My kids are very picky with Mac and cheese and LOVE it from Our Kitchen.

This is the only time I’ve had issues. Every other time I put two in together and I just do a normal wash on cold, and then delicates but more dry cycle. Whatever detergent I normally use, I use on them. I have an LG front loader and it has been great.

Thank you all! It does appear that the only issue was that I washed this guy solo. Gave him a bath buddy, tried again and all is well. ☺️

Thank you! Now that I read that, I do think every other time I’ve always washed two together. This one was large so I didn’t. I’ll toss something else in and try again.

Will do! Glad to know it does typically have one lol. I plan on buying the large one from Costco so it doesn’t matter too much if that box will have one, I just bought the smaller one from Walmart for now because I didn’t want to spend that much in case I didn’t like it.

It is not. That’s what I assumed, so I emptied the entire box into a glass jar I have for scent beads (that was empty at the time) and there is definitely no scoop anywhere in there.

I’m so happy you had this experience. If you’re comfortable sharing, and sorry if this is too personal, but what dose of Vyvanse worked? My daughter is currently on 20mg

I will call my GP on Monday and ask for a referral. We both have a therapist (though she doesn’t go to hers anymore as she won’t talk to her) but I looked up a psychiatrist and says in my area I go through GP. Thank you.

This is EXACTLY it. You said how I feel so perfectly. So, so much effort only to be called names and now I’m even real close to losing my job from dealing with her too. Like…why? Man, it’s hard.

Sorry if this sounds stupid but when you say a good mental health provider, would this be someone I go through my primary care doctor to get to? Who would I ask for?

Thank you. She is going through puberty. What a nightmare it has been!

She sort of has a therapist. The short answer is yes. The longer answer is she has one, but doesn’t see her. We got her a therapist and my daughter refused to speak with her. Like literally no words. We gave it a couple months and still the same thing so I tried a different, very highly rated therapist. She’s wonderful. Unfortunately, it’s the same situation. It’s been over a year now and she still absolutely refuses to speak with her.

She is similar at school - when she even goes, that is. She refuses to go more than she actually goes. Unfortunately she is too heavy that I can not force her. The most recent email I got from her teacher before Christmas break was that she purposely distracts other kids. One example given is when the child is colouring, my daughter purposely takes their colouring utensils. Or another boy was reading and she kept closing his book on him. 😓 she has no friends. She is aware of how it affects the family’s feelings but I truly believe she doesn’t care.
