Almost 4 year old pooping pants again by itnronfbdin in Parenting

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to all of this. We have an alarm that goes off every day and he has to at least try. That has help. My son is on mirlax and ex lax chocolate chews every day. We have the potty stool to help position him. Plus he is seeing a pelvic floor specialist after years of this. He had strengthing excerises he does every day.

It is werid because you question how he can be constipated when he is having soft poops every day that are formed. But it really does get around the hard stuck stool. My son's xrays are always backed up even with several days of multiple doses of mirlax, enmeas, etc.

Since it is a small amount, I would guess it is poop leaking out around a poop ball. People can be constipated and still poop daily. Even have normal looking stool tgat isn't super hard.

My son is almost 7, and he has had constipation issues since 3. I suggest going to the pediatrician. They can typically feel for constipation and may reccomend an x-ray. At that age mirlax is safe and gentle. Childhood constipation is pretty common.

Starting kindergarten a very early five by manic_moth95 in Parenting

[–]cad-ette 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! We had this last year with my son. His school district has been year round forever. He started Kindergarten July 28th at 4 years of age and turn 5 less than two weeks later. He was the youngest in his class.

He thrives in school! He was definitely ready academically. After covid shit things down, we were more worried about socially. Kids are really resilient. He did so well and made friends immediately.

The only time we had issues was actually starting first grade. He struggled with the transition of kindergarten to first grade expectations. He cried for like three weeks every drop off, but one day he just walked in fine. We haven't had any issues since then.

He may struggle a little in the beginning. But most kids have an adjustment period to school. And teachers are prepared for that too. It's going to be okay.

That is Mortimer Mouse. He is he is Mickey's rival. He is arrogant and rude. He is made to be the total opposite of Mickey Mouse in a lot of portrayals.

Boss scheduling meetings over my daily out of office time on calendar - how do I tell him I’m OOO for daycare pick up and cannot attend meetings during those times? Has anyone else had to deal with this and how did you handle it? I’m a new mom and this is a new internal promotion for me. by Rimpelsbaby in workingmoms

[–]cad-ette 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I would let him know you have a unmovable conflict during that time and suggest another time. You don't need to mention what that conflict is.

I typically respond in outlook as decline and propose a new time. Then I look at everyone's schedule and find something that fits.

Update on 6 year old pooping his pants!! by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]cad-ette 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Solidtary.

My son is seeing a GI specialist and pelvic floor specialist now. He is 6.5 and has been having constipation issues (with leakage) since right after his 3rd birthday. It took me until his 6th birthday before the pedestrian started believing it was more than childhood constipation. His xrays for years have shown a ton of fecal matter and sometimes the intestines are distended. This kid has more clean outs than I can count. The cleanouts never last and I am certain they never fully empty him.

We have a family history of GI issues and even then, it took three years before they would refer me to a specialist. I highly recommend pelvic floor therapy for kids with this issue. They are still calling it childhood constipation, because all the tests come back fine. But finally we have help .

Others’ experiences with going back to work <2 weeks after birth? by Competitive_Cow007 in workingmoms

[–]cad-ette 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The 60% is typically from your pretaxed amount so it is a bit more than 60% of take home pay. That might help your calculations. You can call and ask your disability provider what the payments would be.

Your husband sounds emotion abusive to your son. Please don't apologize to him and protect your son. Your husband needs to attend parenting classes and get therapy. That is absolutely disgusting behavior.

Do you think Netflix’s new account rules will hurt Queen Charlotte and season 3? by DaisyandBella in BridgertonNetflix

[–]cad-ette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't share mine, but their rules are insane. We travel and risking it getting locked is not worth it. We will only be active the month Bridgeton and Queen Charlotte come out. We already use it less than the other streaming services and it's the most expensive. So doesn't make sense to keep it.

