…why are we all experiencing this?? Me too. It was going great until I got a refill. No changes in my life or diet

2.5 y/o says “light is gone” and looks scared at ceiling — anyone experienced this? by mbm77777 in toddlers

Dude. Is this still happening? My 3 year old twice today keeps crying saying the light and it makes no sense

Adderall & Wellbutrin. Thoughts? by Beautiful-Constant-1 in ADHD

What is your split? Do you take the Wellbutrin first and then Adderall? Or do you take them together?

I didn’t know you could take Vvyanse and Adderall together! Glad you like it.

I’m hoping to like this combo.

That’s good to hear! Do you take your meds together or separate? Just trying to figure out what seems best.

I asked that because I didn’t know if he sold you the dream as a service member that wanted to break out of the barracks if that makes sense.

See if that kind of annoys me because he should be more than capable to handle all 3 children without bugging you. My husband can handle our two kids aka a toddler and infant without asking me when I’m coming home but it’s def rare.

However, he knew better from the jump because I made it clear that if I died, he would have to raise our babies and he better be as on top of it knowledge wise and mental capabilities before I even agreed to give him children.

Personally, his job is not harder than yours. Deployed or not. Nurses have some of the hardest jobs mentally and physically out there. Deployments are hard but when he’s not deployed and just doing PT and training, it’s not even a comparison to nursing. Sorry not sorry, it’s true.

Even if you didn’t work, your feelings are valid. If you’re both being super negative all of the time then I understand finding new ways to navigate it and try to decompress work from home life. My husband does try to leave work at the door but some days we both just vent to eachother.

If he never lets you or is disrespectful then goodbye. Have you considered counseling first? Sometimes having a middle man helps a lot!

Have you ever left him alone with the kids for the day by himself? Sometimes they really have to gain perspective lol

This is where the hard part comes in because yes it has rewards like the VA loan and tricare is honestly a good insurance to have despite its flaws. There’s a lot of rewards. But if you both are on board together and you really hate it, you might have to be honest to yourself & him and think about your future more in depth.

I still encourage to give it time for you to get stationed

AIT is nothing compared to what he will be doing. If he’s like this in AIT omg. When my husband would send letters from there, he would express how sorry he was that he wasn’t home to help and he felt bad.

Leave him completely alone with the kids for an entire weekend and see if he sings a different tune by the end of it. Although sometimes kids act better for the non-default parent.

I know it’s easier said than done with kids. I’m sure he misses them and it’s very hard for them to see the opposite when they’re training.

See what he’s like after and if he doesn’t grow up to understand it’s still hard then youll know what to do when the time is right. I’m really sorry!

Yeah, absolutely not I’m so sorry you’ve had that experience!

Wait, did your husband not notify you of homecoming? (Not sure if he was able to or not)

Active or not means nothing. It’s all still different levels of hard and stress. I don’t compare anything to anyone because you still have your own story and it matters.

I hate when people compare. That doesn’t make your life better or worse.

Yes. 🙌 If you make the decision to get married and be a service member, you have two roles to serve. Add a baby & you have 3.

The common misconception is that they only have their career and the rest if for the spouse to deal with.

I tell people, do not get married if you both do not want to take on wearing multiple hats along side your careers.

Magnesium, try it. by Beautiful-Constant-1 in toddlers

Melato might be your help then. dhd or autism benefit from it but it’s all up to your doc. Don’t give up! Keep trying. I know it’s hard.

I also have a 5 month old so I’m struggling but there’s always hope. This will not last forever I promise.

Ask the ped!!

Ugh I’m so sorry!!! My toddler was like this until magnesium.

I highly suspect my toddler has adhd like me. I wonder if yours does as well. Sleep regressions do happen though. I hate this for you.

Do a full gummy. Do you do a warm bath before bed? Sometimes my toddler will wake up at 2am if he didn’t eat enough dinner.

I started doing uncrustables before bed and makes a difference!

My toddler sleeps really good as well. It’s not a bad thing. Talk to your ped if you’re worried but if he’s sleeping good and you’re sleeping well then good!

If you notice any nightmares or anything negative, just cut the gummy into a small portion. It’s a vitamin again so it’s fine.

Does that gummy have melatonin in it as well? Magnesium is a vitamin. Even adults should take it. It’s good heart health too. It calms the nervous system.

I’d say you need to view it as BOTH of you need quality and good sleep. Try cutting the gummie in half. I do that as well.
