Because that was the thing that stood out as the mother's involvement and play is normal. Hopefully teachers will work that one out.
Just say, "Ok! Great! What didn't you break?"...they will immediately tell you what thru broke
I've tried doing floor exercises with my dogs in the room - they are enthusiastic but unhelpful.
I found my daughter's toothbrush in between two couch cushions...with foamy toothpaste on it....like WHY child? WHY??
I never say anything that can be taken as affirmative to them while absent-mindedly listening.
I had a window sticker on my car that said "Nice People Swallow," and when my 6 year old son asked me about it, I said something about not talking with your mouth full. I forgot the kid learned to read.
I think it meant that the mom packs herself a book, as if there is even a slight chance she will be able to read any of it during the trip.
I got a rc helicopter for my birthday because my dad wanted to fly it.
My former coworker goes fishing wearing his work uniform (on sundays!) just so his daughter doesn't pester him to join in.
Nah - I'd explain. Kids at school will correct him far more harshly.
Many children will realize what's going on with their missing food before they understand Santa's not real.
I was lucky enough to have two girls 8 years apart. I got to endure Frozen with the first one and then after I FINALLY got that f'n song out of my head I hear 12 year-old tell 4 year-old, "Oooh! We should watch Frozen. It was favorite when I was about your age." NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eh? Isn't the idea that you tell them it's midnight because it's dark and they need to go to bed despite it being 8pm.
Siblings snitch on each other. That's one of the most fundamental laws of sibling life.
Oh, your's is only half naked? Our poor UPS driver has seen both myself and the toddler naked. She ran for door to see who it was and here I come right after, naked as a Jaybird telling her it's too cold to be outside with no clothes on.
What is this hotel thing? We just celebrated dad being "too ill" to do anything off the campsite, so mum took us, a picnic, toys and a book to the beach (yes, she got to read, "If you bother me and it's not an emergency...no ice cream") We had to say when we were going/back from swimming and stay near the lifeguard. Dad stayed in the tent/caravan and read with a flask of tea and his own picnic. We didn't have to go to museums and answer his questions about what we had learned on "dad's ill" days
Ha. My mom remembers the exact time of my birth (near the end of 8 59 am), but no one remembers if my brother was even born in the morning or night.
Could be "Does it melt?" the musical if they find a magnifying glass and take the toys out on a sunny day
That was always me. I didn't need as much sleep as my mother thought I did, or desperately wanted me to have so that she had a longer child-free evening.
I missed when we were told that we're supposed to feel refreshed and full of energy on New Year's Day!
BAD move: "eating refined carbohydrates like pasta can cause a rise in blood sugar, followed by a plunge in insulin levels, which cause fatigue and weakness". Also: "carbs may boost tryptophan and serotonin, two brain chemicals involved in sleep". If you want energy eat protein.
I'm 62. I have 3 sons. 2 are over 40,1 is mid 20s. You continue to worry about your kids lives after their adults with children of their own. It's a natural thing.
I wish someone had told me that earlier. I wouldn't give mine up, but I had that sudden realisation a few years back that even once they hit 18 I would still be worrying about them. Aie.
