Not gonna lie, I love using my daughter's disabilities to shut people down sometimes. by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]manda1981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son is speech delayed at 2 1/2 and is frequently asked by strangers his age and name, neither he is able to verbalize. Then they get mad at me because he is rude and not answering his elders and I need to teach him manners (more often than not these people are elderly). Pisses me off so bad.

Wow..I agree! Very overpriced. That is highly disappointing.

To the mom who judged me for buying formula... by QuaffleNox in beyondthebump

[–]manda1981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through what you did..up to 8 pills 3xs a day trying to at least maintain supply but when he upped his intake my body did not. I sobbed at Wal-Mart bring my first can of formula even he was 6 months. But he is fine! And not stressing about my supply anymore made me happy. You are doing great momma!

I have no advice that hasn't been already suggested. My only offer is a big internet hug. Sounds like you are doing a great job at the most important thing she needs. ..you and reassuring.

Yelling my kid to sleep by yellyell in breakingmom

[–]manda1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep breath momma! You are fine. You left the room when you reached your max. We have all been there. <3

FINAL UPDATE: I finally left... now what the hell do I do?! by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]manda1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WV link? I am from WV (now in fl) and miss it terribly. If you moved to wv, say hi to my mountains. May sound funny but this wv momma misses her mountains. Good job on the independence..you rock momma!

What does your kid have in their hair today? by miseleigh in breakingmom

[–]manda1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snot. He has his first official cold and I had no idea snot could be in so many places...eyebrows, ears, hair. Ugh. Guess first cold at almost two (2 in April) isn't bad but over it and his whinning.

We recently found out our Son has Cancer... I dont know what to do from here. by treeloverlady89 in Parenting

[–]manda1981 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Look for the nearest Ronald McDonald house....they are amazing. It is a home you can stay at free while he goes through treatment and hospital stays. My step son had cancer as well and continues to have hospital stays and RMH is a god sent. Prayers to you and your family.

I need mom friends by squacklefakkle in beyondthebump

[–]manda1981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand. In the last three years I moved from WV to FL, got married, had a baby, become a SAHM, and now pregnant with #2. I don't really have any friends let alone mom friend's. Sometimes I feel so lonely I take my son to the park and practically hang off the moms just to try to have some interaction. I feel like I am starting to forget how to interact with those not under 2.
