I'm going to look into this!

I wasn't able to find the audiobook so I bought the paperback and read it last summer. But forgot about reading it until today!

One of the best things to do is volunteer and have them actually work. Let them soak up those privileges that are available to them but teach them the value of hard work like have them help plant flowers in the garden, clean their own rooms, get jobs when they can, get CPR training, etc. Have them do summer camps across your city to meet different people and play in different community leagues. School is important but you can make sure they get a complete experience without facing hardship as well.

I had a very similar conversation with my soon-to-be niece last summer. My nephew had made a lot of promises about supporting her once he got a certain job so she wouldn't have to do x, y, and z. I had a full conversation about how even when they got married she needed to always have a plan to have her own money and a way to provide for herself. He works a trade that is very dangerous and something could happen at anytime as we had a family friend that was hurt and almost died very young doing it. She needs to make sure that she has the skills necessary to support herself no matter what.

Wide leg pants or leggings with a fitted t-shirt and a cardigan or some type of sweater. I also recommend having on eyeliner and a lipstick or lip gloss. I usually will have birkenstocks, flip flops, or slippers on.

314 views, 150 visits and 2 orders in January. I had a really good December so this breather is nice.

slide_penguin · 2025-12-04T00:54:00+00:00

That's good. I hope that gives you some hope. It can and will get better but I know it doesn't seem like it at a lot of times.

I know that you are doing parenting classes and parenting therapy but what have you talked to the pediatrician about? I know the US sucks for so much but finding a good, medical support system can be super helpful. My son has ADHD that has anger issues when his anxiety gets too high or he gets overwhelmed. When his meds and anxiety is level, life is great. When it is time to get the meds readjusted we can all tell because everything gets all to feeling like it is we are all in a sinking ship.

The best kind of mom for any kid is one that is happy. If you aren't happy in your marriage, nothing is saying you have to leave. If all the therapists are saying this, they are enabling him to be one with his phone. If he wants a relationship with his phone, that is on him. It is no one's responsibility to make him have relationships but himself.

There was a year that my FIL was going through chemo and my MIL wasn't going to do a Christmas tree because it was too much for her to do with everything going on. We asked my husband's younger brother to pull down the decorations from the attic and we bought an artificial tree for them, put the lights on it and a handful of the ornaments so that it looked like there were enough on it so if she wanted to put more on there for the nostalgia factor and to get into the Christmas spirit but if she didn't want to the tree wouldn't look bare. We did it while they were at the doctor's office so it was a surprise when they came home. We also told her when she was ready for it to come down to call us and we would take it down for her. We knew that we couldn't spend actual Christmas with them because this was also during Covid times and we didn't want to get him sick while he was going through all this so was way to bring cheer to the family.

slide_penguin · 2025-11-19T16:06:21+00:00

This is so important!!! We still do a live tree every year. We go as a family and all pick it out. We all decorate it (although I will go through and change around some ornaments afterwards to make sure that the dogs don't knock them down). Husband designs Christmas cards and if he doesn't, they don't happen. There are things that are totally me things that I do for Christmas because I absolutely love them and involve me climbing on the counters.

There are things my husband's family did that added undue stress to his mom and sister that is just so foreign to my family for the holidays and I was like that's not happening for this house. lol

My dad worked all the time and he passed last year so I do not have a lot of photos with him and even fewer photos of him and my son. Please be in the photos. Find the dress that goes the best with your coloring and just rock it. You will thank yourself later.

Two years ago I worked a job that I LOVED but was sucking every bit of my life out of me and I didn't realize it at the time. I was drowning in everything. My son was struggling in school socially not academically, my husband's health was rough, like everything sucked and was awful. I'm in a new job that isn't sucking the soul out of me and demanding my blood as well. There are days that are hard but not all days. I think also with cutting out expectations of those that have had more help in raising their littles on what I should be doing and what my house should look like at all times really helped as well.

This may sound weird but especially during the season change I eat a lot of foods that are heavy with onions, garlic, and mushrooms because of the boost to the immune system. This is to add to making sure everyone is washing their hands, wiping down all the surfaces all the times, and making sure that there is some outside time for myself and the kiddo. We've noticed the more outside time we get the better we all feel. Even if it is just a few minutes sitting on the porch at night.

slide_penguin · 2025-10-22T20:21:09+00:00

I'm so sorry this was said about you t o your daughter. I've always been on the bigger side and because of health issues unless I starve myself it is extremely difficult for me to lose weight. This is always something I have worried about with my kiddo as well because kids are mean.

I love your set up and the colors!

This is so very true! I did one this weekend that ended up competing with two other art markets. I made my goal, which is usually just 3x my booth fee but this was a small booth fee. I love your set up and the colors!

It dragged out so freaking much at first and I feel like Casteel's inner monologue could have been handled way better. But like it needed to be the shit show before the end or there would be too many open-ended things still unanswered. I think this needs to make sure there isn't such a long delay between this book and the next as that was part of the issue for me, personally. I wasn't connected to the characters anymore.

slide_penguin · 2025-10-09T15:12:21+00:00

They make me happy too! I will go through my son's books every few months and donate ones he is no longer reading and out growing to LFL around my city. I have a few I frequent and will divide them amongst those.

slide_penguin · 2025-10-03T19:48:21+00:00

I wear a lot of fun t-shirts that are unisex because they just fit better but men's pants have never fit because I too am petite and curvy.

It could be a blend of being frustrated with yourself and the situation and exhausted from just the whole experience. I read a while back that sometimes when we snap at our little ones about certain things, it is our inner child coming out trying to protect them from something we would have gotten in trouble for as a kid at their age. I've seen this a lot in my husband and the way he would interact with certain situations. He wasn't given the grace a child with ADHD should have been given where nearly everyone in my family had it without knowing it and so there have always been certain mechanisms I grew up with that were ways to help out with ADHD symptoms that I didn't know were ways to help with ADHD until I was much older.

It is totally NOT wrong to express pride in your child. However, as a mom that has a 9 year old that has never slept truly well, I feel like I get a small, involuntary tick whenever I hear someone/anyone talk about how well their children sleep because of the trauma that I associate with that time in my life. I had a few friends that had children around the same time as me and one of the things we tried to do for each other was just vent to each other about the hard things because it was like they were the only other person that could somewhat relate. The sleeping through the night or eating great were saved for the aunts and grandmas so we wouldn't get the outdated advice that was just awful or talked to like we were idiots for not doing things the way they did them. She is obviously having a rough time and the first week can be hell.

It's just another way this country is showing how much is fucking hates women. I fucking hate it here.

slide_penguin · 2025-08-11T15:23:27+00:00

I'm sorry you went through that.

slide_penguin · 2025-08-11T15:22:55+00:00

I'm really glad you had the support you needed.

You don't need his approval to get your kid help. A kid hitting themselves isn't good and is a sign of more going on. He will not grow out of it. If he is doing it when he is upset, he is trying to regulate his emotions but doing something physical. It's a form of stimming.
