I say this as only a recent foster parent to a teenager, and someone who has worked as a respite worker for children with autism (in other words feel free to ignore). When making this decision, consider the possibility of #2 having similar development needs. Would that be a struggle? Would that be fine? One case I saw more than once was a family that had their oldest with special needs, and went for #2 only to be wholly unprepared for a second special needs kiddo. I know your kiddo isn't on the autism spectrum, and apologize if this seems really insulting.

Lead out in cuffs posted:It's a bit stale, but you could also ask in the fostering thread: If she misses posts in that thread I'll ping her to come take a look. I can confirm she is a magical teen whisperer.

That is potentially caused by using too much detergent alongside a lovely dishwasher, worse if combod with very hard or soft water. Pods are too much detergent. If you have powder or gel, try reducing the amount (a quarter sized dollop if you're us based is a good starting point).

What do you think would make a bigger difference, using the money moving, the time spent dropping off at this further away school, or putting the extra money and or time directly into other options like tutoring / extra curriculars / camps / more quality time spent with kiddo? Basically, consider the opportunity cost to chasing 'the best' school when you're already in a good one and look at other ways to spend that time or money that could have comparable effects.

Fuuuck. Only thing I can think of is letters to them about your day (slice of life) and letters on big days when you tell them about your big days / memories.

Don't make a lifetime decision that will substantially affect your current kids for something you feel you missed out on. That only lasts for one to two years and prioritizes your what if rather than your and yours kids now. Focus yourself on the joys your kids experience currently rather than thinking back to what ifs from when they were one to two.
