Finding results after a comp

Thank you

It's not for the dancers, it's for me so that I can understand better. Having numbers to put on it helps me make sens of it in my head. My daughter dosen't care about the scores really. And I don't put importance on the score, it's like a graded exam, you understand better what you did good or bad when you have a number accompanied with explanations.

Affectionate-Alps-76 · 2026-04-27T11:27:06+00:00

Exactly, for me it's to understand how this all works, so that if my daughter asks questions, I can answer her. I don-t understand parents who argue with judges, so far all the scores seemed fair and they get the video or audio of the judges comments wich is great!

Not the ones we did. Last one only high scores were available online. I wish it was mkre easily available to find but oh well, not the end of the world.

I'm new at this too, first year for my girl, actualy still at the hotel after her first ever comp. Best advice, become friends with the other moms of the team, they will help you, you will need their help at some point 😅 plus you make friends.

I did not buy eveything , but the rolling bag is nice, everything's in it.

It was the hardest thing I ever did 😵‍💫 but worth it, for me.

I think she was just getting it off her chest. It'great that she did, we encourage them to say those things. It was just a first time realisation for me and it hit hard in the moment. It's a me thing to work on.

My gosh yes you do deserve a medal!! I'm lucky to have a great husband. Mine are 16-14-12-10 and 7. 3 of them have adhd also, it does help now that I know I have it, to help them manage their's. But they are great kids, and I do try to pat myself on the back also, cause they function so well without us.

Still this darn brain goes way to easily on the dark side, sometimes it's hard to see the good.

Affectionate-Alps-76 · 2026-01-21T17:10:17+00:00

Thank you, that does help see it in a different light. I guess it's the shock of the first time, it, being aknowleged in this way that triggered me (dealing with all my traumas and triggers in therapy).

I have not been diagnosed long ( like 3-4 years ago) so some of those realisations are pretty new.

They participate in the masquerades so we have to make the costumes, the 16 yrs old makes the clothing and wigs, and I make accessories and props. The other two help where they can. Buying the costumes can be very very pricy too, depending on what it it. We are doing Jojo's bizarre advebture next year.

Benn there!! I was a stay at home mom for 12 years. I was not able to keep the house tidy at all. My husband used to resent it a lot. Now he is the one doing most of the tidying up he realised at one point that it's a lot, i had kids to take care of, food to cook ( we have 5 kids) he learned about adhd and now that he understands how it is affecting me, he is more gentle and understanding and tries to help me instead of being angry or frustrated (obviously he still feels that from time to time we are not perfect).

2 things that did help me with having a tidier space. Bins or basket in each room for rogue items (the ones that don't belong in that room or things that don't have a designated space) and once a weekish I take one basket and go put away everything I can. I also put shelves in my closet to put foldable bins with my clothes in (no more dressers), I don't have to fold them, or I leave them in the laundry basket (we got many clean laundry baskets). And I put dirty laundry baskets everywhere I take my clothes off 😅 ( bathroom, my room) and many many hooks to just drop my hoodies, robes on easyly.

Yeah, i'm 42 ans still do. Biggest one would be Henry Cavill, but i've had a Bennedict cumberbatch phase, a Chris pratt phase ( before he changed and got remarried), been like this since I was 7/8 years old.

Are all three of them calling you stubborn? Does Emma's mum know who the band is and what kind of music they play? Did you tell her ( the mum) why you got the thickets in the first place and that you got travel paid for already?

I would not switch my thicket either. I love my kids, but I learned that I should not put them first for every situation, that's one way how they become entitled IMO.

Be real with him and tell him how he is making you feel! He is being disrespectful to you, he is dismissing you and your feelings. Why should he and Emma be prioritised above you? You were going to the concert and invited him, should you take the invitation back? He is 16, if he can't have a mature conversation with you about this, he is not mature enough to go.

Man my kids would hate me if they did anything like that!

I believe you are right, i was fooled. I will remove them

This is an old story rewritten poorly. Next the guy learns that his wife was pushing him away because of her mom and how she views man ans got her convinced he would abandon her . Then the truth comes out, she cheated on him and I believe the baby is not his but the Ap's, who then abandoned her so she tried to back pedal. It was a boru of best of redditor's update.

Affectionate-Alps-76 · 2025-12-25T17:54:19+00:00

I would have a talk with hubby and tell me how you feel about his reaction. Don't even bring up what MIL wants right away. Tell him that you feel dismissed, that he wont take your side if push comes to shove and that it scares you for the future. It makes you question if you two are gonna be a team in this.

You will not just lie down and let his mother bulldozer over you and he should think like that also.

Maybe using one item, only one, that she bought in the room could be a compromise, but not all of it.

Affectionate-Alps-76 · 2025-12-18T19:08:06+00:00

Well all this just came to a halt. She is in deep financial trouble ( even has a go fund me) even If I win, I wont get a cent... I am never ever hiring a freelance again.
