My mom once told me I can read her high school journals after she's dead and I was all like "No thank you. I don't even want to read my own, why would I want to read yours???"

Your words meant alot.

I suppose I was making assumptions too. I am west coast, but most definitely not affluent. Not all daycares are year round, but it isn't out of the norm here either.

Most preschools are private, daycare like operations and are year round. Pre-Ks that are part of a public schools or Head Start programs use the September-June schedule. My kid's daycare has a preschool program that she will go to when she's old enough.

I coached a high school dance team and each year we would have to teach girls how to fold their uniforms because they had no idea how. Their moms did everything for them. We had to teach one girl how to sweep the floor. I vowed that my kid would know how to do chores.

1. Freddy Nefler does most of the laundry, actually. I'm eternally thankful to his mother for raising a self-sufficient person who understands that marriage is a partnership. (Unlike his father who believed that women are responsible for the house and men are responsible for the yard.)

Oh god, yes! Little Nefler likes to hoist herself so she's balancing on the edge. Not quite climbing up on the table but definitely taunting me at the same time. She gives me that shit eating grin that says "See Mama? I'm not on the table!" We've got some boundary testing going on at Casa Nefler.

I was 12 the first time and it was awesome. My kid is not quite two, so we've got a while before we go with kids, but I still can't wait. Part of me wants to go without her, just so I can have one last kid free trip, but that probably won't happen.

I love Disneyland/world and I don't care. It is magical. I can't wait to take my kid(s) there someday (when they're old enough to walk and go on all the rides, but young enough to believe in the magic the way only a child can). It's cool if it's not your thing, fewer people in line ahead of me!

So glad I'm not the only one who's mind went straight there too. And if the wedding was on Prince Edward Island, that's all the proof I need!

I don't know of any either. I pretty much started staying away from all message boards after about 6 month because people are nuts. I second the idea of a Jezebel parent board. I'd love to be able to talk with moms who don't make me go Hulk smash.

She's not quite two. I think I caught it early enough.

I thought it looked like a paisley mullet.

I'd be so mad if someone cut my kid's hair without permission! As for those photos, at least you'll have some nice, embarrassing photos to lord over her when she gets older. :)

My daughter lost the hair on the top of her head about three weeks after she was born. She looked like a little old man (most babies do, though). I called it her "hedge around the edge". It never bothered me if someone thought she was a boy.

Yes! This was my first thought. I do not understand the point of these things. Weird.

Look Who's Talking Now. The third installment in the Look Who's Talking series. The dogs talk in this one.

In addition to all the suggestions, I'd add the Underground City tour. It's a nice piece of Seattle history. They even have a nighttime one for 21 and over only. Also ride the monorail. It's touristy but fun!

Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows! Forever Young Adult (foreveryoungadult.com) has a GG rewatch post every Wednesday if you're interested. They just started season 2. They even made a drinking game!

Of course. There are actual books that continue the stories of these characters, but sure. Let's just make a crappy reboot instead.
