Chaos is about the only skill my kids have mastered.

Chaos is about the only skill my kids have mastered. Same! My initial reaction was to just throw the note out and not address it. A kid knocking down a block tower without asking in a developmental preschool sounds pretty par for the course to me. And I promise you this wasn't done maliciously. He 100% thought it was fun to knock down block towers (like most kids, I assume).

Lol. THE TRUTH HURTS! I think you're just a year or two younger than me, right? If not, my apologies. I’ll be 38 in November. And I think you just turned 39 in February right?

He also loves for me to sit on the top of the foam roller and push me over.

C thought the funniest thing in the world is to "push" someone and have them dramatically fall over. He was doing it with my dad and brothers. It was fine and all until he tried it with a kid at soccer. Luckily it's the very lightest push and the other kid didn't even notice but H and I did. So I made them stop playing that game.

Wow jubilantsquirrel. I can’t believe he was bit and you didn’t get notification about it. That’s really messed up. And he’s LEARNING that skill so if he doesn’t get it quite right yet I don’t see the problem since he’s learning the skill. That note was a little OTT to me.

It's okay. What I'd really like to do is take some hydrocodone and drink some wine, because that usually makes my head feel better. But that's probably frowned upon at work. More offices should support this. I’m sorry you have a migraine.

So I'm a little annoyed at DS1's preschool. We got a note from his teacher yesterday that said "We are working on social skills in class by building block towers and then asking if they can knock down the towers. Jonah is knocking down towers without asking". Like... Ok? I mean obviously that's a dick move, but also what can I do about this at home? That seems to be something that needs to be corrected in the moment. I'll still talk to him about not knocking down towers but at the same time, they're having the kids build towers so they can be knocked down. He's missing a big step there by not asking first, but also that seems to be the entire point of that specific exercise. I think he’s a genius. Why would he ask? His end goal is to knock that fucker down and if he asks they might say no. Sounds like J just knows how to get what he wants. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I knowwwww...not helpful. But, I think that exercise is strange.

Is this a PMS thing? What triggers them for you? I've never been able to figure it out. I had to keep food journals for years after college. Sometimes I get them before I'm going to start my period but sometimes I don't. I just finished my cycle a week ago. I got one Saturday while running errands too. It seems like they're coming more frequently than they used to. A long time ago I was on Lexapro in order to reduce the # of migraines. I took it about 9 months and never had a migraine while on it. But then I stopped it because I didn't like the idea of having to take something every day in order to prevent them. Fast forward to the last couple of months researching cyclic vomiting syndrome for M and now I'm thinking about giving it another try. Lol. I used to feel like way about meds too. Now I think I would take literally anything to make my life easier. I’m with kleigh that I get occasional ones and feel like the world is ending, so I feel absolutely terrible for you that you get them so frequently and have to just suck it up and KOKO.

But, I think that exercise is strange. He's always been self sufficient in that he just gets what he wants instead of asking us to get it for him. Normally that means climbing on the counters to get into the cabinets. But really, he'll only ask if it's something he can't get himself (like the ice cream that lives in the garage freezer).

Did you age 63884 years the first time you saw him standing on his own on the countertop? M sits on ours every night while I make dinner and it doesn’t phase me, but H freaks out every single time he sees it.

But walking in and seeing him stand on the counter I was like HOLY SHIT GET DOWN!!!
