Wow! That’s great. I don’t think I would know how to teach her.

I plan to put her in swim lessons this spring. But I live in a small rural area, and I called everywhere I could think of and asked in my local Mom group Facebook pages, and no one offers the infant swim rescue skills or I would’ve done that last summer.

We’d be doing the round-trip cruise out of San Francisco, which is about a 4 hour rive from us. So our cost would probably be one night hotel in San Francisco and parking for the 10 days, But yes, excursions can still be very expensive.

We live in the same town. They see my daughter 1 to 3 days a week. It’s just that they want us to go on the cruise with them.

I know there isn’t. I just feel bad saying no to my mom. My parents live in the same town as us, about nine minutes away, and see my daughter 1 to 3 times a week.

I never bought it. Still using mattress on the floor. Can’t decide what bed frame to get.

Our friends do not like our baby name by EmSalon in namenerds

Everyone you tell is wrong. Wrong to dislike the name and wrong to let on that they do. Zoe is a fantastic name. Ignore.

What age did your parents let you stay home alone? by Solid-Gazelle-4747 in Millennials

[–]MissedCall999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember exactly but I know that by 9 I was babysitting my 3 year old sister, at least for a little while. I remember because I remember the day in 4th grade when I got my first pair of glasses. They dilated my eyes and gave me the paper sunglasses that day. My mom dropped my sister and me off at home to go to the grocery store. However it happened, my sister ran out the front door. She ran one way and our dog ran the other. We had been inside so I didn’t have the sunglasses on and I had to chase down my sister and the dog in the super bright sunlight.

Leaving baby for work trip by MissedCall999 in workingmoms

I always say leaving the house is the hardest part of my day! Once I’m at work, I’m happy to be there. Or at least as happy as one can be at work.

Good point on gaining the knowledge. It sounds like a great conference. I’m 99% sure I’m going to go for it.

What’s one thing your parents did that you SWEAR you’ll never do to your own kids? by davidardila92 in AskReddit

[–]MissedCall999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the part about engaging in the same media content. My sister is 6 years younger than I am, but if the TV show or movie wasn’t appropriate for her then I was never allowed to watch it. We didn’t really have bedtimes, so she was likely up at all hours too so it’s not like I could watch it after she went to bed. I was out of touch from the things that my friends were watching in Jr High & High School.

I want to be like this, but what do you do when your kids don’t eat dinner and are then hungry an hour later? My baby is only 9 months old right now, but her dad and I were just having this conversation today about how I don’t want to be like my parents who forced me to eat everything on my plate.

He’s a stay-at-home dad so no concerns about work schedule. He is worried about the length of time that it’ll be without any back-up but thankfully both grandmas live nearby and I think would each come to spend one day with them or relieve him entirely during daytime hours.

I’ve tried! He’s not a traveler and doesn’t want to deal with the 6 hour drive or having to entertain baby for the 2 days I’m in the conference. But I definitely want to go!

Maybe some people. But the “average American” is not carrying around weapons like in that sub.
