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 itāll look fantastic when itās 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 unbelievableā¦.
Well itās been a tit afternoon here.
Let me tell you Soph, you think Ron is hard work now, just wait until you have a teenager in your house. duck me. Mine has cost me Ā£100 emergency locksmith this afternoon after he left the key inside the door and forgot, until heād 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 wouldnāt 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 didnāt let him see me cry when I felt so overwhelmed that I couldnāt take any more.
Because heās a teenager, and the world is hard right now, and he made a mistake.
What if Ronnie did that? I dread to think.
Iāve caught up on 6 pages now, sitting in the dark as littlest is asleep and I havenāt got the energy to move from by his bed

Cakesā¦. Wtf. Did anyone notice they were Sainsburys marshmallows! Wonder why not Teschoooo?
That bleeping tree. I have no words. Sheās so self-absorbed. I think she canāt stoop any lower and then she goes and does it again.
@horseybox1982 so good to āseeā you, I really hope things are okay
@xcupcakex what a worry about the insurance who are you with? If same insurer thereās shouldnāt be a problem. If different insurer, if itās not actually a known / diagnosed pre-existing condition it should be okay
My dog has just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, weāre possibly looking at a double hip replacement so I understand the worry xxx
Oh duck, that sounds like the short straw.Ouch on the locksmith @Pollyanna263 . Iām 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 donāt want to have to do it but they want him to engage more and he isnāt listening to them. I get all the tit 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! Iām only a tiny bit jealous that you won
This exactly!She wonāt let Ron do anything. I donāt 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 doesnāt allow him one. She doesnāt talk to him. She doesnāt ask him questions. She doesnāt commentate what theyāre doing. āRonnie 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!ā
Sheās 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. Thereās no app, no doctor, nothing that can be a quick fix. Itās on the main caregivers to be persistent, consistent, patient, loving, knowledgeable etc.
Poor Ron. Thatās all I can say.
Ahhhhhh the dough decorations I've been wanting to do them this year with my children. Thankyou for the reminder!!!Hereās 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 doesnāt get sticky and you donāt 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. Doesnāt 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 theyāre 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.
Donāt over complicate every single thing you do.
