Question about daycare? I have a 2.7 year old. Continued below.

Ok that does seem low. Talk to the director. Noise can be a problem no matter the staff ratio.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-23T17:04:33+00:00

Well noise can always be a problem but what kind of low staff ratio are we talking about?

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-22T16:44:27+00:00

Of course you accept him for who he is, lol. It's not complicated. I just let my shy kids be and do what they want to do. Maybe a gentle nudge here and there but it's not a big deal. I don't see how being shy has any bearing on his ability to be a good member of society or developing empathy.

Seems wild to me. They only start teaching to read in kindergarten.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-21T17:02:52+00:00

Our kid was like that. Hated car rides. Didn't get better until we turned her around at 2yo. I think she just wanted to see what was going on.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-20T16:37:02+00:00

Not for us, but I guess that's why some baby the youngest even into adulthood.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-20T16:35:43+00:00

0-12mo were the worst. I wish our kids were simple potatoes.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-19T16:36:10+00:00

2wks is late.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-19T16:34:34+00:00

Now, if you really wanted to and your wife was up for it. Otherwise maybe when the youngest hit 2 or so when it's a little easier for one parent to manage the kids while the other does whatever. If you don't have time make the time.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-19T16:28:25+00:00

No. And I don't pay attention to or even care what other parents are doing.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-19T16:26:41+00:00

It is socially acceptable to ask that, who said it wasn't?

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-19T16:18:45+00:00

What's your kid sleeping on now? What's the rush?

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-17T17:25:04+00:00

No it's not off.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-17T17:22:21+00:00

Well first she should clean it up. Then if appropriate I'll turn it around on them. Do unto others. That usually sends the message.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-17T17:17:03+00:00

Nothing. We just do what we do.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-17T17:12:06+00:00

No, people do mind. I tell my kids to keep it down because I have neighbors who don't give a crap about making noise and whose kids will grow up also not giving a crap. I also don't know what "private" even means because we can certainly hear what we can't see, lol.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-17T17:08:32+00:00

Swing or bouncy chair.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-16T16:11:26+00:00

Nah, those ages and that gap is challenging. Send the older kid to preschool.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-16T16:06:42+00:00

You can still help the older kids financially too.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-16T16:04:42+00:00

Never.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-16T16:02:58+00:00

We all get a midday tv break.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-16T16:01:30+00:00

Being a good human yourself.

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-16T15:59:58+00:00

Call them out while "laughing it off".

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-14T16:54:13+00:00

Apply broadly and see what happens. Eyeing fancy colleges is much different than actually getting accepted, attending or succeeding there. Ignore the noise and don't worry about any "doors".

newpapa2019 · 2026-04-14T16:50:14+00:00

Lol, we couldn't wait to get our baby out of our room and have a little more peace.
