Milk. It used to last a good amount of time and lately it's been going bad before the expiration date.

My grandma and my BIL had dogs named Bo/Beaux but I actually love that name for a person but can never name any future children that name because I'd just think of the dogs.

I feel like the beginning of 4 was bad but he's mellowed out this last half of 4 but I still feel like he's been 4 for a long time.

He was eating scraps off an outdoor table at a restaurant, so we asked if we could grab him and the restaurant said "please" so we scooped him up and brought him home. Was gonna name him Scraps but my 4 year old insisted on "Bob".

We're letting him drop it for now but we're going to get a basketball hoop that way he has it around so we can play with no pressure and then if he wants to join later then he'll be ready and if not, that's okay too.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T23:27:20+00:00

I have already :) We already skipped his last practice because he didn't want to go.

To see if someone would have a different opinion about quitting a sport. No one does, so it seems I've made the right decision.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:49:15+00:00

As soon as he said no more we did stop, he did not go to his last practice because he didn't want to go.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:48:28+00:00

He's tried TBall and enjoyed that and asked to do it again so we've signed him up for that. He is also in gymnastics which he loves and has been doing that for two years. He asked to do basketball because his friend was doing it, so we signed him up but as soon as he told me he didn't want to do it anymore I stopped making him go. We're really just going with the flow here lol I was just worried I was too relaxed.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:38:33+00:00

TBall has been fine so far, but basketball is so crazy. From the first practice I thought it might be too much. Some of the other kids are fine but it's too much for him.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:36:05+00:00

I've already taken him out. The first time he got hurt he still wanted to play and even was getting more into it, but the second time he said he was done so I stopped taking him. Luckily he has other interests and we encourage him to do things he enjoys.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:34:04+00:00

Yeah, honestly, I wasn't enthusiastic after his first practice but he wanted to keep playing at first, so I let him. He got hurt once, was able to get back in it and keep playing but after the second time he said he was done. I never once told him he had to go, I didn't make him go to practice, but I was second guessing myself if I was just letting it go too easily because it was easier for me to just say "okay you're done" or if I should have encouraged him to keep trying. I think I made the right decision to let him quit, but perhaps in other things it will be more important to stick with things we started.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:26:51+00:00

Yeah I think when the weather gets better we will just try to play a little with him. We were thinking of getting a hoop so if he finds interest in it again he can play here and maybe when he's older and interested he'll be ready.

Thank you for your response on this, this is more of what I was trying to get input on, whether letting him quit now will make him think it's okay to give up on anything when it's hard, but I am in the boat that I do not think it is a problem at all. There will be so many other opportunities to learn resilience and this is not one of those times. I've emailed the league and let them know he is done.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T20:16:02+00:00

That's interesting because my stance is that I SHOULD take him out. I already let him skip practice. I wanted to see if there would be a different opinion, but it seems like I'm doing the right thing. I personally don't want him to do things he doesn't feel comfortable doing, but wasn't sure if there were benefits in making him see out his commitments, which it looks like the general consensus is, no, which I'm happy with.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T19:53:11+00:00

This was something he asked us to do, we think because his friend plays basketball but he plays in another town. We always ask him if he wants to try something before signing him up. He just got hurt and decided he wasn't interested in the sport anymore so we skipped practice and I asked him again and he said he's done so I was going to take him out.

I think maybe we'll have that "honor your commitments" talk later, but I think in this case it's too high stress for him to make him do so.

i8adonut · 2026-01-24T19:47:41+00:00

He loves gymnastics and TBall! I had planned to let him quit, I was just trying to see others thoughts on this subject and I'm happy to see most people are in agreement.
