@greyncay: At the end of the day, I might lose my patience, drop the ball, compare when I shouldn’t, and forget about self-care completely. But every laugh, every hug, every small victory reminds me that struggling doesn’t mean failing — it means I’m still showing up. And if showing up every single day for my kid is what struggle looks like, then I’ll wear that badge proudly. 💙💛 #SpecialNeedsParenting #DisabilityAwareness #parentingunfiltered #downsyndrome #ParentLife

It’s hard as hell. I miss the baby days, because this keeps getting MUCH harder.

Relatable to every point! I try to tell myself that Jamie “can’t do that…. yet”. Gotta throw the “yet” at the end of it because they’ll get there!

You CANNOT compare. Daughters is now 20 and it’s such a rollercoaster but ALL kids drain us.

I will say I do compare my two older ones to each other sometimes (both DS). I constantly have to remind myself that one is much more medically complex with an autism diagnosis, so it makes sense that she's further behind than he was at the same age.

Why can't we wear a spiderman glove to school? I don't see the problem unless it shoots webs and socks in the freezer, actually sounds like it would feel good... Also, I promise you will miss these days ... Lastly this was me when Bella was 10.. 9 years later you know what I look like now. I still donate to a gym membership tho 🤣😂🤣😂.. You got this... You and your wife are doing amazing

I sooo feel you. Fitness was my life. I never get enough sleep to have the energy. Partially it’s over 40 life. The other part is having 3 special needs kids 😂the counter table knock off. So relatable. The fall stims.

Lack of impulse control. Exhaustion. No internal monolog. Damn we are proud. All of the above!

I’m lucky I get to stay home with my son because my husband works. I mean we still struggle money wise. I’m working on my masters online too but Mikey is a full time job!! I couldn’t imagine working, school, and all the doctors/therapists. I agree it is hard to not compare and be a little sad but also sooo proud.
