    School board just voted in favor of 4 day school week for next year

    @joojaa I live rural and we are two days a week (and sometimes Fridays) for kindergarten (because bussing). The community is adapted to this schedule - the Dayhome providers have created a governing body that matches kids to providers and kinders are all covered for the days they don’t have...

    Anyone else feel like they’re walking on eggshells around their toddler?

    @charles72 Advice, if you want it…. (Or skip to the last sentence) Let her have the tantrum. It’s ok to be upset. It’s ok to be mad. Even if you are mad, WE ARE GOING TO THE STORE. Scream the whole way, I don’t care. I NEED MILK. I talk calmly the whole time repeating “you can be mad, but...
