[-]Anyone notice Kyle McLahlan and his wife at the Chelsea Day open house last night? Guess their kid is getting one of the 16 spots!

I responded to this question in another thread. I loved Jean. I know she gets mixed reviews on this board. People either love her or hate her. I admit, I went there expecting to hate her based on some things I read here. And b/c of that, I was lukewarm on CDS. But I ended up loving her. Downloaded the application today and will make it one of my top choices. Admittedly, my absolute top choice was Beginnings, but we didn't clear the lottery.

i applied last year and Jean practically admitted during the open house that all celebs clear the lottery

If a celeb has to go to the OH and do all the normal things, I don't think he's A list enough to be guaranteed a spot.

ITA. I think most "celebrity parents" care about their kids' education and what type of school would be a good fit for their child just like other "mere mortal" parents. If I were a celebrity parent, I'd go on tours and to open houses too, as long as my presence didn't create some sort of spectacle. I imagine Kyle would not create any uproar, but maybe Britney would.
[ Reply | Options ]Celebrity parents (A List...like madonna, etc-- no Z list like Kyle WHO??) get private tours. I am sure some go on the tour with others, but I know for a fact a lot have the opportunity to take the private tour so that the crazy UB moms can't report their every move on the tour to the world.

I can not speak to what it is like as a parent there however when we were waitlisted there they flat out told me that we should call everyday and the people who called the most were the ones that the waitlist "moved for." Absurd and ridiculous and I decided to end it there. What really burned me was how Jean specifically said how one should stay in their neighborhood for school and then we got waitlisted. After they moved to 30's where everyone complains about! They seemed more two-faced to me then any uptown or downtown school to us. This is so not sour grapes on my part because we did not really love the school (or Jean's choice of ongoings for exmissions) and probably would not have chosen it even if we had been accepted but the way thin...

anyone else bothered by the lack of diversity? every couple at the open house looked exactly the same......
[ Reply | Options ]It is utterly absurd for them to stuff 300 people in a room for 3 hours of lecturing for them to only review 3% of the applications. It is a real lack of respect for the parents applying to the school. I, for one, didn't need to spend $60 on a babysitter so I could go to an open house and then not even get through the lottery. CDS should be ashamed - and should reschedule the open house to AFTER the lottery.
[ Reply | Options ]Wait, I don't get it, you didn't know there was a lottery until you attended the open house?
[ Reply | Options ]I knew there was a lottery, it was absurd that they held the open house PRIOR To the lottery. Very disrespectful on the part of CDS.
[ Reply | Options ]Why did you go, then? You could have just waited until after the lottery and visited the school when you went to interview (if you got to that stage). Not trying to push your buttons. Just don't understand why you resented the open house, per se. It was entirely optional.
[ Reply | Options ]it just doesnt make ANY sense to have the open house before the lottery. like it is so crazy i hope some parent asks that question at the next open house!!!

It's good info if you get into the lottery. And it is necessary info if you are considering the school (after the lottery). It is a waste of f-ing time if you are negged from the lottery. CDS is known for treating its parents terribly, it is not surprising to see them treat APPLICANTS horribly as well.
[ Reply | Options ]I don't get all of the Jean bashing. I'm a CDS parent and very happy with the school, the teachers and Jean. The location might not be idea for some of you but the facilities and classrooms are outstanding. And no - we aren't a diverse family but we did somehow make it through the lottery (as did many other families who weren't diverse).
[ Reply | Options ]This is the first time I have ever posted here (after visiting for 4 years) but do feel compelled to reply to this poster. I have 2 children at CDS and the parents there are thrilled with the school, Jean, the teachers and the beautiful facilities. Although 32nd street isn't the most desirable of all locations, it is clean and safe and a nice walk to Madison Sq Park which is beautiful. CDS is my only preschool experience (aside from applying to many of the downtown school) but I can tell you that parents are thrilled to be part of the CDS community - full stop.

Every school we're applying to (Brooklyn and Manhattan) has the open house / tour before the lottery. It's a huge waste of time.

[-]Need Support please. I am feeling very anxious and exhausted and need some reassurance/advice. I suffer from anxiety although been doing better last several weeks. long story short I have been peeing much more often last several days and feel more of a sensation in my bladder. Urologist said I probably have an overactive bladder, no uti. That scared me and I was up last night peeing like 1x per hr. So I guess my question is am I making this worse by being anxious about it?? Plus I may have a vaginal infection which keeps re-occuring. Please help.

[ Reply | Options ]or: yes, it's awful, and people who don't have it (like some of the posters here) think it's fun to be mean to people who have it. one thing i was going to suggest is that you see a GP for a workup. It is unlikely, but peeing a lot can be a symptom of diabetes or of thyroid imbalance. My guess is that you are just overly aware of it right now, or that you're simply drinking more fluids and that's what's causing the excess pee.

