Oh wow. I had no idea this thread existed. Our younger one just started teething but it's hard to describe how different it is with him compared to our first. It's weird!

We were pretty good about keeping our first off of screens until he could walk, not so much with the younger one. Oh well!

We are moving across the country in 10 days and our 3 year old can sense things are changing so he's a little easier to cry than normal. We've explained to him as best we can what's going to happen and we try to make sure he gets a lot of attention to help him feel secure and it seems to work because he's excited to get on a plane. Anyone else been through this? He'll have more outdoor space where we're going so I think he'll love it.

I had a student who liked Sid the Science Kid. Sid's mom looks wall eyed and it's really freaky. I don't like the dance sequences. I can proudly announce that my three year old not only has a favorite simpson's episode (Lisa's First Word), but he's able to quote from it. I am so happy..

AxGrap posted:Baby is in the hospital with RSV and still breastfeeding so my wife has to stay there with her while I stay at home with the three year old. This stinks. New kid is pretty miserable and there isn't anything we can do about it except suck her nose every couple hours. Not worried about her dying or long term effects or anything but the hospital support is the best option for the baby. Feeling pretty helpless. Wow. Sorry to hear this and I hope your little one gets better soon.

I am TERRIFIED of forgetting they're back there but I also have to check that the door is locked and the oven is off half a dozen times before I can leave the house so it might be related to that.

Our two kids, 3 years old and a 7 month old, survived the move across the country without any meltdowns or even much crying. They did three flights. It didn't start off so great because on the first flight our oldest didn't understand why he couldn't just climb over people to get to his mom and he didn't sleep well so the poor guy was exhausted during the first layover. it was a really good feeling that the military family behind us had two of the screamiest kids ever so our kids looked awesome in comparison. The second and third flights were no problem, both of them slept most of the time. I am just honestly surprised and proud they did so well and it makes up for the fact that I haven't slept for 28 hours or so, I feel like I could go 28 more. I hate traveling and get extremely anxious when I have to fly so that doesn't help. The one thing I could have done better is get our oldest used to public bathrooms because he is currently terrified by them. He refused to use the bathroom or a diaper and held it for the entire trip. I have no idea how he did it.

We are waiting a bit longer to put the 3 year old back in preschool. We are in a new part of the country but he is doing ok because there are more outdoor activities for him and just more space in general. I've been interviewing at different school districts and it's weird how little time some of them lost to covid compared to where I came from. We will vaccinate both boys for sure when it becomes available but the moderna shots made me so sick I worry about them!

My son is doing the sleep regression thing now. He wakes up at 2 and won't go to back to sleep until 4. The toddler isn't doing much better. I realize I haven't slept a whole night since 2017. This is the real crack ping and I'm going to post through it.

Another Bill posted:I'm here for you. We didn't sleep through the night from 2014 - 2018 and it really broke part of my brain. I'd say it took almost 2 years for me to recover and not feel like a basket case. Getting on a good workout schedule was what really helped get my brain and internal clock fixed fwiw. Also buying a good bed for my kid so we could just sleep next to them comfortably and let the other parent rest. From a while back, but thank you! Currently their schedules are all messed up but we are getting there. Pillowpants posted:my 3 year old is autistic and can’t really talk much and I’m worried he’s not eating enough and Idk what todo Our soon to be 4 year old used to eat a lot of different food but he's gotten picky. It's pretty much just pb & j. Apologies if this is out of line, but I assume since he has the diagnosis that he's been evaluated so maybe you can get some assistance through your insurance. This might depend on what state you are in.

Good soup! posted:My baby is about to turn 9 months old and barring a few regression periods, still sleeps from about 7 pm to 6 am I hear about this all the time and it just seems strange. It's nice to know that there are babies who can sleep through the night though! Waking up at 3 or 4 is just something I do now. I honestly think the main reason our soon to be 1 year old sleeps better than the oldest is because he had a month long NICU stay after he was born but I'm not a doctor so I have no idea.

Thanks for the advice regarding my son's anemia. The blood test didn't show anything too scary so he's eating iron supplements until the next blood test. He seems to like it, it's chocolate flavored.

For the past few months I've had this nagging guilt about my son in preschool. We had to move across the country in June but he absolutely LOVED his old school, his teachers, and the kids there. He started at his new school in October and while he never really has a problem going, he's only recently started enjoying it. Today he told me that it was fun because a girl was chasing him and he had to run really fast. I'm so relieved that I had to share it here.

When our son was two I was shocked that he was eating some of the spicy potato I got from the korean bbq place we lived by. He is picky now but doing better. The only frustrating thing now is our youngest can't quite figure out how to drink from a cup.

My folks were visiting for a week and I just came back from dropping them off at the airport. Our 4 year old is old enough to understand that his grandparents aren't here anymore so he was kind of sad this morning. We tried to prepare him for this and I think it worked because he's okay with it now. Parenting is tough! Business Trombone posted:all that poo poo is wild. it's not like that everywhere- in 10+ years of teaching I've never worked somewhere that had more than a codeword they would use on the announcements for an active shooter. One school I taught at brought a company run by cops and vets for a training that taught me how to kill a guy with a three hole punch. Greg Legg has issued a correction as of 12:54 on Apr 3, 2022 |

The Nastier Nate posted:i dont trust school rankings. I work in a lot of school districts with people who have disabilities and people who are experiencing severe trauma at home. This seems to be the case. I met with the student council at a middle school in a district with a pretty bad reputation and I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart from the student council in a "better" school. Their parents are just more involved. Now, this is cspam so we probably all know why some parents aren't able to be involved. That's the way it is right now though. Edit: For parent content, we met a nice family at the library who is on the same page as us regarding covid. Yesterday we met at the park and had a great time and now my son has a friend. It's nice.
