Same. My kid only has one grandparent left and he lives 1500 miles away. Most other remaining family also lives 100 miles away in a different city. We have some friends but none of them have kids. It’s hard sometimes.


Thanks, that’s the first I ever heared about at home euthanasia. I’ll have a look!


She has a tumor the size of an egg on her throat. It’s growing and will press on her windpipe more and more. I don’t want her to suffer. Slowly suffocating is a terrible way to go.


Thank you. Some kind of griefing ceremony sounds like a great idea!


Ohh, that book is a great suggestion! I’m going to look for it in our library.


What to do with 4yo when we put down the cat?
I have a 14 year old Maine Coon that is terminally ill and has a few weeks at best. Our son recently turned 4 years old and loves animals. We taught him to be kind to all animals, even bugs. He is not particularly attached to the cat, but he likes it well enough (the cat is not a cuddler). In a few weeks we'll have to go to the vet and have the cat put down. We're wondering how we should approach this with our son. Do we take him with us? Do we let him be present when the cat is put to sleep? Or make him stay in the waiting area? Or do we go when he's in school? What's appropriate for a 4 year old? On the one hand I think that death is a part of life. And I don't mind that he sees us crying over the cat. But I also don't want to traumatize him or make it bigger than it is. Any tips?

Me neither. The worst thing my 4yo said to me was that I couldn’t come to his birthday party anymore.



My kid has been going to daycare 3 days a week since he was 4 months old and we had to get back to work. There was no need to get him used to it. We just brought him. Mum had a harder time adjusting than he did 😄


The one with Chili’s sister who can’t have kids is a rough one. I did not expect that from a children’s cartoon.



Bluey is awesome. The rest of the things my kid watches are very meh though. Any suggestions for other great series like Bluey?
