ok who is Connie and Mitch?

nothing to add but a THANKS from someone who is sensitive and a dd who is allergic!

I have not been near your shoes as my dd is only 6 however I watched my parents kick my oldest brother out of the house twice and then feeling bad for doing so then letting the youngest barely graduate hs then do nothing but play video games. While I would LOVE to tell you the oldest is a Executive for Boeing he is not but he figured out his life and is living it on his terms. He is married to the same woman for 20 plus years and two wonderful boys. The youngest child is 23 and does NOTHING all day and video games all night. My mom is a sick and who needs him to help her and I get calls to come over because mom needs to eat and he doesnt feel like walking to go get her anything to eat (dad works full time and there is plenty of food in the house but he wont cook or drive) or mom needs to do this or that. Dad wants to do the tough love he did with the rest of us but mom thinks it was mean (he is the baby and there is about 15 years between the last two). At 23 (24 soon) he has never worked a day in his life nor has even been behind the wheel of the car that mom and dad bought him or any other. dad has to take off work or I need to take mom to her every appt My husband and I have discussed this at length because he was the student that would sign up on mom and dad dime and then drop all the classes but the "fun" ones. His mom even said she would buy him the car of his choice if he would just graduate. I never had that option but I knew mom and dad would kick me out if I did not work full time and contribute (plus I had to pay for my own car and insurance hubby never did) I knew I would not do well in college so I found a full time job that grew in to a great job hubby worked part time and partied (till he met me and I made him shape up ;) ). They would have been OK if I went to college but it was still on my dime. My hubby and I agree that what my parents did was better. They gave me (and three of my sibling) tough love and we are all productive members of society (no we were not all kicked out only the oldest in fact two of us lived there in to our 20s). If I had not met my hubby he believes that he would have continued signing up for classes going the first weeks and then going back to hanging out and working part time and by Oct or Feb never or rarely going to classes or most of them. He knew that he could and with me he couldnt. His mom gave him all kinds of carrots (cakes cookies anything she could think of) With us as harsh as our friends think I am with our dd I have high expectations of her and will with great pain do what my dad did to my oldest brother and kick him out and then go to my room and not come out for as long as it takes

((((HUGS)))

what did she recommend or the constipation?

Since we are talking ballet... My dd is 6 and has been dancing since shew as 2. Everyone tells me she is born to dance. I know she loves the stage and memorizes the steps well and can do well when she focuses. She has done one professional proformance this Christmas with the Nutcracker but was asked to audition a year a a go I just couldnt see her being ok with being away from us for that many hours and just hanging out back stage due to some health issues. Long story short is she is in a more recreational type studio. I LOVE the studio. She wants to be a ballernia like most little girls. We could sign her up at a professional studio however she loves the tap and jazz which they dont offer and right now I cant swing both (she does take ballet thru our co-op with a professionally trained ballerina but is not connected any more) Since she is so young should I keep her where she is or move her to the professional studio?

Most sleep centers associated with hospitals will help you with or with out insurance with paying for the sleep study. When you are working with the equipment provider they can get you refurbished machine for less. These company's in my experience are able to work with you. My sister in law has worked out not only her various sleep studies but also for machines and masks. If you snore you either have apnea or you will. My hubby and I havent sleep in the same bed in years. We work two different shifts different days off. Sadly he snores however does not yet qualify for a CPAP.... yet.

Thank you all for your thoughts. I am using WWE but even there she was to write out what she "has" to and then tell me every detail or dad. She will only write as bare minimum as possible. Part of it is she loves to talk and wants as much as mommy and daddy's attention but listening to her I want her to be able to focus on getting in writing and then limit as to what is really necessary to share. I will look at the links

For baking we use palm or coconut sugar as it does not raise the blood sugar and taste like brown sugar to us. and we do it 1 to 1 but we also rarely bake.....

we have had to do LOTS of fleet ped enema's NOT NOT fun but works as well as a warm tub

Thank you She can verbally tell you every detail of the book. And discuss why she thinks this and that but can not get thoughts on paper but can say them so I thought book report could give her a way do that hmm. Kind of using it as handwriting and grammar as well as expressing written thought. Off to think some more

At what age/grade do you start writing book reports? Do you forms or have them write it out paragraph style? Thanks

I hope your little one feels better. I have found with ALL of the different GI specialist we have seen that they know everyting and we know nothing and sometimes can careless what your dr thinks because well they know everything. My little on is allergic to dairy and soy (athough does not show up on allergy testing anymore she got in to my cream cheese and now has belly issues and a rash on her face to prove her guilt er allergy. We have had glutten in the house recently due to the holidays and am regretting it. While we didnt cook anything with it it still was on the counters (thankfully only on paper plates) so I am going to have to do a deep clean and pray I get it mostly out of the house. Good luck on this journey. It is always an interesting ride.

My husband is the main teacher. I do the research and getting the supplies and laying everything out. I write the newsletter for our homeschool group but he is the one that goes to the meetings. Mostly he is the only guy but the group gives him good support. He goes on the field trips with him and is included. His bestfriend is also the primary homeschool teach but him and his wife switch off doing lesson plans.

Do you know what is causing the wake up? Is it always at a certain time? Does the child have a strict or loose bed time schedule?

Thank you. We have seen every speciallist that we can here and sent out stuff to see other specialists. Most people would never know she is in pain. She can have four large BMs a day and still be constipated with or with out Miralax. When her belly gets so big we take her in they xray and then give her stronger stuff and endmas to get rid of the excess. They even tests her for Hirshprungs but mostly boys get that. Typically they find that when they are really young. She is six now but about 2 when tested.

My daughter has been having troubles since we brought her home. She stopped having bowel movements naturally when we introduced solid foods. She has several food allergies. However she has reactions to the actual product and not necessarly what they use to do the skin test. They did a skin test on her and blood test said she was no longer allergic to eggs so they did a food challenge. Within seconds her face swelled up with the first bit. The dr said that wasnt possible since it wasnt in the numbers. We have had all kinds of test. She lives in daily pain. We have given up all glutten (even making sure lotions ect doesnt have it) oats corn and go for periods without rice (white rice is better for her than brown due to processing the fiber shell) She eats low fruit mainly apples banana's and berries just about what ever veggie and beans. She needs six 6 for length in pants and shirts but needs 3t for waist size She does have two caps of Miralax a day to help. We use apple cider vinegar to help with her stop acid keeping that in check. Because she is high acid we do bone broth and she has bone meal in her morning drink.

$0.00 We are going to only buy what is necessary no more soda and wine and try a pre done food plan using mostly what we have on hand.

Is this new or has it always been that way?

Do you know why he is wetting the bed? Some kids just do some kids have allergies and other sleep apnea. My dd does but she has a very tiny bladder and goes all day long to (no diabeties) she wear pull ups and has her crib sheet protector over her sheet. We also have chucks like they use in the hospital if that one is in the wash so we are not going thru sheets or being woken up at night to help change sheets (she is six and has issues doing this herself)
