Honest question. Today I found my 4yo in the backyard at 8am in full Spider-Man costume (in 75 degree weather) trying to "web" the fence with our garden hose. He was soaked. There
I don't even know what to do with this. They had a fight over something dumb (aren't they always?) and he went to his room. 20 minutes later he comes down with this letter. Said he
Been working on this since last year. This morning he just... did it. Both shoes. Didn't ask me once. I literally teared up a little bit. He's been refusing to wear velcro shoes sp
Asking for myself. We do the whole routine - bath, story, quiet time, no screens after 7. Kid is STILL awake at 9:30 singing to himself. Not upset, just... vibing. I'm the one fall
I didn't even ask for it. Just woke up Saturday morning and she was like "we're taking them to her mom's for the day, you're staying home." I honestly didn't know what to do with m
He's been training for like weeks. Blue Shells, drift boosts, the whole thing. Finally got first place in Rainbow Road and now he's made himself a little trophy out of paper and ta
Not even because the coach said to. She ASKED. We did drills in the driveway for 30 mins and she was so focused. Totally different energy than when I suggest stuff. Now she's askin
My 6yo is absolutely fascinated by garbage trucks. Not in a passing interest way - he wants to learn EVERYTHING about them. We've watched like 30 YouTube videos, checked out books
Did it. Ages 4, 6, and 9. By myself. For 5 hours. And nobody got lost, nobody melted down (okay one small thing with the 4yo and cotton candy but we recovered), and we all had a gr
If you have a kid aged 6-10 who likes tech stuff, get this thing. Costs like $80 on sale sometimes. My son got it for his birthday and he's been playing with it for 3 weeks straigh
Our kids have rejected literally every chicken nugget brand we've bought EXCEPT Tyson Air Fried from Costco. Not even joking, we've tried Perdue, store brand, the fancy organic one
Like every single day. "Why do we have to die?" "What happens when we dream?" "If I think about thinking am I thinking?" It's actually amazing but also I'm running out of answers t
Nothing fancy - just pancakes the kids made (with her supervision obviously), some bacon, coffee. But the effort? The kids made little cards. My youngest drew a picture of me that'
Took way longer than I expected but my 9 and 11 year old helped with pretty much every step. Got them doing actual work—measuring, nailing, problem solving when something didn't fi
Genuinely asking because I have two approaches happening right now. My 6yo's room is a disaster but he plays in there and seems happy. My 11yo's room is also a disaster but he can'
Saturday morning I was lowkey nervous about it. By Saturday night we'd done pancakes, played like 47 rounds of Uno, went to the park, and they actually went to bed on time. We didn
We can't seem to do anything without a breakdown. Breakfast order was wrong? Tears. Can't find the green crayon? Full meltdown. School said something kinda critical about his behav
Seriously asking for survival tips. My daughter will literally go barefoot in the snow instead of wearing socks. We've tried fun socks, different brands, just giving up... nothing
I know it's probably because I said he could have his friends over on Saturday but I'm gonna take this W. My 15yo actually wants me around when his friends are here. He didn't kick
My 5yo is in kindergarten now and the teacher said he still needs reminders about bathroom stuff. We've been working on independence at home but idk if this is normal or if I shoul
