I’m trying to get a migraine. If you could spare a quick prayer or send a good vibe or two, I’d appreciate it. I think I’m late on my monthly emgality shot, so I’ll take that now.

Not exactly what you asked, but we're fairly certain my fil is on the spectrum.

Weekends are pretty dead here but I did accomplish a few things today and hope to do more. It’s a beautiful day here!
✅CoffeeRead, lord willing. I feel like I haven’t stopped long enough for that today. Maybe bedtime?
✅Self care
✅order cat toys and scratch post
✅put up laundry
✅make chili
✅Watch football
✅frame poster photo I had done for ds’ Christmas, aggravating as crapola but it looks great
fix eliptical—probably tomorrow. But it WILL be done by Tuesday morning. 🤨
✅duct tape crack on cat carrier
✅Tried to sand the water spot but there’s nothing to sand, so I’ll just spray prime it and spray paint it. see if we have the sandpaper I need to sand table top. I bought a wooden end table, so nice!, yesterday at a thrift shop. It was $16.99 and listed ‘as is’. The only problem we could find was maybe someone had set a glass down on top and it needs a light brush of sandpaper. I love deals like that.
✅Ran to Dollar general for a broom and cat toy and to grocery store to grab cole slaw for tomorrows grilled chili and slaw dogs

I’m waiting on my drs office to call and give me the go-ahead. I’ll probably get it and the flu shot tomorrow. Thanks for this reminder, Scarlett.

Two of my kids chose to be awake for their wisdom tooth extractions because they didn't want to have the after effects of the anesthesia. The doctor must think this will be an uncomplicated case if he said ds can drive home. We always went with the kids just in case they didn't feel well after but they were fine and didn't regret not having the anesthesia. Definitely liquidy foods for the first day or two - pudding, ice cream, jello, shakes, Italian ice, yogurt, oatmeal or hot cereal...after that soft foods like eggs, noodles, mac n cheese, maybe rice, maybe very soft chicken, etc.
it makes me feel better that your kids did well without anesthesia. I’m hoping that’s the right move for him, as well.
I’ll have to tell him to stock up on ice cream since I can’t ship that.-

I didn’t even know they could do it without putting you to sleep! Maybe his are out and just need pulled? Instead of extracted.
I think two are in deep, maybe one is halfway and the last one just needs to be pulled. I talked to the doctor on the phone and the doctor didn’t sound phased by ds wanting just the gas or whatever they use. I think they’re both nuts, but what do I know. Maybe the X-rays are showing they’re not that bad? Idk, my anxiety is increasing just thinking about it.

His gf lives with him so someone will be there to see about him.

This is all excellent advice, thank you! The doctor told him he can drive home since he isn’t getting put to sleep. He opted for that, which I think is nuts, but whatever. I told him I’ll come take him and stay or just drop him off back home, but he doesn’t think he’ll need me. 🤦🏻♀️

There are different types of lanyards. Some are for positioning and some are fir shock absorption in a fall. I’m still learning. I hope you can order all the right things. Once a harness has been used in a fall it has to be replaced.
I didn’t know any of that. 🤦🏻♀️. I’ll look at it and see, I think it’s a tie off to hold him if he falls? I’ll look. His uncle fell off a regular ladder several yrs ago and is paralyze from his waist down now.

Ds22 has to get his wisdom teeth removed next month. He doesn’t live here, so unfortunately I won’t be able to take care of him. What can I get for him and put in a care package? I haven’t dealt with wisdom teeth in 20+ years. What helped you and yours recuperate? What foods can he have? Thanks!

It may be a bartholins cyst? I’ve had one before and I can’t remember if it eventually went away or if they drained it. Either way, I’m glad you’re seeing the dr quickly!! Update when you’re able! 💛

Good morning! Hope y’all had a nice weekend!
we found a kitten in our front yard this weekend. Pretty sure she was dumped. We’re going to keep her as an outside cat but she’ll probably come in occasionally. I’m highly allergic so I can’t have her in often. I called the vet this morning to get her first appt (thursday) scheduled. That was first on the schedule.

I think the major difference is that most of the discussion around blanket training is with very young babies. Potty training is usually done during toddlerhood. That's a whole world of developmental difference.
I may have inadvertently rerouted this thread when responding to mercy about my situation. I think I took it off its intended focus on infants. I apologize it that took it off the rails.
To add to this thread, I think the disturbing part is 'babies' (in my view, 1.5 yrs or so and younger) and the word 'training'. Maybe we all have different definitions for those words? Maybe that's what has been confusing this discussion? I could never punish a baby (and no, I'm not trying to be on a high horse-- I hit my toddler, so I have no moral ground to stand on, just discussing the differences in definitions here.). I don't think it's really possible to 'train' a baby either. Redirect? Sure. But the words, 'train babies' is what I think may mean completely different things to different people. Like I said, in my own personal definition (which I think is obviously different than some people here), I view 'train babies' in such a negative way that it makes my skin crawl reading through the thread. But I suspect it's a matter of definition, because I don't think of any of the people on this thread as being abusive parents, but still... the idea of 'training' 'babies' just makes my stomach clinch.

Kicker/punter would be the only position I wouldn't have an issue with wrt to football. Something could happen, but it's prettty rare.

I'm not judging you - we all have child-rearing regrets - but I just want to make a suggestion about language (as a child who was hit through childhood) - 'popping' sounds like minimizing language to me. It's very cutesy for a term that describes a parent smacking a child.
Children do break these cycles, thankfully. Despite being hit, I never hit my children. I'm sure your son appreciated the apology.
Oh yes, I definitely said 'spank' to him when I apologized and we discussed it. But privately, the guilt eats at me in a serious and unhealthy way and it's easier on me to say pop. It's just something I'll never let go. I hope to God the cycle has been broken completely.

What is popping? Hitting?
Yes. I popped his butt. I did apologize to him when he was older and told him I should never in a million years have done that. He said he'd never pop his own kid and I was so grateful to hear that so hopefully it wont continue for yet another generation. (Although he's very likely to not have kids anyway, but still.)

This seems like common sense. It *should* be common sense. But when I finally had a baby in my 30's, I had no experience at all with them and more importantly I trusted the wrong people to tell me what to do.
The rigidity of my thinking + untreated OCD + lack of sleep + stupid books from friends (including Ezzo and Pearl books) = me thinking that my baby should eat on a strict schedule and that I could "spoil" her by not letting her "cry it out."
Horrible, evil stuff. I would have done better to read *nothing* and follow my instincts. One of my biggest regrets in my whole life is that I tried to follow the advice in those books.
I wish I would have been part of the board then. You all would have helped me tremendously.
My biggest regret is that I popped ds when he was young. I will never forgive myself for that. It eats at me. I wish I had this board back then, too.
