Our daughter got stung three times today by either wasps or yellow jackets by our neighbor's swing set. I feel awful for her because she has been waiting months to play with them. Benadryl, Tylenol, Calamine and a 2 hour snooze fixed her right up

Thanks folks!
@Orlando Penguin Might have to knit him one or overpay on Etsy. I'd love him to have one, though.

Hmm, my kids excema is worse during the winter due to drier air.My son has always dealt with mild excema but it seems to be getting worse this time of year.
I’m wondering if it’s environmental allergies - like carpet or pet dander? I’m assuming you’ve been home more since March.
My oldest had horrendous dander allergies when he was a toddler. Once we pulled the carpet out of his room and play area, he improved almost immediately. He was covered in red, pus scabs all over his face and joints. It looked like burns. Most of it cleared up in 3-4 days after we put in laminate flooring. He still gets a little on his arms and ear lobes in the winter, but nothing like it was.

Congrats kane. What a blessing

Wouldn't surprise me. He was tested about a year ago and came back negative (tested along with his dairy allergy) but perhaps he developed one. We've ran an air purifier in his room pretty much non stop for the past year, though it could still be a dander allergy.Hmm, my kids excema is worse during the winter due to drier air.My son has always dealt with mild excema but it seems to be getting worse this time of year.

We took my daughter's phone away from her today because she's being a little ****, and my wife happened to notice a long message in her FB Messenger for Kids app from one of her friends. Apparently, my daughter was being rude to her (said 'stop texting me' when she didn't feel like talking instead of being nicer about it). Told her that that's inappropriate and that she needs to be nicer, even if she doesn't feel like talking on her phone. Then I get to the next message, from the kid's mom. Long ass paragraph about how my daughter bullied the kid for 6 years, she's a bad kid, etc etc. This was weeks ago, apparently. Not a single word to us, the parents.
My wife refuses to give me this NTP66's phone number, because I was against letting them be friends on Messenger in the first place due to the fact that this woman is a whackjob. She once accused my daughter of not wanting to sit next to her at daycare because she was black, WHEN SHE WAS TWO **** YEARS OLD. All of the daycare teachers knew she was a pain in the **** ass, too.

Wait, so the mom sent your daughter a long paragraph? Whackjob confirmed.

Yeah, I'm a little confused on the story here. How old is your daughter? And a message was sent to your daughter from the mom??? That's a bit bizarre.

Yep, the mom sent my 7 year old the message (through the FB Messenger for Kids app, mind you). I already took the phone away from my kid for being rude, but I just can't believe they would say something to her directly instead of acting like an adult and contacting one of us. I may be an dadhole at times, too, but I wouldn't pull something like this.

Your 7 year old has a phone? Yeesh.
Is that normal? I didn't grow up in the cell phone era, so I don't know.

It's an old spare phone that has no cell service, just wifi. No web browser, heavily locked down, and parental controls enabled. She uses it for Facebook Messenger for Kids for her friends and family, and Duolingo, nothing else.Your 7 year old has a phone? Yeesh.

On one hand, this is a glimpse into your future (and all of us dads with young girls)
On the other hand, this woman is cray cray and her daughter may be reaping those qualities. Is your daughter really friends with this girl, or sort of "forced" into being friends with her due to the situation?
