Do the potato cake vs scallop one next time
Keep an eye on it for any infection - that can be a problem in fingers and toes, and you need to get onto it quickly
Oh, that’s a lot to deal with. Hope your recent appointment went well, dentistry-wise :-)
I do the opposite and end up waaay too present
That would have been terrifying - hope you’re ok
I feel like we’re invading its privacy
Being a non-girly girl, I relate to a lot of a the comments below. I was a tomboy and not into girly things. I didn’t fit in with most other girls (but reckon a touch of the tism didn’t help with that). Puberty sucked and there was a lot of body shaming in my family, so that didn’t help, either.
When my kid was in year 5/6 a big topic of conversation with him & his classmates was sexual identity, and they spent heaps of time discussing and analysing what their identities and preferences were. I was a bit surprised that it all came up so early (would have thought it was more teenage stuff, but clearly idk).
These things are out in the open and talked about a lot more now, so I reckon kids have more leeway to explore different aspects of their identities, which is so much healthier than denying or suppressing them like in the past. I’ve found as a parent, it can be challenging when things come up that I didn’t expect or hadn’t considered - it’s definitely taken me some time to get my head around some things.
I just want to say you’re an amazing parent, Peeler, and you’re doing a wonderful job with your kids.
