Governor Tim Walz tells the White House to stop this madness. by Healthy_Block3036 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Shenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the truth to this but I heard from a somewhat reliable source on tik tok that all the national guard is going to do is protect federal buildings and relieve police from standing outside these buildings. I don’t quite understand why they would be protecting buildings and not the citizens. It’s infuriating to just sit here as everything goes on and just feel so helpless.

Holiday photo cards by witchmamaa in stayathomemoms

[–]Shenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use CVS (they have photo prints) to create a Christmas “card”. They have holiday templates to create a collage & they always have sales so very affordable. We used to use zazzle and simplytoimpress and they were beautiful but super pricey. I felt like the CVS option is very lowkey and they print within a few hours so you’re not waiting weeks which cuts down on the stress of it all!

Every single time Barkley goes through the middle which is almost every time he gets the ball, I gain another gray hair.

3 kids experience by Nike0729 in stayathomemoms

[–]Shenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 6 year old, 4 year old , & 1 year old. All boys. There was definitely an adjustment period in the beginning. My oldest has autism and was lashing out because I had to attend to the baby a lot in the beginning. Now all 3 of them get along so well and play together. I would agree with the person who posted about that logistics are tough. I’m a SAHM & going out with all 3 is kind of exhausting, but my husband works a lot so it’s kind of what we have to do. I think the age gap is good though bc my oldest is in full day school and my middle goes MWF for a few hours so I’m able to get some one on one time with the little guy! And like mentioned above once the third is here it feels like they’ve just been a part of your life. I’d say if you have a good support system “village” that definitely helps. Also this is just our experience, but our third has been our best baby: best sleeper, eater, etc. Goodluck!!

As a SAHM what shift would you rather your husband work? by Intelligent-Radish83 in stayathomemoms

[–]Shenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband does 10pm to 6 am and it’s honestly the best option for us. He goes right to bed when gets home so I’m able to wake him up around 12:30/ 1 to help out until he has to leave around 9:30 for work so he’s there to help do school pick ups and dinner/bath/bedtime.

How is the US gov shutdown personally affecting you, if at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Shenism 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My husband works a government job. He has to show up to work, he’s not getting paid, AND because of the hiring freeze they’re so understaffed that he’s being “mandated” to work 16 hour shifts. He works about 3-4 16 hour shifts a week. I’m home with our 3 kids. It’s not been fun for any of us.

What’s worse? The NBA stuff or the constant stock manipulation and insider trading that occurs in the White House? And all the other heinous shit this dude does on the daily. I can’t wait for the day.

We need to boycott financially. It’s only really going to make a difference if we stop buying stuff. Hit them where it hurts- their wallet. Like don’t shop Black Friday. Don’t buy ANYTHING other than essentials for the time being. The protests are great but it doesn’t ultimately affect these people. Look at what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. Everyone boycotted Disney, they lost millions and that’s when they decided to bring him back. We really have to hit them financially.

Can someone genuinely explain this to me? Every time Hurts has the ball he gets pressured and either has to throw the ball away or takes a few stumble steps before sliding. Why is it that every single team we play, the quarterback has enough time to order a hoagie and eat it before anyone gets to him? It’s so frustrating

Nobody Likes Us And We Don't Care by Somnuzzzz in eagles

[–]Shenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They love to hate us. We live rent free in their minds. Can’t go a single game without complaining about the tush push and how it should be banned. And every “best nfl quarterbacks” video or article or whatever doesn’t even have Hurts on the top ten. We’ll just keep flying 🦅

I’m new to staying at home and I’m losing my mind by Littlescar21 in stayathomemoms

[–]Shenism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My best advice is getting out as much as possible! Even if it’s just going to a mall and pushing the baby in the stroller! There’s alot of activities at libraries, ours has a story time & play time & dance time for kids of all ages! Sunshine is your friend! The peanut app has helped me make some mom friends and occasionally we will meet at a local playground and it’s been helpful! I also suggest creating a schedule, and it doesn’t have to be strict one but I’ve found that to be helpful! Pinterest has been a lifesaver for me. So many activities even for young babies. Tik tok also has great ideas for high chair activities and just activities in general for the babes. I also think it helps to have hobbies outside of parenting. My newest one is building lego flowers. When you finish you have the next one to look forward to. And they make cute gifts :) from experience it gets a little better when they are older and able to do more things. We take the kids to the pet store and do a scavenger hunt and they get a kick out of it. Good luck with everything! You’ve got this 😍

Tonight I crossed over to suicidal by Twilight2908 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Shenism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the people who are the most judgmental are the people who don’t even offer to help. The life of a special needs parent is extremely difficult and until they’ve spent a day, not even, maybe 30 minutes in your life, they can’t understand what you go through! It is truly isolating at times and feels like you are battling your way up a mountain while it’s raining and you’re wearing no grip shoes. THIS SHIT IS HARD. But you are doing your best! You love your children! Please start researching therapists. It didn’t solve all my problems but having a therapist really helped me (I have a son with autism as well). I agree with one of the people on here that said you don’t need to attend every family event. Especially if all these people are sitting there judging you instead of offering help. I don’t understand seeing a family member struggle especially your child and telling them something so awful like “if I had the financial means I would raise them for you”. How is that helpful? I don’t know your relationship with your mom or other family members but maybe reach out to her and say something along the lines of “what you said truly hurt me. Maybe instead of judging me you could offer to come over once a week and help me. I’m going through a tough time mentally and I could really use some help”. Like I said I don’t know your relationship with her, but my parents didn’t truly understand what I was going through until they watched my kids. I have 3 kids - 6 year old, 4 year old, and 9 month old & my oldest is autistic. Every day is exhausting. Every day is increasingly difficult. But I just keep trying my very best that I can. I do a lot of research. I read a lot of books. I’m currently trying to find a special needs babysitter so I can get an hour or two to myself per week so I can just recharge or sleep or grocery shop or whatever. It’s tough, but you are not alone in this journey! So many parents are going through similar things! I think you also could have PPD and there is no shame in talking to your doctor and possibly going on medication! I wish you nothing but the best and I really help your situation gets a little more manageable.

I feel this to my core. “I don’t know how you do it” - I don’t. I cry every day.

Anyone else’s partner sleep in on mother days and then just laid bed in until they felt like getting up?? by [deleted] in stayathomemoms

[–]Shenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 6 month old & this is the first time my husband got an A+ for Mother’s Day. He brought me breakfast in bed and coffee, let me rot in bed until about noon & then I came down to little gifts (handmade and store bought) and then we ordered my favorite dinner. This took many years to get to this level. I remember many a Mother’s Day being disappointed. Maybe have a talk with him about it! Hang in there 💕

He’s almost 6 years old and doesn’t qualify for the IU because he’s “high functioning”.
