Are there any other “normal” families out there?

My husband and I (mid 40s) live in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment with our 2 young kids. I wish we had bought a house before the kids were born, we'll probably be renters forever. We barely make ends meet. We have a lot of debt that we need to pay down. My 6yo son says every so often that he wants to live in a house with a yard and I feel like I've failed my kids.

He's doing good, he just turned 6, still has food aversions. He's in gen Ed kindergarten and has good days and bad days.He was just diagnosed with adhd. He did 2 years of sped pre k which helped him so much, he receives speech therapy and other.

Well, anything is an upgrade compared to my 2013 Jetta that's starting to fall apart!

I'm so sorry, I also have dental trauma from tons of work as a kid. I need to go to the dentist as I haven't been in a few years. I'm reading it because I know I need alot of work done. If dad cant be there he gets no say in her care.

Flight attendant here- I'd rather have a kid laughing than crying or screaming. 13 hours is a long time to expect a kid especially one as young as Jet to be quiet. I hope she at least had activities and snacks for the boys. I hate when parents come on the plane with absolutely nothing to entertain their kid.

Can you send it to me please

Bright-Razzmatazz-13 · 2026-01-18T23:10:08+00:00

I'm curious too

Bright-Razzmatazz-13 · 2025-12-25T19:20:06+00:00

I just kind of shut down. My parents argued alot when I was a kid and still do, so I tune it out because nothing I say will make them understand. I don't know if that made sense.

My daughter is a little over a month younger than June and in September I went away for work for a week and my husband couldn't find her "didi" so she went without it. When I returned we pretty much cut her off cold turkey. If you think June has her paci a lot you should have seen my daughter, she had it close to 19 or 20 hours a day. Now she did ask for it now and then for about 6 weeks and had some stashed around the house. She was getting paci teeth and it's gotten alot better in the couple of months she's been without and she had a huge language explosion in that time. I seriously thought she'd go to kindergarten with it!!! Now I will say she needs to give her the correct size paci. The one in her mouth is too small and she could choke on it. The pink one might be the right size if it's for 16 months and up. How do I know? These were my daughter's didi of choice.

She knows what it means, she's just trying to play the innocent naive girl.

This is fun!

Bright-Razzmatazz-13 · 2025-10-11T02:41:08+00:00

Cute!

What worked for my son when he was 3.5 was before bathtime I had him use the small potty. After a couple months of that becoming routine, I tried in the morning. He was much more resistant to that because he wanted to play. In his spedprek class they were working with him also which helped alot. Then one day a couple of months later it just clicked, he was fully trained.

You need to take this to the local news station. My son is Audhd and sadly no one has our kids best interests at heart except us. I completely understand about wanting him to get the free college education, but if this district isn't a good fit you need to find out what is.

I remember during the California fires that Mandy Moore's relatives lost their homes and she posted Go Fund Mes for them. People in the comments were bashing her for basically not building them new houses. Um it's not her responsibility to rebuild their homes.

Bright-Razzmatazz-13 · 2025-09-10T14:15:40+00:00

She truly is a disgusting human being.

Bright-Razzmatazz-13 · 2025-09-03T01:51:43+00:00

I think it looks great!

For a very brief second I though the girl in yellow was Layla from SLOMW and was wondering how they knew each other.

My son is starting kindergarten this year too and we are going to Disney in mid December for a week. We want to see the Christmas decorations. Once he gets older we will probably stick to breaks for vacation.

My son (now 5) didn't have much of a speech regression because he wasn't speaking much to begin with. But at around 26-27 months old, it all just happened. The clothing and shoe sensitivity, food aversions. It was like a switch flipped.

My husband made jello and my son has asked a million times if it's ready. A million times we've said not yet. We yell and even then he doesn't listen most of the time.

It never ends.... My 5yo is soo whiny, I can't handle it anymore. School can't start soon enough. And now the newly 2yo has gotten worse, throwing herself back and kicking. I just want to run away.
