When Kylee was a baby I NEVER let her stay with anyone until after she was over a YEAR old. I was struggling so bad with postpartum but also didn’t wanna be away from my baby, I was a new mom and was scared. Well with Xander I was better about letting people keep him for a night, I needed it. What this post is about is letting your autistic kid stay at others houses. Now Kylee only stays with family that are close, like my mom or my husbands mom.. but man the hate I’ve seen moms get for saying they let their autistic children stay with close FAMILY. I have my precious Kylee and my precious Xander, sometimes I need a break even if it’s just one gone for a night or 2. Well my husbands mom lives a couple hours away and asked to keep Kylee for a week... we said yes 😱 I know so bad of me. You know we’ve been up there with her before, Kylee loves it. She’s been there without us before and was fine. Obviously I’m gonna be upset and miss her..I’m a nervous wreck actually, but I don’t wanna keep his family from her. Xander will not be left out, he’ll be with my husbands grandma and my family for the week. I just feel like because we are “special needs” moms we aren’t suppose to ever be away from our kids, aren’t suppose to complain, aren’t suppose to ever want a break... I’m human not superwomen and for the moms who do it 24/7 without a break I truly look up to you, but don’t look down on me! #momlife #momlifephotos

THIS!!! I completely get it! I have a 7 yr old with autism and adhd, a 2 yr old and a 7 month old. I get SOOOO burnt out i feel like I’m literally running off of fumes! I don’t think people get how tiring mentally and physically taking care of an autistic child is. Let alone if you have more than one child. It’s always the ones that have no idea of the life we live that always want to judge. They wouldn’t last an hour in our shoes!!! You matter! Your peace of mind and your sanity matters! You deserve a break!!
I think the hate is more jealousy then anything. Seriously. As long as your little is being cared for and is happy it's none of anyone's business. You know your little ones better then anyone. And parents need time to reset and recharge. I'm 100% for parents doing whatever is needed to help them put their child first. Every child is different and needs different things. Raising a child with any special need means adapting to their needs (and often times that means letting others help for extended periods of time). I hate that parents are being made to feel guilty for doing what they have to in order for them to be the best parent they can be. Our job as parents is to put our kids first and if we are in over our heads, it our job to request and allow for help. I'm so happy and proud of you for doing what you need in order to be the best parent you can to your daughter. Her needs are unique to her and you are doing what's best for her. Keep up the good work. Let others help you and do whatever helps you recharge yourself.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
