This exact scenario is why my Son-in-law is 100% estranged from his parents for the last three years. They were not invited to the wedding and they have never met their almost two year old grandson and won't be meeting the new baby that will be born in May. We also ran in the same circles and it has been awkward for the last three years.

My daughter showed signs of OCD staring at about 7 but wasnt diagnosed until she was 19. Her OCD also manifested as food issues and also slid into eating disorder with four relapses before she was diagnosed with OCD. She was on meds and began intensive ERP at the same time. Seven years later she is off all meds, is happily married with a one year old child and has firm control of her OCD. It takes daily practice to keep that control. We were just discussing that she still has intrusive thoughts everyday and that she has learned to acknowledge those thoughts and let them slide by or just sit with the discomfort that they cause until they pass. attending the national OCD conference was life changing for both her and us as her parents and caregivers

Calendly we use it for parent teacher conferences and appointments with trachers/admins

I would absolutely go and and absolutely take a gift. My husband is retired military. When our first and second child were born we were living far from family and just arrived at a new base so we really didn't have any friends and I never got a baby shower. In my mind a baby shower isn't so much about getting everything you need as about celebrating new life with a family. Fortunately for me, when my third child was born, we had been in our community for a while and had friends and they hosted a lovely baby shower for me and it was so welcome and appreciated. Not because of gifts but because in a world that asks mother of three if they know what birth contral is, it was great to finally feel that other people were happy for us.

I took a few years off heirloom sewing/smocking and made some hand embroidered quilts. But I have a 8 month old grandson and I am back to seeing for him. My sewing instagram sew_long_for_now

At my oldest daughter’s homeschool co-op graduation I said in my speech that if anyone ever deserved an honors designation on their high school diploma it was the first born of a type A mother. 6 years later I said that my son deserved it because in his high school career I “fixed” all the “mistakes” that I made with the first two. today, all three are happily functioning self supporting adults with a good relationship with me and a desire to homeschool their own offspring

The Mrs. Pollifax adventures

My mom was one of five and she is the only one that had kids. My dad was an only child. I have no first cousins and due to my dad'd military career I do not know my second cousins at all. Four of my five siblings had children (I had 3, one sister had 4 and the other 2 had 2 each) and now my first grandson is three months old and my other two children would like to get married and have children so our family is growing. we are up to 25 for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

It worked for me for about two hours at a stretch. I had poison ivy from hip to ankle all the way around both legs and from wrist to shoulder all the way around both arms. (We lost fourteen trees in our back yard during a hurricane. We cut them all into logs to drag out to the front for pickup. My husband conceived of the idea of clearing the mud off them with a power washer. The sprayback that I spent the day washed in contained poison ivy oils)

from health central.com This was very successful for me when I had poison ivy. A hot bath or shower often produces relief in that heat releases histamine, the substance in the skin that causes intense itching. Therefore, a hot shower will cause intense itching as the histamine is being released. The heat should be gradually increased to the maximum tolerable and continued until the itching subsides. This process will deplete the cells of histamine, and the patient will obtain up to 8 hours of relief from itching.

My oldest (27) would dearly love to marry and have children and homeschool. She has not found the right husband yet. She may adopt or foster if the man doesn't appear. My middle (24) got married in June and cried last week because she isn't yet pregnant. Her husband comes from a family of 10 children. They plan on 5-7. They plan to homeschool My youngest (boy) (21) wants children and would be glad to be a SAHD and homeschool. He is planning on children but is not currently in a realationship

Does anyone have experience with the Freestyle Libre? My husband has been using this continuous blood glucose monitor for the past few months. Right now we have had about 50% not work right. One wouldn't boot up at all, one was reading way too low and when we pulled it off the "needle" was bent. He just put a new one on this morning and it has been reading way too high so he just pulled it off, the "needle" was fine. The company has been good about replacing them free of charge but it just seems wrong that so many have been bad. Anyone else have the same experience?
