I'm not into adult costumes. We are being dog walkers for trick or treating. 😉. I do think family ones are adorable but #lazy

Morning loves
I hope all the kiddos stop vomiting!! No way to start a day!
My sister is getting us an appointment at KU med ENT today to get the paper out of Layla's ear. We have an appointment this afternoon with her PED, but they said they might have to refer her since it's paper and not a solid thing like a bean. I'm hoping to cut out the middle man and just get it out of her dang ear. Luckily my sister works at KU and her best friend works in ENT there. Ey Yi yi child!

wedding You're doing great on your weight loss! How often do you weigh yourself? Daily. I shouldn't but I'm slightly obsessed.
ETA: And thank you:)
Lol, you should weigh yourself once a week. I know it's hard...especially with everything you've gone through to get here. But so many things make our weight fluctuate, daily is hard to get a good result. But yes, I get it...when I feel like I'm doing really good, eating healthy, working out regularly, I'm on the scale a few times a week. :-)

klong11 I hope you find an answer about your arm quickly! That sounds awful! ETA: Just saw your update. I hope you don't have to go back because the pain doesn't go away! Hopefully what she told you to do will help!

I weigh myself daily too. I'm still losing and I like seeing the number go down! Once I start gaining I'll stop because it's not as fun seeing it go up, even for a good reason.

One of the parents of B’s school friends rsvp’d to her party and said they were bringing their 1yo. I’m kinda side eyeing bc - hello, I have to pay per kid and your 1yo wasn’t invited. I will be the ever gracious hostess though and just complain about it here.

I will be the ever gracious hostess though and just complain about it here. That's absurd. I would turn down a party if I couldn't find someone to watch my 1 year old, unless I knew the family well. It's not like it was an infant. However, as an FYI, I asked at the place I'm doing my party and they said I only have to pay for kids old enough to sort of participate. So basically 2 and older. I had my 1 y/o with me, and he specifically said we don't have to pay for kids that young. It might be worth asking if there's a cut off.

We always make sure it’s ok and we always pay if there’s anything extra, and now that they’re older we try to make it work so one parent can’t bring a kid to the party and the other can stay home, but I didn’t worry about it to much when they were little, like under 2. And I think a one year old is still pretty much a baby and possibly breastfeeding so Mom might need to bring them?

I’ve never taken C to a party for one of B’s school friends. jewels, I will mention it to the facility but I think I already know the answer. And I just didn’t feel comfortable telling the parent “your son can come but he can’t participate.”

I will be the ever gracious hostess though and just complain about it here. At the last party we went to, one of Colin's friend's Moms brought the older brother. Like, maybe 8 years old? I have no idea if the Mom asked (she's already RSVP'd to Colin's party and hasn't mentioned anything) but he was easily twice the size of the other kids. It was a bit scary watching him run around and bounce with all the little 4 year olds.

I would pay the host, the venue or whoever I needed to ensure that it wasnt a financial burden. Also, I would even talk to the host to see if B could go it alone and I ensure J was far from the party if it seemed to be of an annoyance.

I'm cool with siblings, if the parents ask. They know how much these parties cost and that there is sometimes a limit.
ETA: and they pay for them.

And I also did mention that I think think that young they wouldn't have to pay either.

It wasn’t meant to come across as an attack on what you said, I agree they need to ask/clear it with the parents.

I do bring B with me to stuff since I mostly solo parent. But I'm very conscious of the fact that it might cost the family, and I would always ask if it was ok. For S party next month, I actually told a handful of parents who I know have other kids that they should bring the siblings. It's definitely the assuming it's ok without asking that I think was wrong.

FTR- in my situation, parent did not ask or offer to pay. They told me their kid was coming (and would be jumping). I don’t mind having an extra kid there and it’ll be like a little friend for C anyways. But like jewels said, it’s a little off putting that the parent assumed it was ok. Hey, and maybe they were even planning to pay for the kid but didn’t feel the need to tell me.

I LOVE Halloween and I LOVE dressing up! You all are no fun Me too, most years. We are going to a party on 11/4 and I’ve almost got everything I need for my costume. DH is going to be anger and I’m going to be disgust from inside out.

I’m on team it’s rude to just assume it’s ok to bring siblings without asking the host. yummeecookee is this at a trampoline park? We brought H to her cousin’s party at sky zone when she was 1ish and she didn’t go near the trampolines.

But this Mom was just wandering around, seemingly clueless. Which fairly or not, made me assume she's also the type to just bring a sibling along without asking. I'm fully copping to being super judgy.

I'm in a pickle with the sibling situation. The party includes 20 kids, after that is $15 extra. We have 19 school friends invited, plus niece and nephew. The party for this weekend says siblings 100% welcome...I didn't put anything, but did include a question of how many kids - and Ive gotten one question asking if the 3 year old (that goes to same school) can come, but totally fine if not. Another asked if their kids cousins can come (in town for holiday) - and I told her that's prob fine since we may have under 20, but if not it's just an extra charge and she offered to pay. I put the kids name on the invite and not family hoping to deter people that have lots of siblings, but who knows. I feel cheap, but $15 per extra kid on top of $400+ adds up quickly. Especially for kids I don't know, but including siblings seems to be the norm in this group, so I'll deal with it. Except for the one brother that is a jerk, please don't let him come!

Hi all.
It's been a slow-ish day at work, but I feel like I have a million other things going on. This week and next will be busy with personal things. I'm battling a cold, and M2 is as well. We just can't kick it. We have his well visit next week, so as long as he is in a good mood, I won't be taking him to the pedi.
