We have a 4 y/o that is having a really hard time with bedtime lately. 1.5-2 hr bedtime routines, tantrums, etc. It’s draining. Any tips from parents that have seen it and made it through to the other side?

This could be because you are indulging the 4-year old / unintentionally encouraging the behavior. I speak from experience.

My youngest daughter (5-year old) whines for me to come up to her room at night. She gets me to sit with her until she goes to sleep, look in the closet / under the bed for monsters, etc., etc.

When my wife goes up, she says, “None of that, go to bed.” And the whining stops immediately.

You may just be a big softie like me =)

Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)

I would appreciate some info on custodians for an RIA platform. Who are people using and why? Thanks!

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)! The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?
