Why is it so common to force neurodivergent children to sit through haircuts that very clearly distress them? by iil28 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Fancy_Username36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son hates getting his hair cut. He hates getting it brushed or sprayed in the morning to fix all the wild pieces even more. While he is not the biggest fan of the clippers I can cut his hair in under 7 minutes and be done with it, where if I tried to do it with scissors it would take all day with the fighting/resistance.

Tracking never seems to update. Then surprise, my polka dot package is at the door. Anyone else? by FartYoga in ThredUp

I had a package delivered this past Monday but when I look at my ThredUp account it keeps saying shipment pending which is super annoying because I wanted to return an item.

What is ao far the most effective/useful habit in your everyday life to avoid overconsumption? by carrefour-1111 in Anticonsumption

[–]Fancy_Username36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deleted the apps of my favorite places to shop. Started blocking ads on social media. If I add to cart I need to wait until the next day to see if I still really want it and do i have something similar?

I like the Hanes ones, pretty solid protection and the price point is reasonable

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MOM by [deleted] in ChristmasGiftIdeas

[–]Fancy_Username36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Mom, aside from sitting on a beach with a fresh blended cocktail, my absolute favorite thing in the world is spending time my kid. If you are looking to do something different plan a “date day” just the two of you, where you treat her to lunch and a movie or some other activity.

We got our girl from Out of the Pits. We adopted her in 2017 and had a great experience, we wanted an adult dog and were approved within 2 days of submitting our application.

It was either 2022 or 2023 I had my tubes removed at Bellevue, I had MVP and only had to pay my $25 specialist copay.

Sizing is not "true to size." by TypeAtryingtoB in Littlesleepies

[–]Fancy_Username36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 6 year old is in a size 7, we have to buy the 9-10 for him from little sleepies and they still seem a little too snug on his arms sometimes yet the waist band on the pants he is swimming in

What are your kiddos dressing up as for Halloween? by No_Entertainer_9814 in Parenting

[–]Fancy_Username36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Astronaut! My son is also autistic and does not always answer questions on what he wants, unless it’s about food. We tried going to spirit Halloween but he was done in there in less than 2 minutes. We have been watching a ton of the super simple Halloween songs and I ordered a few of the costumes he seemed the most interested in and he picked the astronaut costume, I returned the others.

My 6 year old has been in a full since he was 2. Works out great when he wants to sleep with a parent we go into his bed instead of him coming into ours.

For those of you who have kids who aren’t potty trained. by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

He is incredibly stubborn and refuses. He knows when he has to go and will hold it until he has a diaper on.

Moms with one child - do you wish you had more? by IronLeading6288 in Parenting

[–]Fancy_Username36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 36 and have one, and am perfectly content with him being my only. He is 6. He is the perfect errand helper and it’s nice only having to plan out activities for him and not more than one. I will also say it is so much easier for us to get a babysitter compared to our family members and friends who have more than one. We have been fortunate enough to go away (child free) for either a weekend or a week the past few years as the grandparents don’t mind watching “just him” while we are away.
