0on Weekly boarding for 11th and 12th, home every weekend. Anyone tried the middle option?
no experience with hostels, mine is 6. but 'he's keen and i'm doing the maths' is exactly how my partner described our tuition decisions last year. whatever you pick, ask what a normal tuesday evening in that hostel looks like. study hours, phone, food. the brochure will only show you the weekend
1on What should the person staying at the hospital pack for themselves?
and slippers. nobody packs slippers
2on partner's family wants the delivery in coimbatore, and i can't leave mid-term
we did the delivery at my parents' place for our son. my partner did weekends by overnight bus for about six weeks. tiring, but says it was worth it. the first weeks are mostly feeding and sleeping anyway. the bigger thing was being there when we came back home.
1on Two grandmothers, two name lists, and the baby isn't here yet
the more people you consult the longer the list gets. we told family nothing until the cradle ceremony. no list, no debate. my mother-in-law sulked for a day and then forgot
4on How regular do horse riding lessons need to be for a 10 year old?
no idea about riding. for anything with a long drive we asked for a 4 or 5 session trial first, before any gear or membership. the drive killed swimming for us faster than the sport did
2on 13 yr old picked debate club because her friends did. she's been drawing since she was four
let her pick wrong. it's a club, not a marriage. if she hates it she'll switch next year, and it'll have been her call
ask how they define 'sick enough to call'. ours calls at 99. you two will be leaving clinic a lot
the coordinator looks after fourteen buses. not sure a polite request goes anywhere. part of me thinks a direct word with the girls would land better
1on Daycare says 'teething' every time he's cranky. Is that just the default answer?
the four teeth for two months detail is what i'd put to them. ask which tooth. watch the pause
