It will be a different experience. Think back to your K-5 experience. Most likely you had music once a week, art, library, gym once a week. Recess. Then in middle school you had to pick band, orchestra or chorus also sports were introduced at school. When I tried to remember truthfully what my experience was like at my good public in a small town that is what I realized. ALSO, there is no way to replicate 100% your experience.

cunt -- I remember reading Miller in college and all these wanna be lit majors pretended there was nothing offensive about the word. (I was a history major just filling core requirements so I thought I might be wrong. Looked it up. "Cunt" has been a highly offensive word since it entered the English language. Probably a bastardization of kuhne, the Dutch word for rabbit. (Interestingly, words for rabbit are the basis for slang about the female/female genitalia in many languages.) Kuhne is also the original name of Coney Island. It is said that when Hudson's men first landed in NY it was on a small island covered with rabbits. [ Reply | More

Visible panty line looks tacky, I don't want to see half of your ass cheek hanging out of your underwear through your pants. [ Reply | More

I agree, it's only tacky when it's clearly supporting fat asses that would normally... hang down more. On a perky butt in yoga pants, I think it's fine. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Dd will be 22mos when she starts nursery school in Sept. I have an option of 2 or 3 days per week 9am-2pm (no nap - she'll nap once she gets home). Which option is better? She's super social fwiw. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

3 is fine. But, I'd say she needs a nap earlier than 2pm. [ Reply | More

Op here. I did this with my ds when he was 25mos and he was fine. It took us a few months to push his nap back but it worked. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I am expecting DB#2 in the early fall and just signed 2yo DS up for a Friday class at the local kids club (he will be in a 2-day preschool program). Stupid me just realized that the Friday class is adult-participation only and no siblings (infants or older) are allowed. This is fine while I am on maternity leave and nanny and I can alternate bringing 2yo DS to class and watching infant, but I will only be on maternity leave until late November and class goes through end of January. Try to get a refund and withdraw DS from class? Ugh. 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Ooops meant to say 2yo DS will be in a 2-day preschool program on Tuesdays and Thursdays which is a drop-off program. [ Reply | More

[ - ] What are your go-to cookbooks for weeknight dinners? Internet recipes and cooking apps make me a bit spazzy and disorganized and now I just want to get back to basics and look up recipes in a cookbook. What are your favorites? Thanks in advance! 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

That's an excellent question and I don't even remember when I signed up or why. Feels like I've been getting them forever. On the other hand, I don't have many sources for recipes using the dust of poor people and Fiji water, so I probably should keep on keeping on. :) [ Reply | More
