4on Five sentences about her aaji for class 2 homework, and sentence four was about me
Our 4 year old isn't writing yet but she reports verbally at preschool. Her teacher knows what we had for dinner most nights 🤷
3on She's 9, has packed three bags of toys to give away, and I'm the sad one
hiding works until they find the box at the wrong moment 🤷 we let our older one pick 3 to keep and she's never asked about the rest
3on Rounding off in maths this week. Now everything at home is 'approximately'
Our teenager's version is "basically". Basically done, basically clean. Basically nothing is ever done 🤷
2on Six months, four night feeds, and everyone says a spoon of rice cereal at bedtime will fix it
Two kids, two answers 🤷♂️ The elder started sleeping through around when she started food. The younger didn't sleep through till well after one, same food routine. I don't think the food did either thing.
1on Bhanodaya is a five-minute walk from us. Does the board matter for LKG?
Our younger one is 3 and we're weighing the same thing this year, leaning towards closer. The elder did a long bus ride in primary and I still remember how tired she was by Thursday.
0on Son is in his IB final year and wants a gap year before college
ib results come out in july. if he applies during the gap year he isn't losing much except a year of age 🤷 i'd worry less about colleges and more about him drifting
2on 11 year old wants to grow his hair long. The school wants it above the collar
Our older one went to war over the earrings rule. Now the 3 yr old wants to have 'rule fights' too. No idea what she thinks they are.
1on IB to CBSE for class 11 at Vikas The Concept School next year. How do joiners cope?
We're stuck on the same thing at home, DP or CBSE for 11. Nothing decided. Keen to read what others say 🤷
2on Teacher moved my class 2 daughter to the front bench. She's sure it's a punishment
Could just be height or eyesight. They shuffle seats for all sorts of reasons. Our elder one got moved up front in class 3 and it turned out the teacher had noticed her squinting before we did. Glasses a month later.
2on First-year baby budget spreadsheet: which costs did I miss?
Ask HR early. Also the second year costs more than the first and nobody warns you. Playschool, new shoes every three months, birthday gifts for other people's kids 🤷
3on Class 7 books have a QR code on every chapter, and now he 'needs the phone' for homework
old phone, wifi only, no apps except a browser with the school site bookmarked. our elder one hated it for two weeks and then forgot about it
0on A colleague moving to LB Nagar asked me about Krishnaveni Talent School for his daughter's class 1
We visited the LB Nagar campus years ago when our elder daughter was small, didn't end up joining, so I can't speak to the classes. Office staff were patient with our questions. That's all I've got, it's been a while.
1on Back at work next month. How big a stash of expressed milk did you really need?
We froze far more than we used. Half of it got thrown out in the end 🤷 After the first couple of weeks my partner expressed at work and that covered most days.
1on Back on the on-call rota in July with a baby who still wakes at night
Different job but we had release nights when our younger one was a baby. the parent left at home just has to accept a bad night and a slow morning. what helped us was a rule that whoever might get the call tomorrow gets the full night's sleep tonight. does your partner's court schedule come out in advance?
A colleague's son had this last year. Printed the DigiLocker copy, the college stamped it, done. Another college wanted the school to attest the printout. Depends who's at the desk.
3on I handle everything for our son's school, yet every call still goes to my partner
Same pattern with us for years, the school kept calling my partner because that number was on the very first form. We gave up and set call forwarding on my partner's phone for court hours 🤷 Not elegant. Works.
0on reliance grammar high school in falaknuma. do they take class 4 joiners in june
Haven't come across this one. Nanakramguda to Falaknuma every morning though? That's a long ride for a 9 year old, unless the family is shifting that side.
