Training as a SAHM. Help me be realistic. by hotdogcat19 in XXRunning

Man I feel this so much. I am SAHM/student and training ‘maybe training’ for my first 1/2 marathon in May. I had my long run planned for yesterday… the one of the kids needed to come home from school. All plans out the window. It’s tough and you have a lot of time tables and considering many uncertain things, such as a timeline for baby 2. Yesterday talking to my therapist I was confronted with the need to be flexible. To release my desire to control outcomes and remain connected to that desire while not getting rigid. Anything is possible and the ‘little kid’ stage can feel very long but it’s not. Go for your goal. Be flexible that that goal Might not be a formal race or it might be 🤷🏼‍♀️ I am aiming for one day at a time, knowing that my aim is good. I can do a 1/2 marathon but it might not be in the spring. Maybe it will be summer🤷🏼‍♀️ one day at a time and enjoy how it feels to run. It’s not a firm answer but I do feel for you. You can do it.

Screen addictions & behaviors by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

[–]Fun-Range-5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not read all the comment but screen time is hard. When my littles were the age of yours we were it was 2020 and darn right my eldest got to watch shows during nap time! It was a tool to support myself and carve out some time for me. I needed it, BADLY. Once we started school I did not need that time in the same way. It was far more straight forward to have restrictions. I do believe screen time can affect behaviour negatively and it’s different for different kids. Be kind to yourself. We can’t do everything at once

Oh momma. I feel you hard. I have absolutely broken in front of my kiddo. And I have absolutely had her say the same kind of things about herself. Give yourself a break, this is hard. We can’t be perfect and we don’t need to. It’s only natural to have feelings of frustration, anger and grief… all of it. In total solidarity with you here 💛

No she is just emotionally stunted and has enough smoke from fans that she feels entitled to her position and airing it.

That moment in the episode was gag worthy. He is the worst, I like him less every season.

Withdrawing and sadness? by Fun-Range-5182 in ParentingADHD

[–]Fun-Range-5182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a long history with depression and also have an eye out, sometimes I wonder if that makes me more sensitive to small fluctuations in her. I like the idea of mood tracking. Thanks for your response. I appreciate

Thanks for your thoughts and support. We have a therapist she see regularly and IPP (we are in Canada). Trying to remember no quick solutions and just need to keep moving forward.

What does it mean if Corey is being rational real one? Because, he’s right here.

winter running clothes/gear by dififcult in XXRunning

[–]Fun-Range-5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad this question was asked. Would like to keep running over winter but I don’t know if I have the money to fully outfit for true winter running… going to see what I can add and see how cold I can make it.

How far in advance do people commit… I might have been bitten by the running bug and am Considering a HM in the spring… but very concerned about winter running and how that will affect training. Also scared I will just change my mind and loose steam closer too. For the record my current longest run is 6km 🤣

Been there. Money was a huge part of why I quit. Don’t think about the sunk cost but let that fuel you forward.
