I ask because my little one was outside and pointed to the chimney saying “there’s where Santa comes down!”

I usually go overboard and get the yearbook, individual pictures, class pictures etc. I ask because my kids picture day is Wednesday and I just wondered what other parents are spending on packages and what they are getting for pictures

The past few years, my sons teachers has emailed me MANY times about my sons behavior which lots of times were about goofing off with friends and not listening to teachers. This year in 2nd grade, one of his very best friends is in his class and is even sitting behind him. My son informed me today that his teacher is changing the seating arrangements since some kids aren’t listening to which idk for sure, but I feel like it implies to my son and his best friend. Is it okay to email his teacher or unnecessarily to email her and ask how my sons behavior has been and if he’s goofing off with his friends at school or being good and learning

As everyone knows, no school for kids on labor day. I took my 7 year old son to an amusement park that lasted from 11am to 7pm with him having school again on Tuesday. Would you take your kid to an amusement park the night before your 2nd grader has school again, or was it a bad parenting decision in your opinion to take him there?

I never realized DannyGo until my son was in kindergarten. Ever since then, my son has enjoyed his videos. Looking into him, I found that Danny Go has unfortunately lost his young son. I just find, unlike, Blippi, that Danny Go is a great guy making YouTube videos for young children to enjoy, even before his son past away. I just find him genuine and feel like he does these YouTube videos out of love, meanwhile, the things I read about the OG blippi makes me sick to my stomach. I just feel like out of all the children’s entertainment YouTube channels, that DG is the most genuine and has a big heart and genuinely loves what he does instead of the original blippi who is a big red flag and makes me not even want my kid to watch them. But DG seems like a great guy, and I don’t mind giving him all the love and support towards his fame because he deserves it.

I printed out 2nd grade worksheets which had like math and reading, etc. I printed them out so I could maybe do those worksheets at night just as a practice for him. I know he’s super smart and will be just fine, but a lot of his best friends are in his class and i know when his friends are in his class, he goofs off with them and doesn’t care about his school work. I was gojng to do those worksheets that i printed out every night so he can get extra practice for school. Is this unnecessary?

I unfortunately never requested tomorrow off which is the first day of my son’s first day of 2nd grade.. it’s bitter sweet for me since he’s growing up too fast, but I’m also so proud of how far he’s come and that he’s going into 2nd grade as a super smart kid. I just feel bad because the last few years, I was able to take him to school and see his excitement when he’s reunited with his friends and is excited about this year, but the first day of 2hd grade, I have to work, so I’m unable to see that. His grandma is taking him to school tomorrow for the first time for his first day of 2nd grade, but I’m also kinda sad that I won’t be there to see him being all excited to see his friends again and just going into another new year of school. Of course, his grandma is going to send his mom lots of pictures, but I just feel kind of bad/off for not being there to actually drop him off at school for his first day of 2nd grade. Either way, I’m gonna cry, but I just feel bad and guilty for not being there for his first day of 2nd grade and only seeing pictures that grandma sends..

I’m new to my job and worked at this daycare for one month now. Without asking me, my boss scheduled me from 9am to 6pm which is close. I got sick of it because I sometimes got out a little later than 6pm and I hated it because it was less time than I got with my 7 year old. Some other woman, who are mothers, have younger children (6 months+) but their kids are in the daycare too, so their able to see them throughout the day. But they sometimes close. But for me, I closed everyday. Some other woman who have kids around the same age as mine, barely or even never closes and gets out earlier than 6pm. Is it selfish of me to tell my boss the latest I could work is 5pm, purposely so I can go home earlier and spend a little over an hour more with my son?

My boy is very athletic and is involved in a few different sports and is very active throughout the day. He’s already super thin because he’s so active and constantly on his feet playing and running around. Plus, he takes karate and has been doing it for 3 years now. He’s got a lot of muscle from that and is very strong. Lately he’s been obsessed with wanting to exercise and work out so he can get abs and get lots of muscles and get even stronger. He lifts up his shirt and looks at himself in the mirror at his “abs” and is obsessed about his body. Is this normal? I never taught him to be obsessive over his body and I don’t obsess over my body so I don’t know where he’s getting it from.

He’s been in SP before, but he’s gotten better so they stopped having him come to therapy. For a really long time now, I noticed a few words he’s having trouble pronouncing. Instead of saying “chicken nuggets” he pronounces it like “chicken nud-its” it’s that and maybe one other word he mispronounces, but is that a normal thing I can fix at home or should I take him back to the SP?

We went to the park tonight and all of a sudden, my son said “mommy, I have to pee” and then ran off into the woods area and peed. It’s right by the playground, so the couple with their kid saw him. He did it so he pulled down his shorts just enough for him to pee, but didn’t show himself in public. The mom saw what he was doing because she looked at me and we both laughed. I laughed because I was kind of embarrassed, but she thought it was kind of funny. Do you let your boys pee in public?

I just don’t know if they’ll feel awkward for having grandma take your kid instead of you since they know you and never met your son’s grandma.

We never dated and met online. Ended up getting pregnant from him and he wanted nothing to do with me or the kid until he found out I was keeping it. He pays child support and is somewhat in our son’s life. He lives in a different state and has only met our son once or twice when he was just one or two years old (he’s now 7) on Mother’s Day, he text me and said “happy Mother’s Day” should I return that text and wish him a happy Father’s Day or should I not?

For starters, I don’t know WHY my boy is like this and if he’s doing this to be “funny” or if he’s actually upset about this, but if I burp (YES, you read that right) he will literally come in the room I’m in and hit me. It doesn’t matter if I’m in a different room and he hears me, he will literally come in the same room I’m in and HIT me. Even if we’re driving down the road and I burp, he will literally get MAD and tell me to hit myself if he’s unable to reach me/hit me himself. Idk why, but he gets SO mad over that. He also gets SO mad if his tablet stops working/freezes and he starts hitting it and I yell it him for hitting it. Then he comes after me and hits me for it. He is literally a kid from heLL and I literally wish I was making this up, but idk how to handle this when he does this. Yelling at him seems to make it worse to where he wants to hit me more. I know he absolutely 1000000% shouldn’t hit his own MOM, but idk how to handle it when he does because like I said, yelling at him and correcting him makes it worse.
