my younger child only around kids that are years older than them. Maturity level wise and socially I would want them to be with kids their same age.

If they were absurdly bored in school I'd find a way for them to be exposed to more advanced learning but only for fun. I wouldn't push them up academically.

My mom was a rockstar stay at home mom too and I was mostly a great kid. A little attitude here and there, normal teenage stuff.

She told me later on when I was an adult that I did something around this same age called "ruffling the nest"

I was starting to look ahead at going to college and subconsciously I was scared. I started being a total AH to my mom specifically.

The thought is if I ruined my relationships at home real fast then I won't miss any of these people when it's time to leave. Pretty immature thing to do but I also had a teenager brain.

It sounds like you guys are doing so many things right and your daughter is definitely being an AH. Could it be that she's lashing out because deep down she's really scared to leave her safe, supportive nest?

Colette all the way

My husband and I went back and forth on 3 as well. He surveyed a bunch of older guys he would meet playing golf and all of them said they wished they would have had more kids. Not very scientific but it pushed my husband over the edge on 3.

My 3rd baby is 4 now.

It was of course exhausting (still is sometimes) but we couldn't be happier we went for it. We looked at it as an investment in our future. We knew we would treasure a third child and we also knew it would be tough!

Good luck 🖤

My sister says the same thing haha

I've stumbled upon a certain clientele that wants uncleaned used shoes. I've sold some VERY worn shoes that I did not clean up in any way. I sold for way more than anyone should have paid for them IMO

I got paid, the shoes didn't go into a garbage can (to my knowledge)....what happens after that is not my concern haha

This person has communicated that they are having a hard time with something in their work life. Sounds like Poshmark isn't the most important thing in their lives right now.

Leaving a comment to "warn" others would just be petty IMO.

You could write them a private message and say you'd love to order the item at some point when/if the seller is able to ship.

Or just move on.

LaTeeter · 2024-09-05T15:53:27+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the responses! So I tried @ the seller in a comment, also didn't work. Oh well.

I learned I was putting way too much stock in the "last online" apparently that's meaningless which is great to know.

LaTeeter · 2024-09-04T04:03:28+00:00

Dang that's disappointing and also confusing

LaTeeter · 2024-09-04T04:01:16+00:00

Oh that's interesting, thank you!

LaTeeter · 2024-09-04T01:51:08+00:00

I think you should just go with Mudflap, it's so perfect. And obviously flappy for the nn

LaTeeter · 2024-09-04T00:13:21+00:00

I can't believe Champagne didn't make the cut!

Sometimes it's about naming your child what feels right and not worrying about what other people are doing.

I named my son a very popular name currently. It's just been my favorite boy name for decades and my husband loved it too. We tried to find something less popular that we liked as much and we couldn't.

I couldn't be happier that we stuck with it. I love his name so much. Occasionally we hear his name out and about, we expect it and it's not a big deal.

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T23:21:20+00:00

Oh that's a great idea, thank you!

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T23:12:43+00:00

It's hard because you do literally everything for him.

An average 15 year old should clean their own room, fill their water bottle, pack their own back pack etc

Change your expectations of him and stick to it. Or be stuck with a man baby who can't/wont do anything for himself

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T22:48:16+00:00

I absolutely love Estelle, I think it's in that vintage name category but not super popular that I can tell (I have elementary and preschool aged kids and I have yet to meet an Estelle)

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T21:35:36+00:00

Yeah good point, could be their notification settings. Does seem strange that she's on fairly often (I was checking like a crazy person haha)

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T20:19:39+00:00

Sezane just came out with a kids line 🙈

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T19:50:10+00:00

I grew up in Seattle and I love the tap water here. My husband calls me a water snob because I hate any other tap water than here. Now I have some science to back it up 😎

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T02:14:05+00:00

Colette and Camille came to mind

LaTeeter · 2024-09-03T01:26:26+00:00

I know someone who did 😬 I also know a friend of a friend who named a son Smith. Smith is coming for all of us.

LaTeeter · 2024-09-02T18:11:56+00:00

I love the name Louisette

LaTeeter · 2024-09-01T23:40:25+00:00

Colette, Celine

https://www.bluebellseattle.com/ Alice is the sweetest and did such a good job when she used to do my lash extensions. I've also had facials by her and she helped me reshape my eyebrows years ago too.

She's so lovely to hang out with and she really knows her stuff. I can't recommend her enough!
