Slache Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Susan did invite us to spend the night. We are never doing that again! I think it was 17 hours before we got there? Just no.

JoJosMom Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Jo went off by herself and found a white dress shirt she liked. It’s lovely and fits well. So I asked her how much it cost. Blank look. I look at the tag. (Note:she’s in Nordstrom) “It’s kinda pricey, Boo.” Uh-oh look. “How much?” “Guess.” ”$50?” ”Try $300.” They’re doing CPR now. (She’ll recover.

73349 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 DS has nobody to get hand-me-downs from. For the only child, there's consignment. 🙂 Or there was at least until he got to size 8 or so. Our current dilemma is finding shirts that are tall/long in sizes smaller than men's medium. Dude is underweight (9th percentile BMI, we're working on it), so pants slip down and then shirts are too short. Link me if you have a lead. EDPO: Math Mammoth is a winner here & will be used again next year. /EDPO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they wore holes in their pants before outgrowing them, so didn't even give them to each other later. DD got tons of hand me downs and when she or I wanted something specific, we ordered from eBay or bought from consignment shops or clearance sales. At one point we were passing clothes to my stepsister's DD, then that child passed up DD in size and they started handing down to us. Ds12 hasn't had many hand me downs at all, just because no one around to hand down. Consignment shop and thrift store clothes are just hand me downs that you pay for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I'm behind on posting. I have to admit I skipped a few pages. We used Math Mammoth through 6th grade for ds (the newer version that went through 7th wasn't available when we bought it) and through 4th for dd. I liked it a lot. Dd has adhd and the busy pages in the higher grades didn't work well for her. I used to add Evan Moor Daily Math Practice for some spiral review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense both women had two children with them, a late teen/early twenty and a toddler. It honestly seemed at the time that the toddlers belonged to the teen (I’m in the land of teen pregnancies, at least it so seems when I go to the OB/GYN). But, yeah, toddler is far cry from thirteen. I’m sorry, Jean. DC and I visited DH at work once and one of his coworkers later remarked how nice it was to meet his grandchildren. He and I still can’t figure out who she thought I was. All the way through my 20’s people thought that I was much younger than I was. But chronic pain makes me tottery. And I don’t dye my hair or even wear makeup due to the chemicals. So there ya go. At least the kids at the Y dubbed me the “cool grandma”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
