My 5 year old has always been one to cry easily . I thought by now he wouldn't be like that but he still is. I understand for reasons like if he say no to a snack or it's time to come inside or things like that. Other reasons i can't seem to understand why he cries. He is speech delayed so can't really tell me why.

Some reasons that seem random

i've said things like be careful, go with daddy

many times when we say single words (never the same words so don't think the words themselves are the trigger) literally can be as random as "tuna" or "cupcake"

when we talk to people or even if my husband and i are talking he starts to get fussy and cries if it continues. sometimes even us saying good afternoon to people outside and he starts crying .

we always say these things in a normal tone so not like we sound angry

what could be the issue with crying so easily and please tell me this gets better. i know it's just crying but everyday we are walking on egg shells cause we never know what is gonna trigger him. On top of all my stress it gets difficult especially when the reasons seem unclear and happen no matter how happy he is

Hi guys i just joined this great group! I barely watched both films about 2 weeks ago and i'm obsessed lol.

How many times have you guys watched them? Is there such thing as watching too many times 😅

My almost 5 y/o was diagnosed a year and a half ago. I have only told half my siblings (those i talk to more). Well now i live a town over from my other siblings. They have recently been reaching out to go visit with my son. I didn't tell them about his diagnosis, not because i'm ashamed but because i fear they will gossip about him. I'm wondering if it will be best to tell them so we can attempt a short visit at least. My son doesn't do well with social interactions but I feel they think I just don't want to go. My son is speech delayed among other noticeable things so i'm sure they would be able to tell he isnt neurotypical.

For many years i struggled with infertility so i am insanely grateful to have my son. He is 4.5 and was diagnosed level 2 support needs over a year ago. I love him so much but lately i've been finding myself missing the life i envisioned more and more. I knew being a parent would be hard but never imagined it being this emotionally difficult. I want to read him betime stories. I want to have conversations with him. I want to take him to fun places. I want to play games with him. These are just some of the many things i always imagined when having a child especially having so many nieces and nephews. I'm eternally grateful that he is healthy and here with us and i know others have worse issues. I also feel like a horrible mom thinking this way but just had to let it out :( . I havent told my husband or anyone else for that matter how i have been feeling because he's probably going to think i'm a terrible mom for feeling this way

i have one child 4.5 and with SIL that has 3 children. what do would you/or wouldn't you share? like toys snacks and such. and would i be selfish not to share certain things

editing to add that i mean i live with her and pay rent/utities.

2nd edit not saying i don't want to share toys i was just listing it since i was asking a question . most his toys are in my room as there is literally no space else to put them but i allow them to borrow if they ask or let them in the room whenever they want. well unless my son is having a meltdown or getting overwhelmed

I just want to vent because i feel so bad and guilty. my 4.5 has speech delay and the other day i said in a sad voice "i wish you could talk" he does speak but still a lot of echolalia/scripting. Out of no where today he started saying "i wish you could talk" in the same sad tone i did. when i said it to him i wasn't disappointed i was just sad wishing he could communicate more and now i feel so bad that i said it to him and that he's saying it too. i probably sound like a horrible parent for saying it :(
