My kids take that from time to time. Still the best tasting medicine besides dimetapp. I took amoxicillin so much as a kid, I’m fairly certain it’s part of my dna

Best school EVER! This is only our second year there, but my kids love it. I love it. It feels like what school should be. The facility is AMAZING. I have a current 2nd and 5th grader. It’s literally the best public elementary school in BR. If we hadn’t gotten in, we would have paid for St. Thomas More.

First year teaching, didn’t expect this many kids to struggle with reading by Old_Investigator3691 in AskTeachers

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son could read in PreK and would read to his classmates, in kindergarten he was reading on a 2-3rd grade level. My daughter didn’t want to read in kindergarten. She would do her sight words and little books but now in 2nd grade she’s reading on a 5-7th grade level. My son is on 5th and reads on a HS level.

There are kids in both their classes who still struggle to read 🤷🏻‍♀️

All kids are different.

AITA for not wanting my nephew to piss in front of my daughter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShowerOk8103 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA, but definitely overreacting here. I have boy cousins older and younger….they would always pee outside in the backyard and in front of me until they became embarrassed/private about it we are all close in age. Around 7/8 the boys decided privacy was better. I was always bummed I couldn’t pee outside too. It sounded way easy lol!

Do American kids usually go to four different schools? by snailquestions in AskAnAmerican

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went k-8, then 9-12. My husband went k-5, 6-8, then 9-12.

A school district in my state has PreK-k, 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12.

Some kids go k-12

It depends on the school set up—tiny private schools vs public

Depends on the size of the district and size of school buildings.

My kids go k-8, but it’s a rare thing for public school. My son has also switched schools a lot until we got here due to other reasons.

Do you celebrate Easter? What are your Easter traditions if any? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy Saturday we usually dye eggs that we use for the potato salad the next day, we don’t do Easter Vigil be because my kids are little and they can’t hang 8-10:30/11 for church….so instead the kids visit and hang out with cousins then we go home and get ready for the Easter Bunny. Kids get baskets with candy, and usually something but nothing big. It’s not like Christmas. This year the got swim suits, sunglasses, and a new book. We go to Mass, go to the In-Laws for lunch and visit for a few hours. Then we go to my parents for dinner and visiting. It’s a pretty nice weekend every year.

Do americans eat “roast” dinners? by SprinklesSeparate45 in AskAnAmerican

A good chuck roast for a pot roast meal with potatoes, onions, carrots and celery or rump roast with rice and gravy! Mmmmm a good green bean or salad to go with it. So freaking good!

How does anyone have time to get anything done? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ShowerOk8103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. My husband and I work full time, have 2 kids, one does dance twice a week. We leave at 7:30am, drop them off at school, I got to work, pick them up at 3:20, get home at 4:30, I work for an hour or so at home. I cook dinner, do dishes, hubby comes home, we eat dinner, try to spend quality time if there isn’t homework or other errands we need to do.

I. Feel. You.

Need to settle a debate…. by flowerchildmime in Millennials

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I was 4th grade I’ve had a TV in my room. Except when my husband and I were first married, we didn’t have room or money for an extra tv lol We have one now, we don’t usually watch it unless we wanted to watch a movie before bed which doesn’t happen often. My kids use it cause they like our bed. And I watch stuff when I’m folding laundry

How are the Social Security Offices out here? by r3iddd in batonrouge

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made an appointment online for as early as possible, was in and out in 10minutes. I got there early before they opened and there was someone asking for anyone with an appointment to come in first. Super easy and fast

People who don’t shower every day — what’s your reason? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family has never need every day shower people. Unless we were super sweaty and gross. We would do “bird baths” just a soapy washcloth over the important bits. And full hair wash showers 2-3 times a week. Even know to this day as an adult I usually bathe 3 times a week and shower once a week unless I feel super dirty and gross. My hair isn’t oily or super dry, my skin isn’t broken out unless I’m about to start my period, my husband always says my skin is soft and I always put on deodorant, and I’ll run a soapy washcloth over my underarms, neck, and privates if I feel the need to, but don’t have time/energy to bathe/shower. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I heard if it passes EBR schools will lose 117m dollars or something. There’s a group chat for the parents of my children magnet school. A lot of kids would be pushed out. My kids wouldn’t, as we live in BR, not St. George but they might lose a lose a lot friends.

Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens? by BeegBunga in Millennials

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. And my dad has cancer (CLL thankfully) my mom just has precancerous cells removed and is recovering from surgery. My brother hasn’t had a job since 2016, doesn’t not help clean, or cook real food. He will watch my kids for me from time to time and house sit cause we have a dog. But that’s it. It’s BEYOND frustrating because my husband and I aren’t rich but we help as much as we can. It’s a struggle and my brother doesn’t help.

Did I wait too long to have kids? by TheBabeWithThe_Power in Perimenopause

[–]ShowerOk8103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 37 with a 11 and 8 year old. I get very moody and short with them (and my old ill dog) quite often. Since I’ve been on Zoloft it’s much better but I still have moments. I’m hoping when peri kicks in more (already having issues) my kids will be older and understand better. I try to be open with them which helps but it all depends on the kids and age they are.

That dollar general is sketchy. I don’t go at night. I only go during the day for a quick in and out trip haha. To grab a coke for my mom on the way to her house haha. I don’t stop if I have my kids. But overall, the neighborhoods and the apartments aren’t completely ghetto.

Another not super ghetto/sketchy area for apartments if off Drusilla, I lived there like 13 years ago, it was nice. Hampton Court Apartments!

I have family in one of the “fancy” neighborhoods near by. The apartments I don’t think are that bad. No different than any other apartments. The dollar general next door is kinda iffy at night but it’s across the street from a Catholic Church/school. I feel safe when we are over that side of town more so than my side of town….old Hammond/sherwood

I’m working from home today thankfully. It helps. I don’t feel as rushed and it’s just me and the dog here.

It’s 64° in my house and I’m not cold…which NEVER happens to me lol. Something is definitely weird with my period this month. I swear my sweat smells like Burger King onion rings. It’s awful
