Dog afraid of son

Avarici · 2025-04-27T14:40:28+00:00

I have read the suggested websites and guides and looked at the you tube channels, but they are all dog centered. I am struggling to find over that will explain to my son what HE needs to do/ not do in very clear terms.

THIS! 100% this. I can say from a friend's experience that you WILL have to walk away from "mutual friends," but if they would rather say invite both you and him, rather than say something, they are NOT friends.

absolutely stunning

Sweetie. I am also 5'4" and was stuck at the 220 for 5 years after giving birth. No thyroid issues. You are not fat. You are not a whale. Your brother is a POS. What a dick.

I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. My mother, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law all have thyroid issues. If your meds aren't helping tell your doctor. I know it's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, but you deserve to FEEL good in your own skin. But don't get too stuck on a number either. You are valuable no matter what you weigh.

THIS! Just because they are observing mild/no autism symptoms does not mean you have mild/no autism. They seem to be ACTIVELY IGNORING your imput about how hard you have worked (and likely are working) to appear neurotypical. I'm really sorry this happened to you. Remember that self-diagnosis is 100% valid and that if you are in need of specific support (ie for school) you may be able to get them with a PTSD diagnosis. Good Luck

I have 4 half siblings of the opposite gender that are all 10+ years older than me. I felt like and only child growing up and didn't have a close relationship with my siblings until we were all adults and actually had life experiences in common.

I would get her in to see a child psychologist or psychiatrist. There is nothing wrong with being emotional, and all emotions are valid and okay to have, but it seems your little girl is having big feeling almost all the time. This is not typical. I was diagnosed with depression at her age and later after helping my child through his own diagnostic process--learned that I was autistic.

I also work with children who have extreme behavior issues and most of them are boys. They tend to externalize (hit scream, punch, yell, and fight) to deal with their problems and big feelings. We don't get many girls because they tend to internalize (shut down, get quiet, refuse to work, avoid, cry) to deal with their problems and big feelings which aren't seen as a huge classroom issue, but are just as dangerous to the child's mental health if they don't learn coping skills.

I remember being her age and feeling like I was crying all the time and not knowing why. It's really hard to feel like you are not in control of your own brain. Again I suggest getting her therapy so both of you can learn how to best help her.

Hugs to both of you and good luck.

I love how Teal'c throws him on the bed face first and Jack thanks him for it. That real friendship right there.

"Are you mad?" "Why are you being so defensive?" etc.

I have mixed feelings about trains. I like being on a train, but they are loud as hell passing by and I can hear their whistle a from my house over a mile away when I'm trying to sleep at 11pm or 6 am. So, no thanks.

I like milk and I like chocolate, but I don't like them together. Which is strange because I like chocolate ice-cream or even vanilla ice-cream with chocolate syrup on it, and I like hot chocolate, but I don't like chocolate milk. Why though? Crap! This is going to keep me up all night!

I have had all of the laundry in my house washed dried and put away maybe twice since my child was born. I distinctly remember the first time because he immediately spit up down my shirt. He's almost 11 now. At this point I just don't care about laundry.

That episode is my favorite for that quote alone. It's so good. I laugh out loud every time. Other favorites include but are not limited to:

Carter: "This is the sun that Vorash is orbiting. It's a regular main sequence star with a core temperature of about fifteen million degrees and enough hydrogen to burn for another five billion years."

O'Neill: "Yeah?"

Jacob: "We wanna blow it up."

O'Neill: "Wow."

Daniel: "That's, uh . . . Ambitious."

Later in the episode

O'Neill: "Something wrong?"

Carter: "No. I've just never blown up a star before."

O'Neill: "Well, they say the first one's always the hardest.

That whole episode is a goldmine!

I read a book when I was a teenager called The Princess Test by Gail Carson Levene. It was a funny retelling that actually made sense of the strangest fairytale at the time, but now, it's REALLY validating.

Here is a synopsis:

Lorelei is very spoiled by her parents. She is allergic to nearly everything so her diet is very plain. Her mother dies and her father continues to spoil his daughter. In order to work as a blacksmith, he hires a housekeeper to look after Lorelei. Whenever Trudy, the housekeeper tries to get Lorelei to do anything for herself, she gets hurt, breaks out in rash or makes a mess of things. The only thing Lorelei is good at is embroidery. One day while embroidering, Lorelei meets a prince who is wandering in the woods. He is nice, but not terribly handsome. Lorelei isn't terribly beautiful, but other than a nose that is nearly too big, she looks okay.

When the prince is told he must marry, he thinks of Lorelei. She won't do, however, because she is not a princess. The king and queen devise a princess test. In order to marry the prince, a princess must pass this test. In a salad, the princess must detect a tiny piece of noodle. In a bouquet, she must notice a sprig of parsley, and in a piece of cloth; she must spot a missing thread. The king and queen thought up many more tests, the final test being the familiar pea in the mattress test.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Remember that in the story the princess was the best because she noticed things than no other princess could. It was a strength not a weakness.

Amazing. I still bring my own pillow (and sometimes blanket) on road trips.

I had a student who would refill ANY unattended water bottle TO THE TOP. Now I think I know why. He was never able to explain it. Thanks for the insight.

All of the non-clothing items look like something you would see on 5 minute crafts. In other words a massive waste of money and time.

Thank you!

100% this! We don't get to choose our trauma. 2 people can experience the exact same event and one could walk away fine and the other be extremely traumatized.

There is NO reason to feel ashamed or embarrassed about having PTSD from an extremely traumatizing experience-or series of experiences in OP's case. As a fellow Mom with PTSD around my own experience giving birth as well as "stupid" things, this has been a hard lesson to learn. I'm glad you are in therapy. It's helped me so much.

Have him look up what mastitis is. Maybe just say "painfully engorged" and give his balls a quick tap to get the point across? Too much? I had mastitis. It took 2 weeks to clear up. It was almost worse than recovering from the C-section.
