'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What do I get for a recently engaged couple that is visiting from out of state?
So, something they will have to carry back with them? I'd probably go with a gift certificate for someplace near where they live?
Disclaimer: I have never bought an engagement gift.

Yes. I thought of that, but I really have no idea what is good near them. It's my brother-in-law and his girlfriend of many years who I like a lot. So, I really should get them something.
Timelies all!

So stressed about Mr. S and his behavior, and I can't seem to calm down for long. Ugh.
Can you just treat them to a special dinner, or does it need to be something physical to give them?
They won't be here long enough. I'll only see them at a family gathering.
sj, what about a good basic cookbook, something with lots of nice pictures?
Sheryl, can you see someone for yourself, for some support?
Sheryl, what Amy said. You need all the support you can get, and also some professional coaching on how to deal with him the best way for your both. It has to be so wearying for both you and Gary.
I've been seeing a therapist regularly for a number of years to deal with anxiety. I also went to a support group for parents of kids with ADHD last night. It meets once a month. The other parents are dealing with older kids than Mr. S(all school age)., so some of the things they were talking about didn't apply. Still, a potentially useful resource.
Sorry I disappeared yesterday! The As lost, which was sad, and it took 90 minutes to get from our seats to the BART station a couple hundred yards away. I've never seen a crowd half that size in Oakland.
In better news, the puppy showed up at his own building the next morning! He's a bit beat up, and he's in a cone, but he's fine.
That's good. The older kids were Mr. S's age at one time so maybe some veteran help. Children at that age are exhausting in the best of circumstances.
