My son is 12, soon to be 13... and he throws a huge fit over sleeping in his own bed. Im at my wits end here. Every damn night its a fight to get him to sleep in his own bed. Hes as tall as me and on night where my husband and I are too tired to fight, he sleeps between us. We are far from perfect parents. But I feel like a horrible mom when he expresses how scared he is. I know he feels safe in our bed. But there has never been a reason for him to be afraid of sleeping in his bed.

This has been an on going battle for years. I k ow we f**ked up all those years ago, I just never thought we'd still be dealing with it. We've tried so many things to help. Im just not sure what to do anymore.

If youve read this far, thanks. I may end up crying myself to sleep because I am so damn overwhelmed.

Hello all!

​

So I THOGUHT i was getting an adequate amount of protein, but it turns out was only really consuming about half of the protein needed. I recalculate my macros (thanks for the assist Copilot) and its glaringly obvious Im no where near adequate. I've been trying to look for all the high protein options, tweak my current recipes to add more protein, but im still struggling to get enough and stay in a calorie deficit.

​

Anyone got good good recipes or tips they can offer, I'm all ears.

​

Let me add that I do also struggle with some textures like beans and things like that. Probably why I've always struggled so much with my weight to be honest

​

Ok Im done. Thank you in advance! You're all beautiful!
