I think Cadence is in another growth spurt. It would explain the moodiness, the random wake ups at night (she's ended up in mh's bed twice this week) and the constant hunger. Stop growing!

wedding, I'm probably in the minority here, but I wouldn't be annoyed if another kid brings Oreos to school every day. unless he's taunting the other children with it. Although I don't pack a lunch for Josie, if I did I would probably limit her sweet treats to dessert at home or while we were out (she has a little something sweet every day -- it could be as big as a cake pop, but also a small as two M&Ms), but I could see packing a sweet treat in her lunch box every so often.

Dh is home and I think I'd rather him still be gone. I'm so frustrated with him and have been on the verge of tears all morning. I'm seriously considering leaving the house tonight as soon as he he's home from work and not coming home until the kids are asleep.
But it's nothing against the kids so I don't want to take it out on them. I just need him to step up.

wedding M occasionally gets cookies in her lunchables. I usually send one once or twice a week. She's told me what some other kids eat so I was feeling guilty that she never got anything good. lol.

Yup. I am. And A being all breezy about it is making me rage. I need more info! Apparently this has been going on for 3(!!!!!!) days and they just keep locking everyone in every day until it's time to leave. How the F*** does that work? And why wasn't he told about it before he agreed to work there? He agreed Tuesday morning. I'm so confused by the whole thing and he won't get more info. I'm about to be that wife and email the school director.

I'm sorry slenle. I don't feel like H does the same amount I do around the house and with E and it's just 1 kid. So I can't imagine how frustrating it would be with 2 littles. When the kids go to bed, pour yourself a glass of wine and relax, put your feet up, the dishes can wait til tomorrow.

I've been there and have gone out the door as soon as DH gets home and didn't come back until I got the text that C was asleep. You need a break to recharge and then maybe you guys can talk about your frustrations.

Tell me if I should be annoyed by this.
Josie has dance at 11 for an hour. She has to be at school at 12:30, so I change her out of her leotard and into her school clothes in the car and then I give her a snack and a drink as we drive 20 minutes to school. This year I wrote to her teachers and asked if she could be taken to the bathroom pretty soon after she gets in to school bc she would be eating and drinking in the car and might need a potty break sooner than later. Her teacher wrote back and said that I could take her as soon as I dropped her off. I was trying to avoid bringing Charlie into the bathroom because he's an 18-month-old monster who literally has to touch everything. There are five kids in her class with a teacher and an assistant teacher. I know they typically go to the bathroom before snack and then before they go on the playground, but I would guess if a kid had to go they would deviate from that schedule. Is it irrational for me to think that they should take her?

Then clarified that it's being going on for 3 days so I guess the first day when he said he was coming after her it was active but now it's in lock down until they catch the guy. So it's good that I don't need to be as freaked out. But I don't understand why no one knew until he got there. This happened before when a angry employee threatened someone and they notified everyone in the company.

I got up and ran. When I got home C threw a fit and sobbed for a half an hour that I went running without him and that he "never gets to go on night runs" (it was still dark). I explained to him that I need more practice running to prepare for the race next month so he offered to help me run fast like him. Which was nice but if he starts getting up earlier to catch my run, I will lose my mind! What do you guys pack for lunches? C usually gets a pb sandwich, fruit, cheese, and some goldfish or popcorn. There is a new kid that apparently gets two oreos every day (and never shares, much to C's dismay). In a moment of weakness I got C some oreos at the store last night and packed them. I feel super guilty though because I know then another kid will want them and the whole class will be eating crappy snacks. I'm annoyed (irrationally) that the other kids mom lets him bring cookies to school. Although I know goldfish aren't that much healthier, but they aren't as coveted. Anyway, all that to say do I suck by sending my kid with oreos every now and then? Every now and then? NBD. I don't send them but I don't side-eye it. Dude usually gets his main course (sandwich, nuggets, leftover spaghetti, fried rice, etc), 2 types of fruit and 2 veggies, milk, and one snack like crackers or pretzels. If they are having something I know he can't eat for snack like yogurt then I pack him an alternative.

Where/when did the first person get killed?

wedding, I ran into this not long ago when C told me another kid always gets cookies and he wants them too. I started sending little treats every so often and C gets excited. 2 teddy grahams, 1 candy corn pumpkin, 1 chocolate covered pretzel, a couple fruit snacks, ect. That way he's getting a treat once in awhile but it's not anything crazy. I hesitate to send too much because they nap right after lunch!

guster our school is configured weird, so the teachers all have Walkie talkies and the teachers will open the door and watch them go while they radio to the other teacher that they're heading that way (some classrooms are adjacent to the bathroom). I would think they would take them but they probably just wait until the kids express the need?

Is it irrational for me to think that they should take her? Hmm. I feel indifferent about this. I can see where the teachers are coming from in asking if you could just take her when you get there. Does she need help in the bathroom? Can you just hold C while she goes? I totally know the frustration with this though, L is into the touch everything stage and doesn't want to just be held!

cagoldi and @klongoria, there are two bathrooms in the main hall. An assistant always takes them. I wish I didn't say anything because I'm sure Josie will say she needs to go, and then they'll have to take her, but I was trying to be proactive in the case that she got too excited to see her friends and ignored for need to use the bathroom. We haven't had an accident, yet, but I'm sure that's inevitable at some point. If I end up having to be the one to take her, I might stop changing her out of her leotard in the car and then just do it all at school.

@wine, I can see it from both sides too, but I guess my frustration is that if I didn't say anything they would have taken her. Charlie is firmly in the "you will not hold me" camp, but Josie doesn't need help so I can distract him. If I decide to go the route of changing her into school clothes in the school bathroom, I am very happy to hand him my phone while I get her dressed. Flame away!

Okay, I get why she has to have someone with her, but what's the big deal about taking her whenever she needs to go? Not every kid has to go potty at the scheduled potty times, kwim?

I can't find anything online about it though. But I don't really know what city/town I'm looking for either.
