Melissa...please don’t take it personally. It’s just a gossip site, and a fun place to hang out. I suggested a title once and it got overlooked. I didn’t care...I just enjoy coming here every day and appreciate that I have the opportunity.
It should be more like this:
You don’t know my situation and if everyone had your attitude the world would be in chaos.
Do these people really think there’s going to be any of Abbie’s money left when her lazy parents are dead and gone? Because that’s what it is. It’s Abbie’s money, and they spend her money like crazy on silly items like a boat and a new kitchen they didn’t need. None of their purchases have done anything to actually help Abbie and better her life. Personally, I think all the money they make off exploiting her should go to an account for her for when she’s older and needs care that they won’t be able to provide because of age, death, etc.
Huh? Nobody said anything about perfect children. People just said that the world is not going to change to form a perfect mould around your daughter, autism or not. And that you can be expected to remove a loud kid from something like a restaurant, where people are trying to eat. Whether she is happy or sad or angry or whatever.
I’m also a nurse, which is why my viewpoint is more focus on adl’s instead of chores. Sure she can vacuum while being watched at 20 years old but she’s still using diapers and can’t dress herself? What is a bigger accomplishment and more meaningful? Can’t brush her hair but can put napkins on a table? Those napkins are soooooo important. Takes her shoes off in public? That should have been stopped as a young child. No one needs to eat with a barefoot kid next to you, or should have to walk around the grocery with her barefoot. She will sit down and touch her feet and then touch food. I remember a vlog she was sitting barefoot in a store. I don’t remember which vlog it was. They need to focus on dressing, toileting, hygiene and feeding herself before other less important things. They will be paying more at a care home when they realize she isn’t independent in her adl’s. Now I’m not saying she needs to be perfect at them. But at least needs to understand what to do. She has no clue what to do with a hair brush. She chews on a tooth brush, never seen or heard them say she can dress herself, and she shovels food so fast she’s going to aspirate one of these days
This whole part pissed me off and I legitimately can't tell if they're stupid, cruel, that desperate for content, or all of the above.
Just to let you’ll know, Sam never left for that long but when she “came back” her user id was locked out. I ended up having to fashion a new name for myself but never introduced myself back to the group but just picked up and commented where I could... I didn’t want to fool anyone but the tide has smoothed over and I didn’t want anything rehashed again...
Not as a caregiver, no. But as a therapist. It is part of my job (the other is research) to teach both parents and kids to handle situations like this.
I have to ask, why are you on a gossip page that points out flaws and short comings of parents who use their child as an excuse for their bad behavior? It comes across odd that you would want to participate with those you claim to raise perfect children. No one is saying that at all... what is being said is that in Abbies case her parents are failing her by putting her into situations that she does not respond well to. They are not consistent with her social education.
When they say Abigail Lorraine, it makes me want to punch someone.ALSO ... So cute..... High fives all the TIME... arghhhh
What is Summer's role .... pseudo daughter !.. PA !..... Care Giver !... Respite Worker !... GF in waiting for the Chunky Son !....
I think you have to be mindful of other people though, some have problems with noises, we all have to fit into society and we have to consider others as well as ourselves.As I said she’s only 3 but is very independent, she likes to do things herself and we will teach her the things she needs in her own time when she shows she’s ready. She’s just started feeding herself and can now go up and down stairs on her own. We let her start these things in her own time. As for right and wrong she knows the word no and when she shouldn’t be doing soemthing but right now she’s a typical toddler and doesn’t listenSo it’s something were working on.
I would 100% do this. We only eat out maybe once or twice a year and I live in Ireland so it’s never warm enough for outside seating. My daughters non verbal so I will never tell her off for any verbal noise as I want her to talk one day so I will not be telling her off for the verbal noises she does make when happy! I understand not everyone agrees with this but at the minute she’s only a toddler and most toddlers aren’t well behaved in restaurants anyway. We will explain to the people around us and they’re usually understanding if not I don’t care to be honest. If my daughter was making it clear she wanted to leave we would leave
I can only say one thing, at least he admits he gained weight UNLIKE his Mom who keeps saying she's losing!Well, without watching the vlog, I will say that his haircut looks nice. He looks more like Isaiah, and less like a softer, yet smaller version of Pig. As far has him blowing up like a balloon, hopefully he is able to institute some lifestyle changes that help him now and in the long run. His Hog Maass family has set him up for failure. He wouldn’t know a well balanced diet if it slapped him in the face.
ETA: So, I took the plunge..listening mostly to his vlog and Hello!! Guess who imitates a big, ol’ LISP guyth? That is right! Baby Boy Hogsaiah does..at around the 2 min mark.
Trigger Warning!You’re Welcome.
Me too. Its a poor example for her to set. I love her as a parent, but she should be advocating for safety, and her fellow medical professionals.
