I noticed the other day that a little girl in her class had braces. DH says it's ridiculous to put braces on a 7 y/o, since she hasn't lost all of her teeth yet. WDYT? When should children generally first have their teeth assessed by an orthodontist? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

np--13 is very late. I see kids going through two rounds of braces, starting around 5th grade. Kids can start with palate expanders at a very young age. I would shop around though. The aggressiveness seems overly zealous. [ Reply | More

It is not too early to have a consultation. Orthodontists start treatment earlier nowadays than when we were young. Do not wait until she is a tween/teen. The treatment can be faster if you start younger. [ Reply | More

Yup. Just like it is possible to do the same in biglaw, or ibanking, or big corporate, or hitec. But it likely does involve working like a dog and deprioritizing family.

Some days I love my community and the wonderful school and group of friends we have, but other days I am tired of living in an apt. I want space, I want to pull into my driveway and unpack my groceries, I want a garage where I can store all the kids shit and not have to constantly run down to the storage room to get a bike, a sled, etc. I know NO place is perfect - and my fear is that I will move to the 'burbs and realize i gave up my happiness for more square footage. How did you know when you really wanted to go and were willing to take a leap of faith? The back and forth is making me nuts. And DH too. 12 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I have gained a lot of less stress, but only because my office is almost right on top of grand central. My commute is barely more than when I lived on UWS. I like being able to entertain family and not have to go to a restaurant. I like not worrying about school choice (what a fucking misnomer, they choose you, you don't choose them).

We left NYC and moved to the country to a small town. To be honest, there was a transition period. And, I often wondered if we did the right thing during the first year out. But, almost 3 years later, I love it. We sometimes miss the culture, restaurants, etc. but we still get to the city for visits and I don't miss those things as much as I thought I would. I don't worry about money, fashion, etc anymore and we can afford for our children to go to an amazing private school where we live. [ Reply | More

I'm the same way. If it's the middle of winter and they've done nothing but preschool and play at home, they don't need a bath more than every other day. During the summer, at least once a day sometimes twice. Kids get filthy from head to toe, and yes, I agree that it's good to get the sunscreen off. If I don't shower and scrub after sunscreen I can accidentally rub my eyes and get a bad sting; don't want that happening to little kiddos. [ Reply | More
