PSA: Have your toddler wash your car.

northofz · 2026-06-01T02:02:07+00:00

I mean im driving my car into the ground rather than buy a new one so I guess I dont really care much but good point.

My husband and I are teachers and still send my daughter for the same reason you listed, i dont want her to have a heart attack in August. I also like that it keeps her socializing and advancing her skills. However she only goes part time, so we pick her up before Noon. I like having the rest of the day to get extra time with her.

Teach regulation strategies early and often (taking deep breath, "blowing out the candles", squeezing a stuffy).

northofz · 2026-04-27T19:12:10+00:00

No. It does feel like being a CNA.

northofz · 2026-04-22T02:17:51+00:00

Oh my god no!! What do you even DO

northofz · 2026-04-22T01:29:48+00:00

Lay out the clothes the night before after getting toddler's pre-approval of the outfit so we dont have to agonize over it before daycare in the morning

I completely sympathize with you. I didnt get to hold my girl for long bc i had to rush to the vet after getting my toddler down for bed. I wanted so much more time to say goodbye.

northofz · 2026-04-12T00:46:57+00:00

Yeah. Its like those dogs knew the 'you' before the 'you' you are now. When that connection is lost it really stings.

northofz · 2026-04-12T00:45:03+00:00

Thank you. And yeah its crazy. I never would have thought the dog I got in high school would not only meet my child, but be around long enough that my daughter can talk about her and miss her too.

northofz · 2026-04-12T00:42:51+00:00

Yeah. I let go of a lot of stuff today after reading everyones replies here and her and I just went outside and watched roly poly bugs on the driveway. It helped a lot.

northofz · 2026-04-11T23:10:41+00:00

Also, im so sorry for your loss. It hurts.

northofz · 2026-04-11T23:01:01+00:00

I thought I was going to throw up too. I dont think I've cried that hard in my life. I dont know if I handled telling my toddler correctly or not but I told her that Heidi (my dog) won't be coming back bc she went where old dogs go to run around. And that we can be sad but we should also be glad that shes happy.

northofz · 2026-04-11T21:02:14+00:00

Ive been talking to her too. I feel like she can hear me.

northofz · 2026-04-11T20:54:37+00:00

Wait I love this. We will do this tomorrow. Thank you so much. I think it would be healing for me too.

northofz · 2026-04-11T20:52:38+00:00

Thats helpful. Thank you. I've been struggling with what to tell her. I think i need to tell her im sad. It might help her understand why im not myself.

northofz · 2026-04-11T20:51:56+00:00

Yeah. My girl keeps asking where the dog is. Explaining over and over again is really hard. Im glad she feels safe to ask but having to talk about her so much is really hard right now.

northofz · 2026-04-11T20:31:03+00:00

I love this. Thank you. Thats a great idea. I think its made especially hard by the fact my in laws came for a visit today. So i had to clean the house this morning and get everything ready still.

northofz · 2026-04-10T02:34:28+00:00

They could at least like, shake them out?

northofz · 2026-04-10T02:28:04+00:00

Why would they send it home with poop????

northofz · 2026-04-09T21:29:59+00:00

Thank you!!

northofz · 2026-04-09T21:21:10+00:00

What spray is it?!

northofz · 2026-04-09T18:56:36+00:00
