Anyone having behavior issues with their 8 year old? I’m reassured by my googling that it’s “normal” but my gosh. The whining, the lying, the throwing things, the talking back, the yelling NO, the kicking and hitting Cot. We have nothing left to take away. This is life now. We've had some behavior issues. But hers are mostly screaming and storming off. And saying mean things to her sister. So fun

Google Adrenarche, it’s basically a pre-puberty hormonal surge around age 7/8. I found it because it started for us around 7. We get a bunch of talking back, yelling, and crying.

And it's coming on just in time for my kids to spend the next 3 months together.

I thought we were finally out of the weepy phase but it seems to be coming back though not as bad as the first go around. I feel like I’m just seeing a ton of anger towards his brother now. Although sometimes I don’t blame him, DS2 is a pain in the ass.

Has anyone been to Hershey park lately? How many days do you need to go for? Is it good for age 2?

Has anyone been to Hershey park lately? How many days do you need to go for? Is it good for age 2? We went in November. We stayed in the area for a long weekend but only did the park one day. The hotel we were at had an indoor pool so we did that and explored the rest of the area the other days.

Onion and Boogle are going back home to my friend tomorrow. Their son really misses his kitties, and they have a room in their barn that they have ready for them. The girls (and I) are feeling sad about it, but I reminded them that aren't our cats, and were always going to go back to their real home. I also reminded them that this means that as soon as the new carpet is in upstairs we will adopt another cat that we will get to keep.
Still no word on when the new carpet will go in. The guy at the store is having trouble finding someone that will come one day to uninstall the carpet and then come the next day or a couple of days later to do the install. I need the time in-between to be able to paint the sub floor. No one wants to waste the fuel to come out here multiple times in a week, which I understand.

Whoa - weird - nobody else posted here yesterday either! I hope everyone was busy having a good Mother's Day and for some of us, celebrating birthdays of those now 8-year-olds who brought us together in the first place!
Still grateful to have this moms' community with all of you. ❤

Good luck with the carpet, rainbowsockmonkey! Could you tear it out so that they only make one trip out, to take the debris and install the new carpet?

One of my parents dogs just died today. He was 16 and his littermate/brother died this past year. I remember him as a tiny baby and young dog. His brother had a peaceful death. Ty seized and cried and they had to rush him to the vet. My heart hurts. I got to see him when I made it home last month. I’m so glad I did because I knew it would be the last time.

We have to paint our house and get a new driveway. My parents also have to paint their house so I’m hoping we can get a discount we waited until we couldn’t anymore and DH cannot risk getting on a ladder. So far they quoted us $7400 and $6300 and 6k and $6300 for my parents. My parent house is actual paint and bigger than our house but all one level except 1 side. Our house is stain so they wash it and stain and paint 2 decks. They told us we need monster primer for the decks which is $80 a can. Do these seem to expensive? Here are paint choices. We would not do the yellow, our decks are the color of the trim.

Us tearing out the carpet was our original plan. Then we did my sewing room, and had a he'll of a time getting the old carpet down the stairs, and decided having someone else do it is easier. It will happen eventually.

I know several of you went through this back in the fall or winter, and I'm sorry you had to (and it's ok if you laugh at me now; you earned it) but I just have to say that living in the part (or one of the top few parts) of the country that currently has the highest covid rates, with public and school precautions all off, is super stressful and maddening!! Especially since there's still no vaccine for under-5s and isn't going to be soon enough.

Especially since there's still no vaccine for under-5s and isn't going to be soon enough. I’m sorry it’s awful. My dad has to wear an N95 and a surgical mask over it just to go for a walk. The principals at the kids school keep sending out emails spanking that parents for sending sick kids to school. Dd has 2 in her class right now and 9 in her grade. And Ds1 has 2 in his class and a kid came to Hebrew school w covid Sunday so that was fun. Heaven forbid we go back to masking.

We would not do the yellow, our decks are the color of the trim. Let me make you feel better about these numbers. We are having our house and garage painted. We have lead paint under the current paint so a little extra for that but really not much. Quote 1: $24k Quote 2: $20k Quote 3: 18k Quote 4: $20k but only if we replace siding on one whole side of our house which would cost $14k We went with #3 because we really liked the guy and he seemed the most honest of the bunch. And most affordable. He said we just needed some siding repairs no a full re side. I checked with my friends and family and they all had the same experience and numbers. Mind blowing my expensive.

We’re using our home equity line of credit but due to the ridiculously high costs of EVERYTHING we are only doing the needs and waiting on wants. That means my 1962 kitchen lives for a while longer. Lol sob.

Carpet starts tomorrow! He called and said he found someone that can come out tomorrow. Now I have to get it all cleaned up upstairs. Today I built a stand for a planter im going to put some strawberry plants in. All the wood is leftover from the deck project last year. And on Friday i went to my parents for thr night since I had a seat check on Saturday. I was walking from my car to their house and stepped on an uneven part where their driveway/front walk and grass meet and fell. Its the same ankle as last year. I think I just stretched something because its nowhere near as bad (no bruising or swelling) and I can stand on just the one foot. I'm wrapping, resting and icing it, and in a few days I'll start my exercises that PT gave me last year.
