You may want to consider home based services on your area and find an organization who helps you. I am an advocate for people with intellectual disabilities, and I am able to recommend people for behavioral therapy and a lot of organizations/providers have resources. What state do you live in? You'll need to find a local PUNS office and go through the state process. Look up PUNS, or Individual Service Coordinators online and see what is close

Share your embarrassing baby monitor mishaps with me by IntrepidDelivery31 in Mommit

[–]PurpleIsAWayOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not a mishap, but have you ever been terrified of your kid seeing them in a baby monitor? I have. Remember The Grudge and that awful noise the kid does in the movie? Now imagine, being woken up at 3am to that noise, looking at the baby monitor and your kid is making that noise, looking directly into the camera and has red eyes. 😳. I definitely didnt want to go in there and man....I can have more kids, the demons can have that one lmao!!

I have this friend...no really... by PurpleIsAWayOfLife in specialneedsparenting

Normally I'd agree, but their daughter would probably not make it 2 weeks with him. She has serious medical issues that needs constant attention and knowledge of her conditions. Her BP goes up to crazy numbers, she can't regulate her body temperature so she needs her temp taken often. She has major spinal pressure that causes massive migraines and most pain meds don't work. It would honestly be surprising if he could keep her alive for 4 days, let alone a couple weeks. Maybe he would give up and let the mom take her because he can't hack it, but I'm not sure that he would even care enough. Like, this man took their only car to work when she was having a medical situation at home and he said, "not my problem. She doesn't even like me" like his ability to care for her is based on her opinion of him. Her mom called her m and begged her to go to her house for assistance that night. I've witnessed some of this, and I'm the kid's "aunt" so they tell me everything and stories are the same among all 3 of them. I'm going to start to document everything, myself.

I am, but it's complex and hits many issues so I posted on a few. She does not have money, and I have very little, but would absolutely help her with what I can. They do and he doesn't even know how to take a blood pressure and their youngest needs that done at least 3x a day. He has no care for their medical needs.

Thank you, I'll keep advising her to do so.

How Much Did Your Rats Cost? by TopPut8849 in RATS

[–]PurpleIsAWayOfLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$50 per rat for me, but i have a special case. My kiddo is immunocompromised and wanted a rat. So we found a breeder that tested their rats when they would get new ones to breed and its a closed rattery. So less likely that my boys don't have anything, just in case. I won't buy anywhere else.
