My son said he wanted to go to the hospital with my wife because he thought I’d tell him not to if he cried. For the record I wouldn’t do that but I’m wondering what might be creating that impression. Anyone have good ideas on how to create an open discussion with a 9 year old to understand his perspective?

Why are we going to the hospital at all? Assume new baby?

The context was that he hurt himself and needed stitches so needed to go to the emergency room but not life threatening level problem.

My thinking is that somehow I am giving him the impression I would be tough on him in areas I wouldn’t and trying to think how to bridge the gap.

In all Quiet on the Western Front all the soldiers are screaming for their mothers at some point… there’s a very good chance he just picks mom Bc that’s just the go to for these things, he might have made a comment but it could just be he didn’t want to say I just want mom just Bc… make sense?

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

My brother is going through some really intense chemo so him and his wife are often recovering at their house for a week without going out.

Since they can’t take any visitors I would love to send them some sort of at home activity kit (wine tasting or anything!) to keep them busy during these lockdown weeks.

Please share any suggestions you have below! No limits in terms of activity or budget. I have about 8-9 weeks that I plans to cover.

Thank you!
