Well, I had the opportunity to walk in the St. Patrick's Day parade with our kids ministry group, but chose to spend the time listening to our choir, band, and orchestra compete.

Parenting is so much harder than teaching. Your children are comfortable with you on an emotional level and therefore act out and test boundaries more. My husband is a parole office and he always says it's easier to handle the hard core felons that his own kids - lol.

It is absolutely exhausting!!! I have one age 12 ADHD with hypersensitivity, another age 6 ADHD with demand avoidance or extreme oppositional defiance. Then my twins, who are 2 and non verbal. Someone is screaming or crying at all times!

It's a respect thing, I think. I know my kids don't listen to me but when I talk to their teachers they always have nice things to say. I think they're more afraid of getting trouble in school than at home? Maybe it's a groupthink situation?

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Has anyone else talked to a doctor about stress while trying to conceive? I’ve been having a really hard time wanting a baby for the way my husband and I have been arguing or talking to each other. I think we should go to counseling. I know I love him and I know he loves me- there’s just so much animosity so much anxiety around discussions. Do you think our anxiety or tension is because we have not been able to conceive?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
