There is an opportunity to add poo to that song in a way that makes sense and rhymes. And that is not it. Why are you disgracing both la vaca lola and toilet humor in this way?


I will be making a schedule. If something doesn’t get done, that’s fine. My goal is to keep a rhythm and keep things moving. I’m not a big planner or schedule follower, so this is a departure for me. If something doesn’t get done in the allotted tome, we’ll move on. And potentially adjust the schedule to what is irl

To start, I want to make the morning routine match what we’re already doing. Then I think i want each day to include some play time, some chore time, and something educational. I want something that will work without a ton of planning tome weekly. So I’ll propose make a list of potential activities that i can refer back to.


Summer Strategy
Is there anything you do that helps summer go smoothly or feel happier and calmer?

Do you have a “village”?
How did you find each other? Do you think it makes parenting better? What keeps you together?

My kid is school aged and has been a real champ about following the schedule. But they have been obviously exhausted. Getting up this morning was tough I told them they should go to bed early. And they did. Just past 6pm. This kid never wants to go to bed. Real tired one right there.


All of that is great. Thanks. For us there is interest in outdoors and camping. And an interest in japanese animation - thanks studio ghibli! Definitely natural links there for us. And even if there wasn’t I bet someone out there would see something of interest.


Honestly, I’d like applicable material for kids of various ages.


Media featuring friendships
Do folks have recommendations for kids movies, shows, or books that focus on characters friendships? Recently I picked up the book “the princess bride.” My kid noticed and said she recognized the title. And saw the movie. But she didn’t like it because there was too much fighting. I asked for an example of a good movie. “K-pop demon hunter” was the answer. Because Friendship.

Kielbasa and cheese sounds filling if they’ll eat it. It’s so difficult to get a good balance of fast/healthy/will get eaten/affordable.

At my kid’s school they do a “share table” so if other kids don’t eat an item from lunch, they can put it in the share table. There’s always apples, oranges, sometimes crackers. It’s relieving to know there’s something available for a snack if whatever I sent struck out.


My kid loves the fruit and veggies. The problem is by the time everyone gets seated they hardly have any time to eat. I’ll slice the orange or the apple to help speed things up. TBH it’s hard to get the balance right on foods that are fast to prep and will be eaten in the time alotted. But my kid always gets a fruit and usually a vegetable too.

We used to pack yogurt but it kept coming back. Idk whether it was a phase thing or it took too long to eat. Or the kid had the “wrong” brand and got teased. I don’t really get much info when I ask why yogurt fell out of favor. But I did get the inside info that school served trix flavored yogurt and it’s too sweet and it is gross. So I guess it’s good the kid didn’t get my sweet tooth.

Other than that the kid always wants plain deli meat on bread. Maybe with a slice of cheese. I’m not a big fan of the deli meat tbh. But it’s fast to prep l, the kid likes it, and it can be eaten in the alotted time so till we come up with a better agree, that’s the menu.
