Ended up quitting because he was too frustrated. I told him it was okay to walk away if it was too much, the important thing was he tried, and he can come back when he's calmer. So much growth from this little man.

I heard him say to himself aloud, "No, don't rage quit. That's what losers do." And he kept going. He told himself that he was smart and it's okay that he didn't get it right the first time, and I'm so incredibly proud of him for persisting. He still struggled and tried a time or two more but 🧵

My AuDHD kid is such a perfectionist and being a teice exceptional child means that for many years, things just came easily to him. Now that school is getting harder, he has been struggling with not getting things as easily as they used to. But yesterday he was having a hard time on a video game, 🧵

Be careful, Colorado friends! I just got this scam text looking like an official text from the DMV! Do not click the link!!

Just a sweet doggo for the afternoon feels.

Further erosion of the separation of church and state and clear bias for one religion. This email went out to VA employees.

Consent! Teach them that they have a right to defend themselves against anyone touching them without permission! Teach them that they MUST ask permission to touch someone else's person!

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Mama Bear seethed. He said he would handle it, again. He wasn't privy to it happening this weekend. I'm still angry that this continues to be a thing. She needs to ask him permission to touch him in any way and, in fact, I prefer she not be around him going forward.

Parents! Teach your kids about🧵

...again. I comforted my Bear, made sure he knew he was heard and asked if he wanted me to talk about it with the adults again and he did. His dad was a grown up about it as I told him this was more than enough and this child, who is nearly 18 needs to keep her hands off my kid. He agreed as this 🧵

Furthermore, hearing him describe the same behavior by the people he should be able to trust enrages me more. I've spoken out against this multiple times and used the kindest voice I can with his dad (with whom I have a wonderful co-parenting relationship and who agrees). But last night I heard it 🧵

I get it, he's laughing so it seems like he's having fun or doesn't mean it. He has to get angry or escape for it to stop. This is not bodily autonomy and family members used to do this to me as well when I was little. I hated it and would become enraged when they didn't stop. I feel his aggravation

And in fact, he's told me multiple times over the years that she tickles him without consent and then he gets made and tries to get away or push her away because she doesn't take him seriously when he tells her to stop, and ultimately he ends up running into something trying to get away. 🧵

Her kids are significantly older than him. Her youngest is 17. I've often listened as my son describes interactions with this child in particular and he doesn't hate her, but definitely has had a rocky relationship. I've often felt that she treats him as if he's "just" a little kid so has no say 🧵

My kiddo is 9 years old. His dad and I split when he was almost 2 and his dad has been with his current girlfriend for most of that time. I believe they had been friends for a long time before that even. So she and her kids grew up knowing my Bear... 🧵

Got to take the Bear to see the Minecraft Movie today. So much fun and such a handsome movie date I got to have.

Building community is something that fills my soul. Bear is becoming good friends with another boy from school hool who we discovered lives 2 blocks away on our street. I'm only just getting to know his mom but she bought me a chicken to take care of me today because I'm sick. My heart is full.

I generally dislike small talk, but we all do it habitually, and it usually just gets shrugged off. But lately, it feels even more cringe when someone asks what's new or how I am, and I smile and say, "Everything's good!" Or, "Nothing exciting or new!" The inner voice is screaming otherwise.

Look s like even those required to defend the law cower and kiss the king.
We are NOT ok.

What a different world we could have.

My socks is all wrong and I'm wearing shoes that are difficult to get on. This sock situation is a delicate balance for people with sensory issues... too tight and you're screwed, too loose, same.
I'm 44 yrs old and I can barely keep it together. Trying to keep that perspective for my 9 yr old.

'Ferris Bueller' Clip Explaining Tariff Disaster In 1930 Goes Viral Amid Trump's Tariff War Anyone? Anyone?

Anyone? Bueller?

She doesn't make it easy to work but she is super cute!

The only sounds in my house right now are snoring dogs... this feels different.

Regardless, on my way home I couldn't stop picturing the giant cross and giggling because they have no clue that what they're doing is participating in a magik ritual. If they realized, would they still be so eager to burn the witches?

We see a teacher moments after, who i think must be a coach for some sort of sports ball... he has a giant ash cross on his forehead. I'm not sure if my kid ran off to class because he's just becoming more independent or if he was embarrassed that he questioned a teacher's beliefs. 🧵

I was raised Baptist but did my best to explain from the brain washing I'd received my whole childhood except stating "Christians believe..."

Then as we walked up to the school had just finished telling him about the ashy cross on foreheads. The whole time he said "that doesn't make sense".
