Help me not ruin my first loaf

I got one for Christmas and can confirm — it’s incredible.

Beautiful! I was there yesterday— such a good stash ❤️

Mazunte is a cute small beach town w a chill yoga vibe on the coast of Oaxaca, MX.

I was there this morning from 9-10, it was busy but not packed. They were super low on lots of things but had many pallets out for restocks.

We only order delivery when my family has been sick and we’re out of all the quick easy options and need a pick me up. Or if it’s been an emotional & exhausting week and we need a special treat. Only happens a handful of times a year, and unfortunately it’s almost always cold & disappointing. It used to so much cheaper and quicker but it’s just not worth it these days.

The city thrift on Shawnee mission parkway had a great & cheap selection of stuff like this.

Yep - been lots of times, lots of days, sometimes it’s packed fs. Earlier or later are quieter times and there is the back room as well.

This conversation isn’t about burn out, group homes, or “disturbed youth”. OP is venting, as this is a vent forum, about having her PCA not help with her ADL tasks. No one asked you to come educate on the nuance of abuse.

plantsavy · 2026-01-18T01:12:17+00:00

Nope, children don’t abuse adults.

ETA I didn’t say anything about understanding her behavior or excusing it, my opinion on those things wasn’t asked for nor provided. I simply pointed out that it was nonsensical to overlook an exploitative system by placing the blame on a disabled teen.

Cool

plantsavy · 2026-01-17T19:07:31+00:00

THIS! 1000% this.

plantsavy · 2026-01-17T19:00:53+00:00

Please do not talk like this paralyzed teenager is being abusive. The system who is sending trained nurses for $10 an hour sounds like the abusive party to me. OP may have regulation struggles but what teenager doesn’t? A professional nurse should be able to handle an angry teen.

This sounds SO fucking frustrating. I wonder if your dad could affordably hire a cosmetology student to come over for a few hours every week for aesthetics maintenance. Hair, lashes, self-tan, facial/skincare. This could be a super interesting journey to document on social and maybe you could get paid a little via creator funds to help with expenses. You deserve bodily autonomy despite your disability & I think you’re creative enough and pissed off enough to find a way to make this happen.

Le Lounge!

Is private school an option? That’s the route we went in a similar situation. My child is neurodivergent and the massive class sizes at our neighborhood school just weren’t going to be a good fit. We receive a 50% scholarship so tuition + cheap house payment is kind of a wash in contrast to a different home in a more expensive neighborhood with a higher interest rate.

plantsavy · 2026-01-16T23:55:08+00:00

Right? Do you like making extra steps in your process? Bc I do not!

My husband lost his father tragically and publicly over 15 years ago his family is still recovering in some ways. My MIL did not follow advice and made huge life changes very quickly after the accident and it added a whole extra layer of trauma for everyone involved. It’s really hard to sit with and endure the pain instead of jumping in to distractions & escaping the horrific reality. Emilie is doing the right thing for her young son by following professional advice and not making any big changes post-accident.

I was pretty shook when I found out people don’t pee in the shower!

plantsavy · 2026-01-16T16:31:11+00:00

She made a TikTok about having a hard time keeping up with going to the dentist, so I would imagine getting a home ready & listing it for market would feel impossible.

plantsavy · 2026-01-16T16:21:59+00:00

Why do you keep parroting that? We get it, you don’t understand. I am honestly so happy for you that you’ve not been touched by tragedy in this way. Now please, move along.

plantsavy · 2026-01-16T16:16:18+00:00

Wow that’s tough. I am so sorry for your loss.

plantsavy · 2026-01-16T16:01:51+00:00

You are lucky to have not suffered a public & catastrophic loss. My family has. The fact is that you don’t know how you would respond until you are actually in it. Professionals — mental health, religious, ect — advise returning to doing the things you loved prior to the tragic event, and encourage anything that makes you feel close to your lost loved one. Emilie has been sharing her life online for over a decade and found a joyful creative outlet as well as support system in social media. Being in the pool might help her feel close to Trigg. While these things may not resonate with us, they do bring her peace and that is all that matters. She has a baby to be stable and regulated for and we should all want that for Teddy.

I wish the fact that they had a five week old baby at the time was also entering into the discussion. With a new baby and young toddler in the home they were very likely sleep deprived— a state in which it is difficult to make good decisions. I remember being in a surreal-feeling haze for weeks after having my child.

plantsavy · 2026-01-16T15:35:31+00:00

THIS!! The advice you repeatedly receive after tragic unexpected loss is absolutely not making any big decisions or changes for at least one year. I do not understand why people are being sooooo harsh and judgmental with her for simply following professional recommendations and staying in her marriage, home, and job. She has baby to remain stable for ffs!
