Aibu to ask for your parenting advice?

[Axalotllittle]

I had the best advice today!!! I should lie down on the supermarket floor and copy the kicking and screaming. my child is 8 and has significant difficulties, he isn't a toddler

Please share your nuggets of parenting wisdom for me. I obviously need them 😁

A flippant and light hearted thread, possibly for those parents of SEN kids who have had ALL the useful advice.

"Just make her go to school" will be a familiar one for many of us I'm sure!

"If he's hungry he will eat it."
No he won't he has ASD and ARFID.

I have ARFID and now in my 40's. Wish I had a penny for everytime my mum was told that 😂. She was a nurse so dead worried about my poor nutrition but obviously ARFID wasn't a recognised thing in the 80's

Send her to summer camp, it'll do her good. Said about our 10 yr old daughter with extreme anxiety and fear of abandonment, by a family member that was a TA.

He's just doing it for attention, ignore him. self harm and discussion of suicide

An oldie but goodie. I hadn't thought of that. Stupid mum that I am

So many.

Telling me I should smack my child as she was having a meltdown.

Telling me that my dd who has seizures was just doing it for attention.

I very often get the "Oh it will be alright this time" if I get invited to do something and can't leave dd as if she can just switch off her seizures.

My delightful (nc) mother calling SS on me for faking autism in my dd because "we have none of that in our family" and she thought SS could remove dd and cure it I guess.

I had a dd who died some years ago, and my neighbour helpfully told me that if I bought X Y or Z forever living juice next time I get pregnant then my baby probably wouldn't die.

I don't speak to people anymore.

When they see the other children eating they'll want to be the same.

Nope

I am so sorry about your DD.

People can be utter twats

She didn't ask to come shopping.

Mid tantrum, but the reason we were shopping was because she needed new shoes!
