Hi guys, I have a chronic hypertensive uveitis and my IOP recently reached 66. After several types of drops and the Diamox meds, my eye pressure thankfully lowered! Question.. those who have taken Diamox, do you feel any super chill, lethargic, numbing and tingling feeling?? This is the first I've been given this. What did you do to function normally while on Diamox? Currently have to take 4 tabs a day which seems quiet a lot and it makes me feel too relaxed to drive or do anything else. Thanks in advance

PS. I have two kids 2 under 3 sooooo sleeping all day isn't really a choice 😂

Hi everyone, would love to ask for some tip or itinerary advice for our upcoming trip!

We are going in November for 3.5 weeks staying mostly 3-5 nights in each city

We have hotels booked already and are going in this order

Guangzhou

Shenzen

Ziangjiajie

Chongqing

Chengdu

We have two little kiddos 2.5yo and 7mos old.

We have a tour guide already in Chengdu

We like mostly nature, less shopping but still likes to do it, more culture feels but still bit modernized

Tia 🙏

Hi all, we are a family of four with two little kids under 3yo. We are going to Shenzen to experience the tech. Do you think we can DIY or preferably best to book a tour guide? Would anyone have any recommendations please? We will be staying in Nanshan district. Tia 🙏

​Hi guys! I'm a mum of two boys, and we are really wanting to homeschool both of them. They are still very little, so I'm doing all the preparation now since we need to register and officially start in 3 years.

​I feel this subreddit is the perfect place to ask questions for me to be aware if I am missing anything. What made you feel like homeschooling failed for you, or caused more harm than good? I want to do right by my kids, and my husband and I have agreed that if they ever want to try traditional school down the track, we are completely open to it.

​Currently, we go out a lot to learn.. we visit the science centre, museums, the zoo, library, parks etc. We also do playdates with friends for socialization, and my kids attend swimming and gymnastics. I've been doing some gentle teaching at home too, and my oldest is doing so well for his age. We don't force anything at all; we just spend a lot of time reading, talking and exploring, following his lead.

​If you could please share what pitfalls to avoid or what you think some parents do wrong, I’d be so appreciative. I just want to know what to watch out for!

​Thanks in advance.

PS. My husband and I are both encouraging our kids to speak up and have their own opinion. We don't like the idea of 'im the parent so you must listen to me".

I have two young boys who are two years apart, and our family is complete. My biggest goal as a parent is to raise them to be close friends not just now, but when they are grown adults with their own families.

​I’ve sometimes heard the stereotype that boys grow up, get married, and drift away from their parents, whereas daughters stay close. I really want to challenge that!

​For the men here who genuinely enjoy spending time with your parents and siblings as adults: What did your mom and dad do during your childhood to foster that bond? What boundaries or traditions made you want to stay close? I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can while they are still little. Thanks!
