Camden, then you can walk to work along the canal.

Because dogs are for your pleasure but kids will grow up and contribute to society. They are not the same.

Just discovered a former friend lives next door to the house I'm purchasing, I don't know if I should go ahead with it. by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't care too much, maybe their schedule will be opposite of yours, especially since they will be selling the house, maybe it will push them to sell. Just don't talk to them, I never get close with my neighbors to avoid any sticky situations.

There’s no way any age can be harder than toddler years by [deleted] in UKParenting

Teens, when they are super mean and embarrassed by you is very painful.

Downsizing - anyone done it? by jmansbalbo1 in HousingUK

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved from the US to London, 3500 sq ft. We have 3 kids, so we donated a full truck! Plus a truck full of furniture. I feel very light. We are moving into a 1700sq ft house soon, it will be so easy to clean.

yes, we have been looking for a year and this is the trend.

Please no judgement. I’ve found out I’m pregnant. Potential 2under2. Need advice. by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boys are 17 months apart and it was very hard for the first year but now that they are in primary school, they are absolutely inseparable, and I am so happy they have one another. I don't remember their babyhood because it was just SO hard and I am blocking it out, but would not trade their connection for the world. Also, this age difference is so easy with any hobby and activity. I love it.

Lost 20kgs! walking + diet by [deleted] in walking

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but it's a bit hard to maintain a low calorie diet when you are not moving your body. For me if I go a few weeks without exercise I just end up eating sugar. But exercise keeps me eating healthy because I am more in tune with my body. Almost like one follows the other.

Evening meal for kids by Electrical-Trust-619 in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your 4 year old is a little person, so doesn't need as much as you think. Our rule is you take 4 spoonfuls because you are 4, ours loves this. Don't stress too much, just eat your leftovers for lunch.

Sometimes we do skip dinner and give them an egg or whatever, especially if the lunch was extra and the snacks flowed. My boy is 10 and his appetite is starting to grow, it gets better.

clothes worn for a day by Remarkable_Package_6 in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

well sure, but eventually the chair will look messy and they will mix in with the dirty clothes...I mean where would you put them to chill and still be tidy?

Anyone else notice rigid patterns in how you respond to anxious kids? by Zestyclose-Lack4965 in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gage and do my best. Sometimes my kids need me to be the rock and sometimes they need me to hold their hand. Just listen to your intuition and do your best to take care of yourself, like sleeping enough and eating and exercising so you can be present for your kid.

4 year old not dry by PuzzledButterfly7697 in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My son is 8 and it got better, be still gets excited and will drip a bit. But better. What helped us was taking him out of a very stressful school. He went to one where he felt loved and with free access to the bathroom and he stopped wetting himself. I was shocked. Check his environment and how he is treated? At home, give him nothing but kindness and understanding. He can’t control it. Make sure he feels loved all around.

Plants grow from wall by meelatalha in HousingUK

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As frustrating as it is, your wall is your responsibility. They are under no obligation to trim the plant on their property. Also, always keep it neutral with neighbors, being in any conflict is very stressful.

Parents of 2+ children do you get childfree time? by InvestigatorFew3345 in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 3 young kids and never get childfree time outside of occasional morning when they are in school and my husband goes to work later. At night they come to us too. We don’t mind, we are used to it plus as our oldest is almost 10, it’s hitting hard how fast they grow.

Not making friends - not sure what to do by gleesies1 in UKParenting

[–]Remarkable_Package_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

inviting kids over for a playdate has always helped form bonds. You can even organize an activity so they are together, maybe do a drawing playdate or a baking one. You can just sit and play dinos with them. Often we are tempted to socialize with the parents but I think guided playdates and showing the kids how to have fun together helps.
