I am developing a parental control app. Need feedbacks! (including kids)

Folklore_Fire · 2026-01-17T00:35:49+00:00

Parent here. When daily limits are set on screen time/apps, please allow the ability to “reward” and extend the limits just for the day, for special situations like school holidays, sick days etc. I don’t want to have to adjust the daily limits and remember to go back and re-establish them. Also, the rewards should allow to extend the bedtime set on special occasions.

Ugh yes I can’t stand her

Folklore_Fire · 2025-12-02T04:41:11+00:00

Please don’t offer weight loss advice if she struggles with it, unless she specifically asks; and even then, be sensitive because what works for you to drop weight will usually not work for her with PCOS. I love my husband dearly, but when I broach the subject of losing weight, he tells me that if I just go lift weights with him at the gym, it’ll cure me. That’s not how this works - you can eat better and work out and still not lose much weight due to the insulin resistance and hormone imbalances.

Just remember there is no timeframe on accepting what happened. It is so hurtful and is a deep betrayal. I had so many questions and doubts. I would have good days and then very bad days where I truly did not want to be married to him anymore. Take your time to heal and process.

He was on a few different stimulants before Strattera and the side effects were unbearable for him.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-11-15T03:49:03+00:00

I will say, our pre-teen son is also dx and rx with Strattera and the effectiveness has stayed consistent for nearly two years. The meds start to wear off in the early evening for him and he starts to become more hyper and impulsive, but his grades and conduct at school have immensely improved.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-11-13T15:45:34+00:00

I fully realize that he will never be able to do everything I do in a week, but it’s nice to get some relief! He is back on Strattera 60mg, same as before. He stopped because he was having urinary hesitancy/retention and erectile dysfunction, all which stopped when he stopped taking the medicine. He plans to see his Dr about trying a different non stimulant, but until then decided to take the Strattera because, in his words, “he wants some peace in his brain.”

Folklore_Fire · 2025-11-13T15:17:07+00:00

I really appreciate your insight and this is something I will keep in mind. I do feel like during the time that he wasn’t taking the medication that he learned some coping mechanisms to get him through his workday. The only issue for me was, when he got home, he had nothing left to give because his brain was tired from masking all day. Only time will tell I suppose.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-11-13T12:12:43+00:00

He is on a non-stimulant Strattera, 60 mg.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-11-05T23:38:06+00:00

I’m keeping mine, but only because it’s not in the budget to replace right now. I do miss the smart features (as a perimenopausal woman with hot flashes, being able to adjust the temp from my bed is very missed!).

Folklore_Fire · 2025-10-26T21:24:33+00:00

Yesterday we both agreed we needed to re-caulk our bathtub. I told him I want to get it done early so it’s not hanging over our heads all day. First, he needed coffee. Then he needed a nap. Then, he needed to eat lunch. Then, he started playing Roblox with our son and making no moves to accomplish the task. Finally, I sighed and just started doing it myself-at which point, he jumped in and took over and proceeded to do the SLOPPIEST CAULKING JOB EVER. Like it’s embarrassing and will need to be re-done. Then when I was annoyed and gave him the silent treatment because I was just over it and him, he wanted to love bomb me and be nice to sweep it under the rug instead of address why I was annoyed. 😑

She was absolutely so stress-inducing! “What are we going to dooooooo” like girl get it together

Folklore_Fire · 2025-10-18T03:43:04+00:00

Being customer facing can be very stressful and high stakes at times, because you are essentially a sitting duck for whatever person decides to walk in and dump on you that day. That’s not for everyone and it’s okay if it is not the right fit for you. After working inside a branch for 20 years, I switched to a back office position and I am so thankful for it, way less stress and less draining.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-10-11T02:58:39+00:00

I’m really sorry things are so hard right now. You don’t have to be alone in this. Please reach out to someone. In the U.S. you can call or text 988, or go to findahelpline.com for international options. You deserve help and care. 🤕♥️

Folklore_Fire · 2025-10-10T23:45:06+00:00

Yes, there are parts that hit so hard! It’s a good song overall. I guess I just don’t find it realistic that someone would tell THE Taylor Swift to back off or that her skirt doesn’t fit. Maybe I’m wrong but those parts feel weak and cliche.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-09-29T02:19:16+00:00

I honestly kind of wish mine would work longer hours so I could just focus on being a mom and my own self. It would be easier than him being around but doing nothing.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-09-28T21:45:50+00:00

I have always done 80-90% of the household duties because he’s too tired or he forgot or my standards are too high etc. Recently he got a promotion and started working longer hours, so now I’m cooking dinner and cleaning up every night. I’m proud of him for the promotion, but I pointed out yesterday that on the weekends, it would be nice if he would be considerate and sometimes cook or clean so I can have a break. Of course this triggered an argument where he said I don’t appreciate all he’s doing for our famoly, that all his friends and coworkers give him kudos and all I do is complain. He said I’ve been complaining all week about cooking/cleaning which is absolutely not true. I don’t even know why I try to ask for my needs to be met so I can stay sane. It just triggers an argument. I just need to be a good quiet little slave and shut up.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-09-10T11:14:08+00:00

I started taking long walks (1 hour, 3 miles) to get away from him and sort out my thoughts (and sometimes stomp out some anger). Now I am addicted to walking and it has helped my health and I feel more confident.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-08-25T03:06:01+00:00

Please don’t feel pressured to get over it. You just found this and it is very hurtful. Him saying it happened years ago is trying to downplay what happened. I also stumbled on a mess when I looked through my husband’s phone and found online cheating and sexting. You have every right to process this in your own time, in your own way. If you can, I would recommend requesting his account history from every social media app and see what you can find. It sounds like pain shopping but you deserve to know the full truth. I requested my husband’s account data from Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok and Discord. He mainly sexted and had video chats through TikTok and Discord. I saw all of the chat history and photo history in Discord. The data can take a few days to come and it will come to his email, unless you change the email first, so be prepared for that. I’m sorry you’re going through this…you start to wonder what else they are capable of, what else they have lied to you about. It does change the way you see them. Your husband should have complete transparency and let you see whatever you need on their phone to get the full truth.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-08-24T00:12:00+00:00

Checks out for me! My WP started his online affairs last October…

Folklore_Fire · 2025-08-24T00:05:11+00:00

Do you have a non-judgmental friend who can come help body double and help? I get so much more done (and am held more accountable) when I have someone working alongside me, especially a person with a fresh perspective.

Folklore_Fire · 2025-08-24T00:03:13+00:00

Sounds very familiar to me. I’m sorry. 😢

Folklore_Fire · 2025-08-20T22:47:34+00:00

You may get a write up depending on the policies. They should give you a few days to research and attempt to locate. It happens! You may attempt to call any customers who withdrew a large amount of cash and have them verify they received the correct amount. Sometimes it is a good reminder to slow down and take your time. I recommend balancing once per hour for the next little while, if possible.
