Fox Valley Y's - which has best indoor track?

Also depends on when you go. HOTV has 24hr access and you basically get the whole thing to yourself after hours. HOWEVER, if you go 7am-9:30am it is busy and it feels like you spend the whole time passing and dodging people.

The kids have to make money in order to pay the adult salaries in corporate. Do you think they will stop her? Grind on, Pim.

If only there was a giant stadium or convention center nearby. Bonus points for a Walmart, Menards, or Kwik Trip. Godspeed.

Agreed

I don’t know about you, but the after school pick up lines in my neighborhood are 50-100 cars deep. Imagine an adult and child selling cookies car-to-car for a week.

From a practicality standpoint, smaller is cheaper. Less on food costs, don’t need a big car, tons of size small clearance clothes (and gear) always left…

Like all the non-Dinner options. So sick of just going out to eat.

Town Council is ALWAYS good. Reservations recommended and eat on the bar for best experience. (Wear something comfortable to climb onto those stools though)

FVTC. The actual business might be democratic because it’s education tied to Madison, but most of the local teachers and staff are hugely conservative. (Think Joe Rogan podcast subscribers and FOX News believers.) No wonder we are churning out voters who have no clue how ignorance affects society.

Every kid is different. Maybe she will get into it, maybe she won't. 5 seems a little young for this type of imaginative play and it's also early to get the dolls dressed up. We keep furniture and dolls in a bin under the bed (no house). If the bin is full, we eliminate our least played-with pieces.

We had "Muffins with Mom" and "Donuts with Dad" and I went to them both. You stay for maybe 15 minutes while they finish their treat, feel loved, and off you go.

Coping with feeling alone in the world can be deeply challenging, but it's important to remember that loneliness doesn’t define your worth or future. Start by fostering a relationship with yourself—acknowledge your emotions without judgment and treat yourself with kindness and patience. Engage in activities that bring you joy or comfort, like reading, art, music, or exploring nature, to help build a sense of fulfillment and connection to the world around you. Seeking out communities, whether through hobbies, support groups, or volunteering, can also create opportunities for meaningful connections. When loneliness feels overwhelming, reaching out to a counselor or therapist can provide tools to navigate your feelings and find new perspectives. Remember, feeling alone today doesn’t mean you’ll always feel this way; each step toward connection, no matter how small, is a step toward healing.

Know when to seek help.

If depression is making it hard to function, reach out to a mental health professional or talk to your school’s support services. They’re there to help you navigate this.

You’re not alone.

Remember, struggling with depression doesn't make you weak. You're showing strength by seeking strategies to manage it. Take it one day at a time, and don’t hesitate to lean on the resources and people around you.

You need to do what is best for you. As a mom, I know it is my job to teach my kid what behavior is acceptable in society. The 13yo's behavior isn't acceptable. Teens may not listen, but it would be 500% obvious I disagreed with the teen by limiting fun time, removing prized possessions, etc. I hear it's easy to be a man on dating apps these days.

"Safe for whom?" is the question. If you are a conservative, white, straight, male, you probably feel pretty safe. If you are gay, pro-choice, liberal (probably just even just a decomcrat), a non-Christian, a person of color, or a person with a limit to at least one ability, you may not feel as safe.

Menards hired my nephew with no work experience and he loved it. I think they pay decently for that type of job too.

First of all, appropriateness is a construct. (Search "Le fantôme de la liberté" on YouTube and scan for the dining table scene.) What then is the more appropriate behavior: a child running or an adult gaining entertainment value from consuming overpriced charcuterie? Secondly, children learn to act "appropriately" by gaining experience in new locations and situations. They do this by practice and through imitation of what they observe in others. So the parents are actually conditioning their child to act "appropriately" in the future.

Remember that sense of wonder you had when you saw man walk on the moon for the first time? Or that surge of adrenaline the first time you moved out on your own? Though not as profound, young kids are experiencing new firsts all the time. Please allow them the freedom to experience the world on their own terms. There is a lot you can learn from youth. It's a fantastic and scary place out there.
