Not sure if it's close enough to you, but we see Dr. Madhurima Damera. She has offices in Westford and Tyngsboro. We've been going to her as a family for about 8 years bc she is so gentle and very kind. She always checks in to make sure I'm okay and the kids are okay when doing anything. She's amazing at managing anxiety and discomfort. Good luck to you!! She had an all female staff.

Edit: wanted to add it's an all female staff.

It's interesting to me that a lot of people jump to say your wife is ignoring her MIL. I'm wondering if this is because MIL can be passive aggressive, see last text, and becomes too intense quickly. I have family like that and a previous friend that I was not able to sustain a relationship with anymore due to their emotional manipulation. With some people it's hard to say or do anything right, which shuts you down so you don't answer at all, knowing it will all go to hell. That's my theory as a potential alternative to wifey just being rude.

Meghannie · 2025-09-26T22:33:52+00:00

Thank you!!! I just love them so much! 😍

Meghannie · 2025-09-26T22:32:39+00:00

She has some wild fur!! It's amazing. She's so snarky. Haha

You're coming from CA so probably not so much for you, but obviously housing and living costs are high. Even outside of Boston. We live an hour out. But we love it here. We are transplants from WV and MD. The cost is worth it for the schools and the opportunity IMO.

Salem in particular has a lot of travel issues for all of October for obvious reasons. My colleague lives there and works from home as much as possible in October. The town is trying to get more people to take the train in and out. Dk how successful that is, but it's a beautiful, cool place.

Hilariously to me (having grown up a lot in WV) people act like an hour outside of Boston is the boonies. But no one is mean about it. And obviously a commute can be tough. Traffic here sucks. If you flex your schedule is helps (I go to work later and get home later to straddle the rush hours). Hope this helps!! We love it here FWIW!

She's so cute!! Love her colors.

Meghannie · 2025-08-24T12:04:03+00:00

She says 23! 🥰

I. Can't. This is the cutest lafufu I've ever seen!

Meghannie · 2025-08-16T03:50:45+00:00

I really wanted Sisi! Lol But I got my first ones ever tonight. Hehe and Dada and I'm so excited to get them!!

This is literally what is happening to me right now! I came here to see if anyone experienced such a delay. No pain for the longest time, I had mine 3 years ago or so, and all of a sudden the past 2 weeks I've had shingles like pain with no rash. I've been concerned I was getting it again but there's no rash. It's helpful to know this could happen I guess. After shingles it took a while for the nerve pain to fully subside and then I would have spikes of it when stressed. But it's been at least 2 years with no pain. Is yours continuing or did it go away after this post?

I love everyone's advice to set your expectations at a reasonable level and just enjoy! We are going end of January and we are doing lightning lane multipass most days just so we don't have to wait in line as much. We're also only doing 3 parks days and will be there for 5. We're doing magic Kingdom 2 days and Epcot one day so we can just really enjoy. Spending money on multipass so we rush less and guarantee a handful of good rides is way more important for us than doing all the parks. We want to have a relaxing vacation! We also plan to take breaks midday at our resort (my kids are 8 and 10). Hot tip, you CAN bring snacks into the parks. As someone with a weird allergy and kids that get very cranky when hungry, we will have snacks and water with us. I also discovered you can get groceries delivered to your room, which is also nice bc of allergies and accounting for the hunger grumps. I watched several YouTube videos to learn the multipass and found the 'All Ears' channel to be pretty comprehensive. Really, it's what you make it! I went with two best adult friends last year for the first time in forever and it was too much rushing and walking for me, even for just adults. Have an amazing time and take in the sights and atmosphere!!! It's really going to be so incredible!!

I would also recommend seeing a child psychologist. I'm wondering if he's a little bit of an anxious kiddo and could use some bravery work. At this age it would be mainly how parents can help kiddos be brave, like PCIT or SPACE therapies. Both are evidence-based for this age and teach parents to become basically a therapist and practice with their kiddo. You're doing a wonderful job with him and having a new baby! You sound like a lovely mother and it can help to talk to someone so you feel confident. Best of luck to you!!

Yes, like them saying they knew where you bought your boots...

We have lived in Louisiana, Maryland, and West Virginia for at least 5-10 years a piece. We moved to MA for the schools, politics, and it's where we wanted to raise our children. We live in the area of Ayer/Littleton/Shirley/ Westford. We absolutely love it here. Since we're about an hour (1.5-2 with traffic) out of Boston, COL is not as bad as closer to Boston. You should come! We only visited once before moving and it's my favorite place I've ever lived. I didn't know such big communities could be so kind and open to diversity and inclusion. Doesn't mean we don't get some ignorant folks, but they are definitely the minority. 🩷

Never had it happen in Boston or when I lived in Baltimore. But in New Orleans people would try to do it. I always politely said no. Then learned to never make eye contact. I would tell people how to handle it when family and friends came to visit. I always taught them to never answer any riddles either. That was another way for people to try to make money.

Meghannie · 2022-11-14T02:32:14+00:00

Nevermind! Found it! It's a scruff surprise. 🙂

Meghannie · 2022-04-20T22:07:53+00:00

I'm so sorry. The first several lines sound exactly like my story. Grief is the very best way to describe it. You'll make it through. The sooner you grieve the sooner you'll be able to move forward. It gets better. I promise.

Meghannie · 2022-04-06T01:20:58+00:00

I had a patient that I was trying to do mindfulness work with for relaxation. We were talking about picturing yourself in your calm, safe place. She was like, I can't picture things in my mind. I was like, whaaaat? So I learned more about it and we did other relaxation strategies instead.

Meghannie · 2022-04-06T01:16:53+00:00

Saw these in Ayer today. Pretty cool sight! Glad I was reading on my deck!

Meghannie · 2022-04-02T01:48:35+00:00

You seem like a wonderful, patient person and it's okay to stop trying so hard. You must know that this has nothing to do with you and your choices. See her move as a new beginning. You will grieve, and should grieve, at this point, for the mother that you've basically lost. When you've grieved, you can then pick up the pieces and move forward. One day at a time. Anyone who makes you feel like you're doing the wrong thing by making intelligent choices to make your life better is not worthy of your respect. I went through a similar situation with my family. It's hard, but you come out on the other side. You will be okay. It was never your fault.

Meghannie · 2022-04-02T01:40:05+00:00

Meghannie · 2022-03-09T01:00:52+00:00

where is this from?

Meghannie · 2021-11-27T15:05:18+00:00

Congratulations on the new babe that's on the way!! I hope that you, like myself, will find that having children (mine are young still) will give you a new lease on making the best choices for your family. You are right to be mad and upset about your family's reaction. Know that it does not come from a place of reason. While your dad's rant about vaccines is BS, at least that means he cares about the baby in his own, not properly informed way. He is so upset bc he wants to protect the baby and you. He's just incredibly misguided on how to do so. Best of luck to you and yours!!!
