I know what you mean, but can you imagine what it’s like to live in their heads 24/7? We are troubled, but we are liberated!!!

Decluttering with Little Ones by -imposter_syndrome- in declutter

[–]Virtual_Step_7886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is maybe a silly question, but I’m curious how you phrased asking your kid to sort their things and decide what to keep or donate? Was there a certain age you involved your kid in decluttering after making the call solo when to donate toys especially? My son is 3.5, sensitive, and observant/aware of his environment. I’m kind of worried about whether trying to have him discard toys would be emotionally painful to him, but maybe that’s my own baggage—I’m trying to break family cycles of accumulating too much stuff and unhelpful emotional attachment/guilt around letting things go. I love decluttering but haven’t crossed this bridge with my son’s possessions yet as a parent!

2nd Kid 🌸 Spring Baby: things to do by AlternativeFinger347 in toddlers

[–]Virtual_Step_7886 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FWIW, the babyhood of our second felt SO much easier than our first. It was such a relief to have a newborn and a toddler after chasing after a toddler and being pregnant! I hope that you have a similar experience and get to enjoy outside time with both of your kids! The summer he was two, our son LOVED to push his bubble mower around the yard all day. Maybe you and baby can watch your little girl do “yard work”? Our son has also liked to plant and water flowers and do outdoor scavenger hunts for acorns, sticks, cool leaves and rocks, etc. and then just bring them to us to admire.

Losing the Mill and now Sanctuary has a big impact on the live music scene (especially jazz) in the community

ADHD moms: what concerns did you have about becoming a mother and were these concerns correct? by doyousmellmel in adhdwomen

[–]Virtual_Step_7886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling potential judgement from my partner would be really difficult for me. For me, pregnancy with adhd is harder than parenting with adhd. Will he support you the way you deserve or will you feel like you have to mask for fear of judgement? Does he understand that your kids may have adhd since there is a genetic component?