Sure what do you want to talk about? Educational approach -- very good, in my opinion.
[ Reply | Options ]One of the most important components of the approach is to take cues from dcs - follow up on THEIR interests rather than imposing own. This sort of deep exploration of any topic is v good prep for K, which requires continued focus. And I think there is a balance btwn group and individual play. DC in Reggio-influenced preschool and extremely happy.
[ Reply | Options ]-
I could never articulate it, you shoudl go to a professional source, but it is an amazing approach. The things that are done, being driven by the kids' own imaginations, at true Reggio schools, are very interesting - and beyond what happens in traditional pre-schools. But it's more about the whole child's creativity and confidence, -- don't worry about the first grade thing, first grade comes when first grade comes
[ Reply | Options ]From what I have read and their website a child is allowed to read about, be read to, draw pictures of, create models of and write essays on a particular subject. Instead of the child just reading out of a text, the child can do projects on any of the subjects the teacher or they come up with. It reinforces what they learn in a variety of ways; reading, hearing, writting, modleing, talking about, etc.
[ Reply | Options ]It is the best kept secret in the Western Hemisphere. Their approach is hot in parts of the world like Australia and Germany (and Italy, of course). In ten years new parents will be clamoring to get their kids enrolled in RE schools. These days it's more of an eyebrow raiser.
[ Reply | Options ]It's not an eyebrow raiser at all anymore. Every top preschool in Manhattan incorporates at least some Reggio. 92Y, Brick, All Souls, First Pres, and Beginnings are entirely Reggio (so is MAP, fwiw). Episcopal and, I've heard, PAC also incorporate a lot of Reggio ideas. It is the norm now (except among the stodgy UES "traditional" schools with the uniforms and workbooks).
[ Reply | Options ]-
CDS is NOT Reggio. They, like many NYC schools "incorporate" RE into their philosophy, but they are a typical developmental preschool (we are there).
[ Reply | Options ]NP: We're in our third happy year at CDS. 2007 auction raised $$$ to send teachers to Italy for a Reggio Emilia conference. Auction 2008 raised $$$ for Reggio play materials. Teachers talk about RE all the time, the "Thousand Voices of Children"? Come on, it's an RE school (like Beginnings) and proud of it. THey just don't advertise it on their website is all.

OMG, you ladies understand they are not BANNING mammograms for women under 50, right? They are just recommending that women not be SCREENED with mammograms until 50. If there is any indication that a mammogram is needed before then, it will be performed. But studies have shown that mammograms done on women with no risk factors under 40 do more harm than good (false positives, intervention when not needed, etc.). This is to improve health, and I personally am delighted--our early and often screening has been wasting money that would better go to other more useful procedures AND has been resulting in painful and disfiguring unneeded procedures for many women. Many operations are done on pre-cancerous lesions right now, with outcomes actually ...

[-]How common is it to offer 'benefits' such as paid vacation, holidays, etc. for a PT nanny? I am only looking to hire a nanny 3 days/week, and I'm a bit uncomfortable offering a full set of benefits for a PT job. It just doesn't make sense, I wouldn't expect benefits if I would be looking for a PT job. However, the persons we're interviewing have quite interesting requests. Anyone BTDT?
5 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]If you want to be competitive/generous, you could offer 1-2 weeks paid vacation. Assuming you pay $100/day for 3 days....a week of paid vacation = $300. No holidays. Like I said, that is competitive/generous, if you don't care about that, no need to offer benefits. I offered one nanny two weeks paid vacation and 10 holidays, and she only worked 30 hours a week on average, but we wanted to keep her VERY happy, because we loved her. It was also our second year with us, she was our weekend nanny before that, with no benefits.
[ Reply | Options ]np: I've always given a regular pt nanny benefits. Two weeks vacation, but of course, each week is only 3 days long, so it's less money. I also pro-rate Monday holidays if that is her regular day (i.e. I'll give her 3 of 5 as vacation days) and I also pay for any holiday that happens to fall on her work day -- some years it may be quite a few, some years none.
[ Reply | Options ]
IME, when you are dealing with set hours, rather than someone you call up when you need her, it is customary, at least in NYC, to give pro-rated benefits. So you pay if you go on vacation during any of her set days, you give her a week or two of vacation (which in your case is 3 or 6 days) you pay for major holidays that fall on her regular days.

