phone privileges...what would/do you do?
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to kfeusse's topic in The Chat Board
My 18 year old, as long as he is monitoring data use and not doing anything illegal, has free rein with his phone. The 16 year old is still under the “I can check your phone at anytime” plan. I don’t really, but it’s an option if I have concerns. -

PinkyandtheBrains. replied to kfeusse's topic in The Chat Board
My phone is my alarm clock, my radio, my audiobook listening device, my flashlight, and more. Of course it’s in my room. Smart phones come with timers, sleep modes, do not disturb settings and more. You just have to learn how to use it as an asset instead of a liability. Heck it even is set up to turn my bedroom lights on and off so I can stay in my warm bed and turn them off. 🤷♀️- 24 replies

Choosing a mattress size for 10 year old?

Oh and we have two people at around 5’10 sleeping on standard full size with no issue. -
Choosing a mattress size for 10 year old?
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to PeterPan's topic in The Chat Board
Our first one is about 3 years old, and still in excellent condition. We rotate and flip often, just to make sure there is even wear. We use waterproof washable mattress pads on all of them. I don’t remember the brand but I ordered them online as well. They aren’t plasticy, no crinkle noise like some waterproof options. -

PinkyandtheBrains. replied to PeterPan's topic in The Chat Board
I’d get a standard full size mattress, and a waterproof mattress pad. We happen to like Zinus, we ordered from amazon. We started with one and have been slowly replacing all our mattresses with these styles. -
AcneFree face wash- has low percent of benzoyl peroxide. We buy it at local pharmacy or target. Any brand is fine, this brand has the low benzoyl peroxide. 2.5% benzoyl peroxide acne spot treatment -any brand you just want the low percent. Wash face consistently, especially before bed. Change pillow cases often. Be gentle with acne prone skin, it’s sensitive.

I voted gray area, but I personally have no issue with it. -
Tricky situation - how to handle?
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to Home'scool's topic in The Chat Board
Good on your daughter! You may not stop bigotry calling it out, but maybe they'll crawl back under their rock if they know it's not acceptable. -
I was going to suggest an Asus Chrimebook Flip. It fits your price range. However, I don’t think you can play Roblox on a chrome book. We bought an Asus Chromebook Flip for traveling. It’s an amazing little computer. My teen used it for his online classes while we were traveling, and several games he likes that were available for Chromebooks. It’s definitely not a gaming computer but we were very impressed with it for web browsing, online classes, watching tv/movies, and the games that were available. I am normally a Mac person, so this was a pleasant by surprise.

You can contact FB, provide as many details about the thread as possible. If you are planning to report to law enforcement then they may help you out. -
Introducing our granddaughter, Emma Claire

Beautiful! -
I am fine with the Carter Blanche “Violence against children is always wrong”. Full stop. Especially by those in positions of authority. Higher standard folks. Does that mean it might not be used if a 10 year old is about to actually shoot someone? No. But coming from a place of “Violence is wrong, find another way”, encourages other solutions. Currently violent options are becoming the first strategy. Shoplifting does not warrant violence. “Little Johnny ran away after stealing a piece of candy TASE HIM!!!!” Really? That’s who we want to be?

Good OTC treatment for moderate teenage acne?

Yeah a whole set of towels was ruined, next set was the kind that won’t bleach out from it. -
Good OTC treatment for moderate teenage acne?
PinkyandtheBrains. replied to Garga's topic in The Chat Board
Things they helped my boys: Shower daily Clean pillow cases often Wash twice a day with Acne Free cleanser (its 2.5% benzoyl peroxide) Use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide spot treatment Stridex Pads (alcohol free, salacylic acid treatment) Sulfur face mask Cereve moisturizer, or some light moisturizer. Even if oily skin. We may be adding in dfferin soon for one of my teens. Acne skin is also sensitive irritated skin, so we don’t use the harsher options. Brand doesn’t matter, ingredients do. They most significant results came from consistent washing and clean pillow cases. -
