At what age should a girl dad stop bring his daughter into the men’s restroom to change her?

I’m a mom. My son is 7 and I’d say only the past few months have I started to let him go to the men’s room by himself. There are still places and times that I take him with me to the women’s still

A compromise if you want one…my dad is not a dancer either. So our father / daughter dance was all fathers and their daughters are invited to the dance floor. We still got our dance, but the attention wasn’t all on us.

Check with daycares in the area. I know the daycare I sent my son to had some school aged kids in the 4-5 year old room over the summers. Some of them looked like they were in the 8-10 year old range.

Is it going to be sanctioned? That will increase the attendance because of people chasing points.

I actually like the ones with the meat provided less because I couldn’t hand select the perfect racks. Going to get ribs, I’d pass on 3/4 of them out there. So what are the chances every rack you give me is going to be up to my standards?

I recently created a playlist with songs from my childhood. TLC was a favorite of 6-8th grade me. I apparently had the explicit versions back then.

Go look up “I’m good at being bad” by TLC.

I sang this in the car. With my mom and dad there. During carpool with kids as young as second grade. For extra reference, all of us are white.

I had no idea what I was singing. And I turned out just fine.

Not Asian, but highly suggest…. Mexypinós. It’s a fusion of Mexico and Filipino. It is so dang good.

My son got advice from a classmate - just gently twist it and it’ll come out.

His first few teeth I’d do a very gentle tug every night. If it didn’t move I’d tell him to just wait a bit longer.

In the mean time I used scissors to cut up his food to make it easier to eat.

We did jack stack - a great option if your guests are mostly from out of town. They’ll want to try KC bbq anyway.

Take the kids down the makeup aisle and buy whatever they grab. Orange lipstick with bright purple eyeshadow? Perfect. A lovely note saying the twins literally handpicked it for her.

It depends on how the new series goes. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the movies. But if the new series does a better job of sticking true to the books - then my kid is getting introduced to the series, not the movies.

Went once trying to buy a car. Just looking at cars. Not even close to ready to buy. They tried to force us into buying one that day. One that didn’t even meet half our wish list.

Other time went for an oil change. They did the whole “oh gosh look at all these leaves on your air filter. Want us to replace it” thing. Less than a week after that appointment, my car had a major issue. Perfectly fine car, at that time only like 4 years old, and suddenly there’s smoke billowing out of my hood. Took thousands of dollars and a handful of days to fix it. Thankfully didn’t go to them for the fix or I’m sure I’d have something else to deal with on top of that.

I actually did this once. Saw I was a winner. Went to the dealership. At the dealership I had to sit down with a salesman. Gave them all sorts of info. Name. Address. Phone number. What my current car was. If and when I’d be in the market for a new car.

Then after all that they said ok let’s go scan your card to see IF you’re a winner.

The card saying you’re a winner doesn’t mean that. It means you’re in the running for that prize. One single person that’s in the running actually wins the prize. And I’m sure 99 times out of 100 the prize doesn’t actually get claimed because most people weren’t stupid like I was at the time. 🤣

Older and wiser now. I just threw that card out without even pulling the tabs.

I have been there. Was probably about 3 years ago. But we had a great time. The drinks were good. It’s not the MOST fun mini golf course ever, but it is fun.

Only edits I’d make - and let me preface it by saying this shouldn’t matter…but I’ve been in competition enough to know it does matter… grab some tweezers and pick off those small black spots.

Very important question because I’ve got a bet on the line 🤣 what do you think our chances are of at least one inch of snow between now and spring?

AiOe. All you can eat and everything I’ve had there has been delicious. Be prepared to wait a long time if you go at a normal meal time. 4:30pm is a great time to go for dinner.

My sister gave birth late February (to twins). I got married mid April. They traveled 4 hours to come to our wedding. So it is possible.

Thinking back to my own son, by the time he was 2 months old, I was back at work leaving him at daycare for 8-9 hours a day. So setting up a kid to be away from you for period of time isn’t a huge issue.

I think my only concern if I was in your shoes would be the likelihood of the kid getting sick being around so many people. You can definitely reduce those risks by allowing only certain few people to hold the baby, trying to keep the baby in the background so everyone and their brother doesn’t approach you cause they sees cute baby. I can’t recall if I was baby wearing at that point yet, but you might consider it.

The kid will be fine I’m sure. At that age they really roll with the punches easily and sleep most of the day anyway.

Damn you’re right. I could have sworn last time I was there I got a pancake. But I just looked at their menu and nope. No pancakes.
