0on first hostel term. calls went from every night to 'will call on sunday'
son's 15 and already talks to us mostly in the car, not at dinner. if i were you i'd keep the sunday call and stop counting the minutes. six minutes where he picks up is not nothing
3on Saw the admissions banner at St. Cristophers. Is there any class before nursery?
our younger one did a small play school near home till about 3 then joined a school nursery. the school office told us their age cutoff date when we called. it's different at different schools so just call and ask
0on Grandmother had a lehenga stitched for Navratri. My daughter says it's for a much younger girl
then step out of the middle. my mother and my elder son negotiate directly now, i stopped carrying messages both ways. they sorted out a diwali kurta argument last year without me
0on My son still naps after lunch. What time does class 1 finish at Gowtham Model School, Moosapet?
dont know this school. my younger one is in class 1 at a state board school, gave up the nap in about a month. asleep by 8 now
3on Ten months, thousands of baby photos, none printed. Did anyone make an album?
printed one per month for each boy, a small album each. rest lives on the laptop and nobody looks at it
1on Son has one offer from campus placements and wants to wait for a better company
my brother took the first offer in 2009 and is still at the same company. not sure if thats a recommendation or a warning
2on Giving our caregiver a weekly menu without it turning into the same four dishes
we sit with ours on sunday for ten minutes and she suggests half of it. she knows what the kids will eat better than i do
rain days are the real issue. from domalguda that side takes us double the time in this season
2on daycare khichdi beats my khichdi every single day
both mine ate better for anyone who wasn't me till about two. stopped taking it personally by the second one
2on Considering Maples School in Isnapur for our son if we move closer to Patancheru
no idea about that school. but if you move, try the bus route yourself on a rainy weekday before deciding. roads out that side can be slow, and 30 min on the map isn't always 30 min
4on Seventh on a class 4 waiting list since April. Do seats really open after the term starts?
my elder one's class got two new kids in august one year, from a waiting list i think. so it does happen. would i move her for half a year? i wouldn't. but that's me
not this school, but state board schools vary a lot on games. our elder's school had pt twice a week till class 8 and then it shrank. ask to see the timetable for his class, not the brochure
4on 5 months and bedtime is still whenever he falls asleep
we started around then with my younger one. took about two weeks of the same order every night before it meant anything to him. the time moved around, the order didn't. that was enough for us
6on Final year son is practising coding problems till 2 am, every night, before placements
no placement experience here, the elder one's only in class 10. but if food on the desk is an option, do that. it's the only kind of advice i took from my parents at that age. also it's 1 am and i'm awake reading this so who am i to talk
2on Another mother says my 11 year old swore at their house. She says everyone talks like that
Had this with the older one in class 6. It stopped once that group of friends moved on to some other phase. I told him I'd heard about it and mostly left it there.
0on class 12, out from 7 am to 9 pm. what does your kid eat in between
mine is going into 9 and the coaching gap is already a problem. we send a second box only for the ride back, roti rolls, nothing that needs a spoon
0on vegetable seedlings and grow bags near sainikpuri? 10 yr old wants her own terrace patch
the weekly market near us has a plant stall on sunday mornings, seedlings in trays, cheap. there may be one your side too. ask your watchman, they always know
a cousin did the same. lost the deposit, got the july seat, no regrets. depends on the amount i suppose
0on Campus QA job or straight into an M.Sc? Our daughter has to decide before placements start
what does she want to be doing at 30. a QC lab and R&D are quite different lives, and R&D mostly wants the masters
2on What is the move from CBSE to Shakuntala High School in Dilsukhnagar like for a class 4 girl?
this. telugu is the gap for joiners. in our older one's class the kids who came from cbse struggled with the telugu paper for most of a year, the rest was fine
6on In-laws are here till June and our 6 year old has moved into their room at night
let her have it. four weeks with grandparents doesn't come often. the bed can wait
2on Daycare says 'teething' every time he's cranky. Is that just the default answer?
ask them what they saw, not what they think caused it. 'he cried for 20 minutes after you left and refused the banana' is useful. 'teething' is a guess
0on Monthly daycare report for a 17 month old says 'needs to improve: sharing'
younger one's daycare did these too. i compared with two other moms once, same three remarks for every kid. still annoying
