Congratulations on baby #3. I’m happy for you.
When other people approve of someone’s decisions, it feels great but if they disapprove, it’s disappointing and I experienced that too. I would like to encourage you to just respect your in laws’ comments because we cannot control someone’s opinion. Maybe they are just concerned in how you will take care of 3 kids.
If you want, you may ask your husband to talk to his parents and tell exactly how you feel about their comments. You are in my prayers.

Hi, when my father was diagnosed with a terminal disease and was very ill, I have a friend who always visited us and she would spend the day with me. She would call me or text me every day. It’s helpful to have someone I know that cares for me.

I would like to encourage you to go to your sister, she needs you for emotional support and you can also help her around the house especially with the kids. Praying for your sister and her husband for comfort and peace as they go through this season of life. I’m so sorry.

Hi, if your son really loves to dance, let him do it. If it’s something you and your son truly want to experience and accomplish, disregard what everyone else thinks. If ballet is something that your son really wants, support him and let him pursue his dreams. Hope things will get better in your family and praying for you.

Hi, we as parents, we know that our kid’s friends have huge influence on them. Many teenagers now are comfortable using curse words. Our role is to watch their language and being their role models.
I always tell my son that cursing and foul language are not appropriate and he should not copy others, although sometimes I heard him say “what the heck”, then I would remind him again. I would like to encourage you to talk to your daughter and remind her too that those words are not pleasant to hear. Let your child know your concerns. Praying for you.

3 years olds don’t intentionally hurt someone feelings because they don’t yet fully understand their emotions or anyone else’s emotions.
When my son was at that age, and he did something that hurts his playmate, I talked to him calmly and let him know what he did was not OK because it hurts someone’s feelings. If he wouldn’t listen, I put him to time-out.
Praying for you and thank you for sharing.

Homework demands more discipline and we can help our kids to make it easier by creating a routine.
I have read an article about establishing homework routine and I want to share it with you. It says that it would help the child if the parent would schedule the homework for the same time each day without any electronics. It works with my son.
It is also important to give advance notice of homework time, according to research, kids with ADHD don’t easily shift from one activity to another especially from playing to homework. You have mentioned that you are a working mom, when you get home, you can review your child’s work to see if it’s complete. And it’s also Ok to give him rewards to motivate. I hope it helps. Praying for you and thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry that you are going through this. I also experience infertility treatments, it took us 2 years to get pregnant. I had countless Clomid, shots and surgery. I experienced the frustration every cycle, expecting positive result but always turned out negative. Every time there’s pregnancy announcements, it reminds of something that I don’t have. It was a roller coaster of emotions. During my pregnancy, I had spotting at 25 weeks and pre-term labor at 32 weeks. I had to stay in the hospital to monitor my baby’s heartbeat, I was scared and nervous, but God strengthened me as I go through the process. Now, my son is 16 years old.
I would like to encourage you not to lose hope. This article, http://bit.ly/2neGGPW, might help you in coping with infertility. God has beautiful plans for you, and He will give your heart’s desire to have that child in His perfect time. Praying for you for comfort as you go through this, and you will trust Him as He leads you. Thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry that you are going through this. I also experience the ups and downs of infertility treatments for 2 years. Thankfully my husband was there to support me. Not getting pregnant when you wanted too is hard but God strengthened me as I go through the process. During my pregnancy, I had spotting at 20 weeks and pre-term labor at 32 weeks, I had to stay in the hospital to monitor my baby’s heartbeat. Now my son is 16 years old.

This article, http://bit.ly/2kELqR9, talks about life after miscarriage, it might help you. I would like to encourage you to talk to your husband and tell how you feel. Though he may express his emotions differently, he has experienced the same tragic loss you have and is suffering from many of the same feelings. Praying for you that you will be comforted as you go through this. God will give your heart’s desire to have a child as you trust in Him. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, I would like to encourage you to talk to your daughter about this, if she is bothered about the incident, you might want to talk to the school, especially if this thing happen again.
My son is also minority in his school. He is the only Asian in his class. When he was in 2nd grade, he went home crying because someone bullied him at the cafeteria. It was heartbreaking to see him crying. I asked my son if he wanted me to talk to the principal and he said no, but I assured him, in case it happen again, I will go to school and talk to them. Thank God, it never happened again, and He strengthened my son to face his fears, he is now in sophomore and he is doing great.
Thank you for sharing, praying for your daughter's protection wherever she goes.

I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I also experienced 2 years of trying to get pregnant, countless Clomid, shots and 1 surgery. God strengthened me as I go through all the process of infertility, it’s not an easy experience because I have to deal with the pressure from family and friends and frustration every cycle, expecting I will conceive that child but always turned out negative. God gave me a child in his perfect time. Praying for you that you will have that child #2 and He will guide you in which path to choose as you trust Him.

I’m sorry that you are feeling depressed about turning 40. Depression happens when you believe that there is no hope in reaching your goal. I would like to encourage you that you can still have beautiful career at the age of 40 and meet new friends. There are many popular people that became successful after they turned 40. Never stop trying. There is always hope and nothing is impossible if you don’t give up no matter what happens. Praying for a beautiful future ahead of you. Thank you for sharing.

When my son was a toddler, he loves to play musical instruments like drums, keyboard and guitar. When he was in elementary, we bought him keyboard and guitar. I enrolled him for piano lesson, he used to play at home. He played his guitar only for few times. Even though he know how to play piano, he told me that he wanted to study drum lessons. So he quit playing piano because he wanted drums. Now, my son is really good in drumming. He is in the marching band at school and joins band competition at our church and they are always qualified for National competition. He is now also learning piano at school. I would like to encourage you to just let your daughter play whatever instrument she wants, if she wanted violin then let her do it, then later on she might want to go back playing piano. It worked for my son, it might worked for your daughter too.

Praying for you that you will be guided as you choose the right path for your daughter. Thank you for sharing.

Coping with infertility is difficult. I experience that before I got pregnant with my son, I had infertility treatments for 2 years. Every cycle I was expecting that baby would be conceived and it made me sad when it turn out to be negative. I have only one child and also in my 40s and going to menopause.

Praying for you that you will experience God’s love and comfort as you go through this. He knows everything you are going through and understands how you exactly feel. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, we never experienced switching school. My son in in sophomore and he is in the same school since kindergarten. He already has many friends and we like the teaching style.
If you think switching school will be better for your DD, then that would be ok. All high schools are different and she has to get ready for her new environment. I hope things will be alright with your DD. Thank you for sharing.
