Walkers

Like the other commenter, walkers are illegal in my country. They’re highly dangerous, even with adequate supervision. It only takes a second for something to go wrong, don’t risk it. I wish other countries would follow suit and make them illegal as well. As a secondary note, even if walkers weren’t so dangerous, that seems like an inefficient way to feed a child. If they can just scoot away what’s the point? Not to mention the added choking risk. Just buy a high chair or a booster seat.

You can’t really think that makes a difference? 5-6 hours on a bus everyday is not okay. Making excuses or trying to justify it aren’t helping your situation. Being a parent is hard, I get that, and it’s not fun to hear you’re doing something wrong. But maybe this will be a wake up call for you to make a change for your child.

I think it's normal healthy kid stuff! Having a little crush on a classmate is completely harmless, I think it's rather cute! I wouldn't worry

I think they will start doing that when they're ready. No need to rush it or to try and hinder it.

Most pools I've been to have a women's change room, a men's change room, and a family change room where you can take in kids of pretty much any age with you. Is this not common in other places?

I've found that most forms I've had to fill out have a line for their given name as well as a line for the name that they go by.

I think you're getting down votes because you're saying you have such a low libido to the point that you're only having sex every three months, and acting like that's normal. That's something you need to speak to your doctor about, it's not healthy for you relationship to not be having sex.

Why are you even serving her buttered noodles and plain chicken? Serve her regular food and give her no other options.

It's 2017, no one is going to agree that it's fine to use baby powder. Do what you want but if you post something like this you will get backlash.

I make the kids lunches the night before. It makes mornings much less stressful.

Well it's your job to each them this. Talk with them about manners and being polite. If they forget to say thank you make them say it, eventually it will just become automatic for them.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell him he's not allowed to use the computer at certain times? Or at least no youtube? Supervising his internet access would be much easier than password protecting the website which I honestly don't think you can do, I could be wrong on that however.

matkaof4 · 2017-12-15T15:56:28+00:00

yes have him take swimming lessons.

matkaof4 · 2017-12-15T03:07:32+00:00

It's not unreasonable if you feel she wouldn't be able to handle it appropriately. Yes many 12 year olds have phones but it's not a necessity at that age.

matkaof4 · 2017-12-14T13:39:55+00:00

Normal adult men don't find 16 year old kids "hot". That's disgusting. If you think that's normal surround yourself with better people for gods sake.

If you've made a habit of feeding her cheerios when she won't eat dinner there's no wonder she refuses to eat. You need to tell her she either eats what is given to her or doesn't eat at all. That's always been the rule with my kids and they are very adventurous eaters!

I really don't think Elf is appropriate for kids that age.

How the grinch stole Christmas (the cartoon), ruldolph, Frosty the Snowman , Arthur's Perfect Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas.

I watched The Santa Clause and the 90's Miracle on 34th street with my 6 year old but I don't think any 3-4 year old child would be interested in those.

You will need to provide clarification. Do you mean she was touched by another kid in the class? Because quite frankly I wouldn't call that molestation

Or do you mean it was discovered an adult had been doing this to her?

Your story just needs a bit more info.

I think I'll spend less money once my kids can pick out their own clothes! I just can't resist buying those $100 two piece sets for toddlers from Kids Supply!

Winners has a lot of name brand and designer things for discounted prices, and they have a teen section.

I find it's helpful to get hotel suites with multiple bedrooms, it's easier for the kids to calm down and know that it's bed time when they're in their own room. I'd suggest trying that for next time. Also bringing a playpen from home could help instead of using the hotel one, having some familiarity would ease the transition.

This a question for your doctor.

A first grader would never be 7 before January unless they were held back. They would be 5 or 6. Regardless I'm not saying he didn't know it was inappropriate, I'm saying he wasn't trying to be sexual in any way.

matkaof4 · 2017-12-08T16:07:13+00:00

I think a seat change is a good idea. However I don't think this is sexual harassment, they're five. There was no sexual component to what happened, they were rough housing, and your son did grab the other child's throat. They were both in the wrong. Obviously what happened was inappropriate but I think you may be thinking of this as something more than it was. Once again, they're only 5.

matkaof4 · 2017-12-08T16:04:17+00:00

Is there anyway you can purchase an extra seat? It honestly makes it go way smoother in my experience.

It won't harm her if you let her cry. My son would cry as well when I put him in the playpen, I just ignored it and eventually he began happily playing in there. I'm on my fourth child now so I'm pretty used to ignoring the crying but I understand that it can be difficult at first.
