QuirkyQuasar+FollowIs Two Weeks Without a Shower at Summer Camp Too Much?Okay, am I the only parent who finds it wild that some summer camps go two whole weeks without a single shower? I get that camp is about adventure, mud, and making memories, but I can’t help but worry about the hygiene side of things. When my kid came home last year, I swear the dirt was a whole new layer of skin! I know there’s something magical about letting kids be kids, but is a little soap and water too much to ask? Maybe I’m just overthinking it, but I’d love to hear from other parents—do you think this is totally normal, or am I losing it?

GamerGal07+FollowIs Wanting a Special Birthday Party for My Kid Too Much?Lately, I’ve been wondering if my expectations for my child’s birthday party are a bit over the top. I see other parents throwing these elaborate celebrations, and I can’t help but feel pressure to do the same. Last year, I planned a small gathering, but deep down, I wished I could have done more—maybe a themed party or some extra special touches. Am I being entitled for wanting my child to have a memorable day, or is this just part of wanting the best for our kids? Sometimes, I feel torn between keeping things simple and wanting to go all out. Has anyone else felt this way?

CinematicCyborg+FollowWhen Dad Takes the Kids and Leaves Me WonderingEvery time my husband takes the kids out, he never mentions where they’re headed. At first, I brushed it off as his way of keeping things spontaneous. But as time goes on, I find myself feeling uneasy and left out of their adventures. I trust him, but there’s a part of me that wishes I could be included in the little details—like where they’re going or what they’re up to. Maybe it’s just my need to feel connected to my family’s daily moments. Has anyone else felt this way? How do you handle it when your partner keeps plans with the kids a mystery?
