I wonder if I have a phobia or stress trigger related to children. I seem to have way, way more trouble dealing with children ages 3-14 than most anybody I've observed.

[Yoink]

Same.


My Sad: it is Hot Dog Tuesday and I wanted to express my excitement, but I discovered my thread for such things is dead.
I guess I can put it in the Food Thread or something instead.. . 



Edit: I can never quite decide which I hate more, my life or my self.

Quick, eat fuckloads of hot foods with capsaicin/peppers in it. Nothing will clear your sinuses faster.

The doctor tells me I'm anemic and have signs of inflammation in my intestines. Still nobody will give me alone time.

It is half-past five in the morning. Thursday morning - and come to think of it I have things to do this afternoon.
But anyway! I didn't even have nearly enough fun last night to warrant being up so early. It was alright, but... I don't know. I saw a band I like, I ate a delicious pie with chips, I talked to a few people, I drank a couple of beers and a couple of whiskies (I'd meant to just spend money on the meal and have maybe two drinks at most) but I just struggled to muster up any real enthusiasm for any of it.

I shoulda just left in time to catch a train home (in the end I walked).

Note to self: agreeing to pay pool with strangers is often a bad idea.

Anyway, I'm falling asleep now. I'll probably scrub this post later because I don't Rubik it's making any sense

Dropped my little guy off at daycare for the first time today, and he lasted 2-3 hours before we had to go get him. Had trouble adjusting. We will do better next time!

[martinuzz]

Find another daycare center. If the staff there can't even bear to help a child get used to a whole new situation for just 2-3 hours, they shouldn't be qualified to work with children.

I would like to point this out- There are quite a lot of cases of parents/caretakers who kill a developmentally challenged child (all the ones I've heard of had autism in particular) and get a much lower sentence than if they killed a normal one (also, I had some thing I wanted to say, and went digging through Dunamisdeos' page to confirm if the child had mental disabilities, found out the answer, but while looking forgot the point I wanted to make and instead decided to point out that other fact

[Dunamisdeos]

Nah, no mental disabilities, just some developmental problems.

And we knew there would be certain difficulties. He has trouble chewing certain foods, had never napped on a cot, etc. A lot of children have issues the first time, everything will be fine

Sometimes I forget the two terms are actually different,

It's very a complex thing! He was born quite early, so it's entirely possible he's just behind for that reason. He's actually quite far ahead in other areas. I used to teach children with autism so I'm frankly prepared to do whatever it takes once I know what that thing is. We have an OT ready to evaluate what steps we need to take.

Everything will be fine in time

I want to get into collecting Star Wars figures. But I'm out of room for knick knacks. And money for knick knacks, for that matter.

I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to keep the extra hands that came with my Revenge of the Sith figures. And maybe not chip the paint off all the lightsabers.

Work has made me exhausted today. This job does not permit slowing down at all. It is also 4 am about.

[Yoink]

My brother all but came out as a Yes-voter.

Help us non-Australians out?
