Activities for pre-K kid near the train station?

Hi! I’m visiting CT next week and my kid is obsessed with the train. We’ll be taking the metro north into Norwalk to meet some friends, and I’m wondering if anyone can recommend an activity suitable for a 3.5 year old within 20 minutes walk (with a stroller) of the train station.

Maritime Aquarium is nearby but a bit pricey for the amount of time we will be spending.

Thank you!

Milford train station, Lot 4 question

Hi! I’m from Milford but live elsewhere now. I’ll be visiting some family and want to take my toddler on metro north for an excursion.

I used to be able to park behind Milford library for the train station—does that require a permit now?

I see there is a daily lot on High Street with a $7/day charge. Does this lot fill up early?

Thank you!

Bringing child with me to confession?

Would you bring your 3 year old child to confession with you? I need to go, but there is no time available for me to go solo. I don’t have anything salacious or particularly inappropriate to confess, but I had poor time management recently and missed mass because of that, which I know is a mortal sin.

Husband is abusive

My husband is abusive. We have a little kid, it only moved into abuse once our LO was born.

I live in a 50/50 custody state in a rural red area with a family law judge who doesn’t gaf. I can’t leave and split custody with a man who literally is not safe to be around. I can’t leave my defenseless child with him.

We are on a trip and he’s just been shitty. It isn’t a surprise. And he blames me for his behavior, because of course.

Anyways. I’m tired. He sucks. I hate all of it.

Parent in the process of getting diagnosed

My only surviving parent is likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease soon, based on behaviors, cognitive tests, and bloodwork. My other parent passed away less than a decade ago.

I feel very devastated. They were already having memory problems when my first parent passed, related to a non-dementia diagnosis. However, I understood when my parent passed away I was losing the only parent who knew me well and remembered my childhood.

My surviving parent doesn’t remember my toddler’s name, my husband’s name, and I know at some point they will not remember me. I’m surprised by the depth of grief I am feeling, and the sense of losing a tether and a grounding in this world by losing my second parent.

I haven’t talked to anyone about this yet, since the news I just haven’t even wanted to say it out loud. I’m an RN and see many late stage patients with dementia. I’m just so sad.

Admission, Discharge, Transfer role

Currently work in an ICU. There is an admission, discharge, transfer opening in step down.

The hours would be good, I would be losing my pay differential.

Has anyone worked a job like this? Did you like it?
