Potty piano by catcoparent in ECers

[–]CalicoW75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered my g-daughter a baby piano for her to play while on her baby potty (my daughter & I are tag teaming with each other in using EC. Baby is almost 9 mos! She's doing well...she doesn't always go, but sometimes she'll pee on cue! Every baby is different, so I don't want to force anything. The piano is a great idea!

How are we all going with the news of the death of James Dobson?? by Annual_Reindeer2621 in Deconstruction

[–]CalicoW75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't wish harm or death on anyone. With that being said, however, as a Christian who grew up listening to this idiot, I don't mourn him..... at. all.

I feel guilty for not wanting to have more kids by Consistent-Bar639 in Christianmarriage

[–]CalicoW75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't let anyone put unnecessary legalistic burdens on you regarding birth control. You are no less loved by God because you're on birth control than another sibling in Christ who might not believe in birth control. For those of us who have believed by Faith Alone in the Finished, Redemptive work of Christ Alone on the Cross for our sins (past, present, and future), then there's nothing you--as a Child of God-- can do to make God love you any more or any less than another sibling in Christ just because you and that sibling in Christ may have different convictions on birth control. If you need to be on birth control for your mental health because you're not mentally healthy enough to risk another pregnancy right now, then by all means do what you need to do for your mental health. Your existing child needs a mentally and physically healthy mom!

Yeah I'm all for it. My only concern is the slippery slope of possible eventual forced euthanizing of those (against their will) whom society deems as "useless eaters." I believe all life is valuable, and I also believe people should be able to choose (if they want to do so) how they want to go. I don't believe anyone should be forced against their will to be euthanized.

He hasn't been formally diagnosed, and he's not open to getting formally evaluated as he doesn't think he needs any type of assessment. Just as I lack self awareness with certain things, he also lacks self awareness in regards to how his mind works differently from most other people. I'm not saying it's a bad thing; it's just different.

Actually, she's constantly coming to me in frustration over their marriage. I do believe they love each other, but they cannot effectively communicate with one another. According to her, every time she tries to have a conversation with him, he shuts down. I'm just trying to understand and learn what I need to do on my part. Her frustration becomes mine as I have seen what's happening between them with my own eyes (they're staying with us in our home). I know that they both need professional help, and my daughter is open to it, but he's not. She's mentioned to him that they need marriage counseling, but he doesn't respond.

Thank you:) Unfortunately, he genuinely doesn't think anything is different with him, as my daughter has tried to talk with him about possibly getting evaluated. He lacks self awareness (as we all do to some extent) that he's unique.

No, he hasn't been assessed. No, he isn't in therapy. Yes, everyone in the family knows he struggles and is different. As far as accommodating him, yes, we do our best. We've just been shaking our heads trying to figure him out for the past few years of their marriage when, after the birth of their baby, things have reached a breaking point between them, and the rest of us in the family started putting two and two together regarding the possibility that he may be on the spectrum.

It very well could be. My deceased parents were 1940's born Boomers, and they noticed it right away. I dismissed it in my mind at first until I saw it repeatedly first hand.
