My sister asked if she could borrow Z for a few hours this morning. List of things I would like to get done in that short period of time: Finish my current sewing project Go to JoAnns for more sewing stuff Wash overnight diapers Shower Paint my nails Netflix marathon while doing nothing Deep clean pet spots on the carpet Vacuum Tidy our bedroom Fold and put laundry away I'll probably spend a bunch of time on my phone and maybe get one or two of those done

Last night was rough. O was up all night crying. This morning he is running a fever and has a super messy ear. EI mommas, does that mean he has an EI? Or does the messiness mean that it's draining and healing on its own? (This is probably a super dumb question).

Could be an EI, could be just messy ears. I'd take him in

Yeah that's what I thought. I have an appointment at 10:45. He seems to otherwise feel okay, so at least we can have fun and play this morning!

That's a very ambitious list! I would probably go for the Netflix marathon. That's more my speed.

Drainage from the ear post tube means infection and he needs abx. Who did the tubes? Did they give you an rx for drops and some educational materials about when to give them? I didn't have to take DS1 in when he had tubes unless the drops did not work. I would call if I needed a refill rx and they would call it in. If they still had pain or it didn't clear, then you take him to the ENT doc.

I don't recall correctly, but I don't think O has tubes.
Otherwise, yes, everything becole said. Unless you have a special snowflake like me that needs drops and oral abx and is still having issues. But I'm sure we're an anomaly.
DD was on a roll with "whys" this morning. I would give her an answer, then get another "why" 20 more times. I'm thinking, do you even know what you're asking?! Lol
JoBub was just thinking, how are you all liking E's new school?
I don't know. H said drop offs are terrible, and he has started fighting us to even get dressed in the morning saying he doesn't want to go to school. He tells H he wants to go to his old school. He always seems fine by the time I pick him up, and when I ask about his day he tells me good things. Where at the old school he used to tell me things he got in trouble for. LOL
The lead teacher usually seems sort of frazzled when I see her in the afternoon, but DS tells me she's his favorite teacher. I'm sure it's a long day for her since toddlers are crazy at this age (almost 3).
So I don't know if there's something actually going on at school to make him not want to go, or if it's just a toddler thing.

Could be a toddler thing, you said he's been acting out a little more lately right? N has started fighting us on everything as of late. I'm actually trying to schedule a teacher conference with them just to discuss her behavior and see how see does there. I find pick up and drop off are too hectic to really delve deep into a discussion. Can you try and schedule a time to talk with the teacher?

yeah, I spend so much time here and on the M14 BMB that I get a little reassurance that his acting out is normal. H is really frustrated, and I think he wants to have something to blame it on. And I'm sure the transition to the new house/school was hard for him, so maybe it can be blamed on that to an extent, but it doesn't necessarily mean there's something going on at school. I have been thinking of scheduling a conference too just to talk about how they feel he's doing. There's only been one day that they said he "struggled with listening" but there was another day he had a bump on his head from hitting it on the floor during a tantrum, and yesterday when I asked him how his day was he said "I just screamed at Ms. Farmer." So I'm sure it's not all peachy. But it would be nice to know if they feel it's normal almost-3-year-old stuff, or if he's a real PITA for them.
How long is too long for a toddler to stay with grandparents? H is going to Japan for work, and now they're trying to tack on a trip to Taiwan and he'd be gone for almost 2 weeks. Like Monday to the following Friday, so 2 full work weeks.
I am thinking I'll be ok on my own if we leave him with my ILs for the first few days. Then after the first Wednesday, work lightens up for me a whole lot because the seniors get done. So they could bring him back on Wed and I'd be ok on my own. But I could also have them keep him until the weekend to give myself a little break and only have to do the solo parenting thing for one week. It would be easier to bring him back on a weekend anyway because I could meet them half way, and the time change won't mess him up on a school night.
But the longest he's ever been away from us was a weekend for SIL's wedding.

I may be hesitant to leave DS with grandparents a whole week. I would right now for the sake of being alone and packing the house and stuff, but outside of something like that, I'm not sure I'd do more than like three days. I know I'd miss him, and I'd worry about how spoiled he'd be when he comes back home. Once they're older I wouldn't care as much. I used to spend weeks on weeks at my grandparents (both sets) in the summers and it was my favorite thing ever. My parents would pick us up on wknds. or just come by for a visit. It was a lot of fun. But my sister and I were elementary - middle school aged and we were out of that spoiled misbehaving age.

I'm also team leave him for the week. I left DD for a week when she was 16 months and she was fine. Granted, she was with my best friend, so she wasn't getting spoiled by grandparents. But just think, this could also be good for him to get extra 1 on 1 time with the grandparents before the new baby comes and everyone is focused on that. If he is completely comfortable with them, go for the week!

JoBub I'd go for the whole week too as long as you think he'll be ok for that period of time. It sounds like he has been around them enough and is comfortable with them so I wouldn't see any issue. I take advantage of the help wherever I can get it!
becole, I have another Disney question. Do you know how much of a hassle or if it's a hassle to get the RFID card if you don't have a magicband? I'm debating just buying the band if it would potentially avoid significant delay the first day by not having to wait in some crazy long line to get the card.
Finally bought tickets and that app is great, thank you! Even figured out the fast passes all by myself lol 👍
