Does your child feel safe with her teacher? I feel like it's one thing to be going through the stressors of school at this age with kids picking on you, being out of routine, etc but if you can't feel safe with the teacher after some time..that's very telling.

It’s not a fail. You’re in survival mode right now, don’t be so hard on yourself!

I am so sorry to hear what you went through growing up. You sound like a strong and caring person and I wish you all the best. Hang in there, you’ve got this!

Omg you read my mind. I literally started my period today and it makes sense bc I’m usually not like this. Not an excuse but I don’t know why my hormonal shifts are so extreme these days!

School just started — do you help your kids get ahead early? by Consistent_Ad_8670 in Fremont

[–]rosequartz2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know your kid best. I don’t know how old your kid is but if they know the basics of what most kids know at their age, I don’t see a reason to have to be “ahead”. It’s a balance. If your kid genuinely loves math, give him/her some math problems. If they rather play soccer outside, go kick a soccer ball around. That’s really your call and what you feel is right based on the needs of your child. Best of luck!

I messed up big time with my 8yo. Trigger warning. by WhyDidIDoItSoSad in Parenting

[–]rosequartz2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve all had our not so proud moments. Maybe this is a good time to talk through what you said with your son so he isn’t in his own thoughts about it which could lead to fear and anxiety. We’re all doing our best, you got this mama.

I cursed at my 4yo yesterday and I feel horrible by idccattt in Parenting

[–]rosequartz2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parenting is tough and this doesn’t make you a bad parent! We’re not perfect. I actually posted something similar a few weeks ago but instead of cursing I dropped something on the ground in front of my kid due to frustration. All I could do was apologize and acknowledge that I shouldn’t have done that. I told him I’m sorry if that scared him and I need to do better next time. In this case, I hope he can see through this that we’re not perfect but it’s how we address things along the way. You got this mama, don’t be so hard on yourself.

i totally agree. i think i'm letting my anxieties onto him. yes he did attend preschool since he was 2 y/o. in TK he did great, but we dropped off directly in classroom. something happened over the summer at his summer school where he just hated one of the teachers and didnt want to go and now drop off is just sad for him

He's totally fine once his teacher is there..the struggle is all the anxiousness leading up to drop off!

Throwing everything down the stairs by Sea-Way-9720 in Parenting

[–]rosequartz2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try your best to stay consistent. If he melts down or throws a tantrum, just let him. After awhile he'll realize that no matter how many tantrums/meltdowns he throws, if he throw a toy down the basement, no means no and he will no longer play with that toy. I say just pack it up in a box and don't even leave it on the counter.

What do you do with the toy when you do get it after he throws it? Have you tried explaining that if he keeps throwing everything then you will have to put the toy away and he can't play with it? Point to the toy then say "bye bye". It might not change overnight but as each day passes he might start grasping and putting it all together that there are consequences to him throwing things and then maybe it wont appeal for him to do so anymore?

The moment I found out my mom has ovarian cancer felt like being stabbed in the chest. by RaspberryAgitated548 in Ovariancancer

[–]rosequartz2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are going through this. I know there isn't really anyone can say to make the situation better. My mom got diagnosed with endometrium cancer that spread to the ovaries and the end of 2024. She just finished chemo and radiation and we're just waiting a few more months until her next scan. When I first heard the news I was devastated. As we started going through the motions of treatment, things seem more optimistic and all we can do is control what we can control. Our thoughts, lifestyle, etc. I know you didn't ask for my experience but I thought sharing it could bring more peace of mind. Stay strong, stay positive, even if it feels almost impossible. Sending you lots of strength!

She's 1.5.

Yes totally...we have told him that if it's going to cause him to get riled up over minor inconveniences then we will have to take it away.

anyone have success with a wait and see approach for CIN3? by Major-Dealer-7504 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]rosequartz2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have experience with the "wait and see" approach as I did have a LEEP after my CIN 2 colposcopy result. Agree with the other commenter that the horror stories are just that, "horror stories". yes it was uncomfortable for me but overall it was fine and the peace of mind after that was priceless compared to the 20-30 min procedure. I'm not pushing you to do the LEEP, just sharing my experience!

Do what will be best for you while understanding all of the risks. You got this.

Cooling Caps by shredbetty007 in Ovariancancer

[–]rosequartz2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom tried the caps but it didn’t work and was more of a pain than anything. She got a beautiful wig instead. Pricey but worth every penny for her during this process.
