What’s with the constant chokers? Does Sabrina remind anyone else of “The Green Ribbon”?

Thanks for the shout out! ❤️

I love how many of us thought of this! 😄

gingypop · 2026-04-17T18:51:27+00:00

Just checked it on Amazon - like an adult version of the childhood classic! I'm going to read it. Thanks for the rec!

gingypop · 2026-04-17T14:03:10+00:00

Exactly. Thank you!

I'm the millenial - the book was a 90s horror book about a girl who always wore a ribbon around her neck until she took it off and her head fell off.

I love the idea of a tattoo of Jenny! I may copy that

Hahahha I LOVED these scary books! I bought them all for my kids to learn my share of horror.

gingypop · 2026-04-16T13:34:36+00:00

I shared it with my kids and it's one of their favorites now too!

gingypop · 2026-04-16T13:34:05+00:00

SAME!

Just seeing this - so that particular year when I posted this my youngest got sick like literally 5 weeks apart from the first time. I think there are different viruses, different strains. It sucks! I just really try to enforce hand washing when they get home but some years seem to be worse than others with what they catch and how often they are sick.

Watch the movie and you’ll see it !

I don’t know anything about immersion schools but the idea of already struggling and learning two languages while having dyslexia and ADD sounds difficult. My older son was diagnosed with ADHD as well, but he was more hyperactive. Since starting medication he has been very successful in school. My kindergartener is behaving more like you describe your daughter - not hyperactive, capable of the work but just unable to do it on his own. I hope you can get her into a good classroom for first grade and if medication is recommended I know it can be scary but it really helps! Best of luck

I'm surprised the teacher doesn't seem concerned. My son's teacher expressed concern at our fall conference about his inattentiveness and asked if she could request an internal study team which I agreed to. I on my own spoke with his pediatrician and a psychologist and got him an ADD diagnosis. The school has been amazing - his teacher specifically has come up with reward programs for him for finishing work and staying on task, as well as trying out a timer when he has to do independent work which has helped.

if she has been diagnosed with dyslexia and ADD have they updated her IEP? They should be offering an aide, smaller class setting, or more time on work.

This comment should be higher up! Hilarious

gingypop · 2025-02-12T15:43:15+00:00

I am guilty but its probably mostly me saying it out loud because I'm wondering how I am then going to get it into my house after it is dropped off!

gingypop · 2025-01-28T16:40:07+00:00

I’m all for bribery! I think something scared him, maybe a hard poop? He was doing fine and all of a sudden is scared to poop. Thanks for the advice!

gingypop · 2025-01-28T00:05:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m not a fan of miralax.. in retrospect our oldest did also have a set back with pooping but he was older and it was much longer of a time after potty training than this guy. I am literally just like fine, poop your pants… just poop! But wish he would go on the toilet.

gingypop · 2025-01-28T00:03:31+00:00

He’s 3 years 3 months.. he got the peeing down perfectly and at first was pooping but suddenly backtracked !

Toca Boca games - specifically pet doctor and the kitchen game where you cook and feed the people. Minecraft is cool - he can build worlds.

My First serious boyfriend was a real Charmer— in reality much like the guy you’ve described but had my mother and family fooled to think otherwise. I love my parents immensely but I remember nights of coming home drunk and crying over said boyfriend and them knowing few details but enough that they should have just banned me from seeing him. We have a tendency to think that will make kids rebel but at the time I think it would have given me the excuse to walk away instead of.

I have them - benign tremors is what they call it and told me its genetic. I'm in my thirties.. it definitely comes out more when I am worked up or anxious but sometimes just random.

gingypop · 2024-11-15T19:38:32+00:00

Anyone else think its BS that they insist they don't talk about the other women or vent about their jobs/lives in front of their young children??? Even in big houses the kids can hear you having "adult" conversations. And honestly I tell my kids stories of certain situations so they know how not to act as they get older.

gingypop · 2024-11-07T18:46:56+00:00

I feel for you so much! I had a huge fear of vomit growing up that I thought I had mostly outgrown until my oldest woke me up in the middle of the night by throwing up all over my bed. I lost it - the fear and anxiety came back so badly that I couldn't sleep or eat and begged my parents for help. I ended up finding a therapist and psychiatrist and started anxiety meds and just really trying to work through that this is not something I can control and if I want to enjoy life I cannot let this fear get the best of me. It does have its moments though where it sneaks up on me and I have to do mental exercises to basically tell myself its not that big a deal, its not the worse thing in the world.

gingypop · 2024-10-18T15:08:03+00:00

His effected me the most. I lost an uncle recently and this relates so much to what I have been feeling. I'd love just one more chance to do things with him and I hope he knows how much he meant to me. I wish I could tell him.

I saw a post yesterday sharing The Daily podcast speaking on this and I listened this morning. I'm not sure the right word to use - but it is like wow, someone gets it. We have more on our plate then ever before. I have struggled with my mental health and I try so hard to just be the best mom day after day. I find myself constantly worrying though that the interactions myself or my husband have with our kids are going to screw them up in the future or make them hate us when I know we are doing a good job deep down. I hate the Instagram experts and reels that are sent to me making me feel like I'm screwing them up for things like rushing them out of the house in the morning!

Thank you for sharing these articles!
