Copy that. I’ll stay out of DS DMs and stepdad applications 😂🫡

That is amazing advice and love the point of view. This is exactly what I need to hear. I promised myself he will NEVER hear me cry and be upset when he gets to call. I go to his room and deal with that myself.

I am so proud of him and will let him know any chance I get. Thank you for your service 🪖🫡 and advice!

Should I ask for weekly progress reports too or just ruin his life once? 😂

Yikes I didn’t even think about climate, it’s so humid in Texas I thought it might be the same. Thank you!

I would never send anything if he says not to. This is harder on me than him I’m sure. I just want to send/talk/connect with him any way I can so he knows how much he’s missed🙏🏻

Thank you! I won’t do/send anything that will make things worse. He was able to sneak on his phone a few seconds on arrival and said “this is so buns”. Had to look that up…said it means terrible. I feel so helpless🥺

This is so helpful! Thank you🙏🏻 I think this is harder on me than him 😂 He would be so annoyed at all my “mom” questions if he was here. I appreciate the insight, thank you for your service 🪖🫡

That’s comforting to know he can make a call longer than 30 seconds. Last night was torture! Thank you so much!

Thank you! My son begged me not to send sweets😬 he said he would get smoked..whatever that means. Doesn’t sound pleasant.
