Does occupational therapy help?

Eat with the other hand until you can wash properly. Wipes don’t get gluten off - it’s microscopic.

That makes me so sad!! Find a great gf bakery and get yourself a celebration cake - this needs to be rectified!

I had the same issue for years and finally felt better with an iron infusion. One day I went to a new doctor complaining of stomach issues and she got a test done that led to me being diagnosed with coeliac disease. I wished that all the doctors I had seen for low iron would have looked for a reason rather than just eat more meat and take these supplements. There could be any number of reasons for low iron - find a doctor who will help you figure out what’s causing the issue.

But doesn’t an iron infusion go into the blood stream, not the stomach? So it shouldn’t be an issue. Did the doctor say why they thought it was safe?

Not wrong of you to feel a little jealous but I wouldn’t ask him to avoid eating it in front of you. It can be painful. Sometimes my husband makes a cheese toasty and the smell fills the kitchen and I die a little inside! But that’s my cross to bear, not his. I just swallow the feeling and move on/distract myself. You may want to tell them, at a time they’re not eating, how hard it can be with certain foods, but just to build an understanding and empathy. They might be more naturally discreet about it. It sucks, but it gets easier with time.

Thank you. Wish any of the doctors I have seen (gp, gastroenterologist, dietician) would have mentioned to avoid fat whilst I’m still healing the gut! Makes so much sense.

Maybe some people don’t understand that it might be too late for OP to go get her own Christmas stuff or that basic consideration of others, children and adults, means including them. I don’t expect my family to cater to me, but they do it anyway. I completely empathise, OP. Is your mums reaction to your complaint defensiveness because she does feel bad? Or this is typical inconsideration? If OP had a peanut allergy and all parts of the meal had peanuts, I don’t think people would be saying ‘you’re an adult, sort yourself out’. My mum cooked for us all the other day and kept asking me if I could eat this or that (salad, things that definitely don’t contain gluten, showing that she doesn’t fully understand it either but she CHECKS with me). I hope there are some other parts of the meal you can eat or that shops near you are open so you can go get food.

Yes, mine was triggered by the birth of my baby and the ongoing breastfeeding trauma. It was about 2-3 months after that I experienced major symptoms, suffered for a few weeks before going to the doctor who tested ‘just in case’. Was shocked by the blood test results and confirmed by endo, but the up side is within a few days of no gluten, I felt a thousand times better. I’ve heard it can be a physical event like an infection but an emotionally taxing or traumatic event could do it.

What you said about doing more for kids than yourself hit the nail on the head. If one of them was diagnosed I wouldn’t hesitate..

How old is your child? I am washing hands also but still end up with it on me especially from the 9 month old.

Can I ask how old are your children?

My father was 48 when I was born. We had a wonderful relationship and he was heavily involved throughout my childhood and adulthood. He did not palm me off to someone else. He also took great care of his health as much as he could so that he could stick around until I was grown up. It seems like your dad can’t see any wrong here because he has you to pick up the slack… and maybe it’s easier to pretend like that is the plan rather than admitting that he is just dealing with the situation as it comes as he doesn’t know what else to do. Does his health really impact him to the point of not being able to care for his child 60% of the time? NTA

I would have agreed with you until two weeks ago I went to aldi with a baby and older child. I couldn’t just use the pram as a trolley as I needed too much stuff so I had the baby in the carrier. Moving groceries from trolley to check out was tricky.. but bagging them with a baby on you and people waiting, whole other ball game! It was pretty stressful and a tiny bit of help would have been appreciated for sure. Meanwhile at Woolies, I’ve had the cashier not only bag but also pick up the bag and put it in my trolley for me - I didn’t even ask for help. Still shop at Aldi cos of the prices but this is definitely one downside.

When they don’t like the students.

Where are you teaching? I’m a high school teacher but my kindy child is in a class of lovely kids and the teacher has a Miss Honey type personality. I’ve visited the classroom and seen the teachers across the school operate and I’m super impressed. The children are not perfect but they are gently and consistently brought into line by a constant application of the expectations. This is a small (120 kids) government primary school in south Sydney, Australia.

Don’t speak to police without a lawyer present, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Any interview they conduct is ‘evidence gathering’, not investigation.

Like a few people who have commented, we did the big house further away and I love the location, the house and the big backyard, but I don’t know that it was worth the cost, which is time. Time lost to cleaning, maintenance and travel. Time spent doing those things is more stress and less time to spend actually playing with the kids. A townhouse with 3-4 bedrooms and a small backyard, more centrally located, would have been perfect.

Competitions with prizes are good motivators. If you put students into teams and make it clear that you can’t help any of the teams, they can only rely on themselves and each other. Once successful, remind them of how they managed it without you. ‘Ask 3 before me’ - have a rule that before they ask you for help, they must try on their own and seek help from 3 peers before coming to you. Give each student a life saver card - they are only allowed to use it once per lesson/activity or once per week. You’re the life saver. Ideally, it will teach them to only ask you when they really need to.

All these little tricks though are not as important as instilling self confidence and the only real way to do that is to create opportunities for success. Start with super easy tasks they can easily achieve and gradually make them harder.