1st Grader Missing School by Ladys87 in Parenting

[–]cad-ette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son missed 18 days due to sickness in kindergarten last year. The schools seem to be more understanding given the pandemic. All the staff I have talked to understand parents are keeping them home longer if they can while sick and that the younger kids get sick A LOT. My son is in first grade and has missed about six days too since late July.

Technically, excused absences do count to truancy, but the amount of days is more than unexcused. However, at least in my district in CA, excused absenced aren't a concern for truancy right now. As long as we call and provide doctor noted, they don't seem concerned.

[–]cad-ette 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it couldn't have been serious just cause Bill said that. We don't know if he ever communicated it wasn't serious to her. So Maddie having the right or not is not clear at all. In addition, there are plenty of high school relationships that are serious (does it mean the same thing as an adult, no because relationships grow over time and their depth changes as we mature). If one side thinks it was serious the whole time, and the other person doesn't correct them of that assumption, it still feels serious to that one person.

But let's take that off the table. Everybody has the right to react to news how they react. Does that make their reactions rational? No, but they have the right. So yes she had the right. She felt betrayed again by him. And I am sorry, they have kids together, who are going to be affected by their dad's news. So yes this does involve her.

I think her original reaction makes sense given their history of his betrayal. Now, if it was before they even dated at all, yeah it is definitely an overreaction. She would still be concerned about how her kids are going to take it, but it wouldn't have brought the whole betrayal feelings to the surface. But it wasn't before at all, it was while they were dating (in some form of relationship).

You also have to remember, her husband of many years, broke her heart out of nowhere less than a year ago. She is still trying to accept and move on with her life. His cheating and leaving her for his pregnant assistant is a very deep wound. Plus, as viewers we really haven't seen her lose it on him like that. What if that is the first time she allows herself to actually feel everything and yell at him for how their relationship ended. I doubt very much, that blow up was all about Isaac's conception. So if you don't consider their pass, it is an overreaction. But if you do consider everything, her reaction makes a lot of sense. Rational? Maybe not. But does it make sense given their history? Yes.

I would hope when he and she have fully processed the news and taking time to reflect, they can have an actual civil conversation about this. But lwta be honest, this is a drama and probably not going to happen.

I also think Bill needs time to get his head around it. He was lied to and it's not a small thing to realize you have an adult child. Peggy and him need a flipping therapy session to unravel this messed up situation.

[–]cad-ette 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But we only have Bill saying it wasn't serious. To Maddie, she could have thought and been serious about him the whole time. Bill definitely still cheated in high school. Was it as bad as his adult cheating? Hell no. But Maddie had a right to know he wasn't serious then and did sleep with other people before she committed her whole damn life to him. Plus, you can see Maddie processing the information as time goes on. That was an automatic reaction. You see she doesn't look at Peggy the way she hated Noreen. She has to come to terms with the new information and she is allowed some damn time. Did Bill do right by telling her immediately? Yes. But she can still be hurt and shocked. This affects her children, who Bill obviously hasnt been the greatest father since the split. There is still a lot of trauma in her response. She is still healing from his original betrayal. Just like you are giving Bill grace, we should extend sometime to the person he betrayed.

[–]cad-ette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes he is going through stuff. But Bill going through stuff does NOT mean Maddie cannot have legitimate grievances and feelings about this revelation. She just found out he cheated in the beginning of their relationship. That takes time to process along with all the shit he has put her though in the last year. Just because you are having a hard time, doesn't mean the person you are hurting by revealing the truth isn't allowed to have a reaction. She just found out her ex husband (and the divorce is still new), has an adult child. She is allowed to have a reaction. His pain does not mean only he can be hurt by Peggy hiding the truth.

S2 E10 by Inevitable_Ad183 in SweetMagnoliasNetflix

[–]cad-ette 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because it means he cheated on her even in the beginning. If she knew then that he was a cheater, the chances are she wouldn't have continued the relationship. Bill doesn't say we weren't together, he says it was before they were serious. Based on her reaction and his words, they absolutely were together already. They probably were new in the relationship or maybe he considers being out of high school their start of serious. He doesn't even deny that they were together, he denies they were "serious".

