I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who’s never told their parents they wish they were never born, it’s a very pushable button. I’m sure the grief isn’t a patch on the pride they feel for you now.

Really good post Kate. My parents lost two children before I was three. And now when I look back on my selfish tantrums and wishing I was never born, I feel their grief in my chest.

Jo; Magnesium eh? I’ll definitely give that a go. I think it’s hereditary, that deficiency… his da’s just as bad when he sleeps. You’d think I’d get de-sensitized over time but it just doesn’t happen!

Vicky; I bought a mouthguard but the kid was having none of it! Thanks for the chocolate cake advice, the power of chocolate can never be underestimated.

Baino; I think she was sad I didn’t bring Laughingboy, he’s a great man for these situations.

You can never mutter stupid and irrelevant things to a kindred spirit. Seriously, the fact that you are there to utter anything is awesomely comforting.
She laughed . . . that in itself is a connection you share Don’t be so hard on yourself.

i am like that also i tend to say the wrong things at the wrong time. i am also getting into the habit of grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw to due to stress with college and my home life. I have to wear a mouth guard now. Now i fell insecure about havung this thing in my mouth. Oh such is life i wish life wasnt all this stressful. My advice would be to be a good listener and try ans tring up a nice sentence when the person has finished talking. If it helps get your friend a huge slice of chocolate cake that way she will smile and maybe have her mind switched on to other matters. Its always helped for me

Oh honey. I’m the same. It’s the hardest thing to get right.

Teeth grinding. Someone told me it’s a sign of magnesium deficiency. My daughter was doing it in her sleep and I started in on the multivitamins and she seems to have stopped. I do it too, and I do have magnesium deficiency. Ugh, it’s the most torturous thing to listen to, sends me running screaming. I’d be ranting about it too!
