  • My kids are just winding down a 'first week of school party' at our house. I'm not sure how many teens we peaked at... Around 12 14-17 yr olds. This is a semi constant around here, roughly 1-2x a month for most of the year. I'm sure at some point it'll happen without us here.

    Global sea surface temperature is heading sky high

    If you haven't seen these charts, they're a bit scary. The global surface temperature of the oceans continues to break records every couple of days. And is heading nowhere but up, up, up.

  • We were/are always just honest with our kids. No, we don't think there's a god/goddess/whatever. When we/grandma/grandpa/whoever dies, they're just gone. Nobody knows where the universe/world comes from. As far as anyone knows it's several billion years old. Explain the big bang as best as we know it. Etc.

    There's no 'right' way for so many things when it comes to kids. Ours know that many people believe in a god. We don't. That's ok.

  • Eh, I wound up with a YouTube premium subscription years ago when I subscribed to Google play music, way back when it was YouTube Red. I cannot imagine going without at this point. It became YouTube music at some point, and... Yeah.

  • Yes. My boys, (now 13& 16) grew up camping on many a spring/summer/fall weekend. Being without tech is key. That's half the point and fun of it. Let them bring toys of all sorts for both inside and outside the tent.

    Mine always used to bring army men damned near everywhere. I'm sure there's piles of them at dozens of sites we camped at over the years. Water guns if it's warm. Glow sticks for at night. Play in the mud and the rain. Get dirty. stay up late.

    Extra socks and maybe a change of shoes. Let them go barefoot. Don't over plan too much. See what's up. And go with it. We're getting ready for our vaca ourselves 8+ days of camping across the northeast:) it should be grand
