    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    Absolutely Miffy Bunny. lol about Hellllarria - How nice to have 6 nannies! It's nice to hear from you that things get easier, especially after what you expressed about your son. I can imagine acceptance and reframing is a huge part of all of it. I was saying a little prayer last night before...

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for understanding! they are indeed crazy people! My husband and I sometimes watch our 2.5 year old and just laugh and say, "he is just a teeny tiny little person trying to figure it out." He is just raw emotion. He wants what he wants! I am amazed you home school all of them! Wow! It's...

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    I relate to the relentless winter weather and just being cooped up at home with everyone. Getting that break is tremendously helpful! What a wonderful shift in daily life. I used to teach middle school, and it is indeed very difficult at times, even more so if it is your own child and you don't...

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

My favorite thing in life is to be alone with a book. Having a small child is the opposite of that lol. Would love...

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    Absolutely. We are already in the process of getting him in "pre pre-school" and just letting him watch TV if he refuses to nap, because the alternative is going insane lol. And there is some more support coming down the road. The logistics of help are so important. But what really gets to me is...

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    Andy thank you! This all rings so true and is so so helpful. The big roadblock for me is definitely this inner critic that is so freaking relentless and tying me up in knots, literally! Just leave me alone and let me feel this! I am obviously not going to hurt my child. But god do I need the...

    parents of little ones?!?!??!!!!!!!!

    I just need to vent that motherhood is absolutely wretched at times. I have a 2.5 year old madman living with me, and my pain and symptoms can be so stubborn and relentless. I have to remember to think psychological. And what my psyche is saying is that parenthood often sucks! What makes it...

    My dad has TMS

    Just wanted to share something that I find so interesting, albeit tragic, in terms of the TMS world (and also my family.) My dad has been having severe back pain off and on for the past couple years. He has already had two surgeries and is scheduled for a third and keeps going to the hospital...
