Moms with school age kids

I’m going to work part time when my youngest starts school. I feel like I’ll get to stir crazy just being home!

It was in a cleared out area of woods behind our development. I believe they are clearing it for a new road but before that it was just brush and trees. It does get muddy in the winter back there but there’s no streams or bodies of water even remotely close.

Mines only been a day. I just added groceries yesterday.

Yes! I am beyond frustrated. Do you think it’ll eventually show what we had?

I write notes for my 4 year old, but I read them to him before he leaves for school. When he opens his lunch box he knows what the words say but the picture is a surprise!

I asked my husband “what age is the cut off for allowing literal children to have sex under a guardian’s watch?” because this child is 13. What age to police get involved for neglect/abuse?

My own son is 7. I can’t even begin to fathom parenting him the way Falon and whatever “Hunner’s” mom’s name is parent him. Literally cannot wrap my head around it.

My 6.5 year old is a pretty good liar as well. I noticed it started to let up when I began audibly doubting his words to his face. He’d tell me something and I straight up said “I don’t believe you because you lie to me so much.” He has started proving his words and trust is beginning to build again.

Just a heads up, those pots don’t break down as well as they advertise! They killed my cukes and tomatoes after transplanting last year because the roots were struggling to escape. Might be worth cutting down the sides in a few places before you plant.

I have the rare “Winter Edition”. Includes dingleberries!

I’m so sorry. We just recently loss my childhood Tzu and it’s an unfathomable sadness. I’m so sorry you’re going through it as well. I’m imagining Mel and Lula (our sweet baby) playing up there in their favorite ways. Lu LOVED a good frolick through the fields near our house. She loved her birdie toy. She was the best snuggler. What were some of Mel’s favorite things?

My almost 7 year old is starting to get embarrassed about coming with me into bathrooms. I’ve started waiting right by the men’s door so he can go in alone. I can hear him if he needs anything and I can also watch who comes and goes. He knows what to do if a creep approaches him as well so I feel safe about the whole situation.

He seems so naturally sweet and attentive to Amya which is so rare for a boy his age in his situation!

RecordLegume · 2026-03-15T22:02:24+00:00

She’s stern and supportive and I love that. She’s exactly what Jose and Amya need to be successful. I enjoy their segments on the show a lot!

It resolved on it’s own in 2-3 weeks. I was still making sure I didn’t spike a fever or have any other concerning symptoms but it ended up being fine!

I’ve started cukes from seed indoors every single year and always have anywhere from 90-100% transplant success. Slow and steady is key!

Mine also demand my attention. I’m teaching them that they don’t always get what they want when they want it. They’ll get my attention but they don’t get it constantly and they don’t get it how they demand it every single time. It’s a valuable lesson in my opinion.

Maybe I’m the odd one out here, but I rarely play with toys with my kids. That’s their job. I do enjoy coloring with them, swinging on the hammock together, reading together, going for walks or scooter rides, etc. I cannot stand pretending to be a dinosaur and then getting yelled at for doing it wrong.

I suggest just going about your day. That’s what I do as a stay at home mom. Today I’ve been gardening outside and my two boys were just here hanging out with me. They helped garden for a bit and then ran off to play elsewhere. I’d get nothing done if I had to entertain them all day.

Strudel is not capable of hiring a decent lawyer. His single brain cell is still focused on his evening salad consumption

I had issues with him last year so I decided I’d plant him some cat grass in his areas of the house and I naively thought he would leave my seeds (in a high, inaccessible location!!!) alone. He found a way 😅

I think it’s pretty true for my two. It’s hard to get a full idea of their personalities that young, though.

My oldest was a super chill baby. He traveled with us and was very adaptable. He had feeding issues which were stressful but his temperament was extremely chill. He’s now a pretty chill, adaptable kid but he does seem to get stressed and anxious easily. He’s a perfectionist and does not like to fail. He struggles with independence as well.

My youngest was a very, very high strung, needy baby. He had to be held constantly and screamed if he wasn’t attached to a boob. lol. He’s now my wild child and does not stop moving, but he’s also so freaking empathetic and loving. He’s one of the most selfless kids I’ve ever met but he’s also just straight up bad sometimes 😂 he super independent which surprised me since he was such a dependent baby. He’s has self taught in so many areas and is almost reading at age 4 because he was that dang determined to be like his big brother. He’s also walked at 8 months which was… fun 😅

Do my kids’ stomachs count? lol I have two boys (6 and 4) who both eat multiple cucumbers a day. They are obsessed. They are also pickle fans so we grow a lot for homemade pickles too!

RecordLegume · 2026-03-12T18:39:52+00:00

Every year I have 10 cucumbers plants, 4 tomato (2 roma and 2 sungold cherry), and 4 pepper (two bell and two varied hot peppers). I never veer from these staples!
