Thanks to CG I used Iowa Courts Online. I also pulled a lot of dirt with my friends today LOL
Are you going to not let them drink soda. One time on a field trip we were at the beach, and one of the 5th graders bought a soda and he assured me his mom would be okay with it (it also wasn't in our field trip notes that he was not allowed to) so I told him I would tell his mother at the end of the day that you told me he could. Anyways, end of the day and I tell the mother and she starts very aggressively asking why I would ever let him buy a soda and kept me there for 5 minutes and finally asked my boss that I be fired. Whoops.hey now, they at least have a college choice. It's ISU or the UW, assuming the UW is still a top tier school at that pointDH is with me on this one.
also, I've only eliminated a few extra curricular activities at this point. They still have a pretty free life. I have ideas on foods I think would be good to limit until certain ages. Ideas about how to discuss certain topics. There's more of a vague outline vs. a detailed plan. But like you said, nine months of pregnancy could get that **** narrowed down and researched to a point that rivals Erik's book.
Oh, and in our house planning spreadsheet, there may or may not have been a row for estimating day care costs forecasted out with multiple children. Dh gave me a look when I showed him that one.
IMO, SHE was out of line. Based on her reaction, I'm going to guess her son knew he wasn't allowed. He lied to you. Her beef should be with him, not you. If it was my kid, and I hadn't notified the chaperones in advance, my son & I would be having a MAJOR discussion that would have culminated with him apologizing to you for lying to you.
You're politer than I. I would have told her next time to send a note or make their wishes clear. You asked, he lied, you can't know every wish of every person. I then would have said that we need to have punishment for him lying and drove that home and walked away.
See that's what I expected to happen, I was so confused I didn't even know how to react. Luckily my boss was right there to back me up.
I'd like to avoid it for a while but I was thinking like you know, waiting til 4-5 age not grade haha. Don't think I want a toddler drinking pop. 10 year old can probably have one and I promise not to try and fire a camp counselor. That's extreme.
-19 forecast for Saturday night in the cities. Neat. Pants will love it.
Yeah. That was why I was asking where you picked it up. Iowa's records are pretty easily searched, as you found out.
My FIL drinks Dr Pepper and only Dr Pepper. We have had to stop him from giving drinks to LittleWX several times.
You are correct. The candy people spelled the name May. I guess it's been awhile since I bought chocolate candy cigarettes.
yeah I've seen toddlers in my circle of family/friends getting pop and I'm just like nope. I've read a lot about how the earlier you introduce them to super sweet things like pop, candy, ice cream it sort of desensitizes their taste buds and things that they used to find sweet enough (like fruit) aren't as good anymore and they want more of the bad stuff and become pickier. I figure it's easier to not give them candy for a while than it is to fight a sugar addicted toddler.
I had to slam on the brakes when coming to work today and my lunch cooler flew off the seat and landed upside down on the floor. Amazingly the large bowl of soup I had in there survived without a leak.
It's a Christmas miracle.

Stick to your guns. Everyone has an opinion and is going to tell you what it is.
wxman is right. here's mine!
We didn't give our daughter any soda until she was around 6. They don't miss it if they don't know what to miss.
We also kept her away from candy for quite a few years. THAT is hard to do. People love giving kids candy, especially when you are first showing your kids to them. "Oh, she's so cute. Hold on, I have something for you" (reaches into desk drawer and pulls out an industrial sized bowl of candy) "Here sweetie, grab a few things."
She isn't a big candy lover to this day. She likes gum or a mint as much as anything.As far as pop goes, about the only time my daughter gets it is when we go out to eat, which isn't often. And she will order sweet tea or chocolate milk about half of the time.
I'm not getting any love in my service provider thread. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good service provider in the NW Iowa area? My mom's phone crapped out and they just found out that their service provider is discontinuing their service (I can't remember what it was honestly)
From personal experience I know that Sprint is horrible.
