3·23 Oct 2026·on My boys will eat any vegetable in sambar and none of them as thoran

if they're eating the veg, does the form matter? my son ate vegetables only in rajma chawal for years 🤷 he's 16 and eats salads now, voluntarily

1·13 Oct 2026·on Gate off the whole kitchen, or teach her 'no'? 11 months and pulling up on everything

Gate. At 11 months 'no' mostly teaches you to say no two hundred times a day. We gated the kitchen and left the living room as the free zone. My son is 16 now and still opens every kitchen drawer looking for snacks, so the instinct never fully goes 🤷

3·28 Sept 2026·on Senior boys on the school bus keep the back rows. My 9 year old gets squeezed in near the driver

Asked my son just now since he's one of the back-row boys on his bus. According to him the juniors sit in front because the attendant puts them there, nobody saves anything. Every bus is different, but I'd ask how seats are assigned before assuming it's the seniors.

1·17 Aug 2026·on On-call nights, and my 15 year old now stays up 'to keep me company'

Up again tonight as it happens, and he's asleep, so that's something. I like the distracting angle, it's even partly true. Will try it on the next one without making it sound like a complaint.
