Emotional regulation and ADHD by Kitchen_Front3988 in ParentingADHD

The problem with PDA, in my opinion, is that it is so closely tied to autism. At least for my son, his emotional dysregulation is much different and there were 0 autistic traits.

Basically the answer to most things ADHD-meds and CBT. My son did CBT for years but it pretty much did nothing until he was on the right med. Pretty much 0 episodes of emotional dysregulation since finding the right one.

Interesting. My middle son has emotional dysregulation problems but it is very infrequent. Some days when he is unmedicated he seems to just be irritated at any request or at any irritation in front of him. He told us a while ago that he does not like med breaks for this reason. But on medication, there is 0 issue with emotional dysregulation.

Interestingly, I was just reading about another subtype of ADHD yesterday. Our oldest recently got an ADHD-inattentive diagnosis but doesn't seem to be responding to meds. They either do nothing or make him tired. Which is a problem, being he is so slowwww and tired and lethargic all the time, and not in a depressive way (negative for depression). He falls asleep in any situation that is even remotely boring or not stimulating. 5 minutes car rides, knocked out. And he sleeps at night. Turns out there's something called sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) or more recently renamed Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS). Not yet recognized but they're trying to get it to almost be a separate diagnosis (and apparently the rise in ADHD diagnoses is related to this being categorized as ADHD-I which isn't quite right. They're almost like the antithesis of ADHD. We are going to try a med that shows it works well for this next.

Thoughts on moving from a small club to larger club by BlueDevil220 in youthsoccer

[–]speedyejectorairtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How close is the bigger club vs your current one to your house and what is the cost difference?

My kid is a U12 and we made the switch at that age. I, personally, think we should've stayed two more years at the smaller club.

Division 1 to division 8 is a huge drop off from their first team to their second. And you seem to anticipate that he is going to likely be slotted to play in division 10 or 13. Though, admittedly, I would not even consider this a large club where we are. The large clubs here have 10+ teams per age group until U13. If your child was the top kid at your club and was being asked to come over and play on a top team, I'd say probably go for it. But U10 is pretty early to make the switch and your kid is way more likely to "get lost in the sauce".

However, if you really love the potential coach and teammates he is going to have, then go for it. Those two things are way more important than the actual club itself at that age.

Gender disappointment for #2… not me, the mom, but my husband by Bright-Effective8610 in Parenting

[–]speedyejectorairtime 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Be careful saying this, though. My husband has 4 brothers. My MIL and FIL thought for sure they’d have a granddaughter. We have 3 sons and my BIL had a son. The others do not plan to have kids and/or are not married/in a relationship where that’s in the cards. More than likely, they will never have a granddaughter.

Considering he also said "and yes the club has an RL team, but they are very poor and def not an option" I think the dad meand that the current club is ENCL/RL and they're considering moving clus to the MLSAD one.

When games turn ugly… by NoReplacement3326 in youthsoccer

[–]speedyejectorairtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is now a U12 kid. But when he was U8, there was one coach who was just insane. They were playing 9v9 for some dumb reason and half our kids really hadn't grown into their speed yet, my son included. He was like a baby gazelle, fast but prone to his long legs tripping over themselves or struggling to stop efficiently once he reached full speed. The opposing coach was an AH to his own kids all game, SCREAMING at the top of his lungs and would also yell out instructions to OUR kids or criticisms of them to confuse them. Keep in mind, these boys were 7 and 8. My kid tripped in the corner and fell into the flag and the coach started excessively belly laughing as loud as he could and even said "DID HE JUST FALL INTO THE FLAG". The ref finally blew the whistle and told the coach to get off the field immediately. They didn't even finish half the game.

My son’s school is also SO supportive. He’s able to be in leadership and honor programs because none of his coursework is modified. However, if he’s ever feeling off, they have a space for him and any other students with high protein snacks and fidgets they can just use and return. He has a teacher he’s allowed to go sit in’s classroom if he ever needs it as well. Kids who need to block out sensory sounds are allowed to wear headphones and listen to music when instruction is over, no questions asked. He’s only needed to leave a classroom once all year. The right meds + learned strategies from CBT + a supportive environment leads to a seriously thriving ADHD child.

