[ - ] I am parent president at my kids' school. I need to host an event for 20 people. It is a targeted fundraising event where a presentation will be made so we need privacy and quiet. I can't afford to rent a private room in a restaurant but my home is not really suited for formal entertaining. We live in a classic six that needs to be renovated (although it's comfortable, organized and clean). I love my home but it's not the showpiece that I've been to for other family hosted events at school. Should I try to find a less expensive venue? Or should I just throw in the towel, save the money and have people come over to my cozy, unglamorous home? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I'd do it at your home. People are always happy to be invited to anyone's apt. Don't compare your apt to others - just be your usual gracious self and enjoy. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Why do people refuse to focus on the real issue in the mommy wars: our society cannot afford, or refuses to enable, what many experts have found is ideal for young children: having a family member at their home with them in early childhood? It's ideal, but it's not necessary. However, the fault is not on women who choose (or are chosen for due to resources) to SAHM or WOHM. The problem is the organization of our society and economy. Ideally, a parent would be able to stay home for a few years and then seamlessly go (back) to work. 17 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I agree in parts but I would also add that this is compounded by this being considered a women’s issue instead of a family issue. I think a federally subsidized 6 months maternity leave after you have worked for a company for 2 year to be taken by the mother OR the father would really be beneficial for families all around. It’s not about research or what experts say, it’s about giving families the best possible start without women having to make huge sacrifices. It would also reduce women being discriminated against in the work place when planning or having children. [ Reply | More

He's 2 so this is pretty lame, but he knows all his letters, colors, numbers and he speaks in 5-6 word sentences. I'm probably the only person on earth impressed with this. [ Reply | More

My DS graduated from college last week, in four years, with honors, no debt and started a great job the Monday after graduation. This guy was not a great HS student but really turned on the power in college. Late bloomer but just a wonderful, resilient, caring young man. Thanks for asking, op! [ Reply | More

She's a fast runner, which was something I was never able to achieve, even though I was always a good team sport player. She also did an awesome job on her last science project (something that I was deficient at too). It seems like a lot of things that DD is good at comes naturally for her even though I was a loser or either had to work hard at in my youth. Funny how that works out. [ Reply | More

Being a shy person naturally myself, I'm proudest of hearing from her teachers and other parents that the kids all speak glowingly of her and want to set up a playdate. She really is a kind-hearted soul, she refuses to name a "best friend" because she doesn't want anyone to feel left out, and I'm so proud of how she's bloomed! [ Reply | More

My 3 year can count to 40 by memory, and understands numbers up to 10. She knows her letter sounds, and is starting to sound out words. If you ask her how to spell C-V-C words, she has several memorized. She speaks complex sentences in English and Spanish, and seems adept at keeping those vocabularies separate. So much for supposedly inferior Hispanic IQ! [ Reply | More
