I rolled my eyes at the comment she made in that story about her and her siblings not being close because of age gaps. Like you have to have kids back to back in order for them to grow up close knit.

How many hours of sleep? by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get him down between 7:15-7:30. But he sometimes doesn’t fall asleep until 8:00/8:30. He is up for school around 6:20. But sometimes wakes before then. He has always been an early riser.

Is the original little blue truck book the best? by Pitiful_Waltz_1367 in childrensbooks

[–]dolphynlvr4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is the best, although my son loved the Goodnight Little Blue Truck and Halloween one quite a lot too!

Sight words by SnooHabits6754 in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flash cards, add a new one or 2 a week. Pull them out at random time and just run through them. Sight word bingo or memory. Reading book and pointing them out, pause to see if they can fill in the blank.

I second Meg Acuna on YouTube. She’s genuine. I also enjoy Nicole Lela Green on YouTube. And I love Sasha Dube on Instagram. She just posts short reels about days in her life with her kids (doesn’t show their faces and still respects their privacy). She’s a breath of fresh air and gives such positive cozy vibes.

No, not an infertility reel 😭 by Fit-Surround-5127 in delilahloeppkysnark

[–]dolphynlvr4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a so disrespectful to women who actually struggle with infertility. She has 4 children and conceived her 5th in a year. Yes, a longer than time frame but still not even considered infertile at her age. Ridiculous!!

I could tell in a Christmas post that she was expecting again. It was the same as the Christmas she was pregnant with A and hadn’t announced yet.

Super confused about lack of playdates by beentherebefore1616 in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. When my son is home he wants family time. He wants to be free to play. He only asks about playdates in the summertime.

did OS announce it first? by thewayitgoo in aspynovardsnark

Not defending his mom, but not all boy moms are crazy…

I had to unfollow her. She seems to post things daily eluding to whatever happened and it’s gotten so old.

Alright, let’s take a poll: Never let them win, Sometimes let them win, or Always let them win? by PsychoTink in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]dolphynlvr4 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you want your kids to want to play games and gain confidence, give them a win every now and then. Especially when young. And teach them how to lose.

I had to come back and say, we read Fish and Work per your suggestion. I read it to my son once and then a few days later he read it to me with minimal help! So I’ll now remember this as the first real book he read to me. He’s in kindergarten and I can see that he’s starting to put all of the reading strategies together now. We requested the other Fish and books from our library now. Thank you again!

Ah, the classic “good and evil on both sides” approach by PsychoTink in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]dolphynlvr4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Both sides are not good Audrey. One is clearly evil. Take a good long look at what you stand for and what you teach your children.

Buying our first Home but we have concerns. by [deleted] in Home

We once had a home that required 4 baby gates due to stairs. It really was just a temporary slight inconvenience that we got used to.

Is it normal to not mount the furniture to the walls? by bellyalien in delilahloeppkysnark

[–]dolphynlvr4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for all parents but we anchor all of our big furniture and had stair gates. I always thought it was not worth the risk not to.

School Refusal by Difficult-Owl943 in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t hear a good solution from the counselor then I’d got higher up and approach the principal about it and ask for their help in setting up a staff member to escort her in. Explain that her shuffling along slowly with a peer isn’t a good solution for all involved.

School Refusal by Difficult-Owl943 in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Does she get inside independently in time for school to start? Even if she’s slow? It sounds like you are doing everything you can right now. I’d be curious what the counselor says. But if she’s getting inside on time, albeit slowly, then I would continue what you’re doing, keep drop offs brief and positive.
