@jellofishxo My August kid is starting kindergarten this fall about a week after his fifth birthday. His teacher, OT, and SLP all agree not only that he’s ready but that would be bored and likely disruptive in JrK class. He’s always done well watching and learning from the other kids so I think...

@kaferty Thinking on it I think the main reason I wouldn’t is because even if you gave me the raw statistic of there’s about 12% chance that my kid’s MMR failed I wouldn’t have their titers tested just based on that (unless their doctor recommended) regardless of the reason for that statistic...

@kaferty That's fair. Just giving my thoughts and I personally wouldn't do it. But I also have no plans to get my kids vaccines tested in general. I was a c section baby who had a failed MMR (found out during 1st pregnancy) and mines are both being c section babies. That may change if my area...

@kaferty This is a fairly small study (1505) and if I’m reading it correctly it seems like many kids are covered once they get the second WHO recommended dose, which at least here in the US is around 4-5. For us testing titers wouldn’t be covered and I personally wouldn’t pay out of pocket for...

@searchingforchrist I had to miss my own kindergarten graduation getting tubes in my ears. I remember being completely confused what the point of preschool graduation the year before and even more confused why kindergarten had one since we were going to be in the same building for 4 more years...

@katrina2017 My state requires kids to be offered a nap til age 5 if they’re there a full day so here they’d have to.

@brewster1118 I work from home so I worked on my computer while wearing a lot when they were little. Other than that I didn’t really do a ton “productive” done until I started to wear them on my back (but they weren’t napping as much in the carrier by that point).

@katrina2017 It only applies for full day programs so something where kids go home at lunch wouldn’t necessarily have it.

@999forever I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I don't know if this is helpful and apologies if not but this reminders me of this article i saw a while back https://wapo.st/3YQqhCv

@cathyhlikesflowers Personally I'd go for the c section but I had great experiences with both of my planned c sections and am eternally grateful that I was able to birth that way (due to preexisting risk factors) considering how many people I know who requested a scheduled c section due to...

@johnsubira I usually give his main teachers $20-40 gift cards and usually the floaters and director/assistant I just give a card and some candy. To me this is a Christmas/Holiday present, not a tip. It's a big corporate center, not an individual person so I don't feel it is my responsibility to...

@golfwriter AB, could be + or -. My husband is O+ and I'm AB-, our kids are B+ and A-.

@ido100 Yeah my company isn't subject to FMLA and I found out I was pregnant the week I started so short term disability was pretty useless since it was a preexisting condition. I had a c section but luckily had an easy recovery because I was never going to take 8 weeks. At my 6 week follow up...

@nancyeab Also just a heads up I think technically you have to have been with the company for a year for FMLA to apply so if you find a new job you'd still be a the discretion of the new employer. It is possible your company will offer more depending on your situation. My company is not FMLA...

@motel6oceanside It's wild that they make a point to put it the dog tags and even just in this thread so many people who someone who's was wrong so what the point?

@jellofishxo Probably Universal Pre K (public preK available for 4 year olds in some US states)

@funmilayo Yeah, my dad was in the Army so he had it tested and wore it around his neck for years and when they had my brother they still wouldn't take his word for it because people are very frequently wrong about what they are.

@authorandystraka Definitely not too late. Some would argue a sling is best for a year from now when they’re early walking and want to be up and down or you want something to keep in your bag or the car for when they suddenly want you to carry them.

@jellofishxo If you attribute that to starting kindergarten at 6 then the answer seems obvious and the opinions of internet strangers is moot.

@tgia413 It's not allowed where I live but we wouldn't do it even if it was. My son will start kindergarten in the fall about a week after his 5th (August) birthday. Honestly from your description I'd guess they're suggesting that based on their current availability and ratios and/or hoping to...
