My 4yo daughter refuses to get her haircut without absolute screaming. We've tried the "be brave" talk, we've tried picking out a fun shirt to wear, nothing works. I know other par
Been working with him on this for like 6 months. Every morning it's been "Dad can you do my laces?" and I kept saying "you're almost there buddy." This morning he just... did it. B
Honestly didn't think I was doing anything special. Just sat with my 9yo for 20 mins while she did math, didn't tell her answers but asked questions. But apparently the teacher tol
Seriously just paid $60 for a year and I've already saved that back in bulk buys. Diapers, snacks, pasta, milk - everything is cheaper. My wife was skeptical but she's now a full b
Why is pickup at our elementary school designed like we're boarding an airplane? 20 cars trying to fit in a space for 8. Got honked at yesterday for... literally just existing in t
Got this for my 5yo for his birthday and it's genuinely the best $80 I've spent. Durable, educational games actually keep him engaged, and the parental controls are legit. Most kid
Been working on this for like 6 months. He'd get frustrated and just ask me to do it. Today he just... did it. Took him 3 minutes and the loops were kinda wonky but I didn't say an
Why do they ALL need batteries and make noises? My 3yo got this toy from my in-laws and it's SO LOUD. It plays 50 different songs. Who asked for this? I just want blocks and buildi
So my oldest just started middle school and apparently had a falling out with his best friend from elementary over something stupid (choosing different lunch table groups?? still n
Everyone in our area does like 3-4 activities per kid and I think it's insane. We do one activity per kid per season and honestly our family is so much less stressed. Kids actually
I swear my 7yo just wore these pants last week and now they're capris. I feel like I'm constantly buying new stuff. And don't even get me started on shoes - how are we spending $80
I was skeptical about screen time but honestly this show is a game-changer. My 4yo watches like 20 mins a day and now he actually wants to play imaginative games with me afterwards
My 8yr old has decided to make a "nature journal" of our backyard. He's filled like 30 pages in two weeks with drawings of bugs and notes about where he found them. It's chaotic an
Remember when I posted about the night lights and bedtime routine changes? Well I've got good news. We got one of those constellation projectors (the Ankee one, like $20), made a "
Thinking about getting it for my 18mo but don't want to drop $30/month on something that ends up being junk. Is it actually worth it or is it just expensive toy boxes? Would love r
She was skeptical ngl. But I promised I had it handled and I ACTUALLY had it handled. Made a decent dinner, got them bathed, story time, in bed by 9. No emergencies. She got back a
My daughter (12) wants to go to a concert but her mom (my ex) won't let her go. I think she should be allowed to go - it's age appropriate, safe venue, I'd take her. But I also don
Our second kid is 3 months old and my wife is paranoid about SIDS (understandable). She's been looking at the Owlet for weeks. I think it's overpriced but if it helps her sleep bet
So we had a good run with our 3yo - was doing great for like 2 months, then bam, accidents everywhere again. New sibling arrived 3 weeks ago so timing makes sense but I don't want
