I have unexpectedly found myself with the assignment of leading two dozen children, ages 8-11, in a cookie-baking project at a school party this weekend. (I volunteered to help cook. This is not what I had in mind.) The project will involve making and decorating cookie-cutter sugar cookies, to be...

Older Son is packing up in preparation for his move to Big State U. We'll be moving him into his apartment on Saturday. I am not a sentimental sort. But this is way harder than I expected. I'm sure he will be fine. He's a good guy, with a good head on his shoulders, and a real desire to...

So DD gets an unsolicited invitation from People to People Student Ambassadors yesterday to visit Australia next Summer. My cursory websearch of it shows that it's seemingly on the up-and-up, but I thought I'd ask if anyone on mkm had experience with it. I'm unable to find anything on the...

Hi all, This is my first posting here, and I was hoping to get some feedback from other parents regarding montessori schools. I have a 4 y.o. son who has been attending a montessori school since he turned 3. I really like their approach and he very much enjoys going. So, as far as preschool goes,...

I'm afraid that would be me today. Today before going to the bus stop to see DS off to school, I told DD I'm come back and walk her to school. And then after DS got on the bus, I biked into work. When I got in, I looked at the clock, exclaimed to myself at how early I was, and then D'oh! It...

Wow, the DS is 9 today. Alas, tonight is the night I teach ('til 8) and then I'm in a rehearsal so I won't be home 'til long after he's asleep. This weekend he and I go out to eat while DW and DD are out of town. Scheduling does get easier, right? ;) We got him HP and the Chamber of Secrets on...

Abigail (9YO): Ugh, you're not going to eat that stuff, are you? Mark (7YO): Yeah! Abigail: Well then I want some.

Hi, My ex wants to take my girls (9 and 13) to prison to visit her boyfriend. He is in for 1.5 years for multiple DUI's. My ex also has problems with drinking. I am uncomfortable with them going to visit him in prison; but before he was arrested, the girls did grow to like/love him. They had...

Hello: My colleague at the office is really upset these days. She thinks that her 9-year-old boy may have taken something from her neighbor's without permission. She has found the item on their side of the yard. In other words she has not found the item in his possession, so she is not sure if...

I am writing in hopes that I can get some advice. My DD is ten and is sociable and likes having her friends around. She has a few friends, not a lot, but this does not seem to bother her. I always encourage her to invite her friends over, which she does. The thing is that they do not invite her...

DS absolutely is enthralled by the olympics. I love it -- when he asks if he can watch, I can ask "Is your room clean?" No whining, nothing like that, he just cleans his room. I guess I'll enjoy it while it lasts. :) Scott, mean old Dad to DD 11 and DS 8
