Not having grown up in a naked house, I am uncertain about the timing and protocol of transitioning to non-nakedness as the kids grow up. I mean, we don't expect that she'll still be sitting on the…Continue

wookie commented on Egggirl's blog post 'Seven lessons learned the first real week of motherhood'"A five year old might have some balance issues climbing while wearing a backpack, but they can absolutely walk while carrying one, put their own lunch box in it, and put it into the car and climb in after it."

hermit crab replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"We ask the question "Do you want privacy or company?" to the bub when he announces that he's heading for the potty, so that's the question he'll ask us when we head in there ourselves. He still has a hard time respecting it…"
TommysMommy replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"Himself has always been a private pooper. If you turned around and he suddenly wasn't there, you could guarantee that he was somewhere having poop. Sadly, he does not seem to be able to grant others the same privilege!

Boring User Name replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"My 2-year-old has insisted upon privacy while pooping since he tried out the potty six months ago. I have no idea where he got this idea as he certainly walks in on me (or at this age, I leave it open so I can hear what the heck he is doing while…"

"Ah, the backpack. I don't know how many mornings we were halfway to the bus stop, which is a hike, and I'd notice she was backpack-less. I'd make her run back to the house and get her bag, and then she'd whine all the way to the…"
Kristi commented on Egggirl's blog post 'Seven lessons learned the first real week of motherhood'"Seven? Your kid stays in bed until SEVEN? My three year old gets up at 5:30-5:45 no matter when she goes to bed.
Kiss that beautiful child who sleeps until seven."
"Big O only started insiting on potty privacy around age 7. This road only goes one way, since she'll happily barge in on me without waiting for a "come in" when she knocks. I don't mind so much if I'm just quickly peeing,…"
ks replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"N has also entered that phase. I just tell him that it is private behavior and his bed or the bathroom are the appropriate places for that sort of thing.

MamatothaMax replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"We laid down the law about the potty this past year. (my boys are 7, 4, and 5m) I just stressed the need for privacy while I went.

Egggirl replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"And, by the way, I forgot to mention that I am dealing with my own issues trying to feel comfortable being naked in front of her. Probably a really healthy thing for my body image, at least now that she's stopped telling me I'm fat, which…"
Floor Pie replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"My kids are 6 and 3 and I've started insisting on bathroom privacy. In the beginning, they would sometimes barge right in if I didn't lock the door, and or keep trying the knob or bang on the door if it was locked. But that's…"

Seven lessons learned the first real week of motherhood
Posted on June 28, 2010 at 9:30am 5 Comments 0 Likes
The official first week was spent in San Diego at Legoland, Seaworld, beaches, etc., and didn't give me much of a taste of real life with child. This past week was the first time I had to get up early and help her get ready, give her breakfast, pack a lunch, and drive her to day care, put her to bed every night, etc. Here are just a few of the lessons I learned:
1. A five-year-old cannot be expected to climb into a car seat while wearing a backpack.
2. Explicit directions and… Continue

I've been a stepmom for 12 days now. But we just say mom, or mommy, or this morning, mama. I think I'll call her Ladybug. I did a search on Offsprung and didn't see anyone else using that name for their kid. I forgot to mention on my profile that I'm geeky about names and naming. I've been thinking of her handle since last fall when her dad and I had only been dating about four months.

The Oracle said… - Glad you're back! We have a new semi-official welcome thread here if you'd like to re-introduce yourself beyond your blog post! Then feel free to roam around, explore, post, comment, etc. at your whim. And please message Alan or me if you have any questions or problems with the site. Preferably Alan, since he pretty much just sits on his ass all day otherwise.

- Hmmm...I never knew all that about you! Well, I knew the part about you being related to me and my kids. But not the rest of it. And I now have to assume the "favorites" are genetically influenced.
