    Active Shooter Drills - Pre-K and K

    @phananh I remember doing tornado drills growing up. And maybe in parts of the US where there are tsunamis (PNW?) they would do these too.

    Is this a bad reason?

    @dvz I feel this and I truly think people don’t understand how incredibly difficult this is as an only unless they’ve been through it. My husband is an only with divorced parents. His dad went from healthy to now being in a nursing home in 10 years (fuck MS) and it was insane the amount of...

    He’s asleep before 7…

    @jesusatemydog this! it doesn't matter what time my son goes to sleep, he's up at 6. The only exception is if he's sick- if he sleeps past 7 it's a 100% sure sign he's sick. I NEED him to go to bed early, and while sure early mornings can be rough and I rarely get to workout in the morning...

    He’s asleep before 7…

    @caoc24843 Same. We start bedtime at 6:40 and he’s asleep by 7:20. Amazing and I need a few hours alone at night. BUT! He wakes up at 6 AM and often earlier AND he doesn’t nap. You can’t win them all!

    OAD decision timeline

    @renette I delivered my son a few weeks shy of 35 and pregnancy was totally fine on my body, but after - no one tells you the physical tole of being a mom. I don’t think my lower back will ever fully recover from carrying a kid.

    Who here has a mediocre relationship with their sibling(s)?

    @ernesjohnson Only children pining for a sibling or trying to guilt those of us who are OAD makes me role my eyes. There’s just so much assumption behind it- assuming this fictitious person will be your BFF, you’ll be inseparable, friends for life, etc. I have 3 siblings- I’m the youngest...

    OAD decision timeline

    @renette Ours has moved time and time again. But currently our only is 3.5 and if I am not pregnant by September (meaning I would be just shy of 40 when due) then we are 110% done. I personally don’t want kids after 40.

    Factors that helped you decide?

    @walid373 Age. Increased chance of intellectual disability as well as autism (45m and 38f). Also, energy. I struggle to have enough energy to give my almost 3 year old as it is. Mental health. I know I couldn’t be a great mom to two kids. I couldn’t handle my high needs toddler AND a newborn...

    I’m OAD, hubby isn’t and that’s okay

    @bachatagirl I have this baby fever from afar. Like I see a “perfect” Instagram family with multiples and a new baby and I desire another. But a friend was over this week for our toddlers to play and her 6 mo old is so freaking cute, but I had zero desire to hold him and he brought out no baby...

    In case anyone needs it: this is the official permission post for parents living in places with sub-freezing weather to relax on screen time and food

    @1daysoon Also, for those of us whose child becomes a Hulk monster when they get more than 25 min of screens AND doesn’t nap…well, we’re in this together.
