So...my 3 year old won’t wear clothes. Like none at all. And is suddenly against leaving the house. Is this normal? Tips or advice? I’m dying here.

Yep. Totally normal. Three year olds are jerks. Bribery sometimes works, coaxing sometimes works. Sometimes I can tickle my daughter into a more cooperative mood.

This will be hilarious one day. Remember it! Leave the house without ‘em. They’ll catch on. Most importantly: hang in there!!

Sounds like my husband... 😶

But yes, regression is really common given the current circumstances. Is he/she talking about being afraid at all? Could explain the issue with leaving the house. My 4 y/o had a fair amount of wee accidents in the beginning of lockdown, and is being extraordinarily clingy. I think this whole thing is harder on kids than we realise - they pick up on so much.

Like all other things with kids, this too shall pass. x

A thousand percent normal. Aw! And sooo cute.

My 3 yo is also a jerk. She is very defiant and the more we want her to do things the more she pushes back. It’s a power play. I have to remind my husband not to sink to her level but be a voice or authority. Trickery (redirecting) and bribery (if you want x you gotta do y) works. And then extreme positive reinforcement when they do behave. Otherwise we are doing 1-2-3 method and sending to quiet time or taking things away related to the incident. She’s getting better but still a terror

My 4 year old hates leaving the house too! It’s mostly a power play with an extra dose of covid confusion on top of it. We terry to set expectations and clearly set out “what’s happening next” when we plan to leave the house/return. Really helps set expectations for him so he feels a little more comfortable.

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont
