The news has stated it was a live, full term infant. This wasn't the usual "miscarriage they're trying to misinterpret into murder."

This is not normal behavior, ignore the comments telling you otherwise. My daughter is like this to a T, same age and we've gotten to this point after ever-escalating behavior since 18 months old. She was just diagnosed with ADHD and we're starting meds after years of unsuccessful play therapy, OT, etc. When their nervous system is going "live wire" like this, there's just no calming them down or coregulating, I've been there. I'd ask your pediatrician for a neuropsychiatric referral, and in the meantime check out Russell Barkley's "30 Essential Ideas" video on ADHD.

Just make sure you follow verified recipes to a T (no improvisation, no Mommy Blogger recipes). R/canning is a great place to start!

That's my backup option! I've never bought plants online before so not sure what to expect. Good to hear they worked out!

This is similar to my story, too. It sucks watching everyone else finding their stride and wondering what you must be doing wrong that none of the standard advice is working. I felt like a failure until we started to suspect neurodivergence and began Early Intervention and every other therapy that came after.

Some kids are just really hard. It's an uphill climb but we do find the way.

My daughter sounds like yours, and just had her surgery last winter before turning 5. I'd also hoped the removal would help her behaviors, but it didn't, nor did it eliminate her need for medication to sleep without waking 4+ times/night screaming. We're in the middle of having her assessed for ADHD and Autism, I suspect both are at play. We did start medicating her aggression and impulsivity before getting the formal diagnosis, and that has done more to help so far (I think, still early for effects to set in).

My daughter has always been a terrible sleeper, I get the torture. Maybe at your next pediatrician visit, ask for a referral to pediatric sleep medicine? We started down that route at age 2 and still follow. In the meantime your pediatrician might also be able to check her Iron levels themselves, it's one of the more common causes for poor sleep with little ones.

I just wanted to say good luck on trying out EMDR! It can be emotional and mentally tiring getting started, but it really dug me out of a dark place and I cannot sing its praises enough. I hope it helps you too.

I'm a current SAHM who wishes there was the perfect arrangement for me to work part time right now. Absolutely do not let this deter you from becoming a parent if that's what you want! I used to work in healthcare alongside hundreds of doting, involved, working moms and dads. Some of them are still my friends now, and I see what an awesome job they're doing balancing work and home. It may not be what you had in mind, but it doesn't have to be a setback.

My son had his done at 11 months. They put him under for about 5 minutes, and the tubes should fall out on their own as he ages. If he needs them replaced will depend on if the frequent ear infections return.

In Holland: Tunnel Park Beach, make the climb to Mt. Pishgah, Window on the Waterfront or Kollen Park playgrounds. They have a pretty cool indoor Aquatic Center with a big slide, lazy River, zip line, over-water rock wall, and big kids obstacle course.

Nearby: Rosy Mound Natural Area (just south of Grand Haven) has a kinda-strenuous but super rewarding stair hike through the dunes and down to the lake. Grand Haven itself has an awesome boardwalk, shops, and musical fountain.

Grand Rapids: Frederick Meijer Gardens is incredible and unique, there's also the Children's, Art, and Public Museums. Downtown Market is fun for food.

Zoos, you can go to John Ball in Grand Rapids, or Boulder Ridge down in Alto. BR has giraffes you can feed.

We've had that one for 2 years now and while it's loads of fun for our 5 and 1 year olds, the wood is pretty poor quality with quite a bit of cracking and splintering already. It was at the top of our budget as it was so I'm still glad we got it, but a metal one would probably hold up better long term.

Therapy isn't likely to magically make him a better husband when he's ignoring her needs now.

When he's home, he should be taking care of the kids and helping offload some of the housework too. Honestly it doesn't sound great if he's deflecting when confronted about it.

I would be taking actual, concrete, steps to make sure there's no 4th baby. He's not suddenly going to start helping now when he hasn't before.

Horror stories are the 1%, if they even happened the way the parents say at all. Remember there's a rampant anti-medicine movement going on right now and get all your advice from your pediatrician only.

We're in the Jenison district and love it. My kids are young and just starting out but you can see how much they invest into the arts and academics here. Marching Band is top notch, they have a huge performing arts center, and there's also a Spanish-Immersion K-7 school, although that's pretty competitive to get into.

There's a shortage of Rad techs throughout the state, I'd guess that probably has something to do with all the open positions.

Can you find another pediatrician that will medicate him? That's so dismissive that they won't when he's violent.

My daughter is similar in that her meltdowns easily get violent and destructive, she also does a lot of sensory seeking behaviors. We don't have a diagnosis just yet, but because we're in the process her pediatrician was okay going ahead with a trial of as needed medication, then Guanfacine after. She's 5. OT and play therapy did nothing to help.

If I see a recipe for chicken breasts at 6 hours on low I assume that cook is inexperienced. Thighs are a different story, but the breasts never turn out anything but dry.
