My daughter expressed concern about having to do a lockdown drill at school this week.
We were just reading before bed and she out of nowhere said that a voice came on the speaker and said lockdown and everyone had to hide by their lockers in the classroom to hide from bad guys.
She was adamant it was real and slightly scared but didn’t say much more. Besides there were bad guys and they had to hide from them.
How would you approach this with her? I don’t want her to be scared. But I feel she should always take it serious in case it were real and not a drill.
I hate these drills. We’re doing ours on Friday. I would just let her know that it’s practice in case of an emergency and that we practice those the same way we practice fire drills each month. A school fire almost never happens, but we need to know what to do if there is one. Same thing with this drill - we just need to be ready to listen to our teacher if there was an emergency.
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
I have no advice, but this just brought back memories I forgot existed in my head of school lockdowns or the tornado one. Crazy. I hate that we have to fear school now bc of all of the shootings etc. I especially feel for the kids with anxiety.
