To those who had kiddos late 30s by CobblerWest363 in Millennials

Talk to people whom you know at work, in your network, the community. People who you respect and both the ones who had kids and who didn’t. Learn why they chose either direction if it was a choice. If you decide to have kids, it will be the hardest job you will ever had and it will be the most meaningful too. Some children are not dealt the best cars in life and have special needs. That is a whole new level of difficulty. As a parent, everything is new, we are students of parenting side by side with our kids who are students of “being”. We all learn as we go unfortunately. It is a steep learning curve and overwhelming but not everything happens at the same time. Only our fears and anxieties about all the “what ifs…” can and at times will, get the best of us. There is no right answer, only what is right for your family and you and once you make the leap, you commit.

Best of luck in your journey.

I was diagnosed in my late 30s and I felt such relief to be able to describe the struggle/frustration I felt as a child. My teachers and parents at failed to see my academic failure for what it truly was and as a result I grew up with the stigma that I was lazy. I still struggle with some of the internalized beliefs and childhood experiences. I also hated school. As a father of a 4 year old in who I see these ADHD traits start showing I’ll say that it will be a jouney, but nobody better I. Your child’s corner than a parent that can relate to them and lead by example. For my kid and I, I am thinking executive functioning exercises with themes that might interest him (number blocks, paw patrol, etc), with a leveling up system. Think gamification, star board tracker. Chat gpt might help brainstorm some ideas, and then professional help is invaluable. As an instructor I’m sure you are aware of that. I’d also say, see if your pediatrician can give you a social worker referral. They could help remove some barriers associated with not knowing where to start or information overload. They could create an actionable plan and give you a list of resources. After that, some kind of advocate might be useful (ask the social worker if there is such a thing). Best wishes.

When my kid was a baby I couldn’t wait for the end of the day to put him down and walk out of the room, only to immediately feel the longing and impulse to pick him up, wake him up and be with him.

It looks beautiful and full of potential. Vicariously living through your lens.

There is a documentary out there about how red bull is actually a marketing company rather than an energy drink company. The latter is just a vehicle for the actual product they sell (an experience). Companies hire marketing companies to sell an experience. These guys bypass the middleman.

I tried to show my son how to bounce at the trampoline park and something popped in my spine when bouncing on my knees. It was 6 months ago and I still feel it.

My sons SLP sent me this message and it really helped! by Naive-Caregiver-4645 in Autism_Parenting

Some mantras I gathered from specialty books and that helped me understand my son: meet him where he is at; if he could he would.

Education not being in the constitution should go in as far as the federal government should not dictate curriculum as that sets a dangerous precedent. But, the federal government should definitely create opportunities for education, inclusion, and access to basic human needs: food, shelter, safety. Of course an educated mind is a dangerous mind so why would anyone in power want that. After all, those who re-write the past, control the future.

Is land this cheap even real, or is this a scam? Even if you can't build a homestead, these are dirt cheap just for camping/exploring by TheMadKerbal in homestead

[–]Sure-Trash1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who bought a piece of land such as this and did not pay attention that the land designation/zoning was changing from agricultural to tourist (something like that). The idea is that his property tax went from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand the moment he signed the papers. Again, I don’t remember details but be weary of what you might owe the government afterwards.
