We have those on the inside of F's doors because she figured out door knobs early, but she won't even go in her room during the day. And if she is upset enough and determined enough she can get those off. If she is mad she will find something to destroy. So really the only way I can do anything during the day like shower, is to put her in her high chair.
Man, just ascend already.

I used to make Emmett come into the bathroom with me while I showered, and he'd lie down on the bathmat with a folded towel for a pillow, and a big towel for a blanket.
Curiously, this is now one of his earliest and fondest memories.

I used to do that with my mom. However we have the teeniest bathroom ever and getting myself out of the shower is precarious at best.

The status is NOT quo.
Gud, you cannot be worthless if you have value to someone. I value your intellect, your comments, your dedication to our community. I can't tell you what to feel, but I can tell you that you matter to me and I would miss you if you weren't here.
What Vortex said.

Gud, if you want to start small, may I suggest Kati Morton on YouTube? [link]
She's a licensed marriage and family therapist. I know you do so much for your family, but if you have 5 or 10 minutes to watch some of her videos, I think it could be helpful.

Gud, what evreyone here said. You do have value. Please take care of yourself. You are important.

Yes Gud, know that we all love you and think of you as anything but worthless. I wish I had half the energy and drive you demonstrate in getting through all your daily responsibilities!
In other news, someone broke into my car last night. I came out this morning to find the driver's side door open with a smashed window, and a rock on the floor. He also ransacked it, so I hope my messy junk-filled interior took him long enough to go through looking for anything of value (and coming up with squat! Ha-hah!) that he suffered PTSD from the experience.
The Challenger in the space next to mine also had dings on the windows, but apparently their glass is junkie-thrown-rock-proof.

Sorry, Matt. Will insurance take care of it?
Gud, I am now and always will be sure of your value here and in offline life.

Unlikely, I have a high deductible and I can't imagine a side window costing more than that. I'm also annoyed because it happened before a rainy weekend, so I'm stuck in town until I can get a replacement window Monday.
