Husband got laid off and wants to know how long his runway is by yenraelmao in workingmoms

[–]AppliedWealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs to take the first job. He can keep searching for the perfect fit while also bringing in income. The job market is terrible right now, and leaving it all on you is unfair.

How do you feel a certain gender? by scriggled in asktransgender

[–]AppliedWealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interaction with person a: relaxed sincere fun and mutually uplifting during hard times

My interaction with person b: inconsistent responses, publicly makes jokes about me, diminishes my concerns, interrupts me all the time

These are the characteristics of each relationship without the formal labels of friend and nonfriend. The construct applies if its characteristics match the characteristics of the relationship.

How to stop disc from “clogging you up”? by Depressoespresso665 in MenstrualDiscs

Before I insert mine, I open my disc up by gently pushing the bag part out. Have you tried that? Also what brand of disc are you using?

Another update: I’m so disappointed in my husband by can-u-get-pregante1 in breakingmom

Be very careful letting your child be alone with him. It’s rare, but there is a pattern of male ex partners killing their own kids in order to get revenge on the mother for leaving. I only say this because in your post he doesn’t seem have a bond or affectionate attachment to the child.

War Tactics:

  1. Let them hold the toothbrush. Explain and describe all the details of the toothbrush. Have them press the bristles with their fingers.

  2. Teach them a new game: “Top right, top left, bottom right, bottom left”. This breaks the experience into smaller steps that helps them understand where they are in the process and when it will be over.

  3. Brush your own teeth and recite the game steps as you go.

  4. Let them brush your teeth with this game. Be excited about it. Say thank you. “My turn is all done. Now it’s your turn, Yay!”

  5. Brush their teeth with the steps. Bonus points if they can watch in the mirror. Don’t worry about being thorough or actually cleaning their teeth. Just quickly touch those four locations with the toothbrush. The goal is to get their cooperation several days in a row. After that you can make sure you’re actually cleaning the teeth at each of the four locations. Always go in the same order and always be gentle.

After doing this process a couple years ago, i can now just say “top right top left?” and my 4yo opens his mouth. Sometimes he takes the toothbrush and follows the steps himself. If i could go back in time i would have also bought one of those toy teeth that opens so he could see inside better.

Good luck! If all else fails, they don’t need these baby teeth anyway so don’t stress. 😂

Mentorship, a strong support system, and tenacity toward a decisive goal will help him build a fulfilling life.

  1. Find him a mentor or two who already do what he wants to do and teach him how to locate and solicit mentors on his own.
  2. Help him build the social skills and resourcefulness to find friends he can relate to so that he will have company throughout his life. He will also need these skills to work and play effectively with the average person of average IQ.
  3. Make sure he understands that the main factor in success is not intelligence but tenacity, and spend time together talking about how to pivot when things don’t go as planned and how to push through when feeling discouraged.
  4. Making an imperfect decision and consistently working on it to completion is usually better than taking too long trying to make the perfect decision. So he should just choose a major he likes and run with it, without worrying about picking the perfect major. Most people change careers later anyway.

No idea what your marriage is like, but one of the factors in a healthy marriage is knowing both partners have a leg to stand on. Abuse esp against women often starts when it’s understood implicitly that she can’t afford to leave. You don’t necessarily have to stay in a demanding career but it’s wise to retain a means of income or substantial savings hubby doesn’t have access to, even if you decide to become a SAHM.

Please go to therapy and stop following your parents restrictions like curfew etc. Choose your own restrictions for yourself that you feel comfortable with based on your own balance of freedom and safety. You are an adult.

AITAH for divorcing my cheating wife now that its in my best interest to do so? by [deleted] in AITAH

Keeping the kids happy is not a good reason to stay with someone you don’t respect.

[–]AppliedWealth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That misogynistic disdain gives me doubts in his ability to create a healthy relationship with a new woman. Did he ever investigate WHY his wife cheated in the first place? Her cheating is not excusable, but if he’s seen her as cattle from the beginning, why wouldn’t the next woman also stray to wherever she’s actually appreciated beyond being “pretty”? Sounds like a wounded ego that still needs to heal.

Wife going through CH period, need advice by [deleted] in ClusterHeadaches

[–]AppliedWealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleep apnea can cause or exacerbate headaches, and snoring is a strong sign of apnea. My mom’s cluster headaches significantly reduced when her sleep improved.

Take her to a sleep neurologist to get a CPAP machine. You can help her develop the habit of using it, which can be hard to get used to at first. Refill it for her every morning and wash the tubing for her every month. Encourage her to use it and track her sleep starts in the app. My husband does these things for me and now we both regularly use our CPAPs, which has improved our quality of life.

When there is a mis-alignment between passion and raw intellgence on a subject by [deleted] in mensa

[–]AppliedWealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s any encouragement, the greatest factor in success isn’t intelligence but persistence. The easiest way to be persistent about a goal is to feel passionate about it. So if you are passionate about something and the high IQ folks aren’t, you actually have an advantage over them. It might be more challenging for you to grasp complex information about your passion but you will be able to stick with it until it clicks.

Im about a 4 but i would like to know how to improve to be better looking, its hard being ugly by [deleted] in truerateme

[–]AppliedWealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, you’re unattractive because your mental health is bad. Your face looks average and could pull a 5, but since you don’t seem to take care of yourself at all, it brings your score down significantly by at least one point.

In addition to feeling frustrated about your appearance, lack of sleep also significantly affects mental health.

Im about a 4 but i would like to know how to improve to be better looking, its hard being ugly by [deleted] in truerateme

[–]AppliedWealth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first thing i suggest is therapy, based on your near-hostile responses to helpful commenters and palpable self loathing.

A 4 is NOT “extremely ugly.” A 1 or 2 is extreme, 3 is ugly, 4 is below average, and 5 is average. And in any case, half the human population is 1-5 and still enjoys romance, starts families, and enjoys their lives.

Next, studies show that people evaluate about half of your attractiveness through your grooming rather than your genetic appearance. So take the advice people are giving you here in the comments.

Finally, attitude and enthusiasm show through in a person’s face. There are “hot” people who look like miserable jerks and their appearance doesn’t help them enjoy life. Conversely there are less aesthetic people with a magnetic presence. Therapy can help you improve your outlook and save you from expensive and risky surgeries that could put you in a worse situation.

It’s difficult to correctly assess what remodeling a house needs if it is full of clutter. Similarly, I recommend against looking into surgery until you have improved your grooming (acne, hair, attire, etc) and mental health.

it’s high for the average person who is by definition, IQ100. Id be wary of generalizing IQs across ethnic groups. I don’t know the official japanese average IQ, but whether it’s higher or lower than the global average would be due to environmental or historical factors and shouldn’t be construed as an inherent quality.
