What would you say?

My 11 year old just got invited to a graduation party for a senior in his class. I don't want to say no but I feel like i should. I'm assuming it's being thrown by their parents but idk them and like i said I'm assuming. My 11 year old can't answer the questions I'm asking without saying idk. So I'm uncomfortable with saying yes then also it's on a weekday and they have school still the next day their friends don't because they graduated. I'm also assuming there will be 18 year old. And I don't think we're invited so idk what to say?

Excuse me if im ignorant cuz my kids 11 and I never know what's going on in school but they have classes with seniors?

Thats a tough one does he have a phone with life 360? Do you know of the kids who's throwing the party? My thoughts are if its during daylight and he can be tracked then I would let my son go im always trying to make sure he "lives his life" but its hard in today's world....will there be parents most likely but lets be honest or if it were me im sure id be hosting talking to family id be keeping an eye out but not giving the actual supervision kids would need but again 18 to 11 that parent most likely thinks it'll be seniors I would guess... id be uncomfortable too but if he really wanted to and its during the week and could be tracked checked in on ect id probably let him go and still stress cuz thats the mom i am 🤣

I understand. My 11yr old was apart if the big brother/big sister program. His "big brother " was 18 and a senior. If my son got involved to his graduation we would have taken him and one of us or both of us would stay the whole time. I wouldn't just drop him off and leave.

I would accept only under certain conditions meaning discussing with your child about saying no to things they are not comfortable and them having a way to reach you. I would probably do a drop off situation for a shorter time frame like 8-9:30 that way they are still able to be part of it but not staying late. They can make the appearance and congratulate the graduate but not join the later party with older teens

Do I need to call?

I’m 27+6, and baby was SUPER quiet this morning. She’s now started moving normally again.

Do I still need to call in or can I just continue monitoring?

Party Bags

Where do we stand with party bags? 😫
My daughters second birthday is October and we don’t really know LOADS of kids, literally maybe a handful and majority are family, and we’re having a party for her like we did for her first but unsure wether to do party bags.

My nieces second birthday was over the weekend and they done party bags but it was all small things that I actually had to confiscate as choking hazards 😫

Do we do them this young? My other niece last year complained there was no party bags 🤣🤣

First appointment

Is it normal to not have the first appointment until like 8 weeks? Feels like a while but I literally have no idea.

Induction window

Advice please 😊
I was given an induction window Friday - Today and was told I could expect a call day or night to go to hospital to be induced. They haven’t phoned me as of yet, is it worth ringing them or waiting it out? Has anyone else experienced this? Not really sure what I do if they don’t call me tonight.
Thank you!!

Braxton hicks?

I think I’m having occasional Braxton Hicks contractions today - I can’t be sure though but it feels like a period cramps/squeezing really low down in my abdomen.
Anyway, they’ve been really irregular, like 1 every few hours for a few mins, I’m just wondering if I should maybe track them on the contraction timer app just to be sure there’s no pattern? Has anyone else done this? I don’t wanna overreact 😂.
