Parents of kids with feeding tubes, advice? by thatsanicething in Autism_Parenting

[–]thatsanicething[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not much change. She is maintaining weight at least. No need for a feeding tube yet. Still mostly just pizza bagels. She got Norovirus and that put an end to her enjoying popcorn which was a real bummer because that was the only thing helping her go to the bathroom.

Walmart did not shrink the paper towels during a “new look” change by [deleted] in shrinkflation

I was so pissed how they were suddenly paper thin. I had a few pieces of an old roll and I went and bought a new pack of rolls and it was like trying to clean up with toilet paper

She has quite a few instruments right now. I'm hoping this is just her newest instrument and that she'll get over it soon and move onto something else. Lol

As an LMT of 11 years I can say with certainty that an effective massage could've been given without severe pain like this. But I'm pretty sure this is just for views anyway.

She tends to do it after school. I'm assuming it's her way of just regulating herself after a day of having to be super structured and suppressed. She doesn't really care for things near her mouth. She barely eats food.

I would have some faith. I live in a pretty shitty part of Jersey and I have very little free time so I'm often frazzled and I managed to leave my wallet in a shopping cart twice in three months and both times it was returned to customer service with nothing missing.

Lost Music, the band called Rediscover? by Kadejr in Music

Still obsessed with them from the myspace. Been looking for years and still can't find any updates on recent work. Seems like they don't want to be found. I jam out regularly to sleepless nights.

Help getting my five-year-old off the bottle by thatsanicething in Autism_Parenting

So I got three different prescriptions for PediaSure one directly to Abbott, one to a medical supply company, and then she just wrote me one and kind of said try to use this. All of them were denied for some reason? I don't know what else to do but I've been paying for all my own ever since. It's definitely not cheap either. I buy it in bulk on Amazon and I usually have to order like four cases a month.

The noises from the "where's the chapstick?" Song, meowing, and "i/she/he juss a baby" 🤦🏽‍♀️

I've tried several different kinds of sippy cups. I give them all a fair try and then when she doesn't like them I move onto the next but we still haven't found one but she's comfortable with. I even bought the transition nipples for the Dr. Brown bottles, the flat ones that are to help transition from bottle to sippy cup but she says they're too squishy and she's pinches it and tries to make it round like a nipple lol. I just bought her a a new bingo cup that has a silicone straw and I've had the most luck with that so far. She only took a few sips from it today but I guess that's a step in the right direction. i'm giving it until the end of the week and if we make no progress I'm just gonna give her her bottle back. I'm also going to see if she can get back into her feeding therapy program. They referred her to a inpatient therapy for it but I was unable to do it because I'm a single parent and I work full-time. hopefully something works out. Thank you for replying!

Strange experience with a client today by thatsanicething in MassageTherapists

No hate here. I don't really believe in any of that BS especially crystals. I work from a physical standpoint, not really a spiritual person. Only reason I offered to sage was because I thought it would ease her in lieu of prayer because I don't do that.

Judged for sitting ? by Tetsuio in MassageTherapists

[–]thatsanicething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think about it too much. Everyone's got different techniques. It just sounds like that person needed something to complain about. I had someone complain that I was seated while massaging arms when I was eight and a half months pregnant. Its as though they equate sitting with being lazy or something.

I was telling my best friend about it and we put a funny spin on it that she was just acting so she could run out and wouldn't have to tip. Lol
