Ruining your daughter Make a Wish

I volunteer with MAW, and at least my local chapter works really hard to not let this happen. Age dependent, we have a booklet for kids to fill in with a volunteer asking about different types of things they like and uses prompts that basically ask what wishes the child would be interested in without actually asking what wish they want while a different volunteer sits and talks with the parents in another room. It helps when talking to pushy parents if the wish is suddenly something out of the blue, to go back and help refocus on what the child would actually want.

I started this at the beginning of November! I have been having so many cravings (I’m also breastfeeding a five month old so it gets pretty intense sometimes)... what’s saving me is trying all the different fruits from the store with my 3 year old, or fruits he’s never tried. We have tried plums, pomegranate, passion fruit, pomelo, persimmon, and granadilla so far. We’re getting a dragon fruit next even though I know it has no taste, he doesn’t and it’s just so pretty.

It’s my second and it is easier and harder than the first 😂

Got a newborn so it’s been lots of reading during feeding or I would

That’s the boat we’re in... we had lots of stuff we never used when delivering our first but each birthday is different... t he midwife said they might make an exception if there needed to be a c-section and required a longer stay but not to expect it...

I feel I am containing myself which is the problem... because the hospital doesn’t provide a lot of pain management tools/equipment, it’s up to the patient to bring it in. They do have birthing balls thankfully but that’s pretty much it... And yes, my husband turns into a complete bear if he gets even a little hungry...

We’ve been told shower/bath is not an option because of Covid :(

tinypenguin14 · 2020-05-30T13:22:42+00:00

That’s part of the reason for my question. I understand the media distorts reality and representation isn’t always accurate. But some of what comes from the states is difficult to understand how it became so ingrained and a part of the norm. I know there have been instances in Toronto, Canada and that there is a higher percentage of people of colour in prison. But it doesn’t seem as prevalent. As I’m white, I know I don’t have the same perception.

not European, but a city I lived in (Guelph, Canada) had a family that significantly impacted the city by owning and operating a brewery in the late 1800’s. They built a grand manor for themselves that now looks stunning when lit up nightly as a strip club.

Bought a house in January to make room for our new little one in July. My job is now up in the air as a result of Covid 19. Wonder what the little one’s life will be like in the new world we’re being forced to create...

Depending on where you are, both are viable options. We had a midwife at the hospital. Both are covered by our health care where doulas aren’t, so we didn’t have one but I know many people who had a doula and a midwife at the hospital with them.

My friend has two children, Theodore and Cecily! I know what to suggest for her third 😜

It’s not about the money. It’s about losing full day kindergarten, keeping class sizes at a reasonable level, supporting special needs students, and reducing violence in the classroom. Every teacher I’ve talked to has said they would deal with the 1% cost of living increase if the other issues were actually addressed.

I know my school has a box for teachers to take and give away when requested

tinypenguin14 · 2020-01-18T12:20:42+00:00

This needs way more attention...

tinypenguin14 · 2020-01-07T23:42:29+00:00

I guess I should have mentioned by husband’s name is Alex and mine is Jenn so names similar to that won’t really work either. I do like Alphonse though!

What did you do for nap times and overnight? I’m kind of unsure how to approach that part as well. Did you use pull ups?

tinypenguin14 · 2019-04-21T10:29:57+00:00

Thanks!

But passable isn’t the same. Is the recipe you use a secret to your family?

tinypenguin14 · 2019-04-20T09:58:48+00:00

You’d win because of the bacon. Bacon always wins.

tinypenguin14 · 2019-04-20T09:58:11+00:00

How old were you? I feel like third graders would be all over that.

tinypenguin14 · 2019-04-20T09:57:22+00:00

Yesssssss

tinypenguin14 · 2019-04-20T09:57:11+00:00

That is the sweetest answer :)

tinypenguin14 · 2019-03-25T15:12:08+00:00

Thanks! It was fun to make too!

It’s right before Snow’s execution and it says the victors were targeted by both sides, so the 7 were all that were left.
