You can also tell your DH that some women just sit on their arses eating bon bons and watching soap operas. Would he rather you stay in the house and be a couch potato? You are out working, and I have been doing my own construction on stuff too, it isn't for wussies. If he can see you are setting a good example of gumption and hard work for your kids, then he is blind.
My kids are always making up Yo Momma jokes. I wish I could remember a few of the good ones. They floor me sometimes. I wish I could share a few, I am sure it would make you chuckle. My son who had 'all the speech problems' is so smart and such a deep thinker, and he is absolutely hilarious! The other day they were talking (in 7th grade now) about a book or something called "Impregnable". He is telling me about it and says, "You know, instead of a woman who can't have kids being called barren, they should call it "impregnable". Now, that is one smart thought for a previously speech impaired kid, don't you think? Sometimes too, the kids who aren't talking are the ones who are watching and listening and becoming little geniuses. Tell old DH that one.
I grew up in a family of negative nay-sayers, and I moved away when I was 21. You know, I like my family much better from 1000 miles away.
It was late, I forgot that one last night, perchie. Yes, they labeled him as retarded when he started kindergarten. My son is also dyslexic. He has conquered the reading part, but he has a tough time with Math, especially algebra this year. But he is definitely very smart in a way that you don't see with kids his age, and he has always been that way.
There was a time when I was thankful no one could understand my son... I took him out to breakfast while my oldest was in kindergarten one morning. This old man walked by us on his way to the restroom and stopped to say hello. He was also very large in the belly. My son asks, "Why are you so fat?" Of course, the man had no clue what he was saying. I was still mortified. He just laughed and patted my son on the head and went on his way. I was thanking the stars that he had not a very well developed speaking ability that day! Out of the mouths of babes, right? yeah, come embarrassment and humiliation!
I do think my little one is absorbing a lot, just matter of time I guess. But what puzzles me is that, the words he use to say, he won't say them anymore. He started talking when he was 6 months old (mommy, dad and such) then he stopped. He use to call me by my first name Arzu, then it became AU and now he just calls me U
. I started talking to him more and asking him things and becoming more interactive with him.
Your son is one smart boy
My parents moved more then 5000 miles away but when they come and visit every 6 months, they stay lot longer then I would like them too
. At night I'll be dropping her off at my brothers from there she'll be going to my sisters house in PA. I won't see her for 3 weeks
.
My husband panics a lot. It comes to a point where it gets unbareable ! I tell him, if he thinks he can do better then me, then by all means come and take care of your kids and I'll work !
I just wants me to sit home and be a pretty housewife and cook and bake and be the best parent there is. I do cook, clean, do landscaping, taking care of the animals, instead of hiring someone I pull my own garden weeds out, taking care of the kids, their karate and such. I did 70 ft stone walkway (pavement) last spring. I try to do all of it myself so he won't have to spend extra money and I enjoy doing it. But he won't let me enjoy. Whenever I do something other then cooking and with kids, he thinks I'm neglecting the children. I told him, I was like this when you got married with me so either learn to deal with it or hit the highway cause this mama won't change !!! He's loving and caring and he's the best person for me BUT, I only wish he understood me more. I like to create things and have projects to work on rather then sitting home and doing nothing !
My husband made an appointment for me this morning to give some blood for physical check-up. I'm still very exhausted from yesterday, and it's pretty cold today. I dressed up in my working clothes and will be off to home depot in awhile and start working. I feel very weak today. Drawing blood left me weaker. I'll eat few crackers and get moving.
Thank you guys for your support, I really appriciate it. Where else can you find people who goes thru similiar experience then here ? You guys rock

LOL
. Don't you just love it ?
I got my little Einstein right here with me, just waiting for his own time to come. As a mother, I'm not worried. The people that do the evaluation asked him where his nose and mouth were and he replied in a correct way but he didn't answer her when she asked him where's your head. She turned to me and said, he doesn't know ? Well maybe he doesn't want to answer, I replied. Should a kid who just turned 3 must know all his body parts ? My older son walked late (19 months) but he was talking 2 languages but age 1 and very clearly. This little one didn't crowl, he just walked at age 16 months old.
My son too! He scooted on his belly for months, his shirts were all stained terribly from it. He didn't walk until 16-months too and barely ever crawled. Now he climbs trees and does all sorts of goofy stuff. He is 12 1/2 and just ran his first track meet (he is my little Forrest Gump), and he ran the mile in 6:05. How awesome is that?! He has the total package because he is cute to boot. Now, if I could just get him to get a haircut and quit dressing like he should be hanging out at a skateboard park.
Did she ask him if he knew where his pee pee was too? He probably wouldn't have answered that either. Maybe he looked at you because he thought, "Is this lady stupid? She doesn't know where my head is? Geez."

That is pretty awesome, you must be so proud. I don't understand why they have to analyze every little thing so carefully. She made a list of what he eats, and finalized it by sayin "he limits his food" or " is that ALL he eats ? " I'm like I can't tell you from the top of my head but for now that's all. Geezzzzz. But this lady was nice, I had worse people come to my house and judge the living lights out of us. I never accepted them back into our house again. (The early intervantion program)
Some how you manage to make me laugh
I thank you so much for that. I needed a good laugh
