  Is anybody looking forward to Potbelly Sandwich Shop opening?

  1 0 Yes! I loved their sandwiches when I lived in the east coast. Plenty of yummy lunch options. Much more tasty (albeit less healthy) than subway. Them and 5 guys burgers are two things I miss about east coast fast food. pashtida answered in Eating Out 11 months ago Answer and comment »

  0 0 Thanks for the tips. They sound very relevant. The point about me-time is extremely important, and thanks for mentioning that. I do feel tired and eroded... pashtida commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 Thanks, Vinnie. I think we will give a shot to some artwork together, maybe this would enable her to express some emotions in a more legitimate way. Per your questions, she has always been an opinionated and determined young lady, very bright, very verbal from a very young age, and exceptionally dramatic. I guess this sets a good ground for the temper tantrums... It seems that most of her anger revolves around my attention, and having to split it now between her and her sister. So I try to spend as much "alone time" with her as possible, show her all the love and affection I can, be very understanding and empathetic - but all of this doesn't seem to be enough, as she continues with the tantrums. pashtida commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 Thanks, Janelle. While this approach makes perfect sense to me logically, I find it hard to implement for two reasons: First, I feel terribly uncomfortable with lying on the floor and screaming my lungs out. I'm just not that kind of person. I think that my awkward feeling would reflect on my daughter, and she will not experience my behavior as authentic, and therefore the whole drill will not be as effective. Second, in the more practical aspect, I also have the baby to attend to, while the older is screaming. She (the baby) gets really scared and needs my comfort and relaxation. I don't think she would get any of these by me lying on the floor screaming with my 3-yrs old... I think it's a classic case where expert advice collides with reality... pashtida commented about 1 year ago
