Hi! Sort of busy weekend here. Yesterday was my SIL’s bridal shower. It ended up being really nice and she got drunk and had a great time. I think we are just going to sweep all our issues under the rug. She has bigger issues to worry about (family drama) that is much worse. Today, B had a friend birthday party. It was really cute but he wa super shy. I could tell he wanted to go and play with all the kids but he was hesistant. He did a lot of observing and watching but mainly stayed by my side. He and I had some good one on one time though. I was very much this child growing up. Once I found a consistent group of friends everything became a bit easier. Honestly, consistency in general always made my life easier. It’s not that I didn’t want to be social, I just didn’t want to mess up.

For some reason that I can’t explain H goes and buys me a pound of shrimp every time I’m sick. Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So...anyone have a good shrimp recipe? I’ll take anything. Normally I just dunk them in cocktail sauce, but there’s no way that’s happening right now. We used to do shrimp in zoodles with pesto. Really good but we were always hungry a couple hours later lol. Zoodles are always amazing...until an hour goes by! I hate that.

Today was one of those days where M was at an 11 all day and my patience had a threshold for maybe a 2. I really hate days like this.
Is this normal for most of you? Please tell me that I’m not the only one who is just over it by lunch time and then feels like an asshole 23 seconds after they fall asleep.

I see it with him in his speech progress as well and his therapist has noted it also. When I explained to my parents how B was at the birthday party, they both responded with “I once knew a little girl the exact same way”. So I guess it’s hereditary. Sorry kid!

waitwhat hangry I too was a painfully shy kid, I would hide in a toy chest in my closet when company was over. And when it came to friends, I had two and they were the only ones I could/would socialize with. Our school specifically put the three of us in class in Pre-k and K and 1st. But they purposely separated us in Grade 2 and the only way I survived was by being the teachers pet, she was like my second mom. That said, I always have and still do better in small groups. That said, it’s still hard to this day and the reason I don’t have a lot of friends, but I’m ok with it. The thing that helped me the most was having one person to hang by my side, if not my mom. If/when possible, you can try to get their early before others get there (or even before the event occurs), let them gain a comfort with the new place and if possible, greet and hang out with one or two kids at a time first. Also, maybe let the other mom(s) know that your child is working on social anxiety and I bet the other mom would be good about also encouraging inclusion. Just a couple thoughts, I know it’s not always possible. And I think Hangry had such a good point, remind them that it’s common to feel nervous and that you’re nervous to but you’re gonna try to go talk to someone.

Tried to go to the store real quick and DS1 was fine then suddenly for no apparent reason was not fine. He started crying and then knocking things off shelves on purpose. When I told him to pick the stuff up he let out the loudest bloody murder scream I have ever heard. It was beyond embarrassing. I still have no idea what set him off.
