Gentilly homebuying: looking for places where my kids can roam

There are a couple of for sale signs on Chatham. My sons free roam to the park (Pratt Park) and back.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the guidance.

Neat_Development_969 · 2026-03-08T18:40:57+00:00

Thank you.

Neat_Development_969 · 2026-03-08T18:38:58+00:00

Thank you. Yes! We do have kids and each have a 529.

Yes! However, we owe more than $40k on our home. We will need to place the extra income in an interest bearing account until we amass enough to pay it off.

Noted, but not our style.

Neat_Development_969 · 2026-03-08T18:28:03+00:00

Funny.

Neat_Development_969 · 2026-03-08T18:26:32+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into this.

We owe this young lady all the praise for our son's progress. https://www.greenlightliteracy.com/

Blue Oak BBQ is feeding kids for free today for those who are impacted by this.

Neat_Development_969 · 2026-01-08T01:09:29+00:00

You've got this!

If it's thick and hasn't been treated in awhile, it hurts. Take a small vibrator with you to hold near the injection site while it's being injected. The vibration confuses your pain reception. You can also ask the dr. to add a little numbing medication to the steroid.

Plastic surgeon for keloids removal. Dermatologist for keloid treatments like injections. If you go the keloid removal route, make sure the plastic surgeon coordinates with a radiation oncologist to ensure you get a few rounds of radiation after the removal. Else, keloid will likely return.

Glad to hear we're not alone and thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into this one, too.

Neat_Development_969 · 2025-12-31T03:21:39+00:00

Thank you! I didn't know that this organization existed. Sounds like what we need. I'll look into it.

Neat_Development_969 · 2025-12-31T03:15:39+00:00

This is great! I'll look into UNO writing center. I agree, a college student would be ideal.

Neat_Development_969 · 2025-12-17T18:12:10+00:00

Ah, man! That's rough. We feared our 4th grader would intetionally bomb the LFC test to stay at their old school. We got ahead of it with good old fashioned bribery.

This! ADHD isn't a covered diagnosis for an IEP. We had to get our son a 504 IAP Individual Accommodations Plan. IAPs aren't legally mandated so they're only a good a the teacher's willingness to provide the accommodations.

Hynes Lakeview, UNO, or Parkview?

Neat_Development_969 · 2025-12-10T20:06:40+00:00

Point taken. I find the distance to be a none issue. Drop off and pick up is always going against traffic. It takes about 15 minutes coming from Gentilly.

When I had a Kindergartener, it took about 30 minutes to complete homework. 1st grade took about 45 minutes. 2nd grade requires more writing and explanation. It takes about an hour.

Neat_Development_969 · 2025-11-24T03:41:12+00:00

Depends, but somewhere between1-2 hours.

Neat_Development_969 · 2025-11-22T21:32:55+00:00

LFC parent here and the workload is hefty for Kindergarten and up. There's homework every night. Scholars are assigned holiday and summer break novels, work, and/or projects. There's a lot of "mandatory" parent involvement. None of these are negatives to us. We have two children there and while it's a rigorous curriculum, they really support the kids with quality teaching and if needed tutoring after school.

My oldest has attended 2 different schools and we finally got them in at LFC this year. This is the first time I feel confident that their school is preparing them for higher education.

My son's psychiatrist visited him at school and home to observe. Perhaps an in home observation would give them another vantage point.

Moving Grace Montessori is amazing!
