You sound nuts. That's what you think motivates people to reach out to other incoming K families during the summer?? For everyone I know it's about easing the transition for their dc.

Anderson parent here. The school sends out a directory of the kids in the grade. You won't get your class assignment until closer to the start of school (mostly so you don't lose the entry card) and because they take time over the summer to try to balance the classes in all the ways you'd want them to try to do (more difficult this year because they only met some of the incoming class at orientation and not for very long). It's good for your child to know kids from both classes. They'll see one another at recess and you can arrange playdates and/or after school classes together (or transportation) regardless of which class your child is in. [ Reply | More

We've caught her in some lies, too. She seems incredibly moody, super happy one day and down in the dumps the next. She completely ran out of money and almost lost the house she managed to buy with her inheritance (if it weren't for the fact that we and another friend lent her money to get by). Her mother died almost two years ago and I know it was very tough on her, but it seems that she is really coming undone and I don't know if it's because of the loss of her mom or some other problems. She's estranged from her other family members and it seems that we are her only friends and we just don't know what else to do for her. We even hired her to help out with our small business, but she's been quite difficult to work for, shows up late, moody, etc. Any insights?

dad doesn't ever have an opinion and always has good advice that he sometimes doesn't follow. But other than that, he is good. I just wish he had more of an opinion about EVERYTHING [ Reply | More

ooooh - mine is good at that too! She actually managed to convince my dh that I hated her AND - get this - her UNBORN child! DH confronted me (she told him I said something to him) at which point I told him he was crazy, misinformed, and I was really hurt to think that he could think I was capable of hating anyone, especially a baby. He got REALLY mad at his sister after that! [ Reply | More

OMG! sounds exactly like my situation. Pretty much LIES! and SIL lies to try and get het brothers attention and make him mad at ME over nothing... and he has caught on and is now PISSED at her for ever starting something between us. DH and I are best friends and tell eachother anything... He got mad at me and realized that he can NEVER do that again. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I know Im missing something so obvious. Want to buy one of those animal humidifiers. UES or midtown east. someone suggested BB&B which was great, but they said they didnt have them. Ill check Walgreens, but its close to my house, so i'll check there last. Anyone else have a suggestion? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

ditto. but its nice to have someone be genuinely happy. if you are, say so and leave it at that. I find myself apologizing for our good luck, and feel generally awkward about it. [ Reply | More

No, I don't think so - go by your pediatrician. My pediatrician told me too and dd still uses a bottle so I kind of want to go anyway. But the family in my building took their dd for the first time when she was three. [ Reply | More
