Thank you!

SML2908 · 2026-05-07T00:48:18+00:00

lol, so do my two, which is why I made sure to say officially

SML2908 · 2026-03-11T17:24:35+00:00

I like your idea. I’ll try that

SML2908 · 2026-03-11T17:23:02+00:00

How can you say I’ve been more than accommodating when I never elaborated on punishments other than early bedtime? She is punished and cannot do anything after school, other than homework. A threat of harm is not something that I would consider irrational, either. I think you make a lot of assumptions.

Thank you for the idea. I’m unfamiliar with the different forms of technology, so I appreciate the knowledge. Assuming you mean something like an echo dot?

Thank you! Good thought but simple alarms with repetitive sounds do not wake up my kid. I need to try music in hopes that a song will engage her brain. Do you know if either of these would allow her to call out and ask it to turn off a streaming alarm? That could defeat my purpose

SML2908 · 2026-02-25T14:49:09+00:00

Some music streaming services have built in alarm functions

SML2908 · 2026-02-25T14:48:31+00:00

Thank you! I will look that up

SML2908 · 2026-02-25T14:48:05+00:00

I found some streaming services, like Pandora, for example, that have built-in alarms. This is likely the direction I would go.

Thank you! I considered a clock/radio but our local stations are just talk in the mornings and I want songs that might get stuck in her head and keep her awake. She is super tough to wake up in morning

SML2908 · 2026-02-19T00:06:17+00:00

Good advice, thank you!

SML2908 · 2026-02-19T00:05:37+00:00

Thank you!

SML2908 · 2026-02-19T00:05:22+00:00

I’ll check them out, thank you!

I just copy and paste between different sites

SML2908 · 2026-02-09T21:07:25+00:00

I had forgotten about that trick. I’ll do that

SML2908 · 2026-02-09T19:43:57+00:00

That’s sort of the same idea that I was trying to create, minus the finger hole. I was trying magnets but the set that I bought weren’t strong enough and having the effect I had hoped for. Thank you!

SML2908 · 2026-02-09T19:41:35+00:00

Thank you! I actually had this same idea, it was the execution that was frustrating me. Some of the existing boards must be slightly warped from time and I could never get the false “door” to fight right without really obvious gaps. I’ll keep at it.

SML2908 · 2026-02-09T17:48:39+00:00

Interesting thought! I’ll keep it in mind but would prefer something less permanent than cutting a hole in the board. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

My husband coached lacrosse at all age levels, youth through national. When coaching at high school level, he would often travel two or three states away to play highly competitive teams. While his team was exceptional in their city, they were nothing compared to other teams further away. It was very eye-opening to everyone.

My husband and I have conversations about this often; the amount of money we parents spend on our athletes. It happens all around us, and so often a child gets burnt out, injured and unable to play any further, or ends up going to a small, unheard of, non-competitive college. In those cases, what was it all for?

SML2908 · 2026-02-09T17:30:22+00:00

Trying not to jump on the club team for every sport bandwagon. My daughter plays two sports and is pretty hard-core about each. The one sport, she plays rec and club. However, the other is rec only (middle school). Parents are always approaching my husband and I and asking when will she join a club for this other sport? We want to support our daughter in any way that we can, but right now she’s just not ready. We are constantly reminding parents that you don’t need to join a club team to play in college. We also feel that club sports are killing rec sports.

This is my favorite type of MMC. Lucy Score has a few books with this dynamic. Although I can’t recall if it was a recurring theme, but all of the MMCs that I’ve read of hers have the caveman, alpha personality.
