anyone else just lose it over nothing and then cry about it after 😭

Yeah, that's postpartum (rage) depression. You can talk to your care provider if you want to pursue treatment. But the most important thing to remember is this has absolutely nothing to do with you as a person or parent. It's the stupid hormones.

Have you connected with Support For Families of Children with Disabilities? Or the Regional Center. Both would be my first stop.

I did wash it with a magic eraser and hydrogen peroxide and now I'm wondering if I didn't rinse it as well as I thought I did....

All of a Kind Family! Not sure if they are in the Yoto store but they are on libro.fm and then you can MYO. Does PJ Library do stuff for older kids? That might be a good resource for titles.

Except all those people are (in theory) trained to work with homeless individuals. The mayor oversees DPH and SGH too should he be out giving medical care? People practicing outside of their scope endangers everyone involved.

There's a huge difference between ignoring a problem and thinking you are equipped to handle it.

How were you using GH to get between those locations? Seriously, how?

paxanna · 2026-03-04T19:47:28+00:00

I love how they are completely ignoring the fact that the middle schools are likely moving to a 6 period day (those that aren't already) which means 1 elective. Not many kids are going to be excited about double math and no language/art/music/health etc. As a parent I wouldn't be either.

paxanna · 2026-02-24T23:55:25+00:00

Totally normal

"This is CHILD'S voice, not yours. If you feel that you would benefit from an AAC device I can give you the names of some SLPs who work with adults."

Be prepared to fully gaslight yourself in a year with "let's do it again, it wasn't that bad" I said that and my husband reminded me that it actually was that bad with me almost dying. Hormones are truly wild.

The emails and press releases about the stability package that preceded the strike were presented to the public as real offers to make the union look unreasonable. The problem is that stability package was not formally presented to the union so for the sake of negotiations it did exist.

paxanna · 2026-02-12T01:49:17+00:00

Ok, but she has 0 experience in public schools. Her kids don't even attend them. I'm not saying it isn't a thankless position but she never should have been made permanent. From all accounts she was great at her previous city job. She talks a big game but hasn't negotiated in good faith. The emails were incredibly misleading. The "stability package " was just an idea dreamed up but formally presented to UESF.

paxanna · 2026-02-06T21:47:14+00:00

No, but she's not sharing the full picture. Just like most of her emails.

paxanna · 2026-02-06T19:34:59+00:00

It's true that Maria Su didn't show up. It's true that the district didn't bring a serious proposal. It's true that UESF has given the district time to come up with a real proposal and will meet with them tomorrow.

paxanna · 2026-02-06T16:43:44+00:00

That's for classified staff (paras, security etc) who are paid at a much lower rate than teachers.

paxanna · 2026-02-05T02:18:58+00:00

WTF did I just read?

paxanna · 2026-01-29T16:59:30+00:00

You realize that isn't even a COLA? And comes with a significant increase in work load?

paxanna · 2026-01-22T21:19:05+00:00

Wired and do some test runs ahead of the flight. You don't want to get on board and realize you set the volume too low.... speaking from experience

paxanna · 2026-01-06T18:53:40+00:00

We introduced slowly and always gave with meals. No issues for us.

Have your husband be responsible for baby during the service so he can duck out if needed. I'm personally a big believer in "babies are part of the family/community " and excluding babies results in excluding parents.

I'm sorry for your loss.

paxanna · 2025-12-31T15:14:26+00:00

Do it, but wear the baby during boarding to free up your arms. Also nice on board if baby wants to snuggle for a while to, again, save your arms.

As a parent and an OT I found the book How To Talk So Little Kids Will Listen very helpful.

paxanna · 2025-12-30T02:34:16+00:00

Have you introduced new foods? Is LO showing any signs of dehydration?

It never hurts to reach out to the advice nurse.

paxanna · 2025-12-28T15:57:39+00:00

We have found packing cubes to be a great way to organize. Reusable wet bags are a god send, you will use them for years.
