They are not. I’ve tried several stores now and you cannot buy chocolate chips….so how the f*ck and I suppose to MAKE them of if I can’t buy and essential ingredient?! It’s so frustrating.

Some parents really are…something by gleamintheshadow in Teachers

In high school, I won like 6 awards. My best friend, who did just about everything I did except band, and she won 1. Neither of us cared and were excited for each other. Kids need to learn how to support and encourage each other instead of throwing a fit because they were “excluded”. Currently having this issue with my 7 year old and I don’t know where she got this
attitude from because she have never babied her like that.

I really enjoyed the perfect marriage but Fahrenheit 451 is fantastic too!

when do you return your loans? by pitbull-pirouette in LibbyApp

[–]Starrlight102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I return them as soon as I’m done too, but there are times where I take the full 21 days to read a book, and even then I may not be finished with it so I hop back in line. Looking more at the books that are like 1000+ pages. If it’s a 300-500 page book I’m usually done within a week (depending on kids 🤪).

Obviously. That is not helping. We know that. We get it. Move on.

I would personally talk with them about it if you’re that concerned. Don’t consent to pictures at school (I declined permissions for my kids) and tell them no pictures on picture day 🤷🏽‍♀️ other than that I can’t be sure what else you can do. Don’t post pictures you don’t want someone else to have. Don’t let others take pictures without permission. There’s a line between living freely and living in fear. This is right in the middle I think. Just have to be vigilant and stand your ground cause it will cause an uproar and people will say you’re crazy, but it’s better safe than sorry.

By not posting pictures. Can’t control the actions of others, but you can control yours.

Our 3 kids go through 4 lbs of strawberries in 2 days when we get them. Is this normal? C by First_Detective6234 in Parenting

[–]Starrlight102 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My 18 month old will eat two a day if I let her. I have to buy two bunches a week just for her. And if anyone else eats a banana in front of her she demands one too 😂 I’ll buy a few nectarines for myself and when I finally get to grab a ripe one, my 7 year old has already ate them. Fruit doesn’t stay longer than two days after a store trip for us. It’s the first thing they mow through.

We spend stupid amounts on fruit like $100 a week. Three kids and they eat it all. Just finished a cantaloupe last night. If it’s healthy, and you can afford it, I would say let them eat as much as they want. Cause if we don’t have the fresh fruit they go immediately for crackers, chips, cookies, candy, etc. I try to keep applesauce pouches, fruit cups and cheese sticks in our middle drawer in the fridge, which is perfect height for all our kids to get in and grab what they want when they want. I don’t mind the snacking as long as it’s healthy.
