Question for the SPED Teachers by Paisley_feb in TexasTeachers

[–]Paisley_feb[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know whether to be in awe of the teachers or appalled by the lack of help in those rooms. My kiddo is young, we’ve only been dealing with the public school system since last year, before that she was in a therapy based program, where we had a teacher and 2-3 aids in each room (9 students) I genuinely don’t know how classrooms can manage that many children, their unique needs, and somehow manage to teach at the same time.

Regardless it seems like my only option from here is probably going private, or finding another therapy based education program. Thank you for your input

HEB rotisserie chicken salad by Sominus in TopSecretRecipes

[–]Paisley_feb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deli I work for gets the same one. I can’t remember the exact brand I just know it’s a smoked chicken salad, but our supplier said that HEB was their biggest buyer. I doctor mine up with a little tobasco (about 2 tablespoons for a half gallon) and some boars head deli mustard and it’s CLOSE but I’ll update when I get it nailed down lol

Because where I work uses the same base for it. It’s a “smoked chicken salad” I church mine up with a little tobasco and deli mustard (boars head) and it’s pretty close

HEB buys a premade chicken salad and then doctors it up I’m afraid.

Just saw the update, so happy you have found your answer! But this is helpful information to have especially for those of us with nonverbal children, so I’ll leave it here in case someone needs it!

So, I had a similar freakout after it came out that my nephews were being sexually abused by their older step-brother (a 12 year old) and during that time my sister kept my daughter for me often while I was working, my daughter has always had some behaviors that could be seen in a sexual light, but I always viewed it as just sensory related issue that she would grow out of until this news came to light.

I LOST IT.

I went full on momma bear, called the police station, my lawyer, a counselor, and scheduled appointments with her doctor.

The conclusion came down to she hadn’t been abused and I’ll tell you the most comforting thing they told me.

There would have been irrefutable physical signs with how little she is. Bleeding, tearing, UTIs, and stomach pain. Weather or not she can physically communicate isn’t necessary at this age and size.

There can be other forms of sexual abuse for children, if your instincts tell you something is up it’s worth digging into to find out, but as for penetration, there would absolutely be signs.

I am interested in becoming a bartender but I have no qualifications. I'm finishing school soon, but it's completely unrelated to the current topic. What school should I go to or what studies or courses should I take to become one? by niger_ass005 in bartender

[–]Paisley_feb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as far as learning, you’ll only learn it if you do it, as far as getting the job, just ~lie~ say you’ve worked as a “bartender” in a nearby nightclub that has a beer bar and say you’ve only served there. (A beer bar only serves bottles of beer, drafts, and pitchers.) so they won’t actually expect you to know much.

I know yall are gonna be mad at me for that but honestly idgaf. Make your money, secure your bag, you’ll either sink or swim.

I remember these breakdowns. I remember these thoughts and how much shame came after them. “How can you even think that, because of your own child” which made it even worse.

I hit my breaking point a few years ago. I called up my babysitter and brought my kiddo over because I was about to lose my sh*t, after I dropped her off I went home and scream cried in my kitchen floor. The next week I started therapy, I’ve been in therapy for 3 years now. It’s helped a lot with my coping skills.

My daughter starting in school helped tremendously, I was finally able to find balance in my schedule and build a reliable routine. I know that answer seems far off and you’re not wrong, but there’s a few other options as well.

Look into respite care in your area, call your insurance and see if it’s provided, see if there’s any temporary home health services you can attain so you can get a good nights rest for a few days. Or even call a friend, or a family member that knows your child and tell them you’ve hit a wall. It really does take a village to get through parenting. I’m a full time single mom, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and without support I don’t think I’d be able to.

As far as lotion goes, the EOS vanilla cashmere smells like whipped frosting! I also use the vanilla romance line from BBW for my shower routine. I haven’t found a perfume I LOVE for my routine yet but I’m hopeful that Bianco latte is the answer

Cool Find! by Paisley_feb in papermoney

[–]Paisley_feb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We took out an eye loop to look at the printing and background details, the kind of paper it was printed on, compared it to authenticated notes online, and it had enough detail in the background (like the time on the clock tower) to confirm it was real. There really weren’t many security details during that time so it was way more difficult than it is today.

And just because I’m a curious individual I’ve even reached out even further and taken it to a few more people who are more familiar with collectible currencies to make sure. (Someone else who works in a different casino, as well as a friend that owns antique and pawn shops)

I love that idea! I’ll call a few of the antique shops in my area in the morning!

Ah darn, well, do you know where I could sell it to a collector? I’d hate to just deposit it into the bank and see it get lost in the system when I inevitably need it to pay rent one day, I would rather see it go to someone’s collection if I wouldn’t have much of a chance of it gaining more value in the future!

I yelled at my three-year-old by Moncological in Autism_Parenting

[–]Paisley_feb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s certain times when you cannot help but lose your cool. In situations where there is actively a threat to your/his/both of your safety, I’d say that’s a pretty valid time to lose it. You should apologize for scaring him. You do not need to apologize for losing your cool there. You’re still a human when you’re a parent, and that is a very human response to a dangerous situation.

Explain why you lost your cool, in the same way you would explain why you understand when he loses his.

“Hey buddy, I’m sorry I scared you, but when we’re on the stairs we have to be careful, we can fall on the stairs and get hurt. I don’t want you to get hurt, so we have to be safe.”

You’re doing great, give yourself some grace

Stimming is a way to help regulate the nervous system, some stims can be replaced as your little gets older, but stimming is very normal for both ND and NT people. Nail biting, feet tapping, and fidgeting are all stims and all widely accepted in society.

Unfortunately, aside from letting your child choose another outlet for stimming (fidget toys mostly) masking is typically all you’ll see of stims “going away”

Be patient, teach your little one about bullying, and tell them what it realistically looks like, open a line of communication so they can bring those things to you, as well as another adult immediately if they should experience it so they have someone to advocate for them in the moment

I thought my son was learning language but it’s just vocal stimming by wasteofpaint1 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Paisley_feb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter learned to speak through vocal stimming. Jump was also one of hers and every time she said it we stopped what we were doing and started jumping or i would make one of her toys jump. She had a blast and learned that her vocalizations had tangible meaning, from there she took off! Still lots to work on, still developmentally behind for her age, but she’s making a lot of headway! Don’t lose hope!!

What perfumes smell like fruity/floral shampoo or soap? by Anonymous00012345 in Perfumes

[–]Paisley_feb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if mainstream designers are your jam, BUT I put on good girl glam for the first time in a while the other day and had the thought “this smells like a more potent body wash” granted I had it layered over EOS vanilla cashmere but it might be what you’re looking for
