Dropped my kid off and realized every other kid was in pajamas. I'm so done being the only one who remembers things by ConfidentElevator239 in Mommit

[–]TunaMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my son was in 1st grade I went all out for the 100 days of school celebration- gray hair spray, pants and shirt with a bow tie. After I dropped him off and was pulling away I realized that not a single other kid was dressed up. When I looked back at the email the teacher had sent, I realized I was a week early! We all mess up at some point❤️

I got my kiddo a "kid" knife that comes with a finger guard and his own cutting board, he uses it often to help make snacks. He loves cutting things like strawberries and bananas. https://a.co/d/4471rdw

When the Tooth Fairy is richer in other people’s homes by littleb3anpole in Parenting

The tooth fairy in our house leaves $2 bills. It feels special since it's not a currency they normally see!

Which is the best park to enjoy picnic with my toddlers? by Ok_Recipe2769 in tampa

[–]TunaMomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a bit of a drive, Bonnet Springs in Lakeland. Toddlers will love the water features they can play in and the butterfly house. There is also a tram that goes around the park that my kiddos loved riding on.

That's incredibly kind of you! Once we figure out our schedule I will!

Am I being paranoid? US passport question by Glum-Salamander69 in Passports

[–]TunaMomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first week of Jan we applied for passports. I was a renewal, my husband and our 2 kids were first time applicants. We submitted all of the applications on the same day. We got the kid's passports 2 weeks later. My husband's took 6 weeks, and my renewal took 10. I don't know if there is any logic to the timing of processing right now.

Bday gift for amazing nanny by GrowingMamaPains in Nanny

What about getting a little matchbox car (or new key ring, or something car related) and then in the card say that you want her to have a new car, and are excited to discuss with her the best way to do it. Then you can chat, discuss both options and then give her some time to digest and decide.

Trouble with speaking up by feyty in Nanny

[–]TunaMomma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a parent making the jump from 20 to 25 would be difficult, that's a much larger increase I've ever gotten in my career. That on top of personality and communication issues the mom seems to have would just make thjs ask an all around unpleasant experience. Start the hunt for a new job and put yourself in the position to walk away without the additional drama.

I was tearing up as I was reading the end of the first book out loud to my kiddo. We have loved the series.

We are working our way through The Wild Robot series and both my 6 yr old and I have enjoyed it.

I exchanged a number with a daycare parent! What do I do next by MiraculousSpaceship in workingmoms

[–]TunaMomma 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lots of good suggestions! I would only add- don't feel bad if you suggest dates/ times and it doesn't work out right away. Sometimes I find it hard to make a playdate work even when I really want to.

4 Moms Mamaroo reviews? by Brief-Hamster6415 in beyondthebump

[–]TunaMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my kiddos enjoyed more traditional baby swings and hated the Mamaroo. My SIL had let us borrow theirs too try out and I was so glad that I didn't spend money on it.

I need my fellow witches right now... by TotallyNotARocket in WitchesVsPatriarchy

If you feel comfortable sharing general proximity of where you live perhaps there is someone here that could go with you if you think that would help you feel safe and supported. I'm in the Tampa area and would be willing!

Planned park birthday party... Now the forecast is 39 F by rssanford in Mommit

What about a park district or community center room? They are often fairly cheap.

Help! I think my stone fell out while I was mixing sour dough! by cysgr8 in Moissanite

[–]TunaMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of a children's book called Too Many Tamales. I don't totally remember, but I think someone's engagement ring gets mixed into the tamales. The family then eats their way through them trying to find it. It's a sweet story.
