Stacey let's him help and get on with stuff tho, painting the shed, rolling logs, she only ever steps in to hive him a hand when he struggles. That must be part of the reason he is so far ahead of Ronnie. He has been allowed to try, to struggle to work things out for himself. Look at that baking, when mine were two they were cracking their own eggs, (I fished the shell out when they finished but they got better with practice) tipped in all the ingredients themselves and mixed it all themselves. She just will not let him do anything without her disgusting hands grabbing away and taking over. He will never learn if he is never allowed to try. All she's saying to him is Ron you're no good and what a dreadful message that is to one so small. How does he develop self esteem, confidence and pride in his achievements if he is never allowed to try. Yes he will make a mess, that's what kids do, but it's also how they learn.Agree it looks great and I bet it’ll look fantastic when it’s finished. Grinch will soon be over for a photo opportunity.
I know we should t compare children but the difference between Rex and Ron is unbelievable….
Well it’s been a shit afternoon here.
Let me tell you Soph, you think Ron is hard work now, just wait until you have a teenager in your house. Fuck me. Mine has cost me £100 emergency locksmith this afternoon after he left the key inside the door and forgot, until he’d shut the door - when he was outside the house. No way to get in as key was in the lock inside so my key of course wouldn’t work.
But do you know what? Not once have I made him feel stupid or even been angry at him. Not even about the cost, which I really really could not afford. I didn’t let him see me cry when I felt so overwhelmed that I couldn’t take any more.
Because he’s a teenager, and the world is hard right now, and he made a mistake.
What if Ronnie did that? I dread to think.
I’ve caught up on 6 pages now, sitting in the dark as littlest is asleep and I haven’t got the energy to move from by his bed

Cakes…. Wtf. Did anyone notice they were Sainsburys marshmallows! Wonder why not Teschoooo?
That fucking tree. I have no words. She’s so self-absorbed. I think she can’t stoop any lower and then she goes and does it again.
@horseybox1982 so good to ‘see’ you, I really hope things are okay
@xcupcakex what a worry about the insurancewho are you with? If same insurer there’s shouldn’t be a problem. If different insurer, if it’s not actually a known / diagnosed pre-existing condition it should be okay
My dog has just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, we’re possibly looking at a double hip replacementso I understand the worry xxx
Oh fuck, that sounds like the short straw.Ouch on the locksmith @Pollyanna263. I’m ok, life just gets in the way sometimes. The ponies are ok, Mr Horsey is ok, his rehab is slower than they expected, he needs a talking to I think, I really don’t want to have to do it but they want him to engage more and he isn’t listening to them. I get all the shit jobs
I think you need to submit yours again it was equally as goodOhh @easeypeasey sorry I meant to say congrats on the fred title! I’m only a tiny bit jealous that you won
This exactly!She won’t let Ron do anything. I don’t necessarily blame her for his delays as he may be autistic or have other stuff going out. She categorically does not help him in any way, shape or form though. She hinders his development in so many ways.
You can support and aid a delayed child without helicoptering them and doing everything for them. Ron has no voice because she doesn’t allow him one. She doesn’t talk to him. She doesn’t ask him questions. She doesn’t commentate what they’re doing. “Ronnie tipped the marshmallows in! Does Ron want to mix it, or should we do it together? You do some mixing and I can help if you need it!”
She’s the worst person to have a child with any sort of delay as she NEEDS quick fixes and unfortunately a child with delays will need support and patience and whatnot for YEARS potentially forever. There’s no app, no doctor, nothing that can be a quick fix. It’s on the main caregivers to be persistent, consistent, patient, loving, knowledgeable etc.
Poor Ron. That’s all I can say.
Ahhhhhh the dough decorationsHere’s an idea for you Soph, why not make salt dough next time?
4 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
1.5 cups water
Ron can help pour the ingredients in, and stir, then get his hands in to bring the dough together. Help you roll it out (put it between 2 sheets of grease proof paper so it doesn’t get sticky and you don’t need flour everywhere). Then use biscuit cutters to cut out Christmas shapes.
Next day, or a few days later, let Ron go wild painting them. You can even do your own if you like
Easy peasy. Christmas gifts for family made by Ron. Doesn’t matter what colours he uses, give him a big chunky paint brush, and some nice bright paints.
I did it with my boy on Monday. Popped them in the oven to dry out and they’re ready for painting next weekend on a rainy day.
Or you could buy gingerbread men and writing icing and let Ron have fun with that.
Or buy cheap plain fairy cakes from Tesco and make a few different colours of icing for Ron to go wild with. Great opportunity to talk about colours.
Don’t over complicate every single thing you do.
