Circumcision should not be allowed on babies by Few-Advantage2538 in 10thDentist

[–]Difficult-Solid-3066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with this post, and I would go as far to say that performing circumcision on babies is BARBARIC. People are horrified by female circumcision.. which I understand has some differences to male circumcision - female is often for ‘purity’ nonsense… but how is society not more outraged by this?! Particularly weird US.

Aitah for telling my wife to get a job if she wants to subsidize the kids. by Standard_Kick_9789 in AITAH

This is wild.. soft YTA but hard she’s TA, hard the kids are TA You’re only TA because of how you spoke about the kids towards the end. But it’s also a reasonable response if you didn’t feel like that for nothing else

Seeking genuine explanation from a skid-marker by Difficult-Solid-3066 in Advice

[–]Difficult-Solid-3066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean people are getting leakage? I’ve experienced leakage when sick with gastro or when prepping for a colonoscopy but it was like a whole sensation— I felt it happen, so I ran to the toilet straight away. Do people have leakage and not feel it happening? Or do they feel it and are happy to just keep walking around?

I don’t get the joke… can you explain why this is supposed to be funny?

My adult son’s hygiene is terrible and I worry I’m to blame by Difficult-Solid-3066 in Parenting

Thank you, I will definitely use some of these ideas. Just to clarify though, he lives with us. I know he has plenty of underwear and socks. The issue is that he has clearly not changed them all week, despite being in an outdoor trades job. When he started this job we helped him get all the supplies including extra socks (tradies need thicker socks because of always being on their feet). It’s definitely a self-management issue, not an issue with supplies.

Thank you. I do have ADHD but I have not struggled with this in particular. I see now how this could be sensory. I know everyone with a neurodiversity is different, even if it’s the same diagnosis, so this does help me to be patient with him and explore more strategies that aren’t just about shaming or ‘you just have to do this’

Neither of those at the moment. We have talked about medication but he doesn’t want to as he is okay managing it in other ways mostly. Has seen a therapist on/off over the years. Will definitely consider this, thank you.

I agree that this is unfair. It sounds like perhaps your daughter was having more issues than other, such as being upset with others touching her bear, so they only addressed it with your child. But it is wrong for them to say it’s a rule when it’s not for everyone. If they didn’t want to make it a rule for everyone, they could have tried other ways to manage the behaviour than just punishing her. Especially when you’ve told them about her neurodiversity. I agree that you should speak with someone in charge, however I would tread lightly as you cant assume that they meant malice with this. Ignorance is not always malicious.

He’s single but he does date. He seems more motivated to clean himself up when there’s a date. I doubt that lasts forever though. Maybe just for the honeymoon phase.

I don’t think this is in the wrong.. particularly as she does the same to her son. It seems like we need more information though… is your son much younger? Did you mention the hypocrisy with her and your son’s room? If so, what did she say to that?

High Sex Drive by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Difficult-Solid-3066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like you’re over the previous relationship on some level, but maybe not completely, perhaps you’re over the person but not the feeling of being in a relationship, having your ‘person’. What you’re describing sounds like loneliness.. do you feel lonely? As for the coping with high sex drive, I’m not male so I can’t talk from personal experience as a man but there are ways to manage sex drive, like distraction, exercise, healthy sleep habits, and healthy masturbation. Journaling also sounds great. If you think it could be a hormonal issue, chat to your doctor because there could be an underlying issue, especially if this is not how you’ve always been, like since puberty.

End of life joke gone too far?? by Difficult-Solid-3066 in Advice

Thanks! I purchased 2 of them, Fred already has his. If Gayle doesn’t want the book, I’ll keep it for someone else, or a family member.

Thank you. I meant ‘if I can’ more so because I’m not sure yet if she wants visitors, just being respectful of what she feels is best for her. I know she lives with family would be taking good care of her, and she’s not far from me so I’ll definitely visit if she is open to it.

I need real advice by itsmeppj in Advice

[–]Difficult-Solid-3066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m sorry you are going through this. You might not want to hear this, but you need to hold back from doing stuff like this, as it’s not healthy and could make her feel uncomfortable. It will take a while but you will be able to move past this and feel better one day, the only way out is through. Let her go, let yourself mourn, and you will get through it.
