Critterfixer Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I am so tired. Cut five hundred words. Probably added that much in information, and still cut. This amazing feat of adding words without adding words is a doggone magic trick I have to keep pulling like a rabbit out of a very battered old hat.

Critterfixer Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 My baked potato recipe is to throw the potatoes naked in the oven and bake them until they are done. Then I poke them with a fork in two directions (like a cross) and pop them open by pressing on either end with my tongs. Most of the time they don't explode the wrong way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Another Lynn said: Anyone have recommendations for dealing with a child (ahem, actually a teen) who struggles with wearing retainer consistently. Also struggles with honesty and integrity with this issue. I really don't want to turn it into a trust issue. But do I really need to watch a teenager brush teeth and put a retainer in every night? (Ironically, I have another teen who continues wearing retainers 24/7 because it feels better with them in. ? Go figure!) Wait, was I supposed to say "Asking for a friend?" Not yet but I hope to be there with you in a few months. Side question: Does anyone have a teen who struggles with wearing rubber bands? I think this kid will never, ever, ever get out of braces because of this. It doesn't bode well for future retainer compliance. I think our orthodontist offers some kind of permanent or semi-permanent retainer to increase compliance. We didn't pay for that up front but I should probably add it on if the braces ever come off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't pay for that up front but I should probably add it on if the braces ever come off. I feel your pain. Semi-perm retainer sounds like a fantastic idea. The one I have in braces now does pretty well with rubber bands, but I remember the orthodontist said after he had rubber bands for awhile they would add an appliance that stays in that serves the same purpose as the rubber bands. I forget what it's called, but if your teen still has a substantial overbite maybe it's worth asking. If the rubberbands are not for overbite, it might not be helpful. #notanorthodontist #don'tplayoneonTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama25angels Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Paige and Another Lynn, I had to remind, remind, remind and threaten to get them to wear their bands, they willing wear the retainers because they're afraid of their theeth moving and having to have braces again. The one that didn't comply had to pay me back for his braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egao_gakari Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 sadpo/ Good morning all. Haven't ketchupped. It's been a rough few days. DH's depression is worse than it's been in months. Can't get therapist's office to pick up the phone. I am now seriously contemplating putting the kids back in PS for this year... we simply don't have any money to purchase needed supplies, and any money talk at all just crushes DH into the dirt. On his way out the door this morning he said, "It's so hard to wake up every day knowing that nothing I do will make any difference." I said, "If you didn't do what you're doing, we'd be on the street. Seems like a difference to me." He said, "If kind people weren't helping us out, we'd be on the street right now anyway." It's so hard for me to combat those thoughts in him, so hard to watch him walk around, shoulders slumped, looking totally defeated by life. So hard to see him come home from work like he did yesterday, straight into the bedroom so the kids wouldn't see him cry, and stay down there all evening because being around people makes him feel worse. I think the kids are in a good place emotionally right now where I could put them back in PS for a year and it wouldn't destroy them. The fact is, my earning potential is greater than DH's from an hourly-wage perspective, although I'm not sure how many more students I'd be able to get. I just want him not to feel so completely alone and overburdened. I want to help us dig out of this hole we've wound up in after 2 years with him unable to work. It's something I've been mulling over privately for a few weeks, but this morning I prayed about it and then sent DH a text to open it up as a discussion. I think at the very least we need to talk about it. /sadpo 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
