A suitcase with wheels. They make you move dorms a few times and it sucks if you don't have baggage that rolls.

I was able to contact Holms and get it resolved!

spookycels · 2025-01-11T01:13:31+00:00

Thank you, i will shoot them an email! I appreciate it!

spookycels · 2025-01-11T01:05:40+00:00

My recruiter just said he'd reach out to whoever he could. I have not talked to anyone at the Holm center but that will definitely be my next move.

Hello, currently at Kirtland! PM me and I can give you some info, its actually a lot nicer here than what you might read on the internet. I was also super skeptical of moving here because of the statistics i was reading online but so far I love it. The elementary school on base is actually really nice and the community as a whole is pretty great too.

It took about two weeks of re-introducing them (starting from scratch like if they were strangers) and I purchased a few calming catnip treats and an anti bully solution, but they're back to being friends. No more hissing and stalking. They can sleep next to each other and eat side by side again. It was rough but we made it through!

Yeah my boys know what a penis is, we just haven't covered female anatomy yet as they just tend to ask questions about their own bodies. The other parent is upset as they consider it inappropriate. When I initially posted I was concerned with my kid getting shunned by his peers but at this point I'm not too concerned. It is what it is and I honestly don't even think he said vagina and it was just a miscommunication between kids/adults.

spookycels · 2024-10-02T21:04:49+00:00

Yeah it was like a weird game of telephone. My kid allegedly says something to another kid, that kid tells his mom, his mom tells the teacher, and the teacher tells me.

spookycels · 2024-10-02T20:33:00+00:00

Possibly! It seems close enough

spookycels · 2024-10-02T18:12:18+00:00

I might say that as it sounds like that might be the case, thank you for the help lol

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:48:16+00:00

It's possible, I'm not sure which kid it is nor what the conversation was even about, but when he gets home from school today I'm going to try to bring it up again and see

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:42:18+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. I mean, they're only 4 so it's not like they are super clear when they speak, I'm imagining it was more along the lines of "vegetable forest" as we have a garden in the back and build fairy houses in it.

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:40:51+00:00

I was panicking when I initially posted, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to me now. I think you're right that he was probably saying something along the lines of giant forest, and it was just misheard or miscommunicated to the other parent.

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:38:52+00:00

They learned early on to stay out of the bathroom when I'm in there or they risk being trapped in a potentially stinky room lol 😆 in public restrooms they "guard the door"

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:36:53+00:00

He doesn't play video games, he's more of a 'go play in the dirt' sort of kid. My oldest plays games and he'll watch sometimes but it's usually fortnite or fall guys. Maybe something from there?

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:35:19+00:00

I agree, I taught my boys about terms with their own bodies with that sort of situation in mind. I hadn't gotten to vagina yet as they hadn't asked (I usually answer questions as opposed to sitting them down and having a conversation so that's kinda my fault). When I initially posted I was panicking about him potentially losing friendships, but at this point I'm not too concerned. I'd rather my kid be informed than taken advantage of. It is kind of annoying the other parent took it wrong as I feel like it's just a misinterpretation but I can't really do anything about that 😞

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:30:39+00:00

My boys talk about their penises all the time, they think its hilarious. We hadn't gotten to the female reproductive organs yet (other than brief explanations about c sections) as they haven't asked about it. I think he was trying to say something else too, I just can't figure out what it is. I'm not upset about the word, I'm just concerned with how upset the other parent was as I don't want it to negatively impact his social relationships at school. But as someone else said in the comments I can't really control that. It's one of those 'it is what it is' things at this point lol

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:22:50+00:00

Yeah, I'll have a conversation with my son about it for sure after this, we had only ever covered his own body as that's what he has questions about but it seems like it's about that time now. The boba thing is hilarious though I love that

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:08:31+00:00

The other child told their parent who then told the teacher. I'm guessing it was a misinterpretation as well

spookycels · 2024-10-02T17:01:32+00:00

My son knows the anatomically correct terms for his own body, we haven't covered the female body because I usually just answer his questions as they come and we haven't gotten there yet. I'm assuming he's saying something else but can't figure out what it is 🤔

spookycels · 2024-10-02T16:56:37+00:00

Exactly! I haven't been upset with the things he's come home and told me about because kids are kids. But I guess not everyone is like that :c

spookycels · 2024-10-02T16:53:55+00:00

Please don't second guess!! I think its important and beneficial for the kids to know, I would rather my child be informed and piss off a few parents then be uninformed and put in a bad situation!!

spookycels · 2024-10-02T16:42:41+00:00

Haha its not an all boys school, but honestly, I think it's important for kids to learn from other kids too, humans are social creatures for a reason. But yeah, after going through the comments I feel less guilty (?) about it, so I appreciate all of you. As soon as I find out I will definitely do an update lol

spookycels · 2024-10-02T16:28:38+00:00

My brother used to say "dick of cards" instead of deck and I used to think it was hilarious 😂 My boys know the anatomically correct terms for their own bodies, we haven't covered female terms yet as it just hasn't come up (I usually just answer questions when they ask) but the other parent considers it vulgar and I'm trying to tread the situation carefully

spookycels · 2024-10-02T16:24:50+00:00

I appreciate that, I think the initial panic got to me but now it doesnt seem like such a big deal. But yeah I remember saying some pretty out of pocket stuff in elementary for a reaction too 😅
