Reply to LPT: If you have young children you should teach them your phone number as early as 4 years old. However long it takes- using picture cards or any other learning tricks, you should make them memorize it. That way if they ever get lost etc., they can ask a store employee to call you. by v-shizzle
Teach it to the tune of jingle bells. Much easier to remember.

When I was little our address was 314. My dad requested our phone number, it was ###-3140.

Wear a mask. I do when allergens are high and it helps with that too!

Most times your public landfill has mulch piles you can just pick up as much as you want

We used chip drop too... Our pile was heavily infested with termites.
We'll be paying for treated mulch in the future.

As a former foster child. Some of yall should really listen to this advice because I was better off in a group home instead of with some of these fosters. Some of yall shouldn't have children neither.
Respite care is another thing aswell btw or volunteer at a grouphome

I guess what I mean to ask is this: Are these resources available to everyone? If not who are they available to? I know we have to advocate for our kids because if we don't now body else will

Reach out to you and your child's team - record everything, and push for what you and your child need for success. Unfortunately we often have to be our own advocates, but sometimes being a little pushy is the best way to get these kiddos some help

Thanks for the additional info. I checked out their website for my area and it doesn’t look like something I can commit to at the moment. It requires at least a one year commitment, and I work full time and am also going back to school in the fall. I’ll look into it again once I have more time to give. I’m interested in fostering in the future and this would be a great way for me to help out while learning about the process.

What helped me was starting some stuff with friends, dating some women and focusing on myself. Getting back in shape, working out. Even work helped a lot. Its okay to suffer and feel down, but only for some time. Don't get dragged down into some permanent depressive mood. Focus on living and enjoying life for yourself. Try to be happy and do things that make you happy. Its been 8 thrown away years back then for me. Dunno if this counts as long term for you, but for me it does. Now I am married and have two healthy and beautiful children and all I can say is that it was somehow meant to come this way. These 8 years and the end of this era belong to the path that lead me to where I am and although it was hard, its okay now. You deserve to be happy again and you will be happy again. Don't make your wellbeing dependent on a partnership you just lost. Just do stuff with your friends and find new friends along the way. Hope this makes sense

My 5yo learnt my phone number by hearing me repeat it endlessly to real estate agents when we were house-hunting. In the end he was the one reciting it to the agents!
