@fab01 Yeah I slowly got rid of anything soft that couldn’t go in the washer.

@fab01 I use it on everything but I do tend to put soft toys in the washer instead. It won’t bleach your clothes at that concentration but it will fade the colours. It will also rust metal over time. Edit: fade colours

@fab01 10 ml of bleach in 500 ml of water. Spray and forget. Bleach breaks down quickly in water so it’s completely safe for kids. Bleach also kills everything completely in one minute at that concentration. You do have to make up a new bottle every day

@lmd0137 Our health unit requires 24 hours fever and med free before they can return to daycare/school. So I think you’re safe to send her if nothing changes.

@crossbearer007 Yes a pack n play (we call them playpens) is safe for sleep with a fitted sheet, as long as nothing else is added. You cannot use the sun cover things some of them come with for sleep though.

@ashe17 Mom guilt is the absolute worst. I think overall you’re a great mom. And your son probably knows it. Bad moms are never on Reddit asking for parenting help from strangers.

@sheryll Please give your kid his phone back and tell him how loved and valued he is NO MATTER WHAT before he isn’t around for you to tell him. He’s screaming for help. Please listen.

@ashe17 You’ve had some really good advice here so I won’t pile it on except to say this: The second you lose your temper with your teenager they have stopped listening to you. The instant it happens your teen thinks AH OP is yelling at me. That’s abuse. I don’t have to listen to this. And they...

@guevaraj How though? Daycare centres are already hemorrhaging staff, not just in Canada but also in the US. Centres can’t afford to pay untrained staff a decent wage - why would people educated in child development want to work for only slightly better than minimum wage? And that’s already at...

@godincenter It’s the milk and milk substitutes that inhibit the child from eating solids that’s an issue. But calcium does inhibit iron absorption while vitamin C promotes it. If your paediatrician is recommending an iron supplement your child should be taking it with a food that’s high in...

@hulahooper Is it really useful information though? I don’t know about in the US but in Canada, a 1:3 ratio would mean a nanny or a nanny share. Very few people can afford that. So really you’re just making people feel worse about their daycare decisions.

@religiondoctor A visual schedule is a wonderful idea! I’m a little surprised they don’t already use that with all the kids. It’s such a great way to help kids feel secure in what’s going on. I do think moving her to 3 consecutive days is a great idea.

@religiondoctor I run a home daycare and I can tell you in my experience 3 days in a row is generally better than a split schedule. When they say she cries a lot - is this because her favourite teacher is not available or are there specific instances that make her upset? Usually kids have...

@frank12 It will go centre by centre. So the school can apply for CWELCC but the province can deny the application base on the need in that community.

@tincup Here we have licensing agencies for dayhomes. So you’re either with an agency or you’re unlicensed. And in most cases the agency takes 30% of the dayhome’s income. Doug Ford specifically set up CWELCC so that the for-profit centres and agencies had equal billing. Here I feel like it’s...

@melissa517 Well the grandfather died in March. Dad finally let C know in May. So wait until two months after her graduation ceremony then text him letting him know when and where the ceremony was. Then block him and move on with your life. He’s not entitled to anything from you or C.

@tincup I think it varies from province to province. I’m in Ontario so centres and home daycare licensing agencies were given the choice to sign up for CWELCC. I know that the centres that did not sign up are having a much harder time filling their spaces, and then keeping them filled. A centre...

@mbraun That’s one devoted boy lol

@frank12 What province is this?

@mbraun Alberta?
