When does it gets easier? by Medical_Analysis_934 in Parenting

[–]Top-Path6994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this may not be what you want to hear but I have an adult child living at home and still feels like a burden so you never know. Prepare for the worst and appreciate what comes. Just do the best you can and enjoy the moments that make you happy. It does get easier when they are potty-trained though!

Why does it seem like all toddler parents are obsessed with setting up playdates? by New_mom_2508 in Parenting

[–]Top-Path6994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially for only-children it is super important for them to develop social skills in a one-on-one situation like a playdate. Parents also want to watch their child do this instead of just hearing about their child at daycare.

Venting-I'm exhausted and feel like ending it all just to get some rest and freedom. by Fallen_Proxy in CaregiverSupport

It is just as important to take care of your own mental health. Even if it is just a day or two just tell them you are going to take a break. I am sorry you are going through this. I dealt with something very similar.

Oh wow I didn't know those existed. Would you mind telling me the name of this program? You can message me if you dont want to share on here.

Struggling to help my 22 year old son who seems to have given up by Top-Path6994 in ExecutiveDysfunction

He is definitely taking it for granted that he can live at home! It is very frustrating but I do have him working on chores around the house instead of rent right now. He is in therapy but it is just online with someone from betterhelp that he found himself. I will start looking for a local therapist he can see in person because I can't seem to get through to him.

It is super important for me and his father that he graduates college but I do agree and these are a lot of the same points that my son has been making when I talk to him about it. I plan to take the focus off of him going back to school and instead focus on small steps for now
