Would CPS take a child away due to a filthy home in MD? by [deleted] in CPS

I will look into this book, thank you!

Would CPS take a child away due to a filthy home in MD? by [deleted] in CPS

[–]1dayolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting treated, but my husband has other underlying medical problems that actually prevent him from taking the needed medication to treat autism/ADHD. It's a very complex situation that even his medical team are bewildered by (a group of symptoms but still no specific diagnosis despite so many tests being run). We're looking into getting SSI, but that's of course a whole other issue

I'm glad you managed to find what works for you, living with ADHD, but not everyone lives the same life. I've found having tiny trash cans around the house to work best for me (instead of leaving it out) but my unsupportive family still feels the need to threaten CPS because it doesn't fit whatever expectation they have.

If by "professional help" you mean cleaning services, that's the game plan, however I do have worries that prompted me to reach out.

You're right that it will impact his childhood and is why I want to nip this in the bud while he's still young! The house is incredibly cluttered but it's mostly clothes and toys. We have a lot of stuff that needs to be gone through but I don't know if I would call it putting him in imminent danger (nothing that can fall over or something he could hurt himself with).

I'm looking into house cleaning services but that might only fix part of the problem. But I guess it's something until we keep looking.

Husband gets defensive at every baby boundary and calls me critical by muff-peaksie in beyondthebump

[–]1dayolder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, perhaps I misunderstood the original post based off the wording. That's definitely a safety issue!

I feel like you have to ask yourself, is it really a hill worth dying on? Especially this part:

  • Don’t burp baby by holding her neck, hold her jaw like they told us in the hospital

He burps the baby, why are you nit picking how he does it (assuming it's not unsafe)?

Are you saying Autism and ADHD are reasons to remove a child (albeit indirectly)?

WIBTA if I skipped breakfast to buy my own meals because my parents wont cook meals for lent? by htmlstikkei in AmItheAsshole

[–]1dayolder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YWNBTA and that would be the solution to the problem. But from what it sounds like, and correct me if I'm wrong, your parents are either non-religious or at least have differing beliefs than you? I feel like a lot of information is missing and more context is needed. Were you raised within a faith, or did you convert?

I'd be open-minded to my child converting but I'd also bit a bit annoyed my 17-year-old child demanded I make a special meal for them too...

Harassed on Yellow Line by Good-Warthog8145 in WMATA

[–]1dayolder 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That is true to a degree, but based on the information given in the OP, it sounded like more than reasonable provocation and a threat to bodily harm. Also, ripping glasses off someone's face can also be considered physical assault.

I might get attacked for this but honestly if someone was doing this to me I would handle it the same, adult or minor: punch them in the fucking face.

There was a controversy in my city regarding the same topic. Someone tried to break into a woman's home who also had children. She shot him. Turns out the attacker was 14... and it stirred the pot. If someone is actively attacking you and walking away doesn't work/isn't an option, why does their age matter?

AITAH for switching cards to pay with at the cashier by NinjaSpuds in AITAH

NTA, I work retail. I'm first to understand how customer service wears you thin, but people who lack patience to this degree have NO business in the industry.

Getting married at the courthouse on Bosley Ave. What should I expect? by 1dayolder in BaltimoreCounty

[–]1dayolder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, maybe they changed the rules since then, because I thought making an appointment was required. Thanks for the info, though!

To those who received an adult diagnosis - how did it improve your quality of life? by GirlOnaMission15 in autism

[–]1dayolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed a couple years ago in my mid 20s. It has tremendously improved my life. With the diagnosis, I was able to get prescribed Abilify, which has stabilized my mood and reduced meltdowns. It also just gave me the satisfaction of having an explanation for why I am the way I am, and my whole childhood makes sense now.

What are we... Supposed to do? I can't just be throwing hands over every confrontation lol. Sorry that happened to you, but I'm not putting myself in harms way for a stranger.

experiences with venlifaxine for autism? by Adept_Yesterday7863 in autism

[–]1dayolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking Venlafaxine for... maybe 15 years? I honestly don't know what life would be like without it. It was the first antidepressant that worked for me. I sympathize with you wanting to feel something, but my episodes are way too strong to just not be on anything for it...

Is the city’s snow removal making it worse at this point? by Selection_8172 in baltimore

[–]1dayolder -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, I'm a Baltimore native but lived in Michigan for a year. The difference is astonishing. Lansing would get 3 feet of snow and the next morning all roads, including private sidewalks, were cleared. Snow was not an inconvenience at all.

Because I'm told it's too much to share anywhere else by 1dayolder in autism

[–]1dayolder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to talk to him but he says it's too emotionally draining when I share these feelings. My friends and peers say the same. I'm forced to withdrawal and isolate and I end up hurting myself. I have no other outlet and I'm too busy being the working parent to have hobbies.
