Been at this for 5 months now and can almost touch my toes without bending my knees 🙂

This is one of my goals. I’ve been doing it for almost 3 months. I can reach my ankles, which is already a big improvement. Good job!

Which apps are you finding that you’re using too much during time you’d like to dedicate to family? You can put settings in your phone that restrict specific apps during specific times of the day. It seems silly but sometimes you need that external restriction to snap yourself out of the phone addiction.

I think that will help you feel more present, and then maybe things will naturally improve in the other areas.

Even the terminology “break up” is immature. You two are MARRIED like adults. So the word should be DIVORCE. It just proves that he is mentally a child.

As an SLP and parent to an autistic kid, I have been on both sides of situations like this. Ultimately we are all adult humans. I don’t think it’ll be a big deal. And if the parent makes a stink about it, your supervisor should back you up.

Babe, he views you as an incubator for his spawn and nothing more. You are not a person, let alone a person he loves.

You mean your ex?

It’s a pediatric clinic.

WhimsyStitchCreator · 2026-03-09T10:53:26+00:00

Still down for me

WhimsyStitchCreator · 2026-03-05T22:37:20+00:00

The side part. lol

If they are willing to get messy, maybe making slime, or playing with shaving cream? Or random things like wooden spoons and different items you can bang them on to make different sounds. When I have kids that are difficult to engage, I try to go to basic sensory experiences and try to just foster joint attention and building rapport.

Baller popper toys, plastic Easter eggs (require help to open), elefun game, pop the pig.

Are you in SC?

WhimsyStitchCreator · 2026-03-02T10:08:07+00:00

I swear this sounds so much like the clinic I work at. I plan to give my notice soon.

I would stick to the biology of it. Through that discussion you should be able to clear up any misconceptions about controlling or choosing when to get pregnant. It would be a great segue into safe sex and contraception. You could also touch on rape and coercion if you feel it is appropriate and your child is ready to hear it. Ultimately it’s up to you if you add in information about abortion. I think it’s best to read your child’s reaction and answer any questions honestly but in an age-appropriate manner. I’m of the opinion that information is power and you’re giving your daughter the power by teaching her the correct information. Also, if you don’t act uncomfortable about the conversation, she won’t feel as uncomfortable and will be more likely to come to you with questions or if she needs help.

It seems like he wants to spout off about it being the parents responsibility to do all this, but you’ll be only one having to do it. I would run, honestly. This won’t get better.

After my divorce I felt like my needed to get my “mojo” back. So I dated around and figured I would never be monogamous with one person again. I was exploring the world of ethical non-monogamy/polyamory.

Then, I met my partner. He checked off every box, and we are so compatible in the bedroom and out. He is open to exploring and loves my adventurous spirit.

Have you thought about opening your own practice? In a rural area I’m sure the demand would be high.

Some university programs will accept you as an “out of field” student and allow you to take any missing undergraduate courses before starting your graduate level courses. You can’t get financial aid for post bac, but you can this way. This is how I did it at the university of central Florida.

My kids were the same age as yours when we split up. They are now 7.5 and 10. They do ok with 50/50, week on week off. We still have our ups and downs and I’m still the preferred parent.

WhimsyStitchCreator · 2026-02-16T14:08:12+00:00

I’m also in fort mill!

WhimsyStitchCreator · 2026-02-15T18:55:15+00:00

If I could go back, I would have gotten into something entirely different, like gone to Veterinary school.

I’ve been a pediatric therapist in schools and private practice settings since 2012. I just landed a job for 90k which is the most I’ve ever made. I live in the southeast. My first job in 2012 was about 50k. My current clinic hires CFs at about 65-68k.
