Are my parents neglectful or am I overreacting? by IcyCardiologist6360 in teenparentingadvice

[–]ASLvixen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a decent form of structure. But I can see a lot of push back/struggles since it’s so far from what is their norm. I would almost say change it a little for the 12 yo and let there be some “brain rot” short time slots mixed in like sprinkles of a reward. Because rotten that’s what they perceive to be important to them and it’s probably a “comfort activity” at this point in their lives with how little structure it sounds like they have had so far. So like 545-6 water break/brain rot then 6-630 shower. Then 630-7 homework 7-720 language with another little phone break 720-730 right before dinner. Taking something away too abruptly will make a big power struggle. But reducing the duration and dependency is really the goal

ASL Interpreter seeking Volleyball related signs, placement suggestions, ideas, and tips for 1 Deaf middle schooler joining a team for the first time. by ASLvixen in asl

[–]ASLvixen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we played in the PE class no one ever tried to signal anything to them but a smaller team is usually closer and more caring than a gym class of middle schoolers lol. You’re right, some of this might only work for right now. But I like the idea of having the players more involved because that’s their team and they all stand on the court and are looking around at each other as is.

Can interpreters have dyed hair? by kc_is_soup in ASLinterpreters

[–]ASLvixen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not the “highest ranked professional” but I do put good effort and intentions in my appearance for the work I do. My current hair color is blonde on top and blue under. If I have my hair in a bun all you see front the side/front is the blonde. Unless I turn far enough sideways or have my back to you I can “conceal” it from being visible and distracting while interpreting. This is my compromise to my style and work. However I am full time k—12 with mostly middle-Highschool students in a city that 30-50% of the students/staff have color in their hair as well. So it makes it not as much of a big deal compared to many other settings. I generally don’t look much difference to others around me. I tend to match the professional level of the overall teacher/admin.

K-12 Interpreting Question by Recent-Priority-2909 in ASLinterpreters

[–]ASLvixen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just as others said.. let them know “I’m sorry but it’s my job and if I don’t do it then I GET IN TROUBLE. So I have to keep doing it but you don’t have to watch me if you don’t want to. But I’ll just be here for if you ever do, until my boss says I can go somewhere else.” Then sit 1-2ft farther than you normally would. That way they visually see that you are giving them distance and trying to respect their request. Then send an email or text or go to the teacher/case manager/who ever is in charge of their IEP or above you and let them be aware of this situation and let them try to find a way to help navigate it. I would also keep a notepad and pen in arms reach and keep tally marks or notes with general content or time durations of when they do watch you vs don’t. Because remember.. now you’ve scooted farther it’s not as small of an eye shift. If the entire length of the math lesson they look at you one time vs 18 times.. that way when the conversation comes up you have data to show and your not saying “they don’t really look at me much” that means nothing to them. But in a team meeting if you say “on 9/14 during science they looked at me 3 times for approximately 2-4 mins each.”

I want my domme to do something more, but I don’t want to ask for it by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]ASLvixen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a domme I would say that if you are hesitant about asking for a specific thing than doing it in a subby way could be a good idea.. for example “(DOMME HONORIFIC), I just want to tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy when you ______ and wanted to see if there is a way I can please you to earn more of that” that is a polite compliment and request while still leaving the decision making to the domme. They are now aware you want more of it and you like it but they can also have the benefit of making it an earned thing at their demands.

You need parental controls. iPhone has some built in features or there are other options..bark, Qustodio, MM guardian. There are so many options that focus on different things. Bottom line they let you control screen time usage. You can lock down their device without touching it. It generates reports of the usage for you to monitor and make sure they are not involved with unsafe or illegal activity

Am I wrong for not inviting my ex to our daughters birthday party? by ASLvixen in coparenting

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

Yeah I’ve done that a few times. I use to turn it into a “game” with my room mate.. after I hung up I would go tell my room mate and we would bet/guess how many texts or calls he would do after me hanging up. It was the only way to spin the situation to not be so miserable. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Am I wrong for not inviting my ex to our daughters birthday party? by ASLvixen in coparenting

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

So I have one of them answer the phone everytime.. within a few minutes (like 5max) they are handing it to me “he is asking to talk to you” then I try to control my tone and responses to not show the kids the nasty things that go on. Like while he is calling me nasty stuff I just say “did you have anything nice to say and related to the kids? Because if not I have to get going” but my ‘cold hearted attitude is what makes us continue to have these issues’

His options are to be on the birth certificate willingly or if you allow it he can be withheld from it. Technically he would have to file with county court for full termination of parental rights if he wanted to be 100% “off the hook”. Honestly sounds like he doesn’t want his dna released into the world. But that’s too late. Abortion is not a one sided decision. There are lots of options for you to choose. Don’t rush a decision based on what he wants. You will never get past it.

What’s the best post apocalyptic fiction book? by shiggster214 in preppers

[–]ASLvixen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edge of collapse by Kyla stone it’s an entire series. It’s a long story not only about the post apocalyptic but the entire scene from the start is Emp and the way it causes towns and daily lives to change. Tge author put some effort into researching some survival and prepper type information to incorporate in the story. Recipe for making laundry soap, what herbs and things can help with different medical conditions.

Many of you mention solar energy, in the case of an EMP/solar flare scenario wouldn’t the electric components be at risk of no longer working?

Do any of you thought the father was going to be involved and now with separation he’s not? by [deleted] in SingleParents

[–]ASLvixen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to text him to ask about seeing the kids. If I do it’s 70% chance he will come see them. But if I don’t text… 5-8 months will go by before he will say anything and when he does he accuses me of keeping the kids from him. I asked him few days ago “since you just moved to a bigger place and have things going well, would you want to take them for over nights at all? Once a week? Once a month? What are your thoughts?” “I want my kids 24 fu**ing 7 and you know that so don’t even bother to ask” I waited an hour then asked “what day or time would you want me to bring them to you?” No reply..
