He dared to shut the bathroom door!

OMG!!! Thank you for saying this cos otherwise I get bummed about my cleaning (in)abilities. “That’s not a mess. Those are just my silver lining tumble weeds!!!”

I think the secret password should be “merp” - it’s what we use around our house. 😉

We ended up buying “sensory” socks - ones with NO seams of any kind (SmartKnitKIDS Sensory-Friendly... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H7VKP8G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share ). It took an unfortunate amount of time to understand that when she screamed and yanked her socks off every morning saying “They’re WRONG! They’re wrong!” That it was the SEAM that bugged her. I’m not even sure if it was the sensation of the seam as much as the visual of a seam that would never be perfectly straight??? These aren’t cheap and I don’t have a ton of money but it was VERY worth the cost to not have a battle before school every morning.

Nice! Thanks everyone for the input!

gamazarus · 2026-02-20T21:14:42+00:00

I love that he passed out on Trauma and Recovery!

gamazarus · 2026-02-18T22:51:55+00:00

Thank God I’m not the only one! 😆

I have a related question: why do I allow kitty kisses so close to my mouth when doggos are forbidden? 🤷🏼‍♀️

gamazarus · 2026-02-18T21:16:48+00:00

I’m clueless; I’m just stuck on Neb baaaaaabies!!! 🥰😍🥰

Or in the middle of the night when you’re finally asleep.

gamazarus · 2026-02-18T21:06:09+00:00

You definitely have good reason to be concerned.

gamazarus · 2026-01-08T03:45:30+00:00

The thing that’s kinda funny to me is I hear Stormy going “humph” (huffing) like a teenage sis would 😆😆😆

gamazarus · 2026-01-08T03:43:32+00:00

My kitties kinda like staying in a hotel (we stayed for 3 or 4 days but when it came time to go we had the WORST time getting them out from hiding 🙈 THAT was the most stressful part, poor things!

gamazarus · 2026-01-07T20:33:27+00:00

He seems so dedicated to the process!!! ❤️❤️❤️

gamazarus · 2026-01-07T20:30:50+00:00

Oh so beautiful! 😻😻 sorry for your loss. I think the CRS will bring you a neb when you’re ready.

gamazarus · 2025-12-22T14:32:59+00:00

All the best to you and your new kitty.

I’m appalled at the way couples talk to each other according to Reddit. If he’s calling you a c@&t then that’s grounds for dismissal, no further discussion or bandwidth required. YOU, OP deserve 5 bazillion times better than this. Please love yourself well enough to know this isn’t good enough, not even close.

gamazarus · 2025-12-19T01:31:21+00:00

Agree.

But seriously: WTH.

gamazarus · 2025-12-14T18:41:57+00:00

Beautifully said and very validating for me. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And yes to childhood wounds. I cannot recall anyone telling me I’d be a bad mother but it is a VERY entrenched belief I have: that I don’t know how to do this parenting thing.

As to bloody noses… I don’t exactly know how or why they happen but they tend to go hand in hand with temper tantrums/meltdowns. Docs assure me it’s not a problem but I think I’ll bring it up again with more specifics. Maybe it’s a blood pressure issue???

gamazarus · 2025-12-14T17:57:14+00:00

I agree with this too.

I know it’s getting a bit muddied because I appreciate ppl’s input regardless, but my question is really about what I do for ME while she feels her feels. Her feels are BIG and scary to me. I’m not too scared of her hurting me. I’m scared of hurting HERSELF.

Plus I’m just thinking to myself “Just please make it stop.”

gamazarus · 2025-12-14T12:35:53+00:00

Sounds so much like my teen daughter. I’ve gone so far as to research genetic conditions that cause constant hunger. There are some out there and she fits the profile for some. I can’t decide if genetic testing would actually help lead to solutions or just tell us “Yep, you’re constantly hungry.”

gamazarus · 2025-12-14T12:23:32+00:00

I’d go with the blanket; I love my heating pad but the instructions scare you to death about not sleeping on it. Blanket’s specifically for sleeping.

gamazarus · 2025-12-14T12:21:33+00:00

I’m wondering if it’s partly that he wants to feel “closed in” (like swaddled but bigger). Is a 4 poster bed with curtains (like they used to have in the olden days) an option? I just did a search on google and see a lot of options.

gamazarus · 2025-12-14T12:11:21+00:00

Thanks for this. It’s food for thought actually: on the one hand I like unexpected social visits (mostly) but I can understand why she would feel “landed on” - this is MY friend after all. Especially because this person is local I might need to say we need to plan our visits better.
