The title says it all. Years ago I was in an accident which resulted in a few of my teeth falling out and some other ones getting loose. I didn’t have the money at the time to get them fixed so the rest of them have deteriorated over the years and now I have hardly any :(. Now that I can afford it I am going to have implant surgery but I am petrified of surgery and the pain of recovery, so I have been putting the surgery off.Having no teeth and a messed up face makes it extremely hard going to my daughter’s school events and birthday parties she gets invited to. Not only am I extremely embarrassed but I don’t want this to effect (or is it affect) my daughter in a negative way. I don’t want her friends to turn on her and tease her because her mommy has no teeth. I often ignore the other parents when they ask for play dates and my husband usually takes her to school events and to birthday parties.Now that she is 5 it is getting quite hard to ignore other parents. My daughter is so outgoing and the life of the party so she has tons of friends and I feel bad that I’m taking something away from her (play dates and such). There is this one friend she has who she says is her best friend and she has been begging me for the past year to arrange a play date but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Her mom texts me often and I always have an excuse but this weekend my daughter hasn’t stopped talking about going to this place with her best friend, and her mom has been texting me all weekend to ask me to take my daughter. My husband isn’t feeling great so he can’t.How do I handle the other moms? Does anyone have any advice? I feel really bad for my daughter being excluded from a lot of things because of me. I will eventually have the surgery but what do I do in the meantime? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2J6VZXV
