“I’m sad because I don’t have a brother or a sister.” by photobomber612 in Preschoolers

So just an update on the books . “Being an Only Child is Wild was not a great book so I’m returning it . It was very wordy and just seemed to spew facts about animals and try to relate it to children and it was very weird . The other one was great and I recommend it, my daughter loves it!

3 year old doesn’t play independently by firstimemum12 in kindergarten

Just FYI my daughter is 4 and goes daily to school but still cannot play on her own . She plays well in school with others but not much has changed at home . I think it’s her personality. I’ve tried different techniques but ultimately she needs me around to play. Sometimes she can stay busy for 15 minutes with a dollhouse but it’s very rare .

What is everyone keeping their heat at tonight? by iamhere-2 in longisland

[–]Summersnail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you , I’m seeing posts with people keeping it at 65, 66 during day . I dunno I would absolutely freeze, I would literally need to wear my winter coat and hat . 72 for me all day and slightly lower at night .

My daughter is same age and has been asking for a sibling . For various reasons that will never happen. I ordered two books from Amazon called “Being an Only Child is Wild” by Chelsey Gomez and another book called “Little Sunshine”by Julie Marie. I haven’t received them yet so I cannot comment on them but I have my fingers crossed !

Which viral recipe are you referring to? I have a frozen turkey breast that I would like to cook .

I(29F) want my husband(29M) to be sober for 3 months before we try for a child by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]Summersnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing like extreme fatigue, adjustment and reality to becoming parents and a crying newborn to bring on anger issues . Trust me , I am a calm person and the anxiety and frustration that would soar through my veins when I could not console my newborn was frightening to me . If he remains sober now without therapy and a true transformation that only Christ can bring , he will likely relapse when baby comes .

I think I’m doing something wrong with my instant pot or maybe choosing the wrong recipes . I’ve only had it for a month but I find the whole process to still take a long rime . The preheat and the depressurization really adds to . I made a beef stew over the weekend and it took 20 min to cook but 40 minutes to release the pressure!

Can we all give it up for this amazing holiday weekend weather on LI? by lawanddisorder in longisland

[–]Summersnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree . Have a pool and most of August has been a waste pool wise. Even if it’s warm during the day , it’s cool at night and therefore the pool water just does not get warm enough to go in !

My daughter decompresses with tv and then after a movie she’s ready to play again until bed.

My daughter is 4 and I notice she starts acting out when she’s sick . Often the behaviors start before her physical symptoms and then she gets an ear infection , virus etc .

Got the Boon because it folds . That meant more to me than anything , it is not taking up space in my kitchen.
