Need some advice here fellow dads. We live in Manhattan, but own a car to visit family and take day trips out of the city. When my now 3.5 year old was a little over a year, he started getting carsick. He’s much better about that now (and thankfully he can aim his puke into a Tupperware), but his anxiety about this is through the roof. It seems like every time we talk about getting into a car he works himself up that he makes himself vomit just from the nerves. Any advice?

One of my kids gets car sick if they are looking down reading or on a tablet. So we restrict those or constantly remind him to hold them up high.
Kids Dramamine is the best
And the blue hospital barf bags are always in our car. They’re like a tube sock so you can roll the opening to close it.

Daughter started getting carsick on any trip over 20 minutes at age 3. She’s 5 now, so it’s gotten better, but for any long car trips I’m always prepared. Here’s advice:
1) get kids Dramamine. I bought the entire aisle of it at target for a few years stockpile. With age/weight use lower doses to not get the sleepy side effect.
2) make sure they’re sitting behind you (placement helps for some odd reason)
3) get doggy bags for as they get older they can take care of it on they’re own. Think hospital style vomit bags. I keep them in the car door pocket for her in reach. Tupperware is a way, but it won’t stop the smell and harder to clean as not disposable.
4) check on them often, “how are you feeling? Let me know if you feel funny.”
5) Routes help - more windy roads or sporadic driving definitely adds to it.
6) just in case it gets really bad, I keep a change of her clothes in the car and a pack of baby wipes and hand sanitizer.
Hope some of that helps.

That’s def a new one. Mini freak outs on car rides but no vomit.

Try shorter trips to build up his stamina? Eg drive around the block? Just an idea

Everyone who I want to like me or to hangout with doesn’t respond to my texts or tells me they are too busy. This weekend I reached out to 12 people to see if they wanted to grab coffee or a drink or go for a walk. The number of people who just didn’t respond astounded me. I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

The only people who reach out to me, I don’t want to hangout with. I don’t have the same interests as them and have to try really hard… cont below

I don’t want to stop living a double life. I’m a 29yo bi guy living in a liberal city and I’ve dated a guy(29m) for 5 years. I fly back to my conservative small town and pretend I’m straight for my parents (and extended family) because I don’t want to disappoint them or cause them any pain. I love them and I love my bf, and I want to keep both aspects of my life as they are today. My bf wants to meet my parents but I really don’t want to bring that drama into my life

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak. However, I’ve seen her response and mannerisms change (positively) in the presence of parents and siblings which leads me to believe that she is cognizant enough to possible use a communication device. However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?
