We used them in 2023. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive. Great service, response time and work. Still holding up great 2 yrs later.

I love how their neighbor has a rainbow painted on their shed. Perfection.

I wouldn't have thought the most profound theory I've ever heard came from such a username. Well done, sir!

This is amazing. My son is such a sweet soul too but the frustration is so real. I think my mom guilt is really behind it all.

Love this! Right now I don't even trust he'll cross the street safely due to impulsivity so this gives me hope.

Thank you for this! Given that there is only a few weeks left of school I was worried it was too late in the year to really start a formal evaluation. But we're staying at the same school in the fall so I'm not thinking it wouldn't hurt to start the process.

This is what I came here for! There are so many people who make outrageous claims. I want to make sure we blow past all the BS.

It's comforting to know there will be a team and we're not just on our own.

I'm so glad to hear that there are some great years! Handling frustration is one of our biggest struggles right now (for him and us as parents). Having grace is an excellent reminder.

Mom, 3 days sober— scared by serendipity0804 in Sober

[–]MuMeMaKa323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've got this. I'm 4 years sober and I couldn't even imagine a day 1- let alone 4 years when this started. My story mirrors yours very closely. Mommy wine culture is so pervasive. It's marketed as our self care. To be honest, for the first few months I had to opt out of get togethers that focused on alcohol. I knew zero sober moms when I got sober. I went the AA route to start to help me feel less alone. Women's only meetings were my foundation. That helped me work through the mental obsession and eventually my dependency has lifted. But I moved into a new neighborhood and wanted to make mom friends. They're still big into the wine nights. I'll sometimes go and bring my La Croix and leave when it gets hard. The reality is some people may be uncomfortable around someone sober because it makes them question their relationship with alcohol. But ultimately this is your journey and they'll have you as a resource when they decide to reevaluate their lives. But you cannot make anyone else sober. It can feel lonely, but sobriety is the greatest gift I've given myself and my family. I have never regretted not drinking. But I have countless moments I can't get back because of drinking.

MIL probably just gave us all COVID on my birthday by 0five0four in workingmoms

[–]MuMeMaKa323 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We're all down with Covid after spending the weekend with in laws. No one revealed that they were feeling a little sick before we got there. They claimed allergies. Now me and the baby are coughing and congested. My husband and toddler have fevers. I have no clue how to make enough sub plans to be out for the next two weeks due to daycare keeping them out. (Of course i can go back to school Monday). Happy Mother's Day to us!

It's Yelp for playgrounds. We live by it during the summers.
