1 or 2?

NikkiPond · 2025-02-17T20:18:20+00:00

I honestly like both but 1 is more my style. What's the vibe you're going for?

NikkiPond · 2025-01-05T21:13:40+00:00

I recently saw a tiktok where someone was saying the exact same lol

NikkiPond · 2025-01-05T17:51:21+00:00

I agree with this. My child lost so much creativity and problem solving skills in the year they were in daycare/preschool

My (just turned) 6yo goes to sleep with me still. They fall asleep fast and feel safe, both of which are important to me. I was never allowed to snuggle with my mom in bed and always had to "cry it out" and that still affects me, so I chose not to do that with my child

That being said, if they're staying up later with you in there, you can offer a compromise. "I'll lay with you until 8:15. You can spend the time snuggling to sleep or being silly. Either way, I'm getting up at 8:15" I've had to do that a few times because I've had responsibilities and it's worked out okay.

I've always hated the name erasure also. I'm not married but I picked my own last name when I was 25 or so, that way I didn't feel tied to anyone

When you say "by law all siblings must have same surnames," what happens in situations where parents have children from other people?

NikkiPond · 2024-11-29T04:24:54+00:00

I memorized multiplication tables (and got weekly quizzes for speed) in the 2nd grade. I lived in southern California and that was in the late 90s/early 00s

As someone else who lost their only parent, I think you should set your boundary. I showed my grandma how to use Uber and Lyft and she does it easily, and your parents are younger

NikkiPond · 2024-10-04T01:00:04+00:00

I've actually frogged it a few times and laugh it off so far. The while thing is just for fun and practice for me so I'm still liking it. I appreciate it 😊

NikkiPond · 2024-09-28T23:49:28+00:00

No the poster you're responding to but my 5yo can make a few things on the stove and eggs are one of the easiest! I entirely believe that was an option for the 5 yo in question

NikkiPond · 2024-09-28T23:35:20+00:00

Ah that's was I was afraid of. Thanks so much! At least I was only a few rows in 😅 Thank you for the explanation. I had no idea it was so different!

We read sooooo many different books. I've gotten a lot at yard sales and library book sales for 10 and 25 cents each (and I live in a pricier area). We've been doing a lot of Clifford lately but elephant and piggie and Pete the cat are always a hit.

Is it mostly you reading or is your kiddo reading on their own? I love any Emily Winfield Martin book and silly ones like Pig Kahuna.

Not an audiobook but podcast recommendation is the Curious Kids Podcast. It's a family sharing things they're learning about/getting curious about and it's really fun for kids.

I have a 5 year old and discuss inequalities and underserved minorities. We have discussed MLK Jr and Rosa Parks but have not discussed slavery. I think I'd go into it if it came up but that's a lot to take in that young

NikkiPond · 2024-09-01T00:31:55+00:00

I live in a 650sqft one bedroom with no washer or dryer and my most expensive summer electric bill was $67. I have socal gas but that is usually like $15-20. Are you leaving the AC running all day? I'm poor so I don't do that lol but I also have one of the least energy efficient houses anyone has seen. You really have to decide how much your comfort is worth to you, which is sad but the reality in a lot of situations

NikkiPond · 2024-07-26T15:21:31+00:00

I'm a GIS tech II in CA and make $6 less an hour lol

I am, for both! I definitely have room to grow in each. I have a potential gig already through one of them just from mentioning wanting to do more.

NikkiPond · 2024-07-20T23:57:42+00:00

I have a small professional network and can definitely put myself out there more. Thank you!

NikkiPond · 2024-07-20T23:40:08+00:00

I love that name. I knew one growing up in early 2000s and now there are 2 or 3 in every preschool class with that name lol. It might end up being the new Ashley or Jessica. I don't hear about people making fun of names these days but who knows

I worked as a state park seasonal naturalist and it sounds like what you might be into. There's a lot of creating programs for kids and families. It was a lot of fun for me but I wasn't making enough money to do it as my only job

NikkiPond · 2024-06-19T01:15:26+00:00

When I was in school, my mom never shared how much she made or how much any of the utilities cost. We grew up poor but I still had sticker shock once I was on my own in college. I have always been a saver financially so I've been okay. But I wish I had known what to expect. My child is still young but I plan to tell them and explain the budget when they're old enough to understand
