My 5-year old wakes up between 6 - 7, but knows by the time on the clock and the colour of his nightlight that he has to stay in bed until 7. Normally during school and summer camp, this works fine. But next week I'm off work and oh my goshhhh we would love a bit of a sleep-in (I wake up early with him every day of the year except my birthday and Mother's Day). However, when I try and tell my son we're going to stay in bed until 7:30, he is ADAMANT that the clock says 7 and the light is green so it's time to get up. I could try and convince him that we're going to wake up at 7:30 instead but I fear I will lose that battle every day. How unethical would it be to change the clock in his room by 30 minutes so he thinks it's 7 while it's really 7:30? His bedtime varies so it wouldn't cause a problem in the evenings. Is this a harmless white lie? Would you do it?

I’ve started listening to audiobooks in the evenings instead of podcasts, I find they’re much more calming and soothing. I’ve got a very overactive nervous system and so gravitate towards books that are slower-paced, comforting and cozy. I‘m looking for recommendations for audiobooks that are low-stakes and chill. Fiction and non-fiction are welcome. I’ve already read and loved Legends and Lattes, Beth Durst’s books, lots of Becky Chambers, All Creatures Great and Small, Sangu Mandanna, The House in the Creulean Sea. What else would I enjoy?

My little guy gets bad eczema patches and scratches his skin raw overnight. I’d like to change up his shampoo and body wash to see if it helps his skin. What do folks recommend for kiddos with sensitive skin?

Finally an update from Xavier that he submitted on May 21st. But is this a typo, he says 10:30 PM Nepal time? When he says the summit push took 25 hours, does he mean from Camp 4 and back down again took 25 hours, or it took 25 hours to summit?If so, I’m scared for him in hindsight! Glad it worked out for him but if he didn’t follow the 2pm turnaround time and kept going for another 8 hours? Perhaps not the best decision-making in pursuit of the summit.

EDIT: He has since posting corrected the summit time to 10:30 AM, which makes much more sense!

I love this theory. It makes me question whether Jess vs Dean will become an enduring framework for understanding love triangles given its popularity. Is there a more popular love triangle out there? Maybe Edward vs Jacob?
