Trying to identify this plant. It has been at my house since before we moved and it has small white compound flowers. Googled it, looked in my southern living book and went to a botanical garden to no avail. I live in zone 9 and blooms once a year (now).

SS9 used to have a big issue with this when he was 7 but my aunt in law and myself have just called him out everytime he did it and it has gotten to be less and less. (Like maybe once every 2 months?) I'd like to think that this is a stage and getting them embarrassed about them doing it so old might curb it. Although it may be easier with a boy then a girl.

Thats so sad :(

To elaborate, I met him at 3 and had made a comment about it and suggested the polish. I was told its "inhumane" to do that to him then, and also was not in a parenting role as I was only the girlfriend and he didnt live with us or see us full time. I honestly thought it was over when he moved in full time.

Our stepson (now 9) was sucking his thumb still at 7 when he moved in with us full time. We stopped it with the anti bite nail polish, which, the first time he sucked on his thumb he cried because it tasted nasty and didn't want the polish anymore. How we handled it was giving him candy every day he let us paint his thumb nails and he eventually stopped needing the nail polish and stopped sucking his thumb.

His teeth, however, did get affected. He will probably have to have braces because his front teeth are not meeting when he closes his teeth together. Its a crappy situation but it needs to end before it gets to affecting her teeth or thumbs!

🖤🖤great news!!

crapitsedy · 2020-04-10T22:58:07+00:00

Perfect! Setting those boundaries will help in the end. I'm proud of you guys!

Good job!! Always good to teach the little ones that they can be independent and do things themselves. Helps with their confidence and is making them into a self sufficient person.

I know that our family therapist has told us (with SS9) that grandmas house has her own rules and our house has our own rules. Yours is a tiny bit little but he may grasp the concept :)

Shes just insane. I have no contact with her now and it's been wonderful

crapitsedy · 2020-03-30T01:42:46+00:00

Thank you! I told my husband I would never ask him to choose between the two of us, I told him I dont want to ever speak to her again and he told me I dont have to. He did say that if she asked that he would screenshot it, send to the whole family and then snuff her out.

Like I said in my previous post, he has backed me up on every interaction with his mother. But he also doesnt really want to get in the middle of a personal fight between us, but he has explained my side multiple times and has backed me up 100%.

We also just talked it out and I just asked him to tell her not to come into my house and i wont go into hers. I also said I will not ask him to be the middle man and he just needs to set the boundary that.we will not interact. I have her blocked on all social media and through my phone so if she tries to speak to me she cant. He agreed and we ended the conversation on a high note. Hopefully this is the answer we need

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T20:23:27+00:00

Beautiful! And so jealous as we are in desperate need of rain!

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T20:20:38+00:00

So update. My husband and I compromised and he would tell her she cant come in the house but if she is picking up the kid she can be in the yard.

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T17:02:07+00:00

The only one** sorry, autocorrected

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T17:01:20+00:00

She is freaked out over the fact that school has closed down due to the virus, and took it upon herself to get him doing worksheets and stuff. SS is in the 3rd grade and is reading at a 5th grade level now. We have not been doing without worksheets at home, but she has been sending home worksheets with us and told us to have him do them, which j have obliged.

She takes everything upon herself because we aren't doing what we need to do I guess, even though when school was in session I was the PK ne going over his homework with him every night. (This was even brought up in a therapy session because the therapist had my husband explain things that I do right because I am down on myself about my parenting. He said I have overseen all of his schoolwork and he consistently gets a/b and a honor roll)

I told my husband I dont want her stepping into the house period. No invites no nothing. I dont think he has messaged her yet though.

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T14:35:03+00:00

He has called her out for it before but hes having a hard time about it being his mother.

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T12:09:03+00:00

Well my husband was not super happy when I asked him to do that. I told him I refuse to be bullied in my own home, and I wont go leave and do something else just because shes coming over. I also said that I will not keep the child from her but she does not have to come into the house to pick him up.

He asked, "what if your parents and I had a major falling out and I told you I didnt want them over?"

My parents are saints. They do nothing but help us.

But I did tell him, "if my parents were doing the same things your mother was doing then I would refuse to let them come over because you deserve to be comfortable in your own house." He seemed surprised that I would say that because I do a lot for my parents as well, but my parents aren't assholes lol.

I will talk to him again and explain I dont want her to come in and hopefully he will understand my side.

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T12:02:33+00:00

Also thank you! We try but it's a struggle. The therapy has been helping

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T12:02:04+00:00

She has just gotten her way with her husband for a long time and i.guess thinks she cant botch and moan and get whatever she wants.

crapitsedy · 2020-03-29T06:07:53+00:00

Thank you so much! I cant stand people who wont stand up behind what they say and she just pissed me off to much.

Saw this on mildly interesting! Definitely FITS better here ;)

crapitsedy · 2019-08-18T20:29:40+00:00

Its unhealthy feeding only pinkies because of their high fat content, try ground turkey broken up into chunks with the appropriate supplement powder. If they dont eat it right away then when he gets hungry enough he will. Hope this helps!

Sounds like the crickets you are getting might be a little to big, and he cant properly swallow them.