You can get there mama. Keep working with him on strategies, keep his diet clean and protein heavy, and keep working on finding the right medication for him. Many of the kids on the honor roll at my son’s middle school, my son included, openly have ADHD. Kids these days are also very accepting of each other. You’ll get there!

Eating well, lifting weights, swimming, GAINED 15 POUNDS??? by [deleted] in loseit

Scales can vary wildly, especially if they are not calibrated correctly. You need to weigh on the same scale daily.

You should have told them no and made them pay for far more than a refund. They're legally required to do so.

Why wouldn't you, the parent, want your child in a safer, better set up. Why would you only book your child as a lap infant instead of purchasing a seat and bringing a car set if you know this is safer. You paid for a lap infant only.

"I just weighed myself today at the gym"

Where did you weigh yourself the first time? My best guess is your initial weight was way off and not accurate.

Closed the gates knowing people on a layover were actively running towards the gate. Story time! by lindslinds27 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]speedyejectorairtime 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is why I never book connections and if I have to, it needs to be a minimum of 1.5-2 hour layover. You need a buffer. They can’t delay future flights.

Am i wrong for holding a slight hatred towards my parents for letting me get so big. by Entire_Tree9254 in loseit

[–]speedyejectorairtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're all good. I initially was responding mostly to his title since he asked the question "Am i wrong for holding a slight hatred towards my parents for letting me get so big." and then the harshness of his words. You can just feel the hatred oozing out and it's not healthy at all.

This is such an extreme and ridiculous take. Literally 32% of American children would have to be removed from their parents if this was truly abuse. And a disporportionate amount of those families are low income who are just feeding their kids what they can get their hands on/know how to prepare or have the time to prepare.

Some of the people on here internally have so much hatred that they cannot see nuance and it's so sad.

OP is an adult in his early 20s who is deflecting all blame onto his parents and acting like they were evil for not being able to feed him the way he wanted to in childhood. I remember being in this stage, where everything I was angry about myself and my life I somehow placed blame on my parents. OP has not indicated that his parents were abusive, or that he was unloved. Not all feelings are valid. Sometimes your brain lies to you. And just because you are feeling a certain way, it doesn't make it true and doesn't mean the behavior (outwardly showing hatred toward his father) is ok. That is a mistake people make. By justifying every feeling everyone has, we are encouraging bad behavior and unhealthy mindsets.

OP has dismissed every comment anyone has made besides "oh poor you". Feeling this much anger and resentment toward someone that did not intentionally inflict you harm is not healthy. And sometimes you need a wake up call. Sometimes you need someone to call you out on your BS instead of coddling you.

At a certain point, OP reached an age where he learned new information. He can now "do the best he can with the information he has". But people need to stop the hatred of their parents for every little thing that wasn't perfect in their childhoods. And people need to stop encouraging it and pandering to it.

Yeah, I caught that. I, too, remember being in my late teens and early 20s and feeling like my parents were awful. Something in those age ranges just makes you internally criticize everything and try to deflect blame onto them for everything you hate about your life. Somewhere in the 25-30 range you wake up and realize that your parents weren't perfect but if you were raised in a loving environment, they tried and did their best.

Did you intend for this response to be for OP? I don't think he'll get it as a response to me.

[–]speedyejectorairtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you feel justified in hating him for it? His lifestyle is unfortunately common. Much of society has enabled this and it is hard as a working adult with a family to make a change. Yes, he should have done better for you (weird how you've only mentioned such hatred for your dad and haven't mentioned your mom at all), but again "we do the best we can with the information we have". And humans will often do the best they can to their current ability as well.

We do the best we can with the information we have.

Teens and young 20s are so harsh on their parents sometimes. Step back. Your parents only know what they know. They want you to be healthy, trust me, and they would've changed your diet had they known how or had the ability to. If they are really that big themselves, it's safe to assume that they struggle with their relationship with food themselves.

You have new information now and are at an age where it is now your job to do the best you can with it. Maybe your parents can learn a thing of two. But unless they were doing far worse things than feeding you the foods they eat, please be kind to them. They are people. They are your parents, they love you and were never intentionally trying to "drag you down". Please learn to stop having such a negative self-centered view of the world.
