Sorry guys, but I got permission to do this. Friday is a holiday. Thursday is a travel day. Some of us will be absent for a while because of this. I have some to spill so I'm starting this!

My long haired dog got caught in TWO sticky mouse traps on Sunday. Well actually three, but he got stuck in one first then two at the same time. It was a mess. I had to cut them off of him and I nicked his belly. I feel terrible about it. The confession part is, I haven't cleaned the stickiness off his feet because I know he's going to fight me. I'm boarding them starting this weekend and I'm going to "confess" that it "just happened" and I "didn't have time" to clean him up. Then pay for a groom.

Dylan is having a rough time at school. I seriously don't know what else to do. I'm panicking that they will say he's not ready for kindergarten and we will have to pay for another year of daycare for him.
Reading about the current Wonder Weeks leap Rhys is supposed to be in makes me feel like a failure as a parent. He can't do any of what they list... Although I pray it really is why he's been SO whiny lately because according to that the leap will be over in a few days!

Is this a thing they do with a January baby? I feel like they should just have him do K and then if he needs another year, do it again. I should obviously work for your school district so that would ease your mind. I hope it works out, bud.

What's on the list? He's doing great, don't worry!

I don't know if they would do something like that but I feel like my kid is "that kid" taking all the teacher's time. I don't know what else to do to help. We offered him a reward, we've given him punishments. He just doesn't care!

I'm not an expert, or a teacher. I'm just a mom. But I feel like at some point, the only way to get them used to a group instruction situation, is to put them in it. I feel like kindergarten is the place where they learn that. I could be totally off base here.

I just really hate that my kid is the one that is disruptive in class. He's the one that is taking away from the other kids. I didn't mind it so much in 4K because it was at daycare and there were 3 teachers in his class. The good thing is that I can tell he is learning stuff! In a matter of a week at summer school, he is writing his name in lower case letters!

My local Melting Pot is giving away a $100 gift certificate for the oldest pic from their location and their favorite pic from their location that someone submits. I entered this photo of my parents from 2005. Lol. And if I win I'm going out with my girlfriends, not sharing it with them.

Fuck. We have firmly been OAD. Lillian is older and I can kind of see how not having a sibling is affecting her. She has a BFF at school but sometimes the little girl plays with someone else and L gets upset about it. The teachers say they go back and forth all day long, fighting, then playing like sisters. Then she comes home and it's just the 3 of us. She calls our dog her sister. She asked last week for a brother and a sister. Maybe this is normal for all kids with their friends at school but I wasn't expecting the clicks to be forming this early in the school game. I just wish she had a sibling to come home to and know there was someone for her to play with.
I was talking to my husband about it and he said even he was feeling bad. When we go to the beach condo, she has all of us adults to play with. I don't know. I just wish I wasn't at this heavy of a weight or else I would be pushing for another baby. My age doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I am pretty sure we won't be having another child, but I have just been having a lot of thoughts lately. I wasn't expecting them to last this long.
I've been craving mcdonalds breakfast for weeks. I want a mcmuffin, oj, and iced vanilla latte. But I don't know if I can handle taking both kids. I mean it would just be the drive through so I guess I could. they need to deliver.

10.5 months old.
I'm just feeling guilty because we don't get to give him the same attention we did to Delaney but I know that's the case with second (and more) children.
katie do not feel bad. Whatever you decide for your family is the right thing, and she'll be just fine either way. Her behavior is totally normal, and she's a happy, outgoing girl that will always have a strong social circle, with or without a sibling. Hugs. This stuff is hard.
I some times wonder how certain people feel about me or how they view me on here. Then I have to remind myself that I don't really care and that they probably didn't like me to begin with.
I think you have the right idea. Even in a tighter group like this not everyone is going to be a BFF.

katie if it makes you feel better to hear the other side, I often wonder if my kids would be better off if they were an only child. Ruby especially I think would be doing even more if I had the time to focus on her one on one, and if I just had violet I could work on so many more speech and fine motor skills. It's so hard either way!
I think it's the age. A has been asking for a baby. A girl baby. (I can totally order one of those, right?) She also talks about going to the baby store (Babies R Us) to buy one because apparently they sell babies there. Ha! I feel sad that she doesn't have a play mate right now but I think it's her seeing that her friends have siblings and she wants one too.
Eta. You have to do what's right for your family right now. I feel like having one there's the guilt of not having another. Having two, there's the guilt of dividing your time. You can't win.
Last night I was hugging Lil telling her she was my baby and she told me she wasn't a baby She has never said that before. She always tells me I am her baby. For a split second I almost burst out in tears. But I didn't want her to get upset and told her she will always be my baby but I know she is a big girl now and I was so proud of her.

I feel like this a lot. I keep hoping I will outgrow it lol.
ladybug that seems advanced! I guess my fftc is aside from walking and smiling I don't really remember when A did a lot of things. I feel like all the checklists are different and freak me out. The range of "normal/typical" is so broad. He's your baby, trust your gut, you'll know if something is wrong.

@katie1017 I'm an only child who grew up around adults and I'm pretty sure I turned out ok. She will grow up mature, independent and she will always have a good grasp of life.
ladybug if I had asked wy at 10 months how big he was... he probably would have looked at me, drooled, then try to chew on the closest object, like a shoe. Or the cats tail.
The Internet and apps make us all feel like we are failing our children at one point or another. Babies aren't robots. They aren't all made the same. The Internet needs to give us parents a break! Or we all need a break from the Internet! Ha!
rainbowchip I bet he will do really well in kindergarten. The structure and new enviornment might help him. Also he sounds like he has a lot of energy and maybe he will discover something he loves in school and can focus all that energy on it like; music class, a sport or art class. Like a positive outlet. I know I teach older kids but some of the kids who have a hard time settling down do really well in special areas like art (more hands on and project/choice based) My district has a pre-1st class for kids who aren't ready to move out of K and they don't want to hold them back. Maybe they have something like that too, if he needed it.
ladybug that does sound really advanced. R is such a happy, sweet little guy! Don't worry. Sometimes that app makes me paranoid because I anticipate Luke being grumpy when I see a stormy period coming. I think he's supposed to be in one now that lasts 5 weeks, what the heck!
