    Christmas morn w/ an only?

    @rosemeka13 I've always actually enjoyed the lead-up and excitement before a special day more than the actual day. Sometimes it's a downer once you actually get there. And there is a lot of pressure to love all the gifts in front of the grandparents and such. My kid loves Xmas, and I'm a bit...

    Do you think i would deserve Christmas presents if you had 3 F’s in school?

    @kolson0319 Would it help if you talk to your teacher about what you can do to improve? Can you make up for some of the work you missed or retake a course? Where I live, there are also summer school options. There is also the opportunity to meet with school administrators or guidance with your...

    I’m a new dad as of 2.5 weeks ago and can’t say I’m all that excited. Is something wrong with me??

    My 7 year old never plays alone.

    @pecosheero So sorry you are dealing with this. Short of moving to a place where there are activities and programs, what if you hired a teen or university student to spend time with your child? They could do walks outdoors, learn to code, do yard work, etc. Can you go to the local playground...

    I'm 16 and my dad makes have dinner at 7 PM and go to sleep by 8 PM. Is that normal?

    @keepy Do you mean that your dad tells you to go to your room at 8 PM? Are you allowed to have some time to do what you want before bed? All this being said, 5:30 am is pretty early to wake up and most people don't get enough sleep so if you are sleeping by 9 PM or so, that would be a healthy...

    I’m a new dad as of 2.5 weeks ago and can’t say I’m all that excited. Is something wrong with me??

    @imafighter Yes! I still wear earplugs sometimes when my toddler is yelling and jumping everywhere and whining. They are wired to make irritating noises. My biggest advice in parenting is to try to be empathetic to the kiddo and what they are capable of, and do what you can to work...
