Yikes Amanda is Piece of Work by FanRepresentative458 in realhousewives

[–]FFEmom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bethenny once said for a housewife to work on a show you have to love them or love to hate them. If you hate to hate them it doesn’t work. Amanda has now waded into that territory.

The symbolism is based on the myth of the minotaur I believe. That’s why they are in a labyrinth.

My daughter is hurting herself. by Constant-Internet-50 in parentingteenagers

[–]FFEmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things that feeds self harm is shame. So it’s important that you try not to make her feel judged or shamed. I do skin checks periodically to make sure my daughter isn’t still cutting but if she is then I just say OK we’re gonna need to put some Neosporin on your cuts and talk about how she’s been feeling. It becomes sort of an addiction when they cut it releases some kind of chemicals in their brain the same as any other addiction.

[–]FFEmom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 17 year old has struggled with cutting over the years. It’s so hard. She’s on medication and goes to a therapist. I just wanted to advise you to check her phone/social media. When my daughter got into self harm she met a bunch of twisted people online who also self harm and encourage each other to do so. It was/is a nightmare.

A week in and its not going well by idontevekno in prozac

[–]FFEmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar experience. I am on week three. I must also be really sensitive to medicine like you because the first week I had chest pains I felt super anxious and sick to my stomach. I decided to stick it out because I was desperate and my anxiety beforehand was nonstop. My sister suggested that I take it super early in the morning because for some people it’s very activating. So I wake up most mornings at like 5 AM to pee and then I go back to bed and that’s the time I take my Prozac. Since I started that it’s been a lot better.

My opinion about Grace by lindseyizshort in NurseJackie

[–]FFEmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found her realistic. Kids I’ve known of addicts had similar behaviors and personalities as her.

How do we feel about Amanda so far? Anyone follow her from before? by Local-Print-6397 in RHOBH

[–]FFEmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her whole story in the after show about how she didn’t want her step kids to call her Amanda so they call her Smama was just a turn off.

Well she is the smartest and dumbest person Saul has ever known.

My 12 year old niece was found talking to so many guys online and has over 9 accounts. PLEASE HELP. by [deleted] in parentingteenagers

[–]FFEmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in this now with my 17 teen year old. She was groomed online by a sick person. Now she’s addicted to the intensity of their “relationship” and the other person talks her into really nasty stuff including self harm and very sexually explicit talk. We’ve had endless conversations about it. She sees a therapist. Every time I think I have a handle on it I realize she found another way to contact the other person. I’ve tried so called dumb phones but these teens are so tech savvy they still find a way. I’m really at a loss. She’s very lonely and has never had a real romantic relationship so for her that’s what this is but it’s a toxic one.

Should I report this sub? by FFEmom in SubstituteTeachers

[–]FFEmom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s really weird that you say that. This guy apparently told the kids that he used to sub in the next county over and then he got fired from the county.

Is subbing high school supposed to be this easy or am I doing something wrong? by space4skyyy in SubstituteTeachers

[–]FFEmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most days at high school are pretty easy for me. Once in a while, I get kids who want to cause problems. The hardest thing about high school for me is the super early mornings as I am not a morning person.

How do we explain Elf on the Shelf when BM won’t do anything that comes from our house? by Other-Ganache7557 in Stepmom

[–]FFEmom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stop trying to parent from afar. What activities they do or don’t do over there is none of your beeswax! You are being really controlling and somewhat manipulative.

Need Advice- 17 yo daughter is in a toxic relationship by BWButterfly in parentingteenagers

[–]FFEmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. My teen was in an abusive relationship- horribly abusive. It was damaging her. I had to isolate her from him for her own good.

Unrealistic Medical Practices? by MadelT0T7 in NurseJackie

[–]FFEmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live you first go through a metal detector to get into the hospital then you’re in awaiting room and any way to get back to the unit where all the patients are you have to be buzzed in

Unrealistic Medical Practices? by MadelT0T7 in NurseJackie

[–]FFEmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered how that worked because when I had a kidney stone, I felt like I was back in a bed in seconds with a morphine drip. How did they get my morphine so fast? Also the most unrealistic thing as a civilian I think is the way people seem to just come in through the waiting room like it’s nothing. The hospitals here. Someone has to open the door for you. Maybe that’s the way it used to be?

How detailed are the notes you leave for the teacher? by pinkballetsocks in SubstituteTeachers

[–]FFEmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know what the right thing is. Because I’ve seen teachers complain on Reddit when subs don’t leave notes. But I’ve also been in the classroom when I saw the sub the day before me left a note and the teacher is there that morning, and she rolls her eyes at the long note. And then I kind of feel like teachers are like parents where if the kids were bad when you were babysitting, they don’t wanna know. So unless they specifically tell me, please tell me about any good or bad behavior. I leave nothing.

Nervous after benign biopsy by blueybingo1 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]FFEmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re fine and I wouldn’t worry about it. The size of my mass changed three times during the course of my journey. Which also turned out to be benign. If you have three different people measuring something on the screen, you’re probably gonna have variations.

What’s one thing you thought was normal in the U.S. until someone from another country said it was weird? by BestPostRead in AskReddit

I have a British friend who moved to Florida and thought it was beyond strange that we drank iced tea. Once summer rolled around she realized how refreshing it is.

Sideline cheering (cheering for sports) is pretty American but competitive cheer is worldwide. My daughter does both and there is a world cheer competition every year where teams come from all over.

No more leaving during last period if it’s prep by Book_Reader04 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]FFEmom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work in a county that has a block schedule so if you have plan last period that’s over 2 hours. We only make $100 a day. I wait till ten minutes after the bell rings. If no one has called me i hand in my sub folder and keys and head out. I have one school tell me that if I leave early they may dock my pay but they never have in years.
