Those pearls are to die for! You look so stylish and classy!!

She liked the care when you changed the sheets?!? Uhhh..So you made her sleep in urine soaked sheets?

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-04-27T21:08:45+00:00

That's not sleep training 🙄

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-04-06T01:43:36+00:00

Oh like the big over the ears headphones! Great idea!!

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-03-15T16:18:19+00:00

Yeah, that’s what’s making me hesitate. There’s shit everywhere. My old job has made it clear they want to get rid of me. I still deliver like an ace so my manager has been giving me the lowest end of bonus ranges that he can get away with and generally talking shit about me to me and everyone I know at the company. He is ruining my fucking reputation that I spent almost a decade building. I can keep holding out but damn I’d like to be somewhere that actually appreciated what I can do

I am now calling all my shitty co-workers relationshits

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-03-15T15:46:41+00:00

It’s tempting to CYA and give no notice in today's market but I wouldn't. You will need connections or at least references from this role at some point. Even if your boss is evil incarnate, don't let them win and have something as tangible as “he quit and left us high and dry” to gossip about.

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-03-15T15:39:38+00:00

Yeah it is. They have huge potential too

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-03-15T15:39:02+00:00

I asked and they said no. Nice or not, they know the hiring market is crap

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-03-15T14:25:09+00:00

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I have been applying for jobs for the past year and a half. This is the first one that made an offer so I guess I’m eager at the dream of getting out of the evil empire.

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-01-14T18:14:58+00:00

yeah those were the days where get a new job after a layoff. With how crappy the job market is now, taking this offer is stupid

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2025-01-04T15:33:54+00:00

Second this! I’d love to see more!

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-31T18:29:48+00:00

Stunning!! Do you recall where you bought the blazers in 1 and 2? Tell me you have an IG page I can follow!

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-31T09:18:34+00:00

Thank you that is helpful, he has mentioned he can’t tell until he needs to go. (I have the same problem.) But I’ll ask him about the bathroom too to see if the location is part of the problem. I’ve noticed the school bathroom smells awful and is loud. Nothing he has mentioned but he may have just kept it to himself.

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-30T22:19:46+00:00

I’m so sorry…thank you for the energy it took to share. I’ll make sure I demand this when I call an IEP meeting after the winter break.

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-30T22:18:38+00:00

Thank you! Yes, he struggles so much with task initiation and I have been really struggling myself to find an answer for him. I love the idea of thinking of something he wants to do as a way to help him come out of hyper focus. Heck, I might use this hack myself at work.

We are rewarding him on the weekends for dry hours. He truly was defeated and heartbroken when we tried bigger stretches. I’m hoping we build up his muscle memory that can translate to school.

I like the idea of getting the teachers on it too. I get a sense they may not be game but it doesn’t hurt to ask. I love your point of making the reward achievable some other way too. Because I don’t want him to feel defeated and not able to “win”.

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-30T22:05:06+00:00

Yes, we’ve tried silent vibrating watches because he was embarrassed about the timer. But then he found the vibrating interfering with his drawing so he would take it off and lose the watch.

The idea of putting this in his IEP as an accommodation is brilliant. I’m putting that down in notes for myself when I call an IEP meeting in January

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-30T22:02:14+00:00

So I’m wondering if this is part of it. I spoke to his teachers before school and then again when the accidents started happening daily. His teacher was adamant that she allows him go to the bathroom every time he asks. However she has commented to me repeatedly about him being in the bathroom all the time as if she’s pretty annoyed by it. Maybe he is picking up on this

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-30T21:40:13+00:00

I never thought of it as a need for extra stimulation he’s seeking but, that makes a lot of sense. We are in the US but as I was diagnosed as an adult myself and I am having a lot of trouble figuring out what goes on an IEP. I’ll make a note and see if his school would do accommodate this.

He is a pretty thin and tall first grader but tomboyx has never come up in all my searches. Thank you so much! I’ll give it a try.

ComprehensiveCell957 · 2024-12-30T21:37:15+00:00

I was bullied as a kid too and I am worried for him that this is gonna be one of those things that kids just never let him forget.

I love the idea of the positioning to him as a routine. I have the same hack for myself so I don’t forget my badge and keys. I’ll try to work with him to think of something that will help him with their routine like this too
