@priya12 A fun thing she can hold/do in the car. Kids that age also love races and competition.

@celise My mom did this with me and I do this with my kids

@jbereman Why do you have to move out? If you have primary custody then you can keep the house. Talk to your lawyer about this. Also, I know sahm that's work at gyms with kids clubs in them so they can take their kids to work for free and still make money. They don't pay great but you get paid...

@matthewcox I had no plans to develop a relationship. I found things to volunteer doing and started a hobby I always wanted to do. It also gives me time to run errands or get some house projects done that are easier/faster to do without my kids there. I get it. It is hard at first but it does...

@omslaw This what we have done too. At first I hated the weekends without the kids but now I don't mind as it gives me time to do things I want to do.

@memrin At that age, it was traumatic for my kids to FT me so we only FT if they requested. Did I miss them and worry? Absolutely but I learned to find other things to keep me busy and let it go and it worked out better for everyone.

@storieman Can you do zoom instead? That way it's on a computer and can be propped up and bigger for the child?

@leslie74 Holidays and how they are handled are specifically outlined in our plan.

@goldensleather If he has ADHD, it could be very overwhelming to get a plan together to get back to work. If he hasn't, he should try meds, a therapist, career coach.

@samiammk My kid tried that 3 years ago. The first time I cried for days. The second time, I said, "ok. I can call your dad and we can look at changing your schools,..." I went through the whole list of everything that would change. They didn't really want to live with their dad. I never heard...

@nhecu942 Can you go to an evening event with another family you know? Maybe do this at both schools and see if you can get a vibe. You might already be a little biased that it may not work but it's worth a shot. Even better if you and your co parent can go together.

@nhecu942 Honestly, they probably don't have it. It's done via census reports, state testing scores (which they can have their districts when they finish testing but they can't be compared to other districts until all districts are done), and a variety of other ways. The District office might...

Offer to babysit while she uses it

@nhecu942 Those school scores are BS. I say this as a teacher. They are factors that change weekly and are only updated every so many years. You want to actually look at the climate of the school. What is the teacher turn over rate the last 5 years? How do they support struggling students? How...

@gigatt18 A gift card to get her nails done or a facial

@brandi3167 I had a neighbor that had this happen twice. Her kids were fine.

@ryanafshar Call the doctor and ask for specifics in writing.

@tet1982 I have a teenager. Believe me, I understand.
