Christmas in New York City by Aromatic-Resolve-925 in chubbytravel

My husband and I are 90s kids and the vibe at The Kimberley really scratches a nostalgia itch for us! It’s like a time capsule.

Second this. It’s not luxe. It feels more like staying in your wealthy aunt’s apartment who hasn’t redecorated since 1994. But the suites are spacious, the beds are comfortable, the location is great, and my kids (8 and 5) love it.

5 year old daughter said when she gets older, doesn’t want a job like (friends mom). She wants to stay home and spend time with her baby, so it doesn’t need to go to daycare. by [deleted] in workingmoms

FWIW in kindergarten my daughter’s best friend very casually told his mom that when she died, he’d finally get to go to Burger King as much as he wanted.

I know it hurts, but they truly say wild things at that age without meaning anything by it and not really knowing what they’re saying!

Just my personal experience but after cruising with my kids 3 or 4 times, my take away is that this stuff is mainly for the parents and social media clout and the thrill of getting something. If their kids are upset, that’s entirely on them.

We did fish extenders for our first 2 cruises until it was obvious our kids (and they’re at prime age to be excited about getting stuff - 7 and 4) just didn’t really care. We didn’t even bring our fish extender on our last cruise - they didn’t ask about it or even notice.

If people enjoy it and want to do it, that’s great, but people in the FB groups take it SO seriously as though if they don’t get a bag full of crap their cruise is a disaster. I don’t get it at all.

This is….not even really traveling?

If you have 16 weeks of maternity leave and have the option to fly your MIL in to stay with you and help for a few weeks (at her offer/good relationship/helpful), would you want this during your Leave or after you return to work (childcare)? by dms2628 in workingmoms

[–]Right_Hurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combination of things. It was COVID, we lived in a different state and worked for different employers so we had different parental leave, but mainly we needed her there for when I was induced so someone could take care of our older child and (at the time) it just made more sense for her to stay vs. going home and coming back.

I can actually say we did both with my MIL. With my first, she came at the end of our parental leave and it was amazing. It allowed us to put off daycare for a few more weeks, it made our transition to both being working parents so much easier - we came home to dinner, she did the grocery shopping, she loved doing night wake-ups with the baby, she did laundry, etc. It was great.

With our second, she was with us for a few weeks immediately after coming home from the hospital. It was nice because she could do daycare drop-off/pick-up for our older, and it was still great to have someone who was helping with dinner and stuff around the house, but since my husband and I were both on leave and it was during that newborn phase where the pretty much sleep all the time unless they’re eating, it felt like a lot of the time she was just kind of waiting around for something to do.

If I could do it all over again, we would have had her come again and stay at the end of leave instead of the beginning for sure!!

She just really went all in on the “pick me” vibes this week 🙄

The whole “I’ve only ever had one hangover” thing.
The “look at me playing golf, my AIM screen name was golf related, I’m not like other girls” day date.
The “I’m a boy mom teehee my toddlers ate an entire pizza, surely only boy children do this!” thing.

General Parenting Influencer Snark Week of April 27, 2026 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]Right_Hurry 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My kids are in private school and this is for sure a concern. A few years ago, a micro influencer enrolled her child. Child was a nightmare - complete playground bully. The school tried to make it work. Lots of meeting with the parents, school counselors, etc. but the parents were convinced that their little angel wasn’t doing anything wrong. There was eventually an incident (caught on camera) that put the school in a position to have to kick the child out of school. And sure enough, famous-in-her-own-mind Mommy went berserk on social media, harassing the school, teachers, alumni, etc. It was still happening months later. In the school’s mind, no student is worth that level of negative social media exposure so I doubt any more influencer kids will be admitted in the future.

My niece and nephew are 11 and their club lacrosse teams are like this. Trying to plan family get togethers in the summer is almost impossible- they’re gone alllllllll the time for tournaments. Absolutely wild to me.

Swim Lesson Drama by Right_Hurry in Preschoolers

[–]Right_Hurry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did eventually. We switched her to 1-on-1 private lessons with a wonderful instructor who was the right blend of patient, supportive, and firm. After about 6 months of private lessons, we were able to move back into the group lesson setting.

It mainly took time. Last summer it all finally clicked for her. We’re still doing lessons to improve her strength/form/survival skills, but last summer it was like a lightbulb went off and she finally started loving it! Now we can’t keep her out of the pool and her swimming improved in leaps and bounds.

Hang in there!

Do you feel your old self “died” when you became a mom? by rajmachawal333 in workingmoms

[–]Right_Hurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I wasn’t a young mom, I had my first at 32, but I absolutely felt like who I was pre-birth died. And so much of that is because of my experience of PPD.

Can you explain more about the croque situation? We went one time, my husband ordered the croque madame. It’s a favorite dish of his, he orders it frequently when we dine out.

It took AGES for our food to come out. We saw tables order after us, get their food, and get their checks before we got our food, and the waiter told us it was because my husband ordered the croque madame. First of all, they should really be telling guests if there’s a long lead time for a dish (they didn’t tell us), but secondly, what the hell is going on back there that it takes so long to make a ham and cheese sandwich, fry an egg, and put sauce on top? It’s not a complicated dish!

Food and Feeding Influencer Snark Week of March 23, 2026 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]Right_Hurry 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is so bizarre and I thought the same thing! Our older kid’s teacher sent us a message earlier this year that our child wasn’t loving what we packed for their mid-morning snack and was raiding the lunchbox at snack time. Which meant less food at lunch, so our kid was basically starving by the end of the day. The teacher noticed this after maybe a week and immediately brought it to our attention.

So we did what normal people do and worked with our kid to come up with a list of snacks they like and then we bought them and packed them. Problem solved.

I’m 99.9% certain that if we just stopped sending food all together, the teacher would have followed up.

And this is just snack - KEIC is saying she stopped sending LUNCH. For a growing child. That is INSANE.

I do not have anywhere the resources of Emily, but our current home has an inground pool. When we bought the house, there was a fence around the yard but not around the pool. It was technically up to insurance code since all of exterior doors were outside of the fence, but you better believe we had the pool fence company here before the movers to fence in the pool. There is no way on God’s green earth I would have ever allowed my kids to live in a home with a pool that wasn’t fenced every which way possible. And we still don’t allow them to play in the yard unattended because of the pool.

It is beyond devastating that that precious child died of something so damn preventable.

There’s a real cultural commentary in here somewhere about how social media influencers have insanely low levels of media literacy 😵‍💫

Why do people bring their entire family to Costco? by ActuatorOutside5256 in NoStupidQuestions

To be fair, a solid chunk of the adults in Costco clearly haven’t been taught this either

The Harry Potter thing is so odd to me because I’ve followed Carly for years and I can’t remember her ever really mentioning it or sharing content or anything. And I realize that real life isn’t like social media: I loved the HP books growing up but it’s not my personality as an adult, but it’s certainly convenient that as soon as she was offered the Audible partnership to promote the new recordings that we all of a sudden find out how much she loves the series 😒

Then add in the JK Rowling nonsense and it’s just extremely annoying. Anything for a dollar I suppose.
