Hi, all, I have discovered a down side to the SCA. We have been playing since my daughter Moira was 3 months old and have attended events fairly regularly. We...
I didn't see any replies to this thread yet, so I thought I'd throw my hat in. First, to qualify... I have only my 10 month old daughter, and I haven't yet run...
I see it kind of like going to a BBQ at a friend's house. There are lots of people, and no you don't know *everyone* personally, but that doesn't mean that...
It's hard to explain to a child of five the difference between strangers that you don't know and strangers that you do know. The woman on the playground was...
I thought that some of you would be interested in doing this for an event or for just doing it with your own kids. I have only boys here and thought I would...
Heya! Just an update to say hello to all... My son turned one last week! Wow, that year went fast. We skipped last year's Pennsic because he was only one month...
Hi Elinor and others :) Happy first b-day to your son! Time sure flies. Good luck with your sewing and I hope that you all enjoy Pennsic. Pennsic isn't even...
For anyone who is thinking of taking young ones to Pennsic or some such event, you can take a look at posts from a couple years ago on the subject. We had...
All I can think to say is...you're a stronger person than I! I can't even imagine taking all those kids to somewhere like Pennsic. It must have been total...
Elinor, It really wasn't chaos, it was more the feelings of isolation than anything else that made it difficult. The older kids are really good and very good ...
I thought about revisiting this topic, too, now that I have some actual camping experience under my belt! Our first camping trip was a disaster, I'm hoping...
Gyszel, I would be interested to hear what you think worked and didn't work from your last weekend (and the one coming up) and the ages of your kids. I'll ...
Our local war has classes for children, starting about age 6. My son looks forward to going to "medieval school" all summer. Camping with other people with...
THis sounds like a lot of fun for the kids! I have never camped in a setting like that or had such children's entertainment available for my children. Sounds...
... I have an 11yr old step-son who has been in the SCA since his time in the womb, and at the time, my daughter was 8 months old. The 11yr old was no ...
Unfortunately, part of the medieval model is that the woman has the primary responsibility for the children. My DH spends most of his time volunteering ...
We are going to try our first camping experience with the baby this weekend. It's a 3-hour drive away, so if it doesn't work out, I hope there's a motel...
... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kid_camp_Pennsic/ I am looking for someone to take over moderating it too. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? ...
HUGE issue with me... 50% because Bridget would rather spend time with me (13m), and 50% because Bill doesn't want to be tethered or have to attend to her...
... We've set it up so I get 30-90 mins by myself every night after dinner. The time is variable, because sometimes Zach needs me sooner rather than later. In...
I totally agree with both of you on this. I am one who agrees and lives with traditional gender roles...I stay home, he works. Most of the childcare and...
I don't have a comprehensive list here and my mind is scattered in a million different directions...waiting for one baby to wake up hungry, rocking another...
... Last year I pre-measured cups of sugar in ziploc bags with Koolaid packs. Then I could pour it into a 2 quart jug, fill with cool spring water, shake, and...
... That's it...thank you!! :) What do you need a moderator to do? Gyszel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Vote for the stars of Yahoo!'s...
I FINALLY found rings the right size and guage for my slings!!! Woohoo! I am happy about that-now we have something to carry the babies around in at events....
We have had a full camping season under our belts (last year) when my son was about 4 to 8 months. This year we have pulled back a bit from the SCA (that...
I know this is not an option for all, but I recommend "camp grandma". Both my husband & I fight rattan, so it is not fair to ask one spouse or other to ...
This was a great list! Thanks for taking the time. Yngvildr ... From: Erin-Lee McGuire [mailto:nadjabear@...] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 11:12 AM To:...
I think the main problems I had two years ago at Pennsic were: -we were camped with a group we knew but were not members of -no one else had kids (except for...
... They are useful for so many things! We forgot a dishpan when camping last year, and a rubbermaid tub makes an excellent dishpan, that even has a lid, so...
