Her parents want a nanny for the afternoons. I think I'm managing fine.

2on Dropping daytime feeds at 10 months. Which one went first for you?
Her mother said the same when my granddaughter stopped. Relieved and teary on the same day. The grandparents were simply relieved, I must admit. Everybody slept better.
0on Partner's OPD days changed, and now we're both out on the same three days
Any grandparent who can come for those three days? I do four afternoons a week for my granddaughter. Not every family can, I know.
0on Class 3 has an English recitation every Friday, and she freezes in front of the class
My son was the same at that age. Perfect at home, not a word at school. What helped was not more practice but practice in front of near-strangers. He recited to the security guard and the shopkeeper downstairs for a few weeks, and after that school felt less special. Arre, later he gave speeches in college.
1on Asked for a class 7 timetable on a school tour and was told it's 'dynamic'
Ask for it by email. If it exists, they will send it. If nothing comes in a week, that is your answer.
0on Our preschooler's fistful of curry leaves made the best rasam in weeks
Excellent. In our house the granddaughter's job is the coriander. Half goes in the dish, half in her mouth.
0on Late home three times this week. The girls now fine me in bedtime stories
Payment in advance, never. Grandchildren do not accept it, I have tried. My granddaughter fines me for falling asleep before she does.
3on Granddaughter, 4, has started telling small lies. Very obvious ones
Good advice, and harder than it sounds for me, because I enjoy the story. Thursday I will try it.
1on Granddaughter, 4, has started telling small lies. Very obvious ones
Rules lie and story lie. I like that. I will check with her mother in the morning. I suspect it is one hour.
