Discussions about parenting

Being out in nature makes it easier to create wonderful memories and fun adventures that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. Many years ago in Scotland, we built a den for the girls to spend the night in. They still talk about that night!

a human might go to Disneyland in a few stages

1. smol; taken by parents
2. adult; watching other children and realizing once again how much your parents have done for you
3. pay it forward to another smol human

so it goes round and round like the King Arthur Carousel 🎠

Everyone has one child that gets naked the instant they get home
Homemade Japanese curry roux blocks are a legit cheat code for getting a bomb dinner out the door quickly.

Question of the ages: Do I garden/do chores or do I continue contact napping with my 3.5 month old?
Hit me with the ol’ 5am wakeup then fall back asleep in my arms and I took the bait like a sucker
POV: You bring your kids, everyone else leaves

why is it that every time my son gets me sick, I end up being more sick than he was?
The feeling of getting the kids in bed and the kitchen clean, you boil some water, put some decaf, think about what you are going to watch on TV with your partner, finally sit down to rest a bit and disconnect, get the remote, touch it and start feeling something sticky because your kids, don't want to know what, use the remote with anything sticky (they were eating gummies today so I want to believe it is a gummy).

Obviously, you are already sitting on the sofa and have to wake up to wash your hands and clean the remote.
just want to say. i much prefer going over my kids math homework. their ela homework is too much reading! although I did just enjoy learning about how sad jefferson was to be at the continental congress. heh.
Now that Southwest is ditching the two free check-in bags policy, what airlines are fellow parents flying on domestically?
My snack today is a banana cookie made by my youngest son Dilan 🥰

He is diagnosed with grade 1 autism but he is as functional as anyone else, I simply love him.

I read a book about an elephant to my 6 month old & accompanied it with elephant sounds, something my older son used to love.

But this one got scared & started crying inconsolably until mom came and saved him from the scary elephant man.

It’s so interesting how different kids can be, and how much of their personality seems to come factory preset.
my son is super into parry gripp (formerly of nerf herder), caspar babypants (formerly of the presidents of the united states of america) and even loved the kids pop punk album by dan vapid of screeching weasel

so i think i'm going to try writing a childrens album this summer

parents, would you pre-order?
My last 2 days with a 6.5 month old:

I got sick, kid is teething, daylight savings, parents left, huge family party that threw off any and every schedule

There are no words that can describe the euphoria you feel when your baby recognizes you for the first time and smiles.

I’ve recently spoke with 15 families across the US, two of them just quit their jobs because they couldn’t find child care.
Any mealtime advice for 1.5-2 years old? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
OMG YouTube shows are so so annoying :( nastya, diana, Salish)
During conference week we have the book fair and us teachers get $20 to get books so I picked up these gems for my daughter. We have officially hit our Bluey phase.

Parents sometimes give harsh advice because they don't want their children to fail.

But I realize it's my ego.

The most important thing is to take care of the child's heart.
You don't have to keep moving forward. Sometimes it's okay to stop and step back.

As long as your mind and body are healthy, you can always challenge yourself!!
Woke up got ready in time for school drop off and reached at school on time only to realise it was a day off due to teacher work day 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ good morning parents! 😄
Daylight savings the last day of spring break before sending 3 kids back to school aint right
Nothing like a ‘sick’ kid to make your day in the studio super productive. 😏
I would like to tell you a very cringe story.

It was a last working day before the 8th March. I was extremely busy during the last few days and had no willings and time to buy any presents for anybody. When I took my kid to the kindergarten I noticed that many parents came with presents. I felt mortified not preparing any gifts for the teachers. I noticed that I was going red and I wanted to crawl under a rock.

But I decided to buy some chocolate candies and gift its when I would came back at the evening. When I picked my kid from the kindergarten I gave chocolate candies to my son and he had got the wrong end of the stick and gifted it to another teacher from the other group. I feel ill at ease because it was a faux pas. Our teacher stood near by and waited for the present. But I had no presents any more…
In what I'm sure will be the first of many, many times, my toddler corrected my mistaken lyric in a song he knows.

Apparently, it's 食べられちゃうぞー, not 食べられちゃうよ— (~zo, not ~yo).

Parenting is like a tough discipline.

I probably wouldn't worry or care so much if it were about myself.

Definitely not the same as how hard it was when the kids were little.
Adolescence is really tricky😂😂
My 7 yo keeps pretending to be the leprechaun and saying "oh free gold"

Then sets the trap... She is confident she is getting one this year!
