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'

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
They were arguing for like the millionth time and I just snapped. Yelled. Said some things I didn't mean. They both went quiet and I immediately felt like garbage. Apologized befor
I was spending like 20 minutes every morning packing lunch for my kids and it was driving me nuts. Grabbed a couple of these LunchBot boxes from Target and now it takes me like 5 m
Thinking about getting one for my 7yo - he's got a ton of anxiety at bedtime and takes forever to settle down. There's like 50 options on Amazon and I don't know which ones are wor
Overheard my 10yo telling a kid at school to stop making fun of his friend for being bad at sports. The kid actually stopped. Teacher told me about it at pickup. I didn't even have
