NamasteBirches glad you were able to at least sleep in this morning! Crazy about the dream. I hope things get sorted out soon. I really would like to stay here if that is a possibility? What does everyone think? Here I'm finally getting the nerve to post and get to know my people and now another forum?

gangy , what they're saying is that first they want to vote for the powers at be & then vote for where the resting place to be for the vast majority, here or the politics thread. I think the 3rd forum is off the table to my knowledge. Mcbenny has said she's not getting rid of this place so it's still gonna be here. Ideally, I'd like if everyone would just move here. It's a lot more organized here than there but I do see that there's more people over there for some reason.

So to continue yesterday morning's hell with DD, the night went similar. I don't know what her deal is lately but I am sick of arguing with a 5 year old. She is so damn strong willed. Anyway, it came down to threats. If she couldn't behave today, she is going to have some of her toys packed away for a while until she can start listening/obeying.
Thankfully this morning went much better. Not perfect but better. I hate that it has to come down to threats, but it seems that is the only thing that works with her.

I also had a crazy dream last night that somewhat was related to this place. I was walking around town hitting up bars and drinking by myself and I ran into Jellybean529/Emmaswan. She was all dressed up in her wedding gown and we were just hanging out having some beers. It was so strange.

Honestly, I think it gets harder and harder each year! No real change going on here. The only thing that maybe could be is that she did the kindergarten screening and we've been talking about the things that she'll need to be able to go by the time she goes in the fall. Maybe she's rebelling!

Yes, she is TTC and I think she was hanging out on GKU so I would imagine she's seen what is going on.

I would maybe have another casual convo with her kind of telling her to chill & it's not that big of a deal maybe? it's fun, exciting yada yada yada how did she seem at the screening? did she seem excited about about the thought of a new school & all that jazz?

Leading up to the screening she was really nervous and kept telling me she didn't want to go to a new school, that she wanted to stay where she was. She was nervous at the screening as she is very shy around new people and new situations. After the screening she actually seemed really excited. She continued to talk about her new school. It is across the street from our house so every time we drive by she'll say "that's my new school where I am going to go next year". So there has to be some sort of mixture of nervousness and excitement going on. And the things we are saying she has to know how to do aren't really academic. We told her she has to start getting her self dressed (which I know she can do but refuses) and going potty without help (which I also know she can do, but won't always).

I changed my username from emmaswan/jellybean529 to radiantfate (a portmanteau of my new married name ) I'm not much of a OUAT fan anymore either so emmaswan no longer fits. I am TTC but I'll still lurk around OAD misspeansmama dude I would totally hang out in a wedding dress and throw back a few beers! I like that dream!

I think her feelings are totally normal & I think you have a good amount of time for her to get used to the idea of it. Does the school do any kind of program for incoming kindergarteners in the summer? Ours has 'kindercamp' for a few weeks & it really helps them get acclimated with the new environment, etc & have fun in preparation for the new school year. Even if they don't, I'm sure she's gonna do great.

Even if they don't, I'm sure she's gonna do great. Not that I have heard of. I would have thought they would tell us if there was. Especially since I had a one-on-one conversation with the school psychologist. But I might have to look into it, just to double check.

take this with a grain of salt because she's 5 & 5 is freaking hard as hell so there is probably no damn answer besides she's 5 but has anything changed or has she mentioned something that may be bothering her lately? brace yourself, threats eventually stop working :x So if five is hard is hell when does this shit get easier?! DD will be 9 on Monday. In SOME ways, it's easier but in some ways it's a hell of a lot harder. Example: DD had a crying fit on Friday night because she and her "boyfriend" broke up and she "just wants to fall in love". (To which I'm like "kid, you're 9!" and "dear lord I'm not ready for this shit!") She also has a sassy mouth for DAYYYYYYYS. But, she can bathe, feed, dress, and entertain herself so that part's easier. Remind me why I wanna do this all over again?! LOL

Oh and this kid has a stubborn streak a mile long. If she doesn't want to do something you have to first break through the iron will, soothe the savage beast that resides within, and sprinkle a bit of pixie dust. Then, if you're lucky, she'll do a half-ass job of whatever it is you asked her to do. LOL. DD says to me this morning, "You have one superpower, and it's the ability to sometimes drive me insane." I go, "Back at ya, kid." 8 is GREAT. LOL

Already she is saying "leave me alone" "don't bother me" and slamming her door in my face. ugh.

However, I tried this with the mother of DD's bestie from daycare one night and it was a disaster to say the least... ???
