All of them. We live an ocean away from anyone we are related to.

I guess I'm thinking about when kids finish high school, they are legally adults. After high school they might need another year (gap year) to find themselves, then at university, they need another two years of general education to figure out what they want to do. In graduate school they'll need another two years to "get everyone up to speed." It just seems like a whole lot of mollycoddling to me.

This is one important reason in our choice to hs. I have been chewing on this exact thought over the last year (my kids are very young).
"A lot of kids, when they get out school, are kind of lost," said Jamie Norton, a firefighter in Gridley, Calif. "When you get out of high school, what are you educated to do?" -
I have one of those too. :confused:

Well, first you should move and get settled. I can see how right now everything seems overwhelming.
We are collecting boxes now and the thought of packing is giving me palpitations.
At least you have a place now!

We live abroad and fathers here just take their daughters to the girls bathroom. It hasn't been a big deal for me or anyone else that I've noticed.

Collard greens are best (read not bitter) when there is frost.

Holly, I will add too that I do better by eating more fat and protein and less carbs than the site recommends. When I'm eating 50-60% carbs a day, I feel horrible. For some reason, my body feels better when I get most of my calories from fat and protein. (nota bene: I don't know anything about diets like atkins that I've seen on tv so this isn't coming from that angle).

Holly,
I am very interested in NT and nutrition in general. I don't follow a strict NT plan but more of a whole foods kind of diet. We may be moving soon (haven't heard the final word yet) so I am not doing as much fermenting as I normally would.

How do you keep that up, when you find it to be a big PITA? I find that when I'm logging food, I never want to try a new recipe, because then I have to figure out the calories, fat, etc. :glare:
THere a link there for typing in your recipe ingredients and then you tell it what one serving is and it calculates the calories, fat etc for you.
How cool is that?

Brisket makes the best tacos.

Friendly = low class?

When we move this summer our new neighbors might not see us for two weeks or so because of the jet lag.

My son got one of these for his bday. We thought it was really cool.

what is VBS?
Just curious, thanks.

I've used scent free detergents for many, many years. to me laundry should have no smell.
we all have our preferences but i really do think the detergent industry has sold us a load of nonsense in terms of that 'clean laundry' smell.
I totally agree.

Good luck!
Woo Hoo!

I am up because it's morning time here. :)

I will also add that we went in March and the weather was lovely. Also, there weren't very many American tourists at that time but a lot of tourists from Spain. Great fun!

We went to Rome and spent less than 1000 euros for 5 days (iirc we spent waaay less than 1000). We bought the Roma pass, which I recommend, and we ate a lot of panini on the run.
eta: our airfare and hotel were 1200 euro combined but we flew from within Europe. We are a family of four.

However, I will suggest one other possibility. When my son gets floppy and tearful, it usually means his iron is really low. He suffers from chronic anemia. If this is really a problem with your child, you might just have some bloodwork done. If you do, make sure they test both his ferritin and his hemoglobin, since hemoglobin tells only half the story.
OK, he has been treated for anemia in the past. Hmmmm.... I hadn't thought of that...
-
Also, when kids are going through developmental changes, regardless of whether or not you can identify them, they become more of something. Like more emotional, frustrated more easily, more tired, eating more. More of something, KWIM. How it comes out is related to the personality of the child so the phase is connected.
Okay, so that was my uneducated theory!
OKay, this made sense to me.

I think I'm going to have to let him start doing more things for himself and letting him work through his frustration.
I can't change his outlook on life or his personality, but he at least needs a sense that he can do things by himself. :huh:

OK, I'm in. We've had a bad couple of days and I'm looking to turn it around. :grouphug:
