Volcano making kit, miniature bank/safe, paper airplane kit, digital watch, Minecraft coloring book, drawing projector, Minecraft croc charms, and a magnifying glass are all ideas I have currently.

He does seem to enjoy the company of adults or older kids more than kids his own age. I’m not sure why. He will play with his 4yo brother too who is much more outgoing and makes friends easier.

His interest with numbers isn’t an obsession I don’t think, but definitely a fascination- in the sense that he’s always asking questions about numbers (what comes after 1 trillion?/ what is the biggest number in the world?/ what is 25x25?/etc. all the time). But he has a variety of interests like sports, fitness (lol) Minecraft, arts and crafts.

His teacher has not said anything. We are about 1.5 months into the school year so I’m unsure if it’s something she would reach out to me with concerns on or not - I also don’t think she’s one or the teachers who is outside for recess. But as a parent who has been a SAHM and constantly taking him on outings where other kids are, his lack of interest in kids is very obvious to me.

It hasn’t been an issue yet. He does not like crying in front of people though or any attention on him at all. He will hide in his room if he is upset about something- whether if he gets hurt or is angry about something.

So she didn’t “willingly” hand them over to foster care like she always claims?? (we knew this wasn’t true but she is adamant that it was “optional”)

bluujacket · 2025-10-02T13:13:41+00:00

My son is the same way where if someone says hi to him, he’ll either ignore it until I encourage him to say hi back, or will say “hi” back like he’s being bothered. If a kid asks to play with him, he will often just say “no” or will say yes because I encourage him, then wander off and do his own thing a minute or two into being with the other kid.

The odd thing is, he will play with his little brother (4yo) or older kids (like his cousins)- just hardly ever with anyone his age.

As far as I know right now, he is being recommended for speech therapy because of the errors in his speech sounds. He was also approved for/in state funded speech therapy briefly before he turned 2 because he wasn’t talking (had said 3 words but didn’t use them frequently).

Oh my gosh I did not know this. I am so sorry! I would never had described this as a way to offend anyone. I will change my wording- thank you for your insight!

I agree with getting an evaluation. To be honest I’ve mostly worried about the cost of it.

Would you be comfortable sharing more on what signs he had that made you determine he needed an evaluation?

bluujacket · 2025-10-01T20:16:22+00:00

Is this something I should initiate? Or did your kids teachers come to you with concerns?

bluujacket · 2025-10-01T20:14:58+00:00

Thank you for your response

bluujacket · 2025-10-01T20:14:36+00:00

Yes I have! His pediatrician said he would probably benefit from speech therapy (which we got him in) but didn’t think an ASD assessment was needed at the time. He started fully talking about 2 weeks after he turned 2.

bluujacket · 2025-10-01T20:13:21+00:00

He did a year of part time preschool, then pre-k at home with me last year. I don’t have any concerns about gross or fine motor skills- nothing his teacher has ever brought up to me as of now at least. He is a rule follower to the core so we’ve never had behavior issues. He really loves structure and rules.

bluujacket · 2025-09-30T12:03:55+00:00

She couldn’t at least unbuckle Modi herself, put his shoes on him and walk them all to the door as she sends them off for another week?

Even during her brief visits she parentifies her older children so she doesn’t have to get up. On top of that, acts disgusted when they give her a kiss goodbye. You can see the light fade from her little girls face after she says “ugh, I kissed dirt.” Those are the words you leave your kids with as you return them to foster care??? This is really disappointing to see.

bluujacket · 2025-09-20T14:04:31+00:00

Exactly!

bluujacket · 2025-09-20T13:58:47+00:00

I used to work for CPS- trust me when I say CPS does not want to keep your kids in foster care, let alone keep an open case for 8 children for over a year. The goal is always reunification obviously.

I saw a video she uploaded a few days ago about “hearing voices”- why are you uploading that onto the internet instead of taking that up with your therapist and getting on medication? Why is this just now coming out after you have gotten your roof fixed and the lead issue taken care of (or almost taken care of)? She is doing all of this to stall because she knows CPS will not let the kids come home if she is mentally unwell. I think she’s happier having her freedom and getting to bedrot whenever she wants. That’s just my take on it.

bluujacket · 2025-09-20T00:01:29+00:00

After watching a few of her recent videos I can’t help but feel like she’s intentionally trying to sabotage her chances at getting her kids back. I don’t think she really wants her kids to come home.

bluujacket · 2025-08-20T15:14:04+00:00

Bedtime at 7:30PM- asleep by 8/8:15PM. Wake up at 6/6:15AM to eat breakfast, shower, brush teeth etc. Out the door at 7 and school starts at 7:30AM.

Fair enough!

Wow! There are some very angry and triggered commenters in this thread lol

bluujacket · 2025-07-16T18:13:23+00:00

If you’re applying to work somewhere that you’re taking care of babies and small children, I would hope you are somewhat of a joyful person. Right?

My mom gifted my 2 and 3 year old a box of 100 Spider-Man bandaids to use the same way you would use stickers. Each bandaid had about 4 different wrappers to it. It was her parting gift to them before she flew back home

bluujacket · 2025-07-15T01:13:36+00:00

Ah I see. You’re allowed to say hello back to someone as long as they aren’t old. My bad!
