do you make an effort to hear megillas eichah? I know it is not required for women and it is difficult with kids to schedule going. just curious how many people go...

I haven't in many years, but my kids are getting older now. What age is old enough to bring to shul for Eicha?

I stopped going when I had kids. By the time my kid were big enough for me to go, I had so much difficulty fasting that I don't leave the house at all on Tisha b'Av.

Blocks, Legos, coloring pictures, play doh. What does your toddler like to do?

I havent gone in about 5 years but some years my yishuv has a second later reading for whomever may have missed the first one and it is not always all women. There have been men at the second reading as well.

Read? Listen to an online shiur while your toddler is playing? Or turning the house upside down? Wink

I don't go to shul to hear the megillah because it's past DD's bedtime. I did find it online here, so I was able to listen from home.

I can't go because of the kids, but I listen to it online. I find that it helps set the tone for me because elsewise things are just pretty much the same. Take care of clean up after kids bed time and supper etc. this keeps me focused. The 'niggun' that it's leined with always conjures up sad feelings, coupled with the words...well, I guess that's the point.

I voted yes b/c I heard eichah but not in shul. I heard it via chabad.com. There was also a yutorah link to hear eichah.

Yes, or sort of, because I went to hear Eicha leined by my son at a home minyan down the block.

for the first time in 18 years I went to hear Eicha in the evening, the kids are growing up.
(I also did not have to go to the women's reading on Purim).

May this be our last Tisha b'Av fast.

Make an effort? I missed it when I had children to attend to. Now I can and do. My fasting is not significantly impacted (B"H for Kalei Tzom).
I do kinnos at home over the internet.

I do now that my kids are big. I never thought of listening over the phone all the years I couldn't go. What a shame; it would have made such a difference in my Tisha B'av evening. In the morning, when the kids were young, I'd stay home and read the Churban Bais Hamikdosh in the Tzenah Urenah. Now, I go to the Kinos gathering in Yeshiva Ketana which is so inspirational and moving.
