I could not be a teacher!

My MIL got my almost 3 year old the coolest learning book. The first 10 pages are all following the dots to make a straight line to learn pencil control, and following direction. I let my son do the first page holding a pencil the way he wanted, then I tried to show him how to hold it the right way. He wasn't havi...

Segregated facilities

Do you think the people will really allow and entertain this? Do you think things will go back to how things were?

Playing independently

Anyone got any tips to help a 2.5year old play independently? She plays okay on her own when I'm busy doing stuff, but I've been sick recently and cannot get a lie down without her pestering me.

Without screen time, what does your day look like?

I’m trying to cut out screen time however what do I do with him to keep him entertained without it? His toys only keep him interested for very short periods. Of course we go out but I still also need to tend to the house (single parent). I’m not sure if I need to invest in different activities and if I do, I don’t k...

FaceTime

What’s your views on FaceTime, my 5 month old grandparents constantly call us and expect to see her on FaceTime. We see my in laws nearly every weekend, yet they’re ringing everyday. Also their other grandchild is also obsessed with phones and cry’s for her. I’m concerned because I don’t want the same thing and now ...

Hot mom walk

Any mommas near North Highlands, Antelope, or Roseville that want to get together for a stroller walk? Me and my almost 7 mo old go on a walk almost everyday at the Dry Creek trail. I either push him in his stroller or wear him in his carrier. Would love to make some new friends too 🫶🏼

Boring afternoons.

I never know what to do with my 22 month old in the afternoons. I’m a SAHM to one toddler. Our mornings are usually pretty busy with breakfast, clean up, getting dressed, laundry, libraries, or activities but then after her nap I never know what to do. It’s still rather cold and rainy here so I don’t want to be outs...

Fighting in school

So I have noticed over the last few years of policies in school. If a child is hit and that child hits back they can be suspended for defending themselves.... how do you deal with that?

This may sound silly, but…what do you do with baby all day?

My son (16wk) isn’t very interested in toys yet; at most he wants to watch them or grip them. He loves to watch his mobile and sometimes will play with a sensory book. So, between food, naps, walks, and some tummy time…what do your lil ones do all day?

Baby moon

Has anyone else booked a trip away before their baby arrives? My husband and I are looking at a week away in June. I’m nervous about Europe with Zika virus, looked at a cruise around the Norwegian fjords but they won’t let you on if you’re over 24 weeks. Thinking we may need to stay in the UK but keen to hear if a...
