My normally sweet 7 year old has been a big jerk lately. I read this is another phase! I thought 3 was bad. Any tips on how to get through this? The eye rolls and back-talking are driving me nuts.

What? You still get that with a 7 years old? I'm going through that with my 3.5 years old.

Been there, and circle back there in phases 😩 Hang in there and find ways to connect outside of daily responsibilities, and give yourself a break when kids go to bed 😌

I hate to say this but it comes back again and again.... have a 13 yo and the eye rolling is impressive. I’m told this is the last round though before he full on just stops talking to me.

Over the last three years my mfg company has had a lot of people leave and each time I take on the extra responsibility - from admin, payroll, benefits, compliance, safety, inventory and shipping. I literally do it all. And not only that, but I’ve eliminated and optimized a lot of wasteful processes in order to get it all done. I thought that it would all come with eventual pay increases since it saves the company over 300k in overhead. This whole time I should have been OE. I feel like a fool.

Potty training SOS! Our 2.5 year old was doing so well with potty training (at least for pee) - telling us when she needed to go, sitting on the potty when prompted before leaving the house, basically no accidents after the first ~week - and now she REFUSES to sit on the potty and will hold her pee until her naptime pull up or until she has an accident. She’ll announce she needs to go, refuse the potty, and then a few minutes later she announces she needs new underwear. Any advice??
