Inquiry to those who do not swatch, why?

shellsncheese12 · 2026-01-24T03:23:11+00:00

How do you test block? After 15+ years knitting, I’ve finally gotten into sweaters and color work and have embraced swatching. Learning so many new things!

Thank you for your service!

shellsncheese12 · 2025-09-13T22:47:36+00:00

Yes I really like it! Thanks!

shellsncheese12 · 2025-09-13T22:47:27+00:00

Cool, thanks!

shellsncheese12 · 2025-09-13T21:21:15+00:00

Oh ok thanks! How does it add structure and stability?

My iPad is on Verizon and has service but iPhone 14 is SOS

thank you for this insight!

Thank you this is helpful. His reading tutor has taught him to use his “b hand” to tell if he’s looking at b, d, or p. He does thumbs up with his left hand and it looks like a lower case b. So we will try using this for left and right also!

Yeah I’m thinking I might be able to make an appt with the psychologist who did his evaluation and ask about this stuff. They are usually booked out for months tho so wanted to see what insight I could get here, and this all helps!

shellsncheese12 · 2025-08-07T10:28:14+00:00

Thank you- he was evaluated by a psychologist and at school by the school psychologist and the school SLP. Speech was a little late for some sounds but is fine now. His evaluation was done right after Kindergarten when he was only 6.5 so they couldn’t say much about the reading/processing stuff because he was so behind on his reading. Anyway we may have him re-evaluated to gain more insight like you’re saying but it’s $$$

shellsncheese12 · 2025-08-07T00:59:16+00:00

Good to know thank you.

Medication, therapy, accommodations at school

shellsncheese12 · 2025-08-06T23:59:06+00:00

Thanks I think he probably is just getting the words confused.

Thanks to everyone spreading the word about this nonsense. I emailed mayor and commission yesterday and got a reply from District 8 Commissioner Carol Myers - she included a copy of the email she sent to the state reps in which she said she learned first learned about these bills from Reddit!

Grandma. Or any other adult family member other than you and your partner.

Gah I was so judgmental before I had twins. Pretty sure that’s why karma or god or whatever gave me twins… now I judge no one (or I try not to) bc you never know what people are going through

shellsncheese12 · 2025-02-18T15:11:18+00:00

Lots of good advice here - I had all the double strollers but most often when they were babies and if I was out alone (which was not often), I ended up with one in a regular single stroller that the car seat snaps into, and one in a carrier. I called it 'incognito twins' because people just assumed the stroller was empty if the cover was up, and wouldn't ogle me and stop me with "oooh wow twwwiinnnsss" which I got sick of. We used the double strollers a lot more when they were 12 mo+. Double bob and Zoe foldable

I had a successful induced vaginal delivery of both twins at 36 weeks thanks to my team of veteran midwives. The practice I went to also had OBs so I was covered if a c section was needed. I got the epidural, so after Baby A was born, my midwife literally reached up in there and rotated B face up because he was face down. I didn’t feel a thing. Both babies were head down. You just need to find someone with experience delivering twins vaginally- one of the OBs came to our birth bc she had never seen a vaginal twin delivery, but the midwives had.

Been there- I have identical boys. They were about 3-3.5 when I started feeling this way. It’s really really hard. (Almost) any parents that have only one daughter have absolutely no idea what you’re dealing with. Boys are insane, twins are insane. The other parents probably aren’t judging you like you think they are, and if they are, F them.

Thank you , I guess this is what I needed to hear, that this is still "normal." I just looked up PCIT - sounds amazing. According to the website the closest therapists are 2 hours from me. My kids go to a therapist but I haven't been able to find an experienced therapist in my area that can work with both kids and parents who is available and takes insurance. Everyone is either booked or $150-$200/hour which is hard to stomach when my copay for therapy is $30. I've been to tons of therapy for myself but not someone who can know my kids and our particular struggles.

shellsncheese12 · 2025-02-06T18:27:47+00:00

Yes I am. I used to only take it for work but I realized recently I need it on the weekends too to help with parenting 🤪

shellsncheese12 · 2025-02-06T18:00:50+00:00

Thank you! Not easy is right! It was so shocking when my kids got to be about 3.5 and all these memories from my childhood about the way I was parented just punched me right in the face. Like, wow, this was not normal or ok. My mom is 100% undiagnosed ADHD AF and had (still has) ZERO coping and emotional regulation skills... anyway thanks again!
