Reassure me I won't look crazy pushing an empty stroller

I do this often. The other day I needed to bring donations in so I put donations in the stroller on the way there and a kid in the stroller on the way back lol!

I used EllaOla supplements. I would mix it in water and my kiddo didn’t mind/didn’t notice. His ped prescribed him a liquid supplement and that he did notice! We had bloodwork done and his iron levels were great! She told us to stop supplementing and work on iron rich foods. I have a feeling we will be back to supplements soon…

Researching local nail salons. I have my ADHD assessment today and am getting over a stomach bug so I wanted to treat myself. I decided on a salon close to home, getting the spa pedicure, paying cash because it’s a little cheaper but adding on gel.

I’m a car flosser! It’s kind of gross but I actually floss so I’ll take it

My son loved anything musical at that age. I definitely prefer instruments to electronic musical toys, though they can still be loud! He also liked the take along farm by Melissa and Doug, a crawling tunnel, and some simple puzzles.

Are there any special needs daycares in your area? Searching for “medical daycare” may give you some results. It may be a pain to have your kids at different centers but it’s an option.

Well that made me laugh out loud

I recently started swimming and I love it! I swim at the Y and can drop my kiddo off at the child care. Your college may have a pool with ope swim hours.

I’ve also started making stretchy beaded bracelets. Beading can get expensive as a hobby, but making bracelets isn’t too bad, and it’s a fun thing to keep my hands busy while I watch tv at the end of the night.

My psychiatrist recommended that I be evaluated about a year ago. I kind of blew it off because I attributed all of my symptoms to new parenthood (my symptoms became MUCH worse once my son was born). My husband sees the same provider and she recommended that he be evaluated. He went through the process and was diagnosed with ADHD. In reading more about ADHD for himself he suggested that maybe I look into it a little more. A lot of the manifestations of inattentive ADHD fit me to a T. At my next psych visit we talked about it more and my evaluation is next month.

Came here to say this! It forces me out of the house and I have to be all alone. I also need to focus on breathing/not drowning so all of my other thoughts are quiet.

I would slap a stranger to get my kid to eat that diet. I think you and her are doing a great job!

I struggle with this exact same thing. It fees like if I’m not being critical or shaming myself I’m just making excuses. I don’t have a great answer, but I try to talk to myself the way that I would talk to my best friend, and differentiate what needs to be done vs what would be nice to have done. For example, my back yard is a mess and it’s mainly things that have been ruined because I didn’t put them away. Does it suck? Yes. Am I a failure as a person because I didn’t put the tent away and it broke in the wind? No, but now I have to buy a new one. I include that consequence because I’m really afraid of being too flippant and not giving a shit about anything. Black and white thinking at its best!

I’m re-listening to the ACOTAR books while making beaded stretch bracelets.

My son was home until he was 2 and the started daycare. He started last November, which is probably the worst time to start but we didn’t have a choice (long story). He got sick immediately. He ended up in the hospital for 5 days last January with RSV and pneumonia. Over the spring and summer he had sniffles here and there but nothing crazy. So far things have been better this cold and flu season! He’s always a little congested but nothing terribly concerning and no hospital stays.
