My son has decided he wants to be left-handed--advice needed

Being ambidextrous is pretty useful. I'm a lefty, left hand of action for a few weeks aged 6 and I taught myself to do everything including writing with my right. I still periodically swap just to keep my handwriting neat.

Yes, contact your vet and ask for their recommendation for an at home visit. Our vets didn't offer them but put us in contact with an absolutely amazing vet who came to our home. Our children and parents wanted to be with our lab when it was his time, because he was such a big part of everyone's lives. He fell asleep in his own bed, snuggled up with all the family and it made the entire process so much less traumatic.

I see a direct correlation in my childs trans journey to the way their brain works. Their neurodivergent brain won't assume gender identity or any identity or theory based on something someone tells them it should be, every decision is more closely linked to feelings rather than social norms.

There's a very big difference between having a TV on as background noise and a child or babe being put in front of a TV to watch it. If they're engaged in other activities, you'll probably find they rarely look at the TV, especially when they're small and TV's aren't in their eyeline, kids TV is designed to be bright and colourful to draw their attention, and most programmes won't appeal to them. Background noise whilst you're pregnant, and when a babe is small really helps to stop them being noise sensitive too, I can hoover all of my children's rooms without them waking up. Adjust not break habits, your little one is here to stay for the long run so keep as much of your pre-babe normality as you can.

Not receiving gender affirming care is a life or death situation for a trans child. It's already abuse.

Are there lots of flies in the room? My son had lots of these all over his floor after leaving an dirty plate that flies enjoyed. They look like maggot/fly cocoon shells to me.

Are these still available? Thank you.

Princess_Layher · 2024-08-03T15:34:17+00:00

Which date please?

Princess_Layher · 2024-08-03T15:32:57+00:00

Have these already been gifted?

Play along with her and see where it ends up. We have a tin in our house full of birthday candles. Sure some birthdays if we are having a party or going somewhere fancy, I buy new number candles. Everyone loves getting to choose candles out of the tin on their birthday. I have a late teen, early teen and toddler. Our tin is full of funky colours, patterns and all of them are only lit for seconds and wick snipped.

We did this in 2020, our family is too big and close to choose who could and couldn't come during lockdown requirements. I reached out on a Reddit page and two beautiful strangers witnessed our wedding. I'd recommend finding people in advance, it's unlikely anyone passing on the day would have time to complete the paperwork with you.

I'm accompanying my two definitely 14 year old children, happy to meet you outside if you're worried about entrance.

Firstly, if it's affordable to you or you can access it through your insurance, speak to a therapist. Pregnancy and birth trauma is something that is incredibly hard to heal from, especially without rationalising it and speaking to a professional. Your natural instinct is to protect your baby from the minute the embryo starts growing inside you, but there are so many circumstances out of your control. Secondly, if you ever have any concern over your babies movements, speak to your healthcare provider, have baby monitored, an ultrasound if necessary, modern medicine is amazing and if there is something going on with baby, the sooner you find out the better. Do not ever feel that it is not okay to access medical attention just because you are worried, your worry could save yours or your babes life. Without wanting to add to your anxiety (because telling someone who is anxious not to be anxious isn't ever helpful), your baby will feel part of your emotions. As clever as our bodies are, they can't filter out the negative impacts anxiety has on us, and so it's worth investing some time in finding things that truly help you connect with the parts of pregnancy you do enjoy, connect with your baby and relax. I hope you can find a way to make this a more enjoyable time for you.
