I think it's the location of the bathroom. She'd have to walk past the main door. 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? That was my thought. And I know that they would take her outside of the scheduled times if she has to go. So I don't know why this is an issue. I'm kicking myself for asking.

guster At B's new preschool the bathrooms for 3s and 4s are off the main hallway, not in each individual classroom like our school back home. So they ask all the parents to stop at the bathroom before school starts for hand washing and one last potty trip. I get your frustration b/c I have C either in the stroller or on my hip, but that's policy so I just suck it up. So I would probably say to do the same, haha. Sorry, that's probably not helpful. I'd probably just do what you suggested and change her at school in the bathroom. wedding I am not worried about other kids' lunches. IMO now's as good a time as any to learn that some families allow certain things that ours may not. Oh well. #meanmom With that said, I'll send a treat occasionally but it's not an everyday thing. B usually gets a sandwich (no PB or nut products this year...waaah!), fruit or veggie, salty/crunchy item, and either a cheese stick or "dessert" (a few Teddy Grahams, a granola bar, etc.)

Morning I had to turn my heat on this morning. I'm just trying to wrap my head around that before I start my day. We've had a few nights were it got into the 40s already. H got up one morning last week and turned the heat on. He left and went out of town for the night, failing to tell me he had turned the heat on, and AC off, until he got home the next day and it was over 80 in the house. No wonder it was so hot the night before...I just blamed it on the bottle of wine I drank!

Morning! DH is off today and tomorrow--he's headed out on his fishing trip this afternoon--so he's about to take B out for errands and lunch. C is napping so I'm going to grab a shower. We have a playdate this afternoon with our friends. About to enter survival mode for the next 72 hours

Thank you! That baby is cute. She's similar coloring to my niece as well (not that she can't have dolls with different coloring then her).

So, I will absolutely take her to the bathroom when we get there, but it just feels like a strange inconsistency to me. I figured out that it's not a lack of communication that I have trouble with with the school -- it's little inconsistencies like this that get to me.

All the lunch talk makes me glad I don't have to deal with it. Although I wish the dc provided better lunches.

Morning. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. This whole waking Colin up in the MOTN isn't doing anything but making us exhausted and I really don't want to put him in underwear for a (disastrous) week because then what? He's not there yet and DH is being a butt about it. He's been pissing me off left and right though. I swear he forgets that Colin is still only 3, he expects him to behave far more rationally than is possible. Then as I was pulling out of the garage, I bent the driver's side mirror the wrong direction thanks to the garbage bin being wedged between the car and the wall. DH was standing right there, waiting to put the bin where it normally goes, and he got so damn pissy. And that was after he had already snapped at me about something else. I know he's stressed out with work right now and I know I'll get over it, but it's really hard to like him right now. And he works from home and never does anything, so he's ALWAYS there - I have zero space. I probably sound like such a jerk but I'm tired and stressed too, I don't need his shit. So yeah, happy Thursday.

joelies remind me why you guys are waking him up MOTN? This is some kind of PT attempt, right? Sorry your day is off to a rough start. I'm annoyed with your H by just reading that.

wineallthetime, Cass' toy stroller is one of her favorite toys. She tears through the house with that thing and has even slept with it. I would go with the one from Amazon because it looks more authentic.

I don't understand. How did the shooter kill someone three days ago and isn't in jail?

joelies M still wears a pullup to bed. I do not want to wake her up to pee in the MOTN. I'm probably breezy about night time training though.

joelies, I'm sorry. Could you go back to diapers at night and wait awhile to try night training again when he seems a bit more ready?

C is night trained because he refused diapers at night and did fine without. However, I also wouldn't wake him. I like sleep too much! I'm pretty easy breezy about it too.

All the lunch talk makes me glad I don't have to deal with it. Although I wish the dc provided better lunches. What kinds of things do they provide? They seem to like to give grilled cheese w/tomato soup a lot, lots of pasta with marinara. Cadence used to like it, but they've had it so often she now refuses it. Sometimes they have it on both Friday AND Monday, which makes me wonder if Monday is really just leftovers. One day they had beans. Like, a plate of beans. Idk. Parents probably complained that day because they haven't done it again. There is usually a fruit and a veggie with each meal, usually carrots or green beans. One day I watched as all the kids lined up their green beans on the table. Apparently they were burnt. In order to bring your lunch you have to have a dr. note. I would look into getting one, but Cadence clearly isn't hurting in the food department. If I see she starts refusing more and more, then I'll get a note and let her take lunch on the days I know she won't eat.

klong11 does he know what a growth spurt is?! I told him, you can't stop growth spurts. He said, "sure you can. Coffee, weightlifting..." I think he meant steroids, not weightlifting. So maybe he was joking....idk.

joelies and slenle I'm sorry you're having husband problems. I've been there and it sucks. I kind of can't wait until my husband goes back to work because I'm annoyed at how little he does around the house and think it will be less annoying when he was the excuse of being at work during the day. He sometimes really pisses me off with the "I never did that as a kid..." comments and unrealistic expectations for behavior at their age. Especially since I know he was far from a saint and was frankly an awful kid from middle school on. I hope a frank talk with them lends to some improvement.

Cass was really upset after preschool the other day because "I've been going to preschool for a while (3 days) and I still haven't met who I'm going to marry."

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? This is where I'm at. At this age they speak up when they need to go. And I know you mentioned that she hasn't had an accident yet guster but that doesn't mean she will. B has had one accident, day 2 of being potty trained at daycare, so I dont think that it's inevitable that it will happen.

Yeah, it was a suggestion made to "train" a heavy sleeper to start waking up on his own. Except all it's doing is training US, he's not getting up on his own at all. tgrimes - I WANT to be breezy about night training because honestly, I think he'll get it when he's ready. DH is being a stubborn butt about it, which makes me even madder because he's never bothered actually talking to the pediatrician or doing research. He just keeps circling back to "I was potty trained at 2!". This is not a damn competition.
