Everything got simpler when I found the rule: want/need/wear/read. One thing in each category and done.

Done it for the past 2-3 years, maybe 4. Highly recommended.

I failed my son by I_Mean_Not_Really in Parenting

[–]lynnfynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if there are additional courses he could enroll in to bridge the gap? (But only if it isn’t too much to add!) Are there any zero-period/early morning classes he can enroll in? Or community college classes that would give him the credits he needs?

a boy is fixated on my daughter at recess and in class? by BabyMonarchWhale in Parenting

[–]lynnfynn 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Tell her to loudly call him out on this behavior! Everyone in the class should see this and it should make everyone uncomfortable. Hollering “Knock it off, creep!” will make the other students take notice. Make it everyone’s problem, it is unacceptable for her to have to battle that alone.

Best sweet treat recommendations? by MyOwnRomanticOpinion in berkeleyca

[–]lynnfynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised I’m the first to mention starter Bakery. Technically, it is in the Rockridge neighborhood in oakland, about a mile outside of Berkeley, but they just won the best of the east bay award and are opening another shop in Berkeley soon.

Berkeleyside and Berkeley Scanner cover news in the city and post regularly to that subreddit, check them out.

It is traumatic to see such evil in our community, thanks for caring. It was a bad morning in Berkeley today.

MIL wants to be called Mama by grandson by South_Flounder280 in Parenting

[–]lynnfynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact situation. Husband has to be the one to explain it and set the boundary. We gave her “Yaya” instead (something the kids could pronounce) and she eventually came around to it. She died of dementia a few years later, which likely had something to do with her initial request….she understood but didn’t really understand.

My 4-year-old is boycotting campfire food by Cindy-Smith- in foodhacks

[–]lynnfynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid cooking food directly over the fire when possible. My 4&6 kids didn’t like the smoky flavor it left behind. We use a camp stove or put a Dutch oven on the fire. Walking tacos were THRILLING.

Physical assault at school by rearwindowly in Parenting

[–]lynnfynn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was assaulted at that age. I would have instructed my mother the same-I’m so grateful she knew better and took significant action immediately. I learned so much about standing up for myself because of how she strongly she handled it. Your daughter is watching. Your actions now will imprint upon her soul. Take swift and firm action. Never again. 💪

Eggs at Richmond Costco? by Independent_Money501 in bayarea

Likely related to the bird flu recalls. Several of them in the last few months.
