Kid-Free travel destinations Our family loves to travel. We have made it a priority to open our kids eyes to different places and experiences around the world. They are genuinely fantastic travel companions. That being said, my husband and I are wanting to take a trip with our them for our 20th anniversary. However, I want it to be to somewhere that I would genuinely NOT w…

Withdrawal for 529 now or save for my Kid? I just created a 529 for my son who is 1 years old. I also started a masters degree. Should I use the funds to pay for my books or continue to let it grow for my son? I am listed as the beneficiary and will swap it once I complete my degree in two years. Are there any benefits to using the money now? Or if I don’t need it shouldn’t I just save …

When you were a kid, you had that one “singing into your hairbrush like a rockstar” song, right? Admit it! I must confess: every time “Eternal Flame” by the Bangles came on the radio when I was a kid, I would grab the nearest microphone-shaped object and sing my heart out along with the song. Oh, who am I kidding? I would still do it today! Which song held that special place in your young life? submitted by /u/Aprowl

Songs you didn’t get as a kid Long story made shorty but I was born in ’92 and raised by my grandparents so I spent a lot of time with my uncle who still lived at home with his parents. Around the late 90s and early 2000s we’d watch music channels in his room and, when I was still too young to appreciate it, Neil Young’s song Harvest Moon was in heavy rotation. I genuinely d…

Send a Pencil-and-Paper Battleship Game in Your Kid’s Lunchbox I like to send little notes in my kid’s lunches, but “I love you, have a good day” gets old after a while. For my youngest, I send corny jokes instead. But I found the perfect thing for my 11-year-old: a pencil-and-paper game of Battleship. Read more…

Kid Bedrooms Looking for advice on practical kid sleeping solutions. First photo is my youngest boys room (6, hence the mess). Second photo is my middle son (12). My oldest (15) has his own room in the basement. Short story – we have two small girls who will occasionally be staying with us overnight (they are 5 and 2) and we need creative ideas for how to ge…

We live and work in relatively affordable part of Brooklyn NY but still it’s very expensive. moving is not an option right now. We were struggling and each making 60K until this year, now in a better position but scared to be broke again by having a second. We’re both 35. Income: I’m…

Bluey a kid show that EVERYBODY should watch I just wanted to come along and talk about Bluey. The best kids show EVER MADE. Not even an exaggeration. The bar for kids shows is very low anyway, but Bluey raises it by a mile. The should could be only half as good and it would still be the best kids show ever made. That’s how good it is. Firstly, what is Bluey about and why it’s so great? F…

LPT – Tie your shoes properly now that you aren’t a kid. Most people take their laces and do the left over right and under then pull, make the loop and go around from the back and through the hole you create (send the bunny around the tree and into the hole) and pull tight. When you are little this is hard for your small grubby little hands as you don’t have the dexterity. Instead make your loop and a…

LPT: If you want to learn about something new, and aren’t sure where to start, look for a kid’s book on the subject at your library! Kid’s books are designed to be engaging and specifically filled with interesting tidbits. Once you have a base knowledge, material for an older audience becomes more accessible. submitted by /u/karmacatma

What TV show did you love as a kid that could never air today? For me, it’s The Dukes of Hazzard. The confederate flag on the iconic General Lee would never fly today. A lot of cartoons like Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny used stereotypical characters, even some using blackface. It never occurred to me as a kid that such things were a problem at all. What shows do you fondly remember but also cringe a littl…

First kid turned one and we still have no idea what to do savings wise for him Our family has saved about $1500 in the first year for our first kid but honestly it’s sitting in a “normal” savings account. I also have a CD with another $1200 that I will be closing soon. I anticipate more lucrative years as this year was financially rough for us. College savings is not necessarily the goal for him. I think I want to give hi…

The Easiest Way to Train Any Kid to Be More Minimalist I have long given up the fantasy that I could live in a minimal, streamlined environment with two children. I declared us a family of maximalists and let the piles of art projects, stuffed animals, building materials, and books grow like snow drifts from the corners of every room. When I’m sick of tripping over… Read more…

Ugly Kid Joe – America’s Least Wanted The tail end of hair bands. This album was probably thought to be a joke. But wow as I listen to it now, it’s actually quite amazing. The guitar work is so good. Panhandlin’ Prince, So Damn Cool, Don’t Go. Some of my favorites. submitted by /u/workhorse_crusader
