    Do you remember when...?

    Parents always rolled thier own and even convinced my ex husband to get into it. It was fun to watch but didn't really love the smell. My kids did a great job at "packing" then for thier dad. Our rollers went from the kind that came free with the tubes all the way to $100 dollar machines...

    Do you remember when...?

    Inthe early 80s my family used cloth onmy 2 siblings to save money. My dad worked as a sheriff and loved his job. But it just didn't make a whole lot and saving any Penny helped. One night he watched us kids a rare occurrence for sure. Had to change one of those wonderful cloth diapers and...

    Teacher says he is sweet as pie, never had had a single upset in her class. Don't get me wrong I'm greatfull and frankly in awe at thier Magic touch upon my son. But come on. NEVER That's because home had become a dumping ground for all his emotion. He comes home and dumps. Runs...

    What the bleep

    Difficult son is 6 and today I had an IEP meeting. Myself and people from 5 different departments. He already has an IEP in place but so much behavior came to a head during the summer that I was way worried about him in the school. Guess it was unfounded. They said he is perfectly normal...

    School, ABA and SSI

    Oh my goodness. I never really thought about him needing a group home or anything. I will admit I have wondered if he will be my forever child (child that never moves out). It is actually a bit of a fear I have. Not saying I wouldn't or couldn't but I don't believe I would be what's best for...

    School, ABA and SSI

    We are finally making headway. Little guy went to a dr and she listened. We are starting testing with U of M. After a ton of tears, videos and melt downs he agreed to getting blood drawn. It was a Christmas Miracle kind of moment. All came back within normal parameters so now we're just...

    Compulsive eating

    Compulsive eating

    I don't believe we are dealing with PWS. Goodness that looked and sounded really scary Poor Babies. I have been doing a higher protein/higher good fat diet for him for about 9 days. It is going well. Yesterday he brought home pockets full of graham crackers from the school cafeteria (unopened)...

    jealous jealous pants on fire Lolol

    Wow Nomad been there often myself. Not exactly mind you but in general. Each time it happens I worry how people will see me, how cold I'm seeming, how ugly my dismissive my behavior is. It is quite hard to get people to see what you do, or to know that what's best for you might not be them...

    Compulsive eating

    Naughty mom called the school and told them we weren't coming. They were actually very good about it and gave me info over the phone and in an email. Instead we went to the roller rink we usually go to. After such a hard time we both needed a smile not more stress. He was so happy, they...

    Having a hard time being nice

    Maybe it is time to upgrade to Bipolar before 18, at least start on the road to stabling medications and see where that goes. One thing I have been taught is that when they say things that aren't ok is not to react ( I know right like hello, how does one not react) your feeding him emotion that...

    ADHD and ODD and depression at my wit's end

    I can only say what it sounds like to me. It sounds like going to the hospital had him fear you leaving him behind. I am sure a new baby exasperates that too. The fact that he is acting out to see how far you are willing to let him go before you act is just the same as a toddler doing something...

    Help. Not sure if this is better here or general. My son is 6 and entering 1st grade. Another school year and no closet to an actual diagnosis than when he was 3.
