@notatrollreally The mood swings seem normal for a teen and it can take a few years for cycles to regulate but what you're saying also sounds a lot like how my PCOS presented itself when I was in high school. I didn't get diagnosed until my late 20s because I had several OB-GYNs push me off. I...

@999forever Please call a lawyer. Don't get caught unaware. I don't want to freak you out but there are stories out there of good parents being wrongfully accused of abuse because of ignorant doctors who think every bruise is a sign of abuse. Talk to your boss and/or HR. If you're in the US and...

@mickaela You got this!!

@mickaela My kid is an early riser. He started waking at 4 when he was right around 18 months because he was needing a slightly later bedtime and an adjusted nap schedule (for the record nap from 12:30-2:30, bedtime at 7). Once we got that all figured out, he went back to his usual 6-6:30am...

@thedevilaintthatbad Is your son in treatment to help him deal with his anxiety in more productive ways? That seems like a good first step. If he's already established in therapy, or once he is, I would ask for a joint session with you, him, and the therapist. Explain why you want him to...

@3angels I definitely recommend checking out a good reference book. I love Putting Food By because it covers everything from pickling to jellies and jams to sauces, pressure canning and hot baths (what you did), pickling, freezer storage, dehydration... the works. It goes into all the how's and...
