    Should I let my kids walk home by themselves ?

    @mrscott1026 I was walking myself to/from school at the age of 6 with my 7 year old cousin, it was 0.5mi away So I think it’s fine, personally

    BF v FF shame and “attachment theory”

    @pastorchrisparker I was formula fed from birth, my mom said it was popular in the 80s and her Dr recommended it so she didn’t question it. So I’m lucky that she didn’t give me any flack about my choice. That would’ve definitely made it dm row complicated if she had. I strongly suggest you...

    Family making inappropriate comments about my baby

    @obedientsacrifice You’re not overreacting, it’s your choice to raise your baby as you see fit But tbh, people like that won’t change, they’ll just get mad at you for asking If you don’t want them to act like that then you’re going to have to leave every time they make a comment or stop...

    Yes, it's possible to have a baby that has a late bedtime and wakes up late

    @kitsoni Is anyone here from Spain or another country that has a later schedule? I don’t have any evidence, but I feel like they probably abide by cultural norms in places that tend to stay up later too.

    Would you send your kid to daycare tomorrow?

    Fake fevers?

    @mamabdog I think they’re supposed to wait an hour after nap to test temp so it isn’t abnormally high

    Our 16 day old son is an extremely hungry boy. He just drank about 130-130mL of Enfamil Gentlease

    @mirchev My daughter is like this, she’s been eating nearly 40 oz (1180 mL) per day since she was a couple months old. She’s very tall and growing like a weed. She’s larger than most babies twice her age. I wouldn’t worry about it, they’re really just guidelines. They lean out when they’re...

    My 5yo won’t stay in his bed and I’m losing my mind

    @liz555 Yeah it seems pretty age appropriate from what I’ve read in other subs and stuff Sometimes I’ve told my son that he can come sleep w me in my bed but he has to lay very straight and still so as to not kick me while he’s sleeping 😆 otherwise he has to sleep in his bed So he’s learned...

    My 5yo won’t stay in his bed and I’m losing my mind

    @liz555 My son is 4.5, was never a great sleeper and now comes to my room like every single night to tell me he went potty and asking if he needs to flush the toilet 😆 I just say no, pull him into bed, and he falls back asleep Will he sleep in your bed with you? Or is he expecting you to stay...

    I caught my 13 year old boy calling a little girl a “b***h”

    @georgiana When I was like 11-13 I started cussing a lot and became more interested in counter cultures (thank you 90s Mtv) and overall just trying to be a bad ass My dad always did a good job of talking things through from a neutral position as if I were an adult. So I think for me, if it...

    Has anyone been a SAHM during the day while husband is at work and then gone to work in the evenings? How did it work out for you?

    @lesbian5eva That’s going to leave your husband high and dry during bedtime routine. Which is doable, but I dunno… I feel like it might introduce problems being occupied every night during those hours. I would consider maybe a babysitter for 3 hours a day at your preferred working time, a time...

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @margrethe I think it’ll be scary, but when it’s all said and done you’ll be much happier without the dead weight

    Is it time for a divorce?

    @margrethe Keep your job Talk to a divorce lawyer Your line of thinking doesn’t sound like you want to salvage the relationship because you love him or he loves you and is trying or anything. It sounds like you want to get divorced ultimately but have a lot of fears around it.

    7 year old using the N word

    @leelou Yeah I’m not sure though, it’s not like the museum is purely structured for shock. It’s definitely an educational setting. And I remember when I was growing up learning about the holocaust around 3rd grade. So I was thinking it might be pretty close to developmental readiness.

    7 year old using the N word

    @cassie928 Yeah thats a really good point Especially today when everyone has access to everything. It’s going to be damn near impossible to really shelter my son after a certain point

    7 year old using the N word

    @cassie928 Yeah I was kind of thinking that being immersed in the images and everything from the most egregious time periods might help show the significance But, my son is only 2, so I don’t know exactly how much they can emotionally withstand at 7

    @puddintain That’s an excellent point

    7 year old using the N word

    @sarahdosher I wonder if it’s too traumatizing to take a 7 year old somewhere like the Museum of Tolerance?

    My 4 y/o told me her teacher took her to her house

    @samsterzz On the one hand this is scary and I’d be very concerned But like, is this feasible? My son is 4 and just told me he went to Mexico (didn’t even know he knew this was a country). So without more context it’s hard to say. If you think it’s a real possibility, then absolutely take...
