0on Son wants commerce with maths in class 11, and I can't tell him where it leads
doctor here too. the pull towards biology is real, my parents still ask why my son isn't 'preparing' for anything. he's 12. letting him pick is the right instinct
3on 13 year old niece asked me not to tell her parents about a test until she's ready
did she tell them
2on Older one wants her door closed, the toddler wants to be in there all the time
we moved homework to the dining table instead of his room. took the knocking question out of it completely
0on First pregnancy at 41 and the family has decided I should stop working
physician dad here. the word 'precious' doesn't change much if your OB is happy. the long procedure days on your feet are what i'd plan around with your OB, not the clinic days. families hear 'doctor' and assume you'll overwork. which is fair in our line tbh
1on Who does balcony safety grills around Kondapur? Our baby will be crawling soon
we did invisible grills when ours was small. ask your association first, most gated communities have rules on what can go on the outside. ours made everyone use the same type
0on Onam video call with my mother and my daughter needed me to translate
check if her school even offers malayalam as an option later. at my son's school it's hindi, telugu or french from 6th, nothing else, so outside classes were the only way for languages at home
is there a football turf near where you're staying. on weekdays most turfs sit empty till about 4. could just book an hour and let him kick around with the nanny
6on Grandson now reads every shop board out loud on our morning walk
ours read 'push' on every glass door and then pulled anyway
it's mostly a name. half the schools on my route to work are international something. i'd go by what you see on a visit
0on mango season's over and so is my 11 yr old's fruit eating
he did slurp them whole over the sink, yes. not sure guava has the same pull but will try leaving it uncut
the floor stuff is the main one. also the delivery guys ringing the bell every ten minutes, that's what will wake her
0on Six days off with viral fever and my class 10 daughter is already counting attendance
medical certificate from the doctor who saw her. hand it in now, not in february
0on Same Saturday art class for our 4 and 3 year old, and the younger one only copies his sister
the daughter part rings true. had a younger cousin shadowing my son at swimming for a year. my son quit before the cousin did
3on Weighing SR digi School in Champapet, in case my work pulls us across the city
For most of us the patients choose the hospital, not the doctor. Moving the family is sometimes the only lever.
2on My 10 year old now answers my work phone with 'Is it a baby?'
the bank deserved it. my son tells every caller 'papa's on rounds', including when i'm standing right next to him
0on Trustworthy shop around Malkajgiri or Secunderabad for a refurbished laptop for a 9 year old?
the computer shops on the secunderabad side have refurbished ones. quality varies a lot from shop to shop. take someone who checks the battery and keyboard before you pay
1on Class 7 rep elections on Friday. Daughter wants me to write her speech, with jokes
let her keep her points. kids that age vote for whoever makes them laugh in the first ten seconds, but they remember the water cooler too
4on Two preschools asked 'is the mother working?' before telling me anything
when we were looking they asked me if the mother would handle the meetings. i'm the one who goes. it's a script, just a lazy one
0on Our 3 year old's imaginary friend now needs a plate at dinner
our son had one at about that age. a dog called boss. we fed boss for maybe four months, then one day boss went to his village and never came back. no idea where that came from
mine wanted only his surname, like the cricketers. lasted till the first ptm, when the teacher used his full name in front of us. he didn't seem to mind.
2on How do families pick between the three boards at The Gaudium School, and can children switch later?
we looked when my son was smaller. ended up somewhere closer to the hospital for my own sake, not because of anything about the school. remember being told the board question matters more in the later years but ask them yourself, i don't remember it well enough to repeat
3on Keeping our toddler in daycare while I'm off for the summer and my partner isn't
your partner will come home from clinic tired every evening and you'll have had him all day. talk about that bit too. i keep those hours myself. six weeks is long for one person even when you want it
0on holidays and my 11 yr old is down to two meals a day. caregiver is worried, not sure i am
mostly fruit, some chips. the caregiver point is fair, she's taking it personally. going to tell her brunch counts as lunch and he can serve himself the rest
0on paati is teaching our 7 yr old tamil letters. now her english writing is a bit mixed up
Ours mixed Telugu and English letters at that age. Gone by class 2.
3on Does Swarnanjali High School in Moosapet run a summer camp that outside children can join?
most school camps i've come across run 9 to 12, which didn't solve much for us. check the hours before you plan the month around it
