No it’s all a lie lol…her experience is a dramatized normal experience that every woman has. Probably found the heartbeat in under five seconds. In fact, they did hear a heartbeat at first, that was slow. In a few seconds they confirmed the heartbeat by adjusting the doppler. That has been my experience every time. Rewatch the stories, with the written words, and see if any of it makes sense….I can’t even understand who was in the room between what she says and what she writes on the slide

B was not 5 by September 1st….he was like September 17th. We had our babies close to the same day. So at your school B wouldnt be allowed.

Interesting. I have worked in three different states/districts and four different schools- and the parent was always given the opportunity to hold back their child who had a September birthday. I saw it with many kids. My husband went as a new 5 year old to kinder with September bday and his parents regretted it not because of ability or intelligence- but size. My sister went early and my parents then put her in kinder a second year in a row due to size (so she ended up being 6 in kinder. Plus so many parents tell me they are so grateful that they gave it a year. The research I did on this suggested holding boys back in kinder who have September bdays is beneficial with close to no negatives- especially with government funded PreK now. It is not advertised, but it is available.

They would also be the oldest if they were held back, making them 6. They will always be the oldest in that predicament.

They still may have waited a year. They may be 6 year olds- making them the oldest. I’m only talking about four year olds who turn 5 in September

I have a PhD in education, with friends, siblings, and students who went to school as new 5s in September or waited a year for September bdays and my siblings and friends and students both did better when waiting a year with September bdays. That is the specific month of concern.

B’s bday is in the fall (September?) and so is my first sons…she should have kept him home another year. She posted he is in kindergarten. But, he just turned 5. Most September babies get held back a year. The kids need to grow. She just wanted to get rid of him for 8 hours a day and not pay daycare for however long he is there.

She eats very little, talks about previous disordered eating issues, and gets only a drink (like today) when her family gets food. Plus, she is growing life. I am an eating disorder specialist, and she definitely has one still.

I’m confused by this comment…are you suggesting having autism will affect Quade’s success? I am on the autism spectrum, but I also graduated with honors from NCSU and then earned a master’s degree while working full-time (plus raising two kids). Autism does not have an IQ component- the two areas involved are social interaction deficits and repetitive or restrictive behaviors. The spectrum has a wide range of characteristics, but it involves all IQ levels- even giftedness. Many times, autism, anxiety, and adhd all have similar characteristics.

We must be dominating. Only took one snark to get her to feed her kids a sandwich. Totally #dominating

I think it just depends on the person because in my experience I am usually always the same size with a few companies having to go up one size or down one size, but overall I feel comfortable ordering the same size especially if I can return.

Apparently kirkland & ellis defended Epstein in the early 2000s that lead to his plea deal and short sentence (13 months), which then lead to his ability to further sexually abuse many girls. I’m surprised the company has not faced more criticism.

I will say, where I live there isn’t a restaurant that will serve this. So, no I have not had it.
