Annoyed...

I am in quite a few facebook groups for special needs parenting and homeschooling. I posted a detailed question a little bit ago. This is the question I posted:

 Does anyone home school their special needs kiddos? I home schooled my son last year and it went great, better than I could have hoped for actually! This year I am having to register my daughter who turns 3 aug 4th. To get her therapies from the school she has to be a student of some sort. She doesn't know even basics like colors and things so that is where we will start. The thing is Fl requires you to keep a portfolio and records to show progress through out the year at the end of year evaluation and I am at a loss of how I would do this with her as she can't even trace atm. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you :) *I am only asking for advice on record and portfolio keeping. Not how to get her services or any form of school other than homeschooling. Thanks.*

 It CLEARLY states I am seeking advice on how to go about record keeping and portfolio options for my daughter because of her lack of ability at the current time to produce work on paper. I swear like 10 different bitches, yes, bitches! Came on there giving me advice on how to get therapy thru private care, in public school, thru private Pre k/head start programs, etc. The fuck. I know the laws, the options. Etc. I choose to home school because it is what’s right for MY CHILDREN. If someone else chooses to go with public school in some form, great. That’s what works for you and your children. Why do other parents feel like it’s their mission and goal in life to point out obvious steps, options, etc that we already know?! I have special needs children. I might not know everything but I guarantee I know more than a lot of parents on the home school subject. I know what resources are offered, therapies, how to go about evaluations and screenings. I have went thru this since my son was 4 months old and he is now 7. My daughter started showing signs of being delayed at 2 months and then we began documenting and such. I am not STUPID. I wish people would learn to read before they type so I didn’t have to be such a smart ass bitch. (On fb and in real life. I have no problem telling ANYONE when I know I am right.) People assume when we ask for advice they need to share every step and ounce of knowledge that they have collected since the day they graced the earth with their presence. IF I ask a question and outline information and ask specifically for info and advice on a specific portion of a post, then please, for the love of the internet, only answer that part of the damn post! We are all parents. We know our kids better than anyone else on this planet. I know what’s up. I know what they need, how to get it, how to find resources and make shit happen for them to help them be all they can be…But annoying judgey ass parents that think I know nothing because I ask for advice are really turning me ugly quick. And I am far from fucking ugly 99% of the time. I guess next time I make a post I will have to include a disclaimer at the bottom saying I am not responsible for being a bitch if you take it upon yourself to try to teach me how to be a mother to my own children. Get your nose from up your ass and parent your own kids before trying to tell others how to do shit. I know ya’ll have had this happen probably and it probably annoys the hell out of you too but guess what? You can totally tell them bitches to STFU and move on from your post! I even blocked a chick for getting rude with me because I pointed out the fact that what she said had nothing to do with what I asked. I told her what I thought of her unwanted comments and bullshit advice that was not even related to the actual question that was asked in the first damn place! *Sigh* It’s just fucked that you can’t even ask a question without those perfect know it all bitches raping your post to look better to other people on social media. I love knowing my shit and how to shut them up quick. I am very intelligent and have no use for people who think less of me. Rant over!

Tired...

There is no way to express how tired I am from the past few days. I feel like I haven’t slept in a year. My sons old bed broke and I have been sharing a bed with him and my daughter that I normally co-sleep with and it was horrible. I was hot, had no room on the bed and ended up tossing and turning almost the entire time. Went and bought him a bed, set it up and was thinking that last night was gonna be smooth and easy. Nope. My daughter wouldn’t lay down til about midnight and as soon as she was asleep my son woke up. He didn’t go back to sleep until the sun was up…Which means I also didn’t go back to sleep until the sun came up. I have horrible insomnia some nights but this was exhausting. I’ve literally went almost a week with no sleep now. I am walking into walls, tripping over my own feet and forgetting and dropping everything. Tonight, I don’t give a fuck, I will sleep! On top of all that today the kids have been hell. Anything and everything they know they are not suppose to do they’ve made sure they did it! A box full of lucky charms all over the bedroom, toys thrown (literally) all over the house, food dropped here and there...Horrible. I have yelled, sighed, debated crying in a corner and then ignored them all together just to grasp a little sanity until bedtime. I refused to let them have outside time today. The way my son was acting I was terrified he would demolish the house from the outside without me knowing. Instead I turned on movie after movie while I attempted to upload 600 plus photos of my sons schoolwork from the entire year. (We home school.) Now, in preparation for his yearly evaluation I have to organize all the photos and daily logs and sort through everything to get samples from the beginning, middle and end of the term. Fun...Yay me. I didn’t even cook dinner the past two nights. Last night it was subway and tonight it was chicken nuggets and sandwiches. As tired as I am they are lucky I managed that much. I did grab a shower earlier so I could at least feel human again. Now, my ass is planted on the couch watching Orange Is The New Black and I refuse to get up unless I have to take a piss or need a drink. I am officially off duty. *Sighs*

Let’s take a few minutes to address those perfect social media moms in depth. You know the ones I am talking about. The ones that are the first to comment on a photo we post about how irresponsible or unsafe something in the mix is. The let’s bake cookies from scratch and make them gluten free and tasteless. We will call them SMM (Social Media Moms). The photos I posted with this are so accurate. The top is what the SMM wants you to think is there norm...The bottom is what all of us moms know as the norm. I’m not saying hand your kid a 10 lb bag of sugar and a spoon but seriously. Is a prepackaged cookie gonna kill em? No. We didn’t have all these safety warnings, gluten free items, rules and regulations when we were growing up. I’d rather my kids be happy and me have some downtime than to be running around like a maniac trying to make sure everything is completely perfect. SMM think if we post a pic of a kid with a dirty face that we are neglecting them. Oh I am so sorry I didn’t take that extra 60 seconds and wipe away those cookie crumbs before I snapped this adorable picture of my son/daughter. Holy shit! There’s a picture of them with dirt on their clothes! Call the police! Those kids are being abused! STFU. You wanna pretend you are fucking Mary Poppins then go right a head sweetheart but in the meantime I am gonna be living like I am not in a damn bubble. I wont treat my kids like statues in a museum. They are children. Let them be CHILDREN! Stop judging us bad moms that actually post real life on our pages. You want to post a completely spotless kid sitting in a spotless floor playing with 1 block go for it. My living room at any given time looks like toys r us barfed their entire overstock up and it landed at my feet before they went out of business. And that’s fine. Why? Because my kids live here. They play. They spill shit and drop food all the time. I clean the stuff up when I get to it. I have color crayon and pencil decorated walls right now thanks to my daughter. Works of art that I will erase with a mr clean magic eraser when I take my lazy ass to the store and buy some more. It’s shameful that real mothers are scared to post our daily lives on our own pages due to some asshole SMM that thinks she knows whats best for our kids just because she reproduced and decided she was the queen of all reproductive results. My kids are bratty little assholes most days and they make me laugh all day...But sometimes I cry. When it gets to be rough and they just wont stop. They keep crying or something and I am so tired I feel I can barely move I tell them get away. Do they? Fuck no. They are like mosquitoes on my ass. Smack, buzz, land, repeat! But I love them unconditionally and that goes without saying. So, for all you SMM out there...Take a look inside your home and really look...Snap a picture right now...Is it perfect? No! Then stop expecting other moms posts, pictures, etc to be perfect. We know you aren’t posting what you really want to and that’s ok. We’re here for you when you decide to be a bad mama too. <3
