My 9yo has been playing soccer since she was 6 but never really got into it, just went through the motions. This season something clicked. Today she scored during her U10 game and
So my wife works 6pm-6am shifts as a nurse and I'm basically solo parenting our 3yo and 5yo for most of the week. It's great in a lot of ways but by day 3 I'm absolutely fried. The
That's it. That's the post. I'm still riding this high 4 hours later.
Looking for something to help my 7yo with reading. Thinking about Outschool since he does better with interactive stuff than worksheets. Any reviews? Worth the money or should I lo
My 4 and 6 year old watch it on repeat and honestly I don't even mind. It's actually funny, the parents on the show aren't total idiots, and it teaches stuff without being preachy.
My kids (5 and 8) have been relentless about getting a dog. My wife is on board now but I'm worried about the commitment. We travel maybe 3-4 times a year and both work full time.
She was SO nervous before the tryout. She's 9 and this is her first competitive team. Been playing rec league for a couple years but this was different. Anyway she made it and the
My 4yr old Emma has decided she'll only eat chicken nuggets and fruit. We've tried mixing veggies into sauces, growing them together in the garden, making it fun... nothing works.
Genuinely curious because I feel like I see all these posts about picky eaters and my 7yo will just demolish broccoli and carrots like they're going out of style. Is this a fluke?
We made a simple chart with faces showing different emotions. Before bed we point to how he felt today. Sounds silly but my 3yo has actually SAID "I'm frustrated" instead of just s
I know this is small potatoes for some of you but man I'm pumped. Been working with him for like 6 months on the bunny ears method and today he just... did it. No prompting, no "da
Okay so we've been working on this ALL summer. Like, every other day we'd go out to the parking lot behind the community center in Raleigh and practice. Kid was terrified, kept say
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
