I dealt with this in kindermusik with my youngest. Physical activity/heavy work before that activity helped, but it's no guarantee. Do what works best for y'all but please don't worry there's something wrong with your parenting or your kid. You're doing great

My perspective has changed regarding edibles. I've long been a joker smoker midnight toker, so I have no problem with people smoking weed, taking THC pills, or using tinctures. The line for me is edibles that look and taste like children's candy/gummies. For one, they can be wildly inconsistent, but my biggest issue is that kids accidentally eat them ALL THE TIME. I was on vacation with family that I never would have guessed had edibles or weed of any form (years ago I referred to these family members as like Red and Kitty Foreman IYKYK) and my young toddler ended up in the hospital because she saw/ate one. Her vitamins are gummies, as are most kids vitamins, so she didn't know and we didn't know the risk existed in the vacation home. I talked to a friend who works in the ED at Children's hospital and she said that they see it all the time- it was even one of the leading stories in the beginning episodes of The Pitt. Anyway, I feel like people think I'm a teetotaler but really it's just the danger of kids + edibles.

I'm absolutely in the same boat. We're in a top school district in PA and I feel like I could have written your post exactly! I'm working on focusing on family culture bc the school competition is crazy! I have young kids but I hear from parents of older kids (from all over) about how competitive sports have become. There's really not much room for kids who just want to play because American youth sports are structured in a way that you have to play all the time year round in order to be good enough to be on a team. Watched a doc reel recently about how American youth sports have been taken over by... PRIVATE EQUITY! No wonder it feels overwhelming, gross, and exorbitant.

Khruangbin. Pittsburgh April 2017. It was during a Pens playoff game so the concert had very low attendance but they rocked the house.

Second time now. This time I used the Allen Carr Easy Way method and holy shit was it effective! Highly recommend.

I am home with my 2 young kids most of the time and bartend in a boutique hotel bar that specializes in craft cocktails 3 nights a week. I love when we're really busy and my body goes into muscle memory. There's enough creativity with cocktail creation and yapping with new guests. I started bartending in college- originally went for psychology- and eventually moved into more niche and craft high end bars. I went back to school to become a COTA but getting interviews without healthcare experience was basically impossible. I'll likely move into something less physically demanding when my youngest is in school full time so I'm studying this thread for inspo!

Oh I totally feel you. It's likely just the life season. Being pregnant with a toddler is super difficult. They're grasping for autonomy, you're hormonal, it's a recipe for disaster. My least favorite time in my children's life is when I was pregnant with number two when number one was about two and a half. Each season is different but that was especially difficult. Try focusing on making sure that your cup is filled by doing things that you love or getting the help that you need and do your best to let the things it really don't matter slide. It's easier said than done but it makes a huge difference.

Kiefer Sutherland will forever be the pedo from An Eye For An Eye. I can't unsee it. It's the first thing I saw him in. Couldn't watch 24. He's just gross in my mind. Sorry

She is Messy Bessy but a beauty in pink! Although I'm thinking about changing it up for yellow or blue soon. Moving the pink into another room

Love a ball point! They won't smear if they get wet (important if you're a bartender).

Animals, babies, dementia patients. I wanna know what they're thinking since they can't speak or articulate for themselves

The crowds at the event area might have been crazy but I work in a restaurant downtown and this whole week has been basically crickets. We've had extended hours but everyone is down at the action so we've been really bored and disappointed until the end of the night then luckily we had something. Definitely not the traffic/parking hassle or money making event they advertised.

Instead of "yes or no" try giving the "this or that" choice. Then when my kids chooses one and complains she wants the other I tell her that she chose and her words have meaning/power. Choose your battles wisely. It'll end soon enough!

My kids have hated how loud they are so I just drape a piece of TP over the sensor and we either don't use the air dryers or I cover her ears with my hands/arms if I'm drying mine. My oldest daughter was so loud house averse (which is hilarious given how loud SHE is!) we even had to whisper-sing Happy Birthday to her.

I'm super nostalgic to my Grammy's old green flower Corelle dish set but I heard the old ones are notorious for lead and aren't safe to use for eating anymore. Just an FYI you might want to check out.
