I'm a mom of a child with autism, and I'm done with gentle parenting
I wanted to raise my daughter differently to how I was raised. But gentle parenting didn't work since she's neurodivergent. Now I'm authoritative. HealthI gave my daughter an uncommon name. People always pronounce it wrong but I still love it.
We named our daughter Charissa because it wasn't a popular name. Surprisingly, people spell it and say it incorrectly. I still love it. ParentingHaving an only child means we have more time and resources for her. But it doesn't make her spoiled.
Pregnancy and postpartum were very hard on me, so we decided to only have one child. I have no regrets because we can give her all the support.ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7o8HSoqWeq6Oeu7S1w56pZ5ufonyiwdOhpqtno5a%2FonnRqK6eZZ2kwq%2FA
