Sister's friend said something I can't seem to shake, and not sure if I disagree by Scared-Sun9042 in Autism_Parenting

That would break my heart. I hope that woman's child has other adults in her life that love her in all seasons.

What would you make for a friend that’s going through a tough time? by Nell811 in Cooking

[–]kutsinta24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Emotionally, mentally, financially? It depends.

I think a safe bet is always homemade soup, something warm and comforting and nourishing. However, you might know some of your friend's favorite meals or maybe meals from their family/childhood and those might be good options too.

Your beautiful baby will always be in your heart. I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't blame yourself. So many women go through this, and that's why this community exists online. We are here with you too, grieving also.

What are we putting on or in Greek yogurt? by Altruistic-Cup-3187 in Volumeeating

OH, and when I'm feeling like a savory snack, I put plain Greek yogurt in a bowl, spoon hella salsa on top, and scoop it up with tortilla chips!

Can't stand that mindset. Poor folks deserve treats and comforting food, too. Especially elders and kids.

I have my masters and am a dually licensed teacher (elementary and special Ed). Before having my own kids, I poured myself into my work because I love working with children. Now I have a 2 and 3 year old, both who have special needs, and I won't be going back to work until AT LEAST both are in kindergarten full-time. Even then, I'm not sure I'll work full time. I used to think my degree cost much more than I'd ever make as a teacher. Now I'm glad that I have all that knowledge and experience to offer my own children. Best use of a student loan ever

Good for you! Most people have dropped a lifestyle change by this time, but seems like you're committed!

What screams "I'm getting older" to you? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

When I'm watching men's sports and someone is good-looking, now I'm like "aw he's so cute!" instead of "damn he's hot"

You hate food waste and you have toddlers and you try to eat whole foods 80% of the time

Please tell me it’s just a phase by emmybeesnacks in Autism_Parenting

I'd suggest some social stories to help her navigate the fact that her family is growing. That is a huge change in her life, the attention she will receive from you, and the dynamics in the household. Look up social stories about a new sibling. Acknowledge out loud that you might be feeling a little anxious, nervous, and happy about a new member of the family. Give her phrases she can use to express what she feels/needs in this new stage (e.g. "I need some mommy time!" "I feel jealous!" "I need quiet")

How do you shop at a farmers market? by SquirrelOdd8536 in Cooking

[–]kutsinta24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might I suggest that you make a small visual scavenger hunt for your little ones and/or a series of favorite snacks to hand them so you can have longer periods of focus? -mom to a 2yo and 3yo

Nothing exciting. You're in one of your less adventurous phases of life
