My baby fa
Hi there,
I'm wanting to buy my 16 month old his first table and chairs. There are just soooo many to choose from! So I'm wondering your thoughts on what's good and bad eg
Round table vs square
Wood vs plastic
Bench style / picnic table or individual chairs (with backs or just stools?)
Are the ones with the built in bowl in the middle useful (to put crayons etc in)
Did u get one with drawers or not?
Anything to add that's helpful much appreciated!
PS - I'm in Australia
Thank you!
Answer
I like the square tables- they're easier to put in an out of the way corner!
Wooden ones look nicer, but the plastic ones do less damage to rough and tumble kids who run into them.
Individual chairs, I prefer backs but my son doesn't care.
I haven't purchased one with the built in bowl so I can't really say how good that is!
The ones we have don't have drawers (yes we have several!)
My mum has the Ikea Mammut table and stools for her place, my son really likes them. http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/30176644

At our place we have a square plastic table chairs that my MIL picked up from cheapie shop, my son loves that he can drag them all over the house. We also have a metal set purchased from a garden shop for outside use. We are looking at buying the Lego table for him too- he has a HUGE collection of Lego from his fathers childhood, plus hand me down Lego from his cousins.

launch table anxieties?

OK so I have a problem, in a week I will be returning back to school after winter break and the school decided to change my lunch, seperating me from my older sister and her table with people I'm at least comfortable with and I just don't know what to do. I have strong social anxieties, its becoming quite a problem. Because of these anxieties I tend to pass through life completely unnoticed cause I do tend to be quite boring, but I do have friends though not many. And now I have this lunch table situation. I am thinking about sitting on one of the benches and eat alone because again I'm not really noticed so I don't really care. But does it sound OK to you guys? Do you think people will actually notice and further my rep as a loner? If you think so then can you guys give me pointers on finding a new table? Any advice helps!

Okay, so I'm going to take an educated guess here and guess that you are highly observant, but a tiny bit socially awkward.
Your conversation leads me to believe that you are in middle school and not high school.
Welcome to middle school. Hormones mess with everyone. Every kid is growing in weird ways, getting parts they didn't know they would get and things covering other things, that they didn't ask for.
Yep, it's all gross and weird. But every single kid around you is going through the same thing.
See that beautiful girl that everyone looks at? She stares at herself in the mirror for 3 hours every night, but posts the best posts pretending she's awesome. See that guy that is seriously tall and makes jokes and laughs all the time? He's seriously depressed every night thinking of the next thing to be funny or he won't be popular. That cute girl with the glasses in the corner? The guys that make fun of her glasses really want to be her boyfriend, but they're too immature to even talk to her. That other guy who's the sports awesome guy? Every night he is tough on himself and maybe his dad yells at him to be better, stronger, faster.
Every teen has issues, but at least you are more mature to see that you may want to be more social.
Look around, be observant. There are probably a bunch of kids that want to have some quiet time, or quieter time at lunch, not just you.
Walk up, sit down, say 'hey', eat your lunch, pack up and say 'maybe see you guys tomorrow'.
Girls and guys always notice the one that is fine with just being quiet.
You don't have to be the class clown, the sports guy, the over stylish girl, the gossip or whatever. Be you.
Seek out others that are quiet. You will probably find they are not so quiet, they are just stifled by overly obnoxious people and can't be themselves.
Use your observational powers.
It's very obvious that you are more mature and thoughtful than some of your classmates.
And if you want to have a lunch or two a week outside by yourself, I myself call that 'collecting my cookies'.
As you go through life, there is less and less silence. Grab those silent moments when you can. They are very few and very far between.
Good luck. I see things easier for you each and every day.
