Symora Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 It's your thread SweetMom, you can do whatever you like Mom stuff, I can relate. My kids are grown up, I don't have to do the potty thing anymore, but there are other types of things that still make it Mom stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindamomof7 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hi sweetmom glad you slept. That is the first step in being able to deal with things...I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. What do you mean about "brushing" your son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmom2 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 At the back its a white sponge and the front white brush thingies. I have to brush him 10 times on each arm and leg and back. Then compress all his joints incl his neck. The occ. Ther. Says its to promote communication through his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindamomof7 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thats what I thought. They/we used to do that with my son when he was younger. My son also had to wear a weighted vest during school to help keep him calm through the compression the vest gave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetmom2 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 This morning i have feelings of loneliness, boredom. I have a family. I want to visit today. The inlaws are working and mine are out of town. I cant go visit ppl cuz ev1 is sick. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmom2 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 We went to a small city to c the doc. Then things got hectic when we went to the shops.on the way back on a very buzy road my daughter started to scream for 20min until she fell asleep. Ev1 snapped! My husb lost his temper while on the road! He apologised at home. I dont want to go to that place again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmom2 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I suppose you guys think im boring and irritating. Its ok. I am not at all like this with other ppl. Only perhaps with my husb. If i talk to other ppl i dnt open up and tell them about my thoughts. Guess its for the best hey. I also dnt like this side of me. Its pathetic. My mom always talks about her school and my kids. Shes not a good listener at all. Not even wants me to discipline my kids. Family gatherings is always stressful because of her overreactions. My m.i.l always comments on my child not listening to me. She even blames me if they get sick. My thoughts are my own. And that is for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symora Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I also was rather guarded with my parents when my kids were young. They of course had been better parents... But now I'm at an age where I look at how younger people raise their kids and I'm like that too :eek: I think it's because we have been through it and with time we figured some things out because we have seen the long term consequences :-) .... Live and learn. I'm sure you are great mom, as your name suggests, but sometimes grandma's like to think they are the best Moms of all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmom2 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I suppose trusting me to look after their grandchildren can be very stressful. They are both great moms but in diff ways. My mom shows more helping hand and his mom is more advising. Bt i dnt like it when they want to dominate me, the advice is good bt nt the forcive, anger way. I c them alot even if i dnt want to go to them my mom pops in 3 times a week and his mom wants us to go there weekly. My mom hates punishment and his mom expects him mannered and not jumping on furniture, sitting still at the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symora Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 You and your kids are probably the biggest joy of their lives, it's so important to them that they need to see you and the kids regularly. I find that as I am getting older I'm starting to get what my grandma used to say, that as you get older you need your family closer. It's because life often becomes calmer, quieter, people in your life fade away some and you're family becomes the core of your life. It's where you get the lovin We all have our ideosynchracies, but we can count on each other and that's important, perhaps critical as we get older.... I accompanied my grandmother as she aged and family was indeed critical... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symora Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hope I did'nt offer you Sweetmom ... I lost my grandma a year ago today, perhaps I was a little slanted towards what the elderly need... I sure do miss her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmom2 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 My sympathies. Both my grandma's are still alive though both my grandads passed over while i was still young. Remember her memories will always be with you, i dnt think how she looked like, bt stuff you did together and how she was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetmom2 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Its ok my husb and i had a huge fight. Our fault. We sorted it out and then we had a braai.will visit the inlaws later. And you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symora Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I almost wish I had a fight with my spouse... But no more spouse, so the house is pretty lonely... I don't have much planned for today. It's going to be a very busy week and next weekend is the big reopening of the national museum where I work and I'll be working all of that. So I figured I would read and perhaps do a little gardening today....rest, take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
