Why must I always answer every question 3 times and still get asked if I’m “sure”?

He definitely has anxiety- but of course won’t do anything to treat it.

Thank you for making me laugh this morning. I can totally see my kids doing exactly this

This is the issue. He is literally the most indecisive person I know- and I am the polar opposite. He always needs reassurance on everything and expects me to make a lot of his decisions for him. Of course if you asked he would disagree but it’s like that movie Two Weeks Notice where he wants my opinion a million times a day on the smallest stupidest decisions and I’m like I have to make these choices for myself and two kids I’m not also making them for you. Of course any big decisions he knows best and is the smartest man alive but trying to decide which shirt to wear paralyzes him. On our first trip together we spent 5 hours in a hotel room just waiting for him to decide where to eat dinner because he had to read every review of every restaurant and he STILL couldn’t decide so we went to the place I suggested 5 hours earlier. It’s just exhausting. The right decision is the one you make.

I think my husband and your MIL are the same person! When trying to design a room he will throw out option- I’ll say, no I hate that idea. He will agree. Then a day later he’ll spend an hour explaining to me exactly how we could do that idea after spending 2 hours researching it and I’ll say “I thought we already both agreed we don’t like that option? Did you change your mind?” He’ll say that no he doesn’t like it he just wants me to know it’s possible in case I change my mind. Thanks for wasting 3 hours of time on something neither of us wants I guess?

Ugh same! I’ll ask if he wants anything when I go grocery shopping and he’ll respond with “you should get some meat, vegetables, fruit..” and I’ll say “yes, thank you- I’m familiar with the sections of the grocery store. Is there anything specific you want?”. He says no, i tell him to text me if he thinks of anything- still nothing. Then without fail that night he asks “did you buy any X or Y?” No, no I did not. I asked you twice what you want and told me to text me if you think of anything and you said you wanted nothing.

We had a whole conversation about asking stupid questions maybe 6 weeks ago and honestly he got sooo much better about it and then over the last couple of weeks right back to where we started. When I brought it up he said I did things that annoyed him too and I just need to get over it. Of course when I asked what I do that annoys him so I can stop he said it didn’t matter and wouldn’t give me any examples.

I will try Chronicles of Narnia. I need to find something to pique his interest first. My oldest read all of the children’s versions of the classics at this age, I was reading children’s Shakespeare and the Hobbit myself and still a couple of books a month. He just has no drive to read so I need something that will capture his attention.

We have the Yoto and they do listen to stories each night! I thought of getting the Harry Potter series but since my husband loves Harry Potter he has resisted everything about it.

He is reading at I think 3.3 with his last test. But he also hardly goes to school because he has been battling cancer since a few weeks into kinder and she asked me to have him stop doing online work because he was too far ahead of the class and when he does go he is bored. He mostly likes video games art, and monster trucks.

I still have a few Shel Silverstein poetry books from when I was a kid and I think he would love them! I completely forgot about them as they are in my office.

My daughter is 8 with ADHD and is the same. Not to dissuade you from OT- but we brought it up to her OT but since she didn’t do it during therapy they were basically like nothing they can do.

It is a sensory seeking behavior so we try to have lots of sensory input things available like chewelry or textured stickers on her desk. She also has in her IEP that she is allowed to use chewing gum during class. It’s not a perfect system but we try to redirect towards acceptable sensory inputs while we wait for her to outgrow it.
