@elzappozah There’s a lot of great advice here but I just had to add something: I think it’s a bit weird for a preschooler to get in trouble for talking. Pre-k is supposed to be all about socialization , not sitting quietly in a desk learning academics. On the plus side, looks like your kid...

@bencramsie This is the way. It is possible to meet great people through your kids and form a little village but it’s always a bit awkward navigating relationship dynamics as the kids change over the years; their friendships evolve , they drop the mutual activities, families may add kids, etc...

@littledot You are not being selfish! Her opinion rests on the very flawed assumption that a sibling will be a necessity for a happy life for your 6YO, moreso than parents whose mental health and resources aren’t strained. It never fails to shock me how few people realize that our opinions on...

@davida50 Ooof as the parent of a daughter, I feel you. So sweet so often and at times— wham! The attitude is just 🤯 Idk if it’s an official developmental phase but I definitely think all girls go through a time (or times) when the way mom does it is just wrong. We expect it at the teenage...

@tssalacious Prosecco (Kidding) (kind of )

@jason1234 Bless you for that! 🙏 😅
