question

Today my 8 and half years old kid wrote the ‘F’ word at the school’s mirror and caught by the janitor. The kid has been showing interest about this word recently by asking questions about it. None of the parents use this word ever nor the kid watches TV/play online unsupervised. We are in shock...

So I am a sahp to our 2 year old son. A few weeks ago I was so sick that I fealt like I might pass out if I pushed myself even a little bit to contain so I went to his play room with him and let him watch Bluey while I rested. (I want it noted that normally I would never give him more than an...

Hi Moms and Dads, I have 3 kiddos, 8 y/o daughter, 4 y/o daughter and a 2 month old son. My oldest daughter is with us M-F and stays with her dad on the weekends where she's the only child. I will also add that she is ADHD and is medicated. We lost my 4 y/o's father to suicide when she was 1...

My daughter will be 2 later this year. But she’s pretty smart in comparison to other children I’ve known at her age (that’s not me bragging, just giving you the reason to want to start this) and so I want to start a school-like system in our home after her birthday once I see where she stands in...

My daughter is turning 3… 3 days before Christmas. I have no clue what to get her/what to tell people when they ask for a present list for her. Time is ticking and I’ve basically procrastinated this until the last minute, which adds more stress, which is making my mind go blank. What are y’all...

My husband (24M) and I (22F) have been trying for 18 months. My husband is due for his second sperm analysis on Wednesday, but the doctor didn’t seem concerned about his first analysis’ results. Can someone help me break down motility and SMORI? It just doesn’t seem right to me. Is this...

My baby is 15 weeks, so I know I have many many moons before this concern. However, I received ads about toddler beds enough times that I question if the pack n play will be enough. Originally when I received it, I thought I could use it until 3 or 4 for sleepy time. The ad made me wonder when...

i’m a freshman in highschool and my mom still gives me a bed time? It’s super embarrassing due to the fact all my friends parents don’t give them one? My bed time is 8:30/9 and i have a younger brother which is 8 and he has the same time? Is it just me or is this wrong?

I want to start by saying that I truly do love my mom. I wouldn't be nearly as healthy today as I am without her. I'm a 21m and the following is all real things my mom has done. Warning, this is a little graphic. My sister 25f was diagnosed with depression and anxiety at 12 and an eating...

Hi all, this is a bit of a stab in the dark, but I’m trying to buy my ten year old niece either some cool clothes, or a gift card to a store she likes. When I asked family what she would like, they said clothing would be awesome, as she’s already 5’7” and has been rapidly outgrowing things. I’m...

My 18-month started pre-k last week. He cries when we drop him off and on and off throughout the day. When we pick him up, he is happy to see us but not in distress. However, when he get home he throws tantrums all night crying and screaming and clinging to my leg. Anyone with experience?

Hey! We are building a smart interactive device that aims to automate the traditional paper calendar. We have built an early prototype and are looking for feedback and users to advise future development! 📆✨ The calendar uses a stylus to create a pen-to-paper-like input, and anything you write...

We brush twice a day, though for the last year/year and a half kiddo’s been brushing her own teeth (that’s now at and end). Flossing only when she felt something stuck (that’s also at an end now)… I feel terrible, evidently we failed, it’s not her fault! But this seems ridiculous! Kid’s not...

My son is 22 and his g.f. is 21. They have been living together for around two years. They got in an argument this weekend and I caught the tail end of it that she had been going off on him while he was driving, and was literally beating him with her shoe while he was driving and refused to get...

Hi there! I am currently a college student writing an academic paper on this question, I feel as gamers themselves are often bias to explaining their behaviours parents are the best way to critically analyse this, any responses are much appreciated as this will help a lot in being critical in my...

We are so ready to start our family and we want 4-5 kids if possible. However, I am in my first semester of law school and I wouldn’t want to get pregnant until after summer 2024 when I’ve finished 2 years of school and completed 2 summer externships. I would be okay getting pregnant the...

We have a 3 year old and an almost 2 year old. We are hoping to go on our first vacation. We will be driving from northern MI, to MD. It’s a 12-14 hour trip, but we are expecting it to be wayyyyyy linger with 2 little ones. We will be taking multiple stops. Our vacation will be for 10 days...

I recently had my Mirena removed (Sep, 1) after 5 years and we are now actively TTC. I spotted for a couple days after removal (but I also had a pap so was it uterus bleed or just a fun side effect of getting my cervix scraped? The world may never know). I have no idea when I ovulated this month...

For starters, all of this is years down the line. My GF is in school right now and agrees all of this goes on hold until she graduates, and we get settled (if we is still a thing). I just started my first job out of grad school, so my life is basically just starting as a real adult. My GF has...
