If you hold a kid back for just sports reasons, you're an effing psycho. GospelSooooooo....what's the deal with the starting kids late/grade retention/holding back? I guess I didn't realize how rampant it was until a some recent anecdotal cases of my kids' classmates and some of my friends' kids has shocked me. What I figured it was percent wise was 2% when in reality seems like a quarter of the kids are held back.
- what is the reason? Any legit ones?
- what if everyone held back, would people hold back 2 years?
- aren't there some pretty blatant downsides?
I mean, this had never entered my thoughts with my kids in the slightest. I asked my hen about it (works at my kids' school) and she said it is off the charts ridiculous. Hell, she told me our youngest is actually 3 days from the cutoff and could easily be held back but....ummm, no.
Barring special/extreme circumstances, shouldn't people just play the hand you're dealt? Just seems like trying to pamper little Zane and Eva-Emmersön is actually a net negative.

Dream feeding FTW.My little girl is 4 months old and is experiencing "sleep regression" and is waking up every 3 hours. We are going to try to let her self-soothe a little bit meaning we sit there still at 3 AM while she cries for about 15 minutes and then one of us breaks and rocks her to sleep.
If she wasn't so damn cute and I didn't love her as much as I do I would have throw her out our bedroom window about 2 weeks ago.
Congrats. Hope the wife does well. By all means, let the nurses give you some time, especially at night.Made is through the first 24 hours of farherhood successfully. Wife isn't in great shape so I've been doing most of the feeding and changing, the nurse taking her to the nursery for a few hours was a godsend.

Wow...cool to go back and read. Ended up really diving deep into football which has been a great experience. 10yo and 8yo both in their 3rd year of tackle and love it. 10yo has had incredible success....I see in the above post saying he was obsessed with football, that certainly continued...I think he really has a future in it. 8yo loves it as well albeit not as much. 6yo girl into gymnastics, freaking loves it.Coming into that age....6yo son refused to play anything for up until 10 months or so ago and now he would play sports all/air. Starting to see the craziness even with 2 days a week for him and one for 4yo it's a lot with my work/hen's carpooling. Can't imagine with the crap older kids do.
Speaking of flag football.....so my 6yo is obsessed with football and his been geeked out of his mind for flag this fall, told him I'd stripe the backyard for a field this summer to play flag with his friends and he almost passed out. That said, come to find out his school team for 1-2nd graders is tackle....I mean, cmon man. Basically just a team in a city league of 1st/2nd graders....this is absurd, yes?
I love football and whatnot and would allow my kids to play if they wanted but isn't that a little weird or is this accepted? My kids are on the small side per my Hen's genes, I have a hard time imagining kids being able to hold their heads up. On the flipside a quick google search showed kids at that age just running around like cats as per every other sport at that age, not Von checking fools across the middle.
Anyone had experiences?

Load up on the vasectomy podcasts.
That’s a fairly common side effect.Psssst. Those vasectomies don't work and they even screw things up. My wife had two kids after my vasectomy and they don't even look like me.
