[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - to all of you crapping on people who are admitting regrets, I bet you never had to make a safety plan for the family and for any other siblings to ensure no physical injuries when the SN child of your house becomes violent. Probably not, right?  Then you have no idea what my life is like. [/quote]

I'm so sorry, PP. I have a SN kid, and it's very, very difficult. But I don't regret having my child. That was a risk I took when having a child. I knew there was a chance my child would have problems, and I'd have to deal with them. It's very, very tough. Get as much help as you can with your child, and change his or her diet!! Diet was the #1 thing that helped my child with behavior issues. Food allergies made my kid sick and cranky, so my kid would act out. Took allergic foods out of the kid's diet, and the bad behavior stopped, mostly. Kid was much more cheerful and manageable. Good luck to you, PP! [/quote]

I am so sorry for the pp who needs a safety plan. We are getting there but not yet so I don’t know. I hope things get better

To the immediate pp, please stop. While I do not know what the other pps life is like, I do know how al sorts of people offer advice. Do you really think I haven’t heard it?  My child is severely underweight due to a family condition and foods cannot be cut out.  He has been allergy tested.  There is anyways almost no evidence of any real diet behavior connections in any studies. It may have worked for you but the other pp is in a difficult place. Please realize there is a place for empathy and acceptance. You suggestions just make others feel like perhaps if they were a better parent their child would be better. It isn’t generally true, at least not from a parent line this on DCUM so clearly in a bad place. A lot of just out of our control. [/quote]

+1000 I wish it was as simple as a diet change. [/quote]

Same here. My child wouldn’t eat solid food until age three. I consulted professionals until it was resolved. In the meantime I got the same unsolicited advice over and over. The words “snack tray” made me want to kill people. Like, “Gee, it never occurred to me to offer my kid a mother-f*cking snack tray. Piss off!”

So glad we are way past that now.

I saw some dolt SN mom offer a link to the “Welcome To Holland” poem to Richard Engel on Twitter. I cannot believe there is any SN mom out there who doesn’t know Richard Engel, world famous journalist, has already seen that frickin’ poem. I’ve was forwarded it over and over myself. [/quote]
