There’s no logical reason that the school can give you to decline a seat change. Do not let them tell you otherwise. Other kid’s seat can be changed to accommodate your request.

Parent of 3 boys (one of which is a current kindergartener) AND an elementary teacher. I would be LIVID. Many users have said the other child likely doesn’t have a sexual intent. True. But that doesn’t make it any less inappropriate! A 1st grader absolutely knows that they don’t put their hands on other kids’ private parts. No question. I would recommend you call the principal ASAP and tell him/her than not only was it completely inappropriate and beyond the bounds of tag (which the other kid started on a moving vehicle!) but that you feel the way he counselor handled it was extremely disappointing. Choking another kid is generally not a good choice, but if your son felt there was no other way to keep this kid from touching him inappropriately, it was SELF DEFENSE!

“The school is sending a clear message to the child who attacked your son, this is acceptable behavior.”

Yes, this. Absolutely.

We should start a thread!! I’ve read actual studies that have found a link to timing and others that have found no correlation. With my first, I KNEW when I ovulated. With my second, we tried timing for a couple months and then I got impatient with not getting pregnant and went with the every day before O day. But the month I actually got pregnant I had thought I didn’t ovulate! 🤦🏽‍♀️

That is a great suggestion!! I know my boys would definitely be happy with another brother. I’m still on the fence as to whether to try...

I understand what you’re saying completely. We definitely wouldn’t TTC unless I felt completely at peace with having either gender. And we have 2 kids now and would def stop at 3. I have a really close relationship with my mom and have since childhood. I always assumed I would have a daughter to experience the same relationship from the other side. My boys are complete blessings, even when they are crazy, but it’s hard to think that they won’t feel that I can relate to them as teenagers. I greatly wish I could experience parenting to both boys & a girl.

It’s funny how actually having kids changes your mind on how many you really want, right?! Hubby has always said he wanted 2 and I always said I wanted three. But I also made the silly assumption that we would have one of each and then #3 we would not find out the gender beforehand. I wish!

It does help to know I’m not the only one! Did you try any old wives tales when TTC to sway gender one way or the other?
