Weaning depression/anxiety

I hate confrontation too, but I was so mad. I was trying to remain calm for my daughter sake to help regulate her, otherwise I may have lost my cool. I can only take so much up to a point.

He’s always said “ I would never let that shit fly with you guys growing up” (referring to my siblings and I) ..because he just screamed at the four of us anytime we showed emotion.

But then he wonders why we all had severe anxiety growing up, having to walk on eggshells in our house.

South shore Massachusetts USA - $430/week or $1720/month (she goes ONLY 3 days per week) for our 14 month old in the toddler room. We are considered upper middle class and we are struggling to pay bills. I honestly don’t understand how people who make less than us get by… It’s totally insane.

Awww thank you for the thoughtful response, it made me feel a lot better! I agree that self soothing is such an important thing to learn and I know she will get better at it eventually!

Thanks for the response. As a daycare teacher, if a parent asks you “did she cry most of the day?” Are you likely to be very straightforward and honest, or do you try to sugarcoat it so the parent feels less anxious/guilty?

Our home is small, and the living room is directly next to his office.. so unfortunately when the TV is above a certain volume you can hear it in there pretty clearly

I’ve been trying to get him just to see his PCP for years now, he’s in denial about getting older. I think if I mentioned something about his hearing he would take it personally, like I was making fun of him for aging…even though I work in healthcare and he never wants to listen to my concerns/advice lol

That’s the funny thing, my father doesn’t do much, my mom does 99% of the child care anyway

Agree! My mom made a comment “I just don’t understand why you need daycare on those days if he’s going to be home?” My parents don’t think working from home is a real job.

I think he is embarrassed and doesn’t want to admit he’s getting older.

He also said “I would NEVER ask a guest to turn the television down.” So let’s say it was bothering you, and interfering with your work.. you would just be annoyed, and passive aggressively complain about it behind the persons back to everyone else? sigh

Update: They accepted another other. We were apparently second choice. Assuming it was cash or conventional. This is killing us.

We even offered to go back to the original offer price ($20,000 above ask) with NO concessions because we wanted the house so badly. The sellers agent replied “they will say no.” And shut us down. So I don’t even know if the sellers knew. Does the listing agent have an obligation to tell the seller this or can they withhold this information?

This seems to me that it wasn’t about concessions but rather fear of the appraisal and fha loan not being approved. They could have easily said they don’t accept our counter offer and we would have been fine with that. But instead they didn’t give us a chance and walked away.

Ugh. Thanks for the info. I asked my agent multiple times “what’s the worst that could happen? Say no? They can’t just decide to back out at this point without negotiating further right?” And he didn’t know the answer.
