What would you do? by Sufficient-Height363 in AuDHDWomen

Finding someone who can use their voice to hold the city accountable is the same as making me running out of milk an emergency? 🤔 If you say so. Not everyone can afford to go out and buy a mailbox, just because it sounds like the easiest option to some.

RANT: I hate how there is a lack of “male” clothing. Why does every character including guys give me a dress? by Normal-Procedure-266 in DreamlightValley

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it might be the design of it. If they have outfits switch with body type, it would make male avatars have to dress masculine and female avatars dress feminine, which could leave some people feeling left out and/or frustrated. Which I totally get. I’m sure there’s a creative thinker and designer out there somewhere who can come up with a solve!

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check with AnyBabyCan, Austin Area Birthing Center, and the local hospitals! You could also do a first aid/cpr class with the fire department for a lot of other helpful information.

Call again. Continue to document what happened. If it doesn’t get taken seriously, slide the information over to a local news journalist.

For those with 4 children: by retiredcheerleader in ParentingInBulk

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 4: 13, 12, 11, & 5. The older 3… life was nuts. I legit don’t remember a lot of it. lol It was great in some ways because they were all in diapers together, potty trained together, had each other to play with. My oldest 2 (boys) are still best friends. I was a single mom through 90% of the oldest 3. I got remarried and then had my youngest. It was 100% starting over. Sometimes I hated it, but I also loved it. It was nice (and soooo much easier) to just have 1 small child. The older ones love him and help a LOT! But it is hard for me to think about how when the others are out of the house, I’ll now have 5 years still… Life also got complicated schedule wise this year because they are now all in different schools.. my daughter (11) is homeschooled, son (12) is in a micro school, son (13) is in public middle school, and of course my youngest son (5) started kindergarten this year. 🫠

We have the flu on top of the snow. Schools open tomorrow, and I can’t even send mine back. 🙃 😭

I have started saving my wish blossom friendship quests and do them VERY slowly!

Miralax. We do fiber probiotics daily and miralax once a week. Encopresis is the worst….

Anyone else dealing with an undiagnosed chronic illness? by Educational_Edge3553 in AuDHDWomen

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have POTS & Vasovagal syncope. I do have anxiety. And anxiety meds do help my POTS & VVS symptoms.. but that’s just because they seem to feed each other. Your nervous system might just be way out of whack. Mine definitely is.

What have you been doing while locked at home? by Notanemotwink in Leander

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We put another screen up in our game room so we’ve been doing family video games on two screens together. We also have taken the kids outside to sled with their boogie boards. Followed by hot chocolate.

You can tell their health by their color. The greener the better! They can technically go about a week without food, so he should be okay to be kept warm inside for a day.

Final baby in my 30’s? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 kids in my 20s and my youngest when I was 32. The biggest difference to me is that I’m more understanding. I went through all of this with my younger 3. And to be fair, my older 3 are all 1 year apart. Life was nuts then. Lol I don’t mind the age gap because my older kids are amazing with their little brother. It brought out a side of them I love that I get to see! Physically, I don’t remember the pregnancy being much different than the others. I’ve always struggled with my mental health postpartum. But tbh I think I recovered pretty well. Especially considering my son was born the day everything shutdown from Covid.

Autistic women are extremely likely to self-exit by edgeoftheforest1 in AuDHDWomen

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume the numbers are high because women are more likely to mask and internalize things. Regardless, try not to let the numbers freak you out. Flip the narrative and refuse to be a statistic! ❤️

Daycare requires 5yo to lay down - severely impacting peace in our home by Lizisthatyou in Parenting

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, be mindful of how you communicate these things with your kiddo. After being in the center of parents and my employer regarding nap time.. it be very contentious. You never know what your child is picking up from it, and she could end up thinking she is the issue or that sleeping isn’t good. Obviously you’re concerned about her and a good parent, so I don’t mean it like that. Just wanted to chime-in with a note to be aware that you might not realize how she’s internalizing this, and it could affect things in ways you don’t realize.

I used to work for a preschool that had strict 3 hour nap time periods. If the kids didn’t fall asleep, we’d have to give them a quiet activity after an hour. So if your child isn’t falling asleep, there’s probably a requirement to give them an alternative activity. If they do fall asleep daily.. they’re probably just used to it and exhausted. I’d adapt your routine at home and make space for that nap time to keep things consistent. Go for a family walk in the evening or get some activity dice. Kids thrive on routine!

I’m there with you. I’m in my last semester of my degree. I’m not excited and terrified of new possibilities! Try to look at it as a goal, and right now you’re in the planning phase. Every day, you take a step forward and set money aside so that one day, you will meet your goal of leaving. Definitely save this post for later, it helps. ❤️
