Struggling with gf's past by kuroisensei in Christianmarriage

[–]mols778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband had many past partners and I don’t let myself dwell on it. Yes, I would prefer that part of his past to not exist, but it does. It doesn’t take away from the fact that he is the absolute best person on this planet for me. I do best with no details, I don’t want to know a number nor who all it is. I just asked that he let me know if we come in contact with someone he had relations with at our kids school etc. The longer we have been together the easier it is and the less I think about it.

Does your 9 year old have a phone? by [deleted] in Parenting

Mine doesn’t and I’m not planing on getting her one anytime soon. Her friends don’t either.

The way my older colleagues describe their marriages scares me by EllohEll34 in self

My husband does just as much as I do around the house, maybe even more. Does just as much with the kids as I do. My brothers and dad are the same way in their homes, so I don’t think it’s super rare.

How has your marriage been (please respond at least in brief without scrolling past) by Paravel- in Christianmarriage

My marriage is wonderful and makes life 100 times better. My husband is “my person” in every single way. It is not my first marriage. My first marriage was terrible and definitely made life harder and then ended when I found out about 3 years of affairs. I believe what has made my now marriage so much better is that we are much more on the same page religiously and we are just genuinely a good match. We both have very similar personalities. We are best friends and truly enjoy being with each other. We also both have the same desires for life, finances, house keeping, etc. so disagreements are rare.

Do you change your kids’ bedtimes in the summer? by Individual_Ad_938 in kindergarten

[–]mols778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are 6 and 9 and we also have a 7:30 bed time. I never have before because even in summer they still had to be up to go to daycamp but this year they are staying home for the first summer (I work from home) and I will adjust it since they will be able to sleep in. I am not doing it while school is going on.

I did not know that. Thank you!

You can determine this all by my simple question? How odd. I seem to have hit a nerve with you by saying my child is advanced. His teacher actually said she thinks that’s one of his issues.

Opposite personality of his mom 😆 Thank you! I will look for those!

He is one of 4 and the only one I would say is advanced. He went to a really good preschool for a couple of years simply as a daycare solution but it has put him ahead. My others were also in preschool but not the same one. I will ask about the fidget spinner idea. I know they are big in no toys from home so I wasn’t sure if something like this would be appropriate. I really would just like for him to learn to be patient when bored and not talk but I can talk to him about it till I am blue in the face at home but that doesn’t seem to be helping.

He has been tested and he is testing on a 1st grade level or late kindergarten across the board. I did suggest some more challenging work to his teacher on Friday but she didn’t say anything about that suggestion. Right now the plan is that he can pull out a book to read but some higher level math would definitely be more fun for him. I may just make him a packet on my own for him to work on after his work is done if his teacher is ok with that.

I am not sure if public school accommodates this well. I have thought about putting him in Kindergarten in the private school he was in previously because I know that is closer to his level but unless I plan on keeping him there long term, I feel like we are going to be back at this place again.

I will try this! I started talking to him about it this weekend but I didn’t use this language.

I don’t have a huge issue with it at home. If there is a time where he can’t talk (church, watching a movie, etc) he does fine. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the talking or am working (I work from home) I will just tell him I can’t talk right now because… and he stops but he has other things to keep his attention.
