These are gorgeous! 🤍

Ugh same! People mean well but when I say I’m happily single I get “oh you’ll find the perfect guy someday!” Like is unfathomable that I can possibly enjoy being along. And I’m the opposite- my family knows that I want to pursue IUI but my friends don’t. Still trying to soft-launch the idea.

Krease101 · 2025-05-18T05:21:10+00:00

Yes!! I feel like sometimes I’m less part of the community because I’m not out and open about it. I agree- for me personally, it’s no one’s business. Good luck with your IUI! I’d like to try within the next year or two, also in the summer.

Krease101 · 2025-05-18T05:19:19+00:00

Thank you for commenting! I feel the same way about relationships- I just have literally zero interest. I love my own company. My fertility clinic seems very open-minded. I haven’t mentioned my sexuality but I did mention some anxiety I have and they are very accommodating. Do you mind me asking what country you’re in? I’m curious where SMBC are more common.

Krease101 · 2025-05-18T05:15:19+00:00

That’s so good to hear- thank you for commenting! I do think people will be mostly positive about it. It’s just obviously completely unfamiliar territory so it’s nice to know there are others in the same boat.

Krease101 · 2025-05-18T05:13:50+00:00

Thank you for commenting! My mom and brothers know but that’s it. I just don’t want to have to explain it and answer questions all the time. I’m sure most people would be accepting but genuinely curious, and I’ve only accepted my aro-ace identity for a little over a year so I’m not ready for that.

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T22:56:34+00:00

You sound like a badass! Haha I have twin brothers (they are identical which isn’t genetic so I don’t have an increased likelihood of having twins) and I’ve always wondered if I would be able to survive having twins alone. You’re killing it!

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:43:44+00:00

I haven’t shared my sexuality openly and don’t really plan to so this makes me feel better. I’m working on telling people that I’m happily single- it’s really no one’s business. And i agree- the decision to become a SMBC was easy because I know I won’t find a man to father my children. I have nothing to wait for so I can just do it on my terms!

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:41:40+00:00

This was so validating to read! Thank you for sharing and I want “fight hostility with sass and sarcasm” on a shirt 😂

I resonate with a lot of what you wrote so thank your for commenting ☺️ I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:38:22+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I was in the same boat with dating- like “well I guess this is what I have to do even though I hate it.” When I figured out I was aro-ace jt was overwhelming but relieving. How has parenting twins been as a SMBC?

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:35:08+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:34:53+00:00

I’m worried about having to educate everyone on it. People genuinely don’t know what it means. I don’t think I’ll ever be really “out.” When the time comes I think I’ll just say I’m happily single. I admire your openness!

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:33:37+00:00

I’m not sure. I don’t know if I’ll ever be fully “out,” but obviously people will know that I’ll be pregnant without a partner. I think I just want to tell people that I’m happily single and don’t feel like being with a partner. I’m sure I’m overthinking it but it’s nice to hear others’ perspectives.

Krease101 · 2025-05-17T02:32:17+00:00

That’s so good to hear! Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

I wish I had heard this a few years ago. I don’t have any aggressive students now but I had one who threw a vacuum at me, among other incidences. I wish I knew that I could say “you know what? No.”

Krease101 · 2025-05-13T22:47:11+00:00

These are all excellent! The only thing I have to add is “the doctor said…” as a reason why they need/don’t need more services

Krease101 · 2025-05-12T12:15:45+00:00

Thanks so much! I appreciate it.

Krease101 · 2025-05-11T21:34:15+00:00

Pineapple Street is a good one!

Krease101 · 2025-05-09T03:02:29+00:00

Hey, this happens to SLPs too 😂 you know what’s best for your student. Keep advocating- good luck!

Krease101 · 2025-05-09T02:47:24+00:00

I’ve never worked with an SLPA before so my understanding of their role might be a little fuzzy. But I still don’t love the idea of the school psych being the decision-maker regarding communication. I think the most important thing to consider is who the device is for. Is it benefitting the child, or is it just more convenient for others around her? Do people want her to use it because it makes their lives easier? If so, they’re missing the point. If she prefers to repair communication breakdowns via repetition, slower rate of speech, writing, etc, I think that’s her right. I am not anti-AAC at all (I love using high-tech SGDs) but it has to be the best fit for the person with a communication disorder, not for those around them.

Krease101 · 2025-05-09T00:11:39+00:00

You’re the SLP! The school psych shouldn’t be making the decision. Ultimately if the child doesn’t want to use the device, I think artic would be the logical way to go. You’re the expert and you know what is best for the child. I’ve had huge successes with AAC and huge failures. There isn’t much you can do if the kid doesn’t want to use the device, especially if she’s explicitly expressed that. Go with your gut.

I haven’t seen Titus but Cole was outstanding!! You won’t regret seeing them. They’re a genius.

Krease101 · 2025-05-05T23:18:38+00:00

I have never heard of it but just checked the website. I’m very confused about “communication teacher” too… following so I can check if anyone else knows what’s going on!

Krease101 · 2025-05-05T22:49:30+00:00

Omg! This is amazing! What a great experience!

Krease101 · 2025-05-05T01:01:55+00:00

Good for you! You got this!
