@jellofishxo I think you just have to go by whether your son is actually ready. If he's got multiple teachers/other professionals saying he's ready, then I think its a pretty good indication that he is! You can also talk to the school itself and ask what the anticipated age spread is. If most...

@utay62 Many, MANY 2 year olds just don't have the developmental capacity to participate in organized classes like gymnastics. Its just not developmentally appropriate. I get that some 2 yo's can do it, but most can't. You did the right thing to acknowledge that you were triggered by your...

@riyanjason Literally nothing. Both doses I had a sore arm for a few days. Like yeah it hurt but beyond that it was a complete non-event. Zero reaction whatsoever from my baby.

@olly91 Some of this is normal, expected "rudeness" from that age group. I'd largely just let it alone. Things like "my house is bigger and better," you can respond with "yes, houses come in all shapes and sizes because everyone has their own preferences. My husband and I bought this house...

@manishk012 Hmmm have you tried something like highlights magazines with her, maybe she would enjoy that? Or does she have any specific imaginary play kits? Doctor, vet, dentist, camping, grocery story, restaurant, ice cream shop, hair salon, etc.?

@ballofconfusion Yeah we don't really have TK to my knowledge where I live, but my understanding is that TK is like preschool but more "legit" and regulated by the school district?

@ballofconfusion I think as long as she gets to do T-K, any preschool before that is not necessary. Especially because she's still in some form of group childcare. She's still used to being around adults who aren't her parents, she's interacting with children who aren't her siblings.

@hulahooper My daughter has been SO lucky that despite her daycare overall having a pretty high level of turnover (presumably standard for the industry though), she's always been able to have a single consistent teacher in each of her 3 classrooms. Arguably in her current classroom there was the...

@omandi111 You should definitely ask! I'd spend some time thinking about ways you've grown into your role. If you can locate the job description from when you were hired that would help. You should note anywhere you feel you've gone above and beyond the initial job expectations as well. You can...

@yarnknitting So, you get 12 weeks paid (fully paid?) if you work there

@noelie Yeah honestly it doesn't make sense to me why they did it. I can only imagine it was meant to "appease" small businesses who might feel put out having to hold 2 people's jobs? But it's still super dumb. FMLA is literally just the most bare minimum level protection. It's UNPAID. People...

@johnnyhouse The FMLA policy (if both parents work for the same employer its 12 weeks combined, not 12 weeks each) is actually at the federal level. An employer could choose not to follow it, but really its on the federal government to fix that (which they ABSOLUTELY should).

@tek454btu What would your daughter think about going out for a meal with him vs a sleepover? On his end, it makes him "look" good because he's seeing her and taking her out. For your daughter, she gets the benefit of not spending more than a few hours with him, but also he actually does have to...

@izakmiles Two things immediately jump out at me: Your friend would be leaving any currently established, physically close support system she has. Now I see that her family isn't in her current location nor the new location, so this might not be a huge deal, but she should consider that if...

@ecclesiastian We camped last summer/fall with our daughter 3 times when she was 3-5 months old. So big caveat is that she was NOT mobile at all during these periods. Sleeping surface - we used a yoga mat. Specifically this...