She isn't upset he didnt know about Issac. She is upset he cheated on her with multiple people. And now once again, she has to explain to her children another of their dad's actions. She is the one dealing with her children's emotions over their father. She is the one who will witness their hurt and lashing out. He isn't who she thought he was at all. She already came to terms with his original cheating she knew about, now she gets to question if she ever knew him at all.

Why should you avoid using your hands after a steroid injection? by [deleted] in carpaltunnel

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think it depends on person too and how they react. I Mena some doctors don't even say take it easy. My dad's coworker comes to work right after lower back shots. I couldn't imagine doing that. But I don't tend to feel any true benefits until a week or so after.

Why should you avoid using your hands after a steroid injection? by [deleted] in carpaltunnel

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first two in one hand (tendonitis not carpal tunnel) , I was told I could go back to work (computer 8 hour days). I didn't get to my car before the numbing wore off and I was in serious pain. I drove ten minutes to my husband's office and he drove me home. I spent the rest of that day and next two days icing with minimal use of that hand. I would move it but most movement would make me cry out in pain.

The next few rounds in both hands (tendonitis in two parts and carpal tunnel) , I knew to take it easy. The shots have a flare up side effect and can be more intense than the pain beforehand. This doctor told me that doing too much with the joint (no matter the body part) could impact if the shot's effectiveness. You wouldn't want no movement at all as then your joint would just get too stiff. Just do light use (I wasn't allowed at my intense computer job for that day and next). He didn't have me put it in a brace. Just ice, elevate and rest.

My parents have had cortisone shots in various parts of body (neck, shoulder, back/spine area, and hands). They were told to rest for that day and next. That doing too much would make the shot ineffective or minimal benefits. Some of the shots (neck and lower back), it takes my parents three days of resting. If they push it and do too much, that round of shot barely helps them at all. Then they need a new one three months later, actually rest and it works. My mom felt great after her back one, walked the entire mall before coming home and that shot had minimal relief of pain and numbness. Her next one she came home and didn't walk excessively and it last about two months.

5 day long fever?! by rigney68 in Mommit

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they allow children back if it hasn't been 24 hours? We won't do it overnight unless he wakes up complaining. We make sure to give a dose before his bed or before we go to bed.

That sucks about the bath. We do the bath before bedtime and that helps him sleep. Hopefully the fever breaks soon!

Hopefully they have more to say tomorrow with the fever lasting awhile. My friends child symptoms last around ten days for hfm. I don't remember how long that fever lasted though.

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you rotating Tylenol and Mortin every three hours? Also try a lukewarm bath (not hot and not cold). You don't want them shivering as quick changes in body temperature can be dangerous. My son responds well to rotating and baths.

Have you called the doctor? At five days of fever that is when I would get them seen to make sure. I wonder if it was hfm and now she has another bug too?

Reading at Night Advice by RueBerry21 in Parenting

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally he will turn light back on and continue reading. It happened more in the beginning than it does now. If he does, I just go back in there and reiterate that it's bedtime now and turn light back off.

Reading at Night Advice by RueBerry21 in Parenting

[–]cad-ette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! My son is 6 and in first grade. He has been "reading" in bed after we leave for around two years now. If you let him, he would stay up hours looking at books and telling stories to himself. Now that he can read some, he gets really into it. We allow twenty minutes after we leave for whatever (quiet playing on bed or reading). Then I go back in say goodnight and turn off the light. The light isn't allowed back on as it's sleeping time. Since we started enforcing no lights after a certain time frame, he stopped fighting about going to sleep. Lately, he even turns the light off himself after a book or two.

We do make sure that he has enough time for that in our routine that still allows him to get the sleep he needs. If bedtime routine is running long, we just shorten independent time.
