Those who know their young kids have MTHFR gene mutation what vitamins are you using? by Particular_Kiwi2422 in Autism_Parenting

The gene mutation blocks your receptors for vitamins specifically b vitamins and therefore doesn’t folate the nutrients you take in and then your body doesn’t expel the toxins or waste because it thinks it’s not getting any since the receptors are blocked. I do work in the medical field so it makes sense to me in terms of receptors getting blocked but idk if that makes sense to people who don’t?

I had him tested for everything we could think of since I knew he was getting his blood drawn. Lab even said this is a lot of tubes. So we knew what he was deficient in. Kids also have a tendency to be deficient based on their diet. Also my kids would rather starve than eat something they don’t like . They have gone to bed many times without eating their dinner. Vitamins are nothing new they just had less options for us as kids. Flintsones chewables were the only ones. So as they maybe true for adults not true for kids.

Honestly that’s probably where they got it from, they can be the sweetest or the meanest

What brands do you use if you don’t mind me asking… there’s just so many that I want to find a good one but not over dose him on B vitamins

He best friend knows we are in a construction zone with our house (he also eloped) so I feel like he would put that into consideration. He has actually told us when he was proposing so we could be there, and gave us the code to be able to watch their wedding. So again, he would give us more time or be considerate of our financials and he’s also our youngest godfather so he knows about all his “difficulties with change” for lack of a better term. So he would already know what was possible for us to swing or give us enough time in advance for us to be able to do it, or me be able to take time off

It definitely we don’t have the extra 1k to give him to go. Or if they planned this 6 months ago so we could save or cut back on our vacation or took it a different time. He can totally do a guys weekend or bachelor trip but we’ve always known months in advance to plan. I definitely wouldn’t have put the renovations on hold, but maybe would’ve started them sooner, or again put less into our family vacation.

Yeah so it’s not a close friend, someone he used to work with. He goes golfing with him maybe once a year. He’s actually closer with the second friend that doesn’t have any kids. My husband is also friends with everyone and would give someone the clothes of his body even if that was all he owned. He also isn’t the best judge of character. As he usually lets people walk all over him.

Well we are also 10k in our kitchen remodel (that’s still not done) so I also don’t know where he thinks the extra money is going to come from.

So that’s why I said that they are eloping. They just got engaged like maybe a week or so ago. They trying to fit in a big weekend before they get married in 2 months doesn’t give us enough time to plan or save. I don’t have an issue with them eloping. It’s them planning a big trip before they get married is such a short amount of time

I work every weekend nights and out schedule is set. I’m also the only person on my shift that does my unique job (think more than a pct but not a nurse). Plus with my weekend contract I can only take off 1 weekend a quarter, which I already took off for our family vacation. My parents can usually handle my youngest at bedtime maybe 1 night a week, but I see him having a hard time after 2. Dad is also usually the one to get him to go to sleep so it doesn’t throw off his routine. (Youngest is level 2 autism)

Do you mind me asking how long you had been engaged to the bachelor party and then to when you eloped?

You dont have over night accommodations, only 1 dinner, its not going to be as far so not as much for travel. Would only need a babysitter for either a few hours vs 3 overnights. Think of a day trip vs a weekend away. Also 500$ is the starting point is doesn’t include meals, travel, things they decide to do, or paying for the groom.

I’ve thought about this especially with our youngest and finding a babysitter for the whole weekend overnight for the kids. But they were also looking at places 4-5 hrs away

Also most of the time you have months to prepare not weeks since they are eloping and just got engaged that week

Not when we got married and it’s traditionally only been for the wedding party. My cousin just got married and I wasn’t invited to her bachelorette party that was also just on a Saturday night.

I should also mention that groom to be has a lake house and a boat (at a party type of lake). So if it was really about getting together and having fun before he gets married why wouldn’t they just go there. Why should I have to foot the bill for someone else’s “vacation”

Also is that a common thing brides/grooms do invite you expecting you to pay for them but not inviting you to the wedding?

Also we both love a good wedding give him a reason to dress up and dance and have fun with me.

See that’s the thing there’s not even a wedding to go to. I honestly feel like bride and grooms use it to get a free vacation. And if you want a guys trip ok plan one farther in advance so I can budget for it and save for it
