Anyone using Prodigy, IXL, or other online programs? We are using iready in our district as a diagnostic but the lessons seem to be boring for the kids.

What do you think the total cost of a child is from 0-18 + college if they are interested. Just did the math in my head and am kinda shocked by the price tag. I want to give my child the best and more than what I had (private school and college paid for). Curious how others budget / plan for a child and what that total number might be

Mothers of strong willed children - any book recommendations for learning how to manage and not completely break their spirit. My 8 yr old may kill me. She’ll probably be a CEO if I don’t lose my shit first.

I’m on leave (16 weeks) but my wife just quit her job and doesn’t plan on working anymore. I think I have to go back to work. Depressed because I don’t want to sacrifice this time with my child...

Watching the game, lesson planning, or both? Can you do both??? It's too distracting for me...

Any tips for note taking? My biggest struggle is retaining information communicated verbally. To compound the issue, I’m a millennial and was never taught note taking, short hand, or cursive (outside a week long lesson to write our names) in school. It takes me forever to write out notes and while I’m writing I miss everything that’s being said. I have no problem putting in the work to learn techniques but can’t find helpful resources.

Ive always had success w the opposite sex and think Id be a great parent. But I believe my mothers views of my girlfriends have made me less committal because no lady satisfies her. She goes out of her way to criticize the kindest of my LTRs.

My mom is strict religious (almost amish). She infers shes prefers my fooling around into perpetuity as long as i dont surface w a heathen gf. All optics. I realize my last decade of promiscuity has hurt me.
Anyone else have a fundamentalist parent?

My friend told me he took a kid out on a date when he was 18 and the boy was 13. Now he wants to reach out to the kid again cuz he’s of age now. Is this not creepy af? What should I do? I’m thinking block him on everything and report him.

Is it just me or are relationships just really hard when we work in big 4? My BF and I keep fighting and we never spend time w each other

Husband and I want to try couple therapy. How do we even approach this?

We are doing ok. 5 yrs in wed lock with a lovely 18 month old. However, we feel like we are drifting without purpose. My husband says his confidence level deminished since he got married (arranged marriage, Indians)

We feel we can do 'great' not just ok. Can use a coach. Cant get family involved.

When designing your remote lessons, how do you make learning still happen with your content area, due to the distance?

We have hired a nanny for the first time for our 10 month old. While our baby plays with her for some time, he cries when she tries to put him down for nap or changes diaper. Today was day 2 and she seems to be at her wit’s end. I didn’t expect a smooth transition but then I don’t see anything improving even a bit. Nor do I see her trying different approaches to keep him engaged. What did your nanny/you do to help the baby get comfortable with nanny in the starting days?

So today I got played. I went against my better Judgment and tried to be a nice guy and it blew up in my face.
I’m more pissed than anything. Lesson learned. Anyone else experience this?

What kind of lesson plan forms do you use?

Would anyone recommend a good place for indoor tennis lessons? Thanks 😊

How to get back to feeling like yourself after baby? Im a FTM & baby is about 3 months. I just feel like a shell of my former self. I spend all day making sure he’s eating / sleeping / playing until I’m exhausted. Husband is wonderful but back to work at a demanding job. I don’t even know how to start feeling like myself again. What worked for you? I love my baby but I don’t want this to be my entire identity.

Need help figuring out how to manage a VERY hyper dog during this WFH period. This is getting challenging

Typical crazy time on project. Working everyday. How are folks keeping work/life balance to make sure there is time for family and the rest of your life? Feel like projects are setup to give as few resources as possible and make us work excessive hours for small pay raises and bonuses. Don’t want to use up all my good working years. Especially with aging in-laws/parents, teenage children to set a positive example for and a spouse that needs and deserves time. Looking for any valuable insights!
