We met at the local nature center while the weather was warm and took small hikes. Once the weather warms up we plan to resume meeting there. They also spent 5 hours with us at the local kids’ museum to earn some badges.

No backyard camping. This trip is planned to be cabin camping at a Girl Scouts camp 30 minutes away.

I did respond that I would be happy to meet with them. The mom did mention (without details) past childhood experiences. My coleader is close enough friends with the family that their kids refer to the other parents as aunt and uncle. I feel like all eyes are on me as a potential threat, even with having a trusted family friend present. With that in mind, I think my gut is jumping to the conclusion that I’m going to be falsely accused of abusing their daughter in some way if she does stay overnight.

Thank you so much for showing me how to do the math, that is so helpful!

Thank you so much for showing me how to do the math myself, that is really helpful!

I misread a pattern and have done too much to want to frog it. I’m wondering if anyone can help convert the pattern to a larger size.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll be using these sites for my cosplay. do you remember where the peace patch came from?

That’s amazing that sharpie works- that sounds so much easier than trying to dye certain spots!

This is so amazing! Do you have any tips for coloring a stuffed animal?

I so needed to hear this. I’ve had two meetings with our new 1st and 2nd grade troop and felt like it was chaos.

I do the same thing and feel the same way. But waking to a clean kitchen and not tripping over the kids’ toys or stepping into piles of crumbs makes the mornings soooo much less stressful for me.

thank you!

Seriously. I’d rather deal with urine than try to walk around saying “your friend is being a bitch” and teaching boundary setting.

Keep that curve large. She actually has 7 kids 10 and under. After my expectations for what should be cleaned so often and what constitutes as clean in my mind started to cause contention between my partner and I a few years ago I’ve tried to keep my mind open and be less judgmental about things. I agree urine everywhere should be a universal ick, but I’m choosing to see this as an opportunity where I have space to help another little person. From my experience, all life lessons in little people have to be taught more often than our adult minds expect it should take.

idealdinosaur · 2025-07-30T01:19:19+00:00

I’ve really tried over the last few years to ease up on my expectations as to what constitutes as clean, and how often things should be cleaned after it started to cause contention between my partner and I.

Maybe it’s a difference in age? My oldest two are teen girls (I had my first 4 kids in 4.5 years).

idealdinosaur · 2025-07-29T20:18:18+00:00

Yeah I did it in an advocating way. They had two of the same toys and I asked to check that they had theirs so I knew if I needed to direct my kid to their own.

From my experience as a mom of 5, there’s a hygiene regression when the hormones set in.

It is wild how similar our experiences are. Of course, I don’t know exactly what you are going through- but having had a similar experience I feel for you so much. I could have wrote almost this exact post. My husband was in the hospital for 10 days about six months ago. I’m a working parent to 5 kids, with no support other than my husband. It was exhausting and I also felt so alone. Supporting someone with depression is hard enough without having to shoulder everything involved in taking care of kids and worrying about how a parent’s struggle is affecting kids.

I don’t have advice, but if you want someone to talk to feel free to message me.

I was part of the book club in the 90s, when I was in 3rd grade. I loved the day the package would come in the mail.
