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
Just spent $180 on a new soccer bag and shin guards for my 10yo. It's insane. He'll probably outgrow everything in 6 months anyway. And don't even get me started on the club sports
My 6yo couldn't tell time and was CONSTANTLY asking what time it is. So I grabbed one of those cheap Casio digital watches from Target. Kid wears it everywhere now and has actually
My 4yo's favorite shirt got a hole in the armpit after like 3 washes. THREE. It was a $28 shirt. I've seen my jeans last 5+ years and my kids' stuff falls apart in weeks. Is this j
My daughter couldn't decide what to wear for 4th grade and kept changing her mind. Instead of losing my mind like usual dad me would, I just let her lay out all the options on her
Been using these for like 6 months now. Chicken shawarma and Korean beef bowls specifically. Throw em in the microwave, done in 3 minutes, kids actually eat them without complainin
Wild question but I'm obsessed with data. Noticed that when I get bad sleep, my 8yo is somehow worse behaved the next day. Like it's contagious or something. Wondering if other dad
Been working on this for like 6 months. Today he just... did it. No prompting, no sitting down next to him. Just walked over and tied them both before we left for school. I may hav
Like seriously this kid went from maybe 50 words three months ago to just... talking in full sentences now. He's narrating everything he does. "Daddy I'm eating my apple." "Now I'm
I swear there's like a whole social hierarchy in the carpool line now. Some parents legit get upset if you're not in the "right" spot or don't know which kid belongs to which famil