[-]Lawyer moms - Am I screwed if I take off a year to take care of newborn DC? I'm currently a soft IP attorney at biglaw.
15 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]-
If you are gunning for partner at your firm, then probably. If the thought is that you will move on some day and you do not need to worry about $, then 1 year off may not be a big deal esp. if you keep in touch by joining a bar committee or similar (also good for later job hunting networking). On the other hand if your firm/department is slow right now, they may welcome the opportunity to not pay you for a year and then be able to get you back.
[ Reply | Options ]Not interested in partnership but would like to stay in the game. Money is not an issue though helpful to have extra. I like my job. Things are slow which cuts both ways. Not sure if they would welcome not paying me for a year or whether it makes more vulnerable to being let go, i.e. not so bad without her after all though we like her this is saving us money type of thought.
[ Reply | Options ]
I would take off 6 months and then go PT if you can , otherwise you may indeed be screwed.
[ Reply | Options ]Take as much maternity leave as you can (including unpaid if they offer it) and then try to do flex-time. As a recruiter, I can tell you that it's hard to get back in the game especially in this market when you've been out/unemployed (unless you have amazing credentials and I mean amazing). And if you ultimately want to work part/flex-time, very few places will hire you as a PT lawyer, they may offer it to you once you are there for awhile but it's a hard job to find. Your best bet is to get a schedule like that at your current firm.
[ Reply | Options ]It's bad out there. I think you should take as much maternity leave as your firm will allow, and then when it's getting close to the end of that time, talk to your firm about taking additional unpaid leave so that you're still technically employed, but just not getting paid. If you quit and then want to get back in, you're done.
[ Reply | Options ]Biglaw partner here. The answer depends a lot on the firm, your level of seniority and how you are currently perceived by your practice group. My firm's 6-month leave policy helped me stay in the game. Without more info, my best advice is that unless you can come back full-time after a year and hit the ground running with real support, you are toast.
[ Reply | Options ]Do you think the approach should be all or nothing. In other words, is going part-time just as bad as taking a year off? I'm a 7th year in a very top heavy group, politically supported by one camp (who does have pull) and not so much by the others (some of whom are politically strong) who are more stringent with numbers. I'm very well liked (work and personality), but the practice group is doing just awful and they are under pressure from the other groups.
[ Reply | Options ]I think it totally depends on the way the senior decision-makers in your firm view maternity leave, part time/flex time and promotion and retention of women. If you have strong supporters in the senior ranks, you might be able to pull it off. If not, you may never recover. If the group is weak within the firm, my guess is that it would an off-ramp.

[-]What age do they recommend weaning dc off of paci? Dc is 20mo, today is day 3 of cold turkey weaning and going strong!
16 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]-
My observation is that developmentally, babies get "long term memory" right around 20 months - in a nutshell - before 16 months, you can take away anything and within a few days most babies will have forgotten all about it. After 24 months, they will take a long, long time to forget special things. I found this is also true for having a new sibling - onlies forget they were once the king/queen within days if the new baby comes before 16-18 months and have a lot fewer issues ( at least in the short term).
[ Reply | Options ]My ds was 18 months. We kept a paci around, just in case he got really sick after weaning or if we had to take an emergency flight, and I found the paci the other day. Showed it to ds and he didn't even remember what it was. We didn't go cold turkey. Started without it at naps, then gradually removed it at nights.
[ Reply | Options ]This is exactly what we did at 18 months and worked perfectly. We did give it back to her when she was sick with an ear infection for a few days but told her it was only while she was sick and she understood. After that she saw it and said we can give it to the new baby when we have one.

She never used a pacifier, and is very independent. The giving of the bottles has, I think, been more for me than for her. Any suggestions/things to be prepared for? TIA!
7 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]we are doing it gradually, starting at 17 mo (our son spit out a lot of what he drank rfrom a sippy cup/straw- fine with water not so much with milk- we waited until he had stopped doing that!). We just have the morning bottle left, taking that away this weekend. Not looking forward to that, it's the one he's REALLY attached to!
[ Reply | Options ]I did with my ds a few months ago when he was about your dd's age, and it wasn't so bad! The first two nights he whined for the bottle, and then he got used to it. I would suggest first giving her milk in a cup at some point when she's not sleepy, so she can get used to the idea that it's okay for milk to come from a cup, before you attempt early-morning or nighttime cups. Expect a little resistance, proceed as normal, and also I second what above poster said about how she may start drinking less milk after this. At her age, however, this is probably okay. GL!!

Wait until you're ready to meet w/ the mediator to actually have the meeting. There's less of a rush than you think.
[ Reply | Options ]I have no experience with this type of situation, but what I will offer is to take deep breaths when you feel your breath caught in your chest. Don't answer or commit to anything that you have not had a chance to think through. Take thorough notes so you can refer back to and think about the next steps. Finally, soon after the meeting, fill out your notes with thoughts that you didn't have time to jot down. Any tough situation is definitely helped by being thoughtful and taking one step back before taking two steps forward. Lots of luck to you.
[ Reply | Options ]Mediation is like therapy in that you get to have your say and you must listen to what the other has to say.

If you can make it work, mediation will be way cheaper and easier than litigation. And it sets a better example and creates a better environ for kids. So, try to make it work. That said, the whole discussion does take place in the shadow of the litigation alternative, and you shouldn't agree to an arrangement that is ...
[ Reply | Options ]If you have detailed household records of the daily expenses, bring them. Try to make simple list of expenses. The mediator will probably start with making sure the household is going to run smoothly, and will try to get you both to agree on what is fair for interim support. In the following weeks, you will go over other assets, visitation etc. If you could both read the Sandcastle approach to divorce, I am sure your mediator would be very thankful, and it really makes everyone focus on what is best for kids.
