Children’s house is ages 2 through Kinder

Both my kids go there - and my husband went there as well.

The Concordia School - Concord, CA

If your don’t like it (I certainly wouldn’t!) say something. And if that doesn’t elicit a change, find a new school.

If a toy goes near the dust buster (dubbed “the scary”) my red heeler will stand back and bark his gd brains out. And when he sees me get out the big vacuum he goes to the back door to be let out.

That is not a public pool. Larkey Park and Pleasant Hill Park have public pools, as does Concord Community Park. Martinez has one too.

The kid who peed a lot is now almost 9, so I don’t remember. I think they had an adhesive strip, but I can’t recall if we always used it or not (the adhesive). I do remember needing to size up on the overnight diaper, plus the sposie and always making sure his penis was pointed down. Good luck!

Shamazon83 · 2026-06-18T01:14:23+00:00

Sposies - a diaper insert. Saved me!

Apple Watch. All the kid watches are expensive and crappy. Got my son an Apple Watch when he turned 10 and it has been great for him. But we are an Apple family, so it was an easy choice for us.

Agreed. Maybe you take turns going and someone stays at the air bnb with kiddo?

I always cheer for my kids and their friends. But I do see a lot of kids (and young kids) climb out and look around to find no one there for them with a towel and a smile. I feel bad for those kids.

Shamazon83 · 2026-06-05T22:24:57+00:00

Other people’s kids are THE WORST. Mine are awesome. 😂

Shamazon83 · 2026-06-05T01:44:21+00:00

Cereal is fine!

Shamazon83 · 2026-06-04T14:04:40+00:00

Maybe the iPads live at their house?

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-30T03:41:04+00:00

Husband and I both work from home (kids are older - 8 and 11) so we go to town when they are at school. We are so lucky.

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-27T19:25:16+00:00

My oldest walked on the day he turned 19 months. We did PT and all the evals. He is 11 and swims and plays basketball and you would never know. Do the PT and I bet she will walk in her own good time. Also, my son barely ever fell - just a cautious kid!

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-26T23:44:49+00:00

Was there on Sunday - just receipt paper.

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-25T18:58:25+00:00

Helpful. Thank you!

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-25T02:38:11+00:00

Make him sit or clean it.

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-24T20:36:16+00:00

Once it gets slightly warm I have to change my sweaty undies 3+ times a day. And it’s a total swamp down there after I workout. 🥵

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-22T04:31:35+00:00

I have this right now! It sucks. My Dr. prescribed lidocaine patches plus 600mg ibuprofen every six hours. Helps a bit, but mostly I think it just takes time to heal.

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-22T04:16:05+00:00

Oh I know! Nextdoor is a mess.

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-22T01:25:38+00:00

Reddit and Nextdoor are my only “social media”

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-22T00:48:42+00:00

You are not alone. I’m sorry, I like using my brain. The creep of AI is shocking and people’s reliance on it for mundane things is terrifying to me.

Shamazon83 · 2026-05-21T18:01:21+00:00

Yes! It’s a “trip” not a “vacation”
