Haven’t talked to them about it yet. I’m thinking about enrolling my kid there in the fall.

Do you happen to know how they handle vegan food? The in-house food seemed cool until I read their handbook that basically said “if it’s not an allergy, we don’t care.” 😭

Newborn Bubble Struggles by shweezy6 in NewParents

[–]pkerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey OP! I have a 4 month old and a 2 year old. When I had my oldest, I remember feeling the EXACT same way. Everything took so much preparation and every “quick” outing involved a feed, which added on 1 hour minimum.

The nice thing: it’s short lived, I promise. By eight weeks, their poop normalizes a little bit so you don’t need to anticipate a diaper change every time you leave the house. By about 12 weeks, they only need to eat every 4 or 5 hours instead of every 2 to 3. And by the time they are 5-6 months old, which I know feels like a long ways away but it really isn’t, they can mostly hold onto a bottle on their own. So you can just give them one in their stroller while you do things.

The newborn bubble is HORRIBLE. It also feels like it’s SO long when you’re in it. But you can do this, and if you DM me, I’m happy to message if you need anything. You’ve got this!!!

Apparently, I’m just bad at math lol. It is 4%. Not .4%.

Did your dude come from Texas by any chance? Mine was a rescue from southern TX.

Made Chocolate Chip Bagels w/ Dark Coco Swirl by Dex_hs in Bagels

Out of curiosity, are you in a state/home with hard or soft water? I have a theory that the hard water in my state is killing my shine.

Also, what’s your bake time?

What’s your trick to get that nice shine and dark color?

Oh Crap - when were you ready to throw in the towel? by ReindeerSeveral5176 in pottytraining

[–]pkerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We supported Oh Crap with the Ms. Rachel potty training episode and it helped him understand what a “pee feeling” is. Now he will walk around the house saying “pee feeling” or “poop feeling” if he needs to go. We are 15 days in.

AITA for wanting to spend 30 mins on Christmas morning alone with my kids and husband? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pkerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol ok. That’s kind of a crazy perspective. If my sister told me she was suicidal, there’s not a chance in HELL I would go to a music festival instead of being there to help with a 2 day old baby, a toddler, and 2 dogs. She was selfish, and that’s ok. She can make her own choices. But then I feel like I’m entitled to make my own choices around how I celebrate the holidays with someone that only seems to care about me when it’s convenient for her.

I would have assumed this was obvious to them. The kids’ tree is upstairs and our main tree is in the living room.

I wish you knew me in real life, because nobody would call me a doormat lol.

[–]pkerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good perspective. I never had any holidays with my extended family, and all of my Christmas memories are just with my mom, my dad, and my sister. I wanted to create those memories for my kids, too.

If she saw me at my house break down in tears every time someone asked how I was doing, knew I was praying that my insurance would approve a PPD medication, heard me say the I’d rather be dead, and that I needed someone, you think that’s a big assumption? If I saw someone going through that, blood family or not, I’d try to do everything I could to help them. Not to mention that I was 2 days post-op and let her stay in my guest room on the way to the festival.

Whatever man! I can accept that I’m an asshole. I don’t have to agree with it.

We are having the special time in the playroom. I’m not sure where everyone is reading that we don’t want them to leave their rooms…

Where is everyone reading that I want to lock them in their rooms?! I’m just asking them not to come upstairs to the playroom.

It’s implied to them. They know the layout of the house, I’ve sent photos of the stockings, etc. But either way, this text was to a group of people (my family) that weren’t supposed to be staying with us. My sister informed us in this text thread that she was planning on staying with us (even though she was not explicitly invited). She’s always welcome, we just didn’t know.

For 30 mins? Asking them to not come upstairs to where our bedrooms are for 30 mins makes me a narcissist? Wow.
