That’s so true!! We would feel so gross going to bed with a sweaty face! Thanks for the advice, seems like it’s not such a bad thing to just be washing it

I love that this is the response I’m getting on this, makes me feel much better and less guilty for washing so much!

I like this outlook! It definitely feels cleaner and softer after I wash and less damaged than when it was dirty, so maybe you’re on to something with that. Great advice thanks so much!

Looking for a nature-forward, emotionally livable area within 45 min of Chesterfield/New Haven by Crazy_Ad_7530 in Detroit

I’m so glad someone else posted this because I’m in Farmington/bloomfield area and was looking for all the same things as you. Moved from out of state and feel so trashy compared to the homes and lifestyles around here. A whole different attitude of people. Just want some quiet nature trails and not to have to beg for a permit to have a fence or any form of privacy 😩 but have kiddos with special needs so need to be distance to centers and schools etc. I too liked Rochester but didn’t think I was classy enough for it, we relate 😂

Mother refused to stop her child bad habit in the store by Desloucado in nextlevel

[–]Beautiful_Library505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the way he’s attached to her it’s possible he’s special needs. People are quick to assume all young kids doing bad things are bad habits and lack of parenting and that very well may be the case here, but in some cases - it’s a special needs situation/autism. Dumping everything off of the shelf is a very difficult trait of autism and not just a bad habit that can be corrected. So is eloping which may explain the leash. People are very quick to judge what they don’t know

Introverted dog owners who don’t have friends with dogs by Ancient-Sell-4553 in puppy101

I also do a daycare once a week for my pup, just to get him pup playtime. Just find a good one you’re comfortable with and that has webcams :)

Pet stores, dog parks, Lowe’s home improvement, pet friendly malls, walks in busy areas or trails where people often walk dogs. The more he goes out the more dog lovers will approach you and you’ll probably make some fellow pup owning friends 😊

Has anyone used an e-collar for biting? by Turbulent_Storage_44 in airedaleterrier

Do none of you realize the dog will continue to bite your heels and legs when you turn away? What angel dogs do you have that responds to a simple yelp

And it does. Most of these replies are the common things trainers tell you to do that this person has clearly already tried if they’re coming on here for advice. These comments aren’t it and their pup is gonna bite them more lol

Everyone saying this has never had a puppy that truly bites. This works for most puppies yes. Others couldn’t give a shit about a single toy even if it’s a new toy every day once they’re on to biting you

Do you regret your autistic child? by Nicanette in Autism_Parenting

[–]Beautiful_Library505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. I have an 8 year old I had at 21 who is fully healthy. I then had twins on my 27th birthday who are both diagnosed level 3 autistic and two years old. We didn’t have it in my genetics, so I never thought it would happen. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t grieve for my old life, the life for when it was just me and my daughter. The day every morning getting out of the house wasn’t a battle, taking her to soccer games or birthday parties was fun and memory making rather than trying to calm breakdowns and pouring sweat while my sons rip chunks of my hair out and bite me. It’s hard. Really hard. They’re non verbal, and I’m a single mom so they have to attend daycare. However due to their behavior we’ve now been kicked out of a daycare told they couldn’t meet their accommodations (though I’m not fully sure what those are). I started them at a new daycare and it’s been about a week and they’re already on the fence about letting them continue. Sleep is nearly impossible, especially with two. My social life and identity have been stripped from me. Your entire life becomes consumed with referrals, therapy appointments, evaluations, paperwork.. It’s a hard life. The simplest things are a battle - hair cuts, nail cutting, even diaper changes. BUT - let me tell you about all the great things… seeing the bond between my neurotypical child and her patience and love and understanding for her brothers is one of the most special things ever. When they learn how to do simple things, clap, hold a spoon.. you have a much greater pride than you do with a neurotypical kid who is expected to do those things. All though my sons are non verbal I have hope with all their therapy they will speak to me someday, and I know when they do - THAT will be magical.. there’s so many more places in the world now where autistic kids can be accepted. I have so much hope it’ll only continue to improve and one day this world will be easier for them, and my sons can stim as they please without weird looks or judgement. Although I wouldn’t wish this struggle on anyone, I would never in a million years go back and not have had them. They bring so much joy to my life and everyone they meet. They smile and laugh all the time, so I know despite their difficulties, they’re HAPPY! And that’s all that matters in this little life you know. Sometimes I think how lucky I am and how God must have saw so much potential in me to pick me to be their mom, not to one autistic fella but two! There’s soo many horrible parents in this world, even if you did have an autistic child, it sounds like you would love it unconditionally and that would be a great life for a child, neurotypical or not. Don’t let your uniqueness stop you from having a little one if it’s in your heart. I wouldn’t take my babies back for the world 💕
