4yo has started to get out of bed and run out the room after we put her down for fun. No change in pre-bed routine, I don’t want to stay in her room until she’s asleep if I can avoid it and locking...

My $0.02: Look at her going to bed as “the start of her rest period”. It’s not about her going straight into REM sleep, so make it clear if her body isn’t quite tired yet, she can play in her room for a little bit, but since it’s bed time she isn’t allowed to come out.
This combined with a slightly later bedtime meant our son was able to rationalise even if he didn’t feel immediately ready to sleep, it was time to be alone and quiet - which 9/10 times results in sleep.

I have my 4yo close her eyes and I count back from 30 to 0 until my voice is a whisper.

I also will put a timer on for 15 min so my daughter can adjust and play in bed. I return and kill the lights. I return in 15 and whisper she needs rest

Her in feels a bit much. Anyone else deal with this before or has suggestions on what to do?

Give them a toy to cling on to and lock door for a couple of days. They will get used to.

Husband is a multi sport coach and gone a lot in season, I work in corp banking. Thinking about getting a travel trailer since I camp alone with the kids a lot in the summer, spring and fall for quick weekends. Does anybody do this where you take, maybe 1 day, to create multiple 3 day weekends scattered throughout the year for little trips instead of taking vaca in longer stints? Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

I’m hosting family from America in my home in Europe this week. Being away for just a couple of years has made me really aware of American tendencies. They’re fat and literally are only always thinking of their next meal. We can eat, and they want to talk about dinner. They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
