0·29 Oct 2026·on Does Sumanjali High School in Kondapur run any after-school sport on campus?

When you asked the daycare about pickup, did they say what happens if the school releases late on an event day? That's the part I would want in writing before relying on it.

1·21 Oct 2026·on 4 year old has stopped eating fish because 'fish are friends'

Worth checking whether it is fish specifically or anything that was once an animal. My son announced he wasn't eating chicken at about the same age. It turned out to be only chicken, and only when he could recognise the shape. Curry with small pieces went back on the menu within a few weeks; drumsticks took longer. We didn't argue about it and kept eggs and paneer around in the meantime.

6·10 Sept 2026·on Helping our weekend driver with nursery admission at St.Dominics Savio High School

Check the age cut-off before anything else. Whether she goes into nursery or LKG depends on her age on a particular date, and schools set that date differently. If she's close to a cut-off, it's worth confirming at the first visit so he doesn't apply for the wrong class.

3·7 Sept 2026·on The colony Ganesh committee worked out I'm pregnant before my sister did

Colony aunties have better detection than any test kit. With us it was my partner refusing tea at a cousin's engagement. By the time the snacks came round, three people had congratulated her.

1·4 Sept 2026·on Lending library for a 7 year old who finishes a book a day, near Nanakramguda?

Check whether your gated community or a neighbouring one has a residents' library. Ours in Gopanpally started as one shelf in the clubhouse and now has a decent children's section, mostly donated. They let a few outsiders join for a small fee. Worth asking around the communities near you before driving further.

1·17 Aug 2026·on went to buy one big pot for the curry leaf plant, came back with four plants and no pot

The potters' stalls along the Mumbai highway side used to have the large sizes stacked outside, though I haven't been in about a year. Check the drainage hole before you buy. Half the big ones I've bought had a hole too small for that size and needed widening.

1·13 Aug 2026·on Gym near Banjara Hills that will take my two teenage sons and keep an eye on their lifting?

When you visit, go at the hour they would be training, not at 11 am when the place is empty. Count how many trainers are on the floor in the evening rush and how many of them are busy with paid personal clients. 'Supervised' in a brochure can mean one person watching thirty.

0·13 Jun 2026·on Should a 7 year old move up to the competition group in a sport he only joined for his friend?

What does the competition group do differently in an ordinary week? If it is the same drills with more hours and a tournament every month, that is one thing. If it means a separate coach and smaller numbers, that is another. I would ask to watch one of their sessions before deciding.

2·29 May 2026·on Our son is one and we've opened an account for school costs. What did nursery cost beyond the fee?

The cost nobody warned us about was time. Nursery finished at 12.30, so we paid the caregiver for extra hours, and over the year that came to more than the van. If both of you work full days, put the afternoon cover in the same spreadsheet as the school.
