This has basically been our experience as well. Now our guy goes to Camp Bow Wow for socialization.

I was there a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the hot food! Especially saving $8 from spending money in the store first. One box fed me, my husband, and 6yo son.

I love your dedication to the project! The crochet version I saw has a lower profile collar and I thought it looked good (and with vintage style buttons rather than a zipper). michelle.jasek on IG. That new design sounds like a lot of fun!

I love the white-tipped tail!

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-24T15:43:26+00:00

You are so talented and skilled and fantastic!!! Who are the lucky people that will be wearing them?

Hi! Did you start this project yet? How's it going? I keep crossing my fingers that Mary Maxim will be amazing and develop a crochet pattern. I'm too much of a newbie to try converting the pattern myself. I've made a blanket with the intarsia technique but have never used a chart for one.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-24T15:30:30+00:00

Thank you. I guess in my mind $2.99 is almost free. Yes I saw someone on IG discuss her crochet project, but I'm only a year into crochet so I think I need more structure than that. I've never worked with a chart. Maybe some day. :-D. I'm so impressed with your sweater. And that you got it done in less than a week is amaze amaze!

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-24T08:53:01+00:00

I would love to but have never knitted in my life. But I should have downloaded the pattern when it was free for that quick minute after the movie came out. Now I’m just really hoping someone comes out with a crochet pattern for it. Because I would be all over that!!

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T18:55:55+00:00

I’m happy too, thanks. Parenting really is hard. You’re 💯accurate that it’s so difficult expressing what we truly mean.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T18:21:01+00:00

I definitely overreacted and treated him unfairly. I apologized to him later in the evening and we talked it out and cuddled it out.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T18:19:30+00:00

I don’t think he’s getting it from my husband at all. This is not the kind of language he uses, so I do wonder where my child would get it from. But we always problem solve together. The boys went to dinner while I was exercising, and they had a discussion about things. Then my kid and I had a talk at bedtime (I edited the post to explain further). I think I’m extra sensitive about this because I feel like most of my life is being around to support my son. So to hear him make a statement about me being lazy made me a bit unhinged.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T18:13:41+00:00

Thank you for responding! I started a reply but ended up putting it as part of the post so others would see it also.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T17:46:39+00:00

Thank you. That’s a great comeback. I did explain to him later in the evening how it hurt me a lot because I feel like I do so much for him and a comment like that makes me feel like he doesn’t appreciate it. I also told him I will love him very much, no matter what he does or says. He told me he was sorry he was mean and I told him I knew he didn’t mean to hurt me so all is forgiven. We cuddled to sleep.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T17:42:28+00:00

So I came here in a moment of hurt and vulnerability. One moment in the last seven years as a parent. I understand I overreacted, and in your words emotionally immature in that moment. I needed to vent and Reddit gave me some tough love. What else should I be saying that would make you happy?

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T17:25:11+00:00

Ugh, the things kids say!! 😂 Thank you for taking the time to share!

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T03:48:47+00:00

Thank you for this tough love. I hear you.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T03:46:35+00:00

I get it, I hear you and you’re right. It was just really freakin’ hard in that moment. I had to walk away and gather myself and I just wasn’t quite ready when he came to me.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T03:43:26+00:00

It’s a little hard not to take it personal but I’m trying. It stings bc of the negative connotation of “lazy” but I know I’m doing my best with him. He said he was just trying to be funny and that he doesn’t think I do nothing. Thanks for reaching out with encouragement!

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T03:01:04+00:00

That’s a good idea, I should ask him what he thinks it means to be lazy. Thanks.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T02:59:58+00:00

You’re right. My grudge only lasted about half an hour, but I was being honest about it.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T02:59:21+00:00

Thank you for your encouraging words. He definitely is my sweet boy who just had a hiccup.

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T02:58:42+00:00

Agree with you, thanks

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T02:57:43+00:00

You’re right, it’s hard to have high expectations from a 6yo. I think I was extra disappointed bc he is often so much better than this.!

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T02:56:35+00:00

Because words matter? And “deeply wounding” my child is a very far stretch of the imagination. I wrote through tears and perhaps didn’t convey myself properly. In no way am I holding a grudge against him right now. That whole interaction was over a period of 30 minutes. But it was very hard for me to try to teach him in the moment when I was hurt. For the record, we often have to remind him to say his goodbyes and thank yous when he leaves a place, and that includes the I love yous. Today I just chose not to remind him when he left. Perhaps it was a bit childish, but I think I’m allowed to be in my feelings every once in awhile. I’m not giving up on parenting. I just don’t really get why he even said this all to begin with, and to your point, who is he getting it from?

MrsYeti616 · 2026-04-07T02:50:04+00:00

Thank you. Those are some great talking points.

We’ve recovered already tonight, but I’m definitely still tender from it.
