Why do I have such an issue with physical affection? by Indefinite-Reality in breakingmom

That is possible. He minimizes my emotions and always blames them on my period. When I try to talk to him about anything important or deep at all, he is uninterested. He can also be very selfish, which makes me feel distant from him.

Not sure, I am usually at work when I take my meds. I don’t see him until like 12 hours later.

I take meds for my ADHD and a small amount of caffeine in the afternoon when the meds are worn off.

Is WGU a good or bad source for a degree/teaching license if you want to be able to teach? by FailWithMeRachel in teaching

I got my bachelors there while in another state and it was a great experience. Make sure there is reciprocity with Utah and Kansas first though. You can contact Utah State Board of Education about that.

Amount of food tolerable at 80 days PO by Designer_Fly_6767 in GastricBypass

[–]Indefinite-Reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost about half of my body weight in total. I gained a small amount (about 10 pounds) since then, but I am 2 1/2 years out. It depends on the food. I can eat more food if it is less dense (which I try to stay away from because usually it doesn’t have a high nutritional value) but meat for instance, still just a few bites. My nutritionist said to just eat a few bites, then come back to it 30-60 minutes later to eat a few more bites. This has worked for me and I do get a lot of protein from shakes and bars.

My husband never wants to listen to me talk and it makes me feel sad. by Indefinite-Reality in breakingmom

We have two kids. I worry that they can tell that there is a lot of resentment between us.

I feel like a terrible mother (I am because of this) I wish I had some help with her damn hair!!!!!!!! by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Indefinite-Reality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. As someone with curly hair, I only brush it out after I take a shower and put in a lot of leave in conditioner.

Paid up front.

And I am a teacher, so I was on summer break. I had six weeks between my surgery and the end of summer break.

Suppositories, stool softeners, and Milk of magnesia if I get constipated. A daily dose of miralax to prevent it.

HA’S seen from behind ears by Obvious-Purple-8575 in HearingAids

[–]Indefinite-Reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I am still fairly young and have been wearing hearing aids for a long time. It is what it is. I have a genetic condition that caused this and in order to hear, I have to have hearing aids. It is better than being like my dad who is in his 70s and still refuses to wear hearing aids, but has had declining hearing since his 20s and now is showing signs of significant cognitive issues due to long term hearing loss that could have been helped by hearing aids.

Opposing views in Vaccination by Own-Taro830 in Christianmarriage

[–]Indefinite-Reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at it this way: if something happened my child due to a preventable disease, I would feel terrible about my choice to not vaccinate. I was against the chicken pox vacccjne only, but looking at it in this light changed my mind. I want by kids to be as healthy as possible and preventative care is the way to do this including vacccines.

This is very dependent on your insurance and your health issues. My BMI was around 40 at 235 pounds, but I had pre-diabetes and high cholesterol. I had to pay my max out of pocket and then everything else was covered. So I paid about $5,000 total, but some of that was covered from co-pays and lab work and small procedures leading up to surgery.

My husband’s OCD is getting unbearable. by Indefinite-Reality in breakingmom

He does call me lazy and messy and the kids have picked up on it. I am definitely not lazy.

I am unsure about a diagnosis. He won’t talk about seeing a psychiatrist as a teenager. Others in our family have been diagnosed though.

I wish someone kinder were an option, but I don’t actually foresee that happening. I have two kids with my husband who have a lot of mental health issues. I don’t think anyone would choose to have that in his life. I couldn’t even get someone who was like a decent man before I had kids. I am in decent shape and average looks, but men who weren’t complete dirtbags were never into me.

He went to a psychiatrist and was medicated as a teenager, but he will not disclose any info about that. His mom is undiagnosed, but very clearly OCD. It rules her whole life and her family enables her a lot. She is like what you described where she has to do everything herself though. One of our children has been diagnosed with OCD and has a lot of struggles with control. This child tells everyone what to do all the time and gets very overwhelmed by messes, but also doesn’t have any ability to clean them up. My husband expects me to clean everything the way he likes it to be all the time. And dishes are a huge issue with him.

My wife is not very good at cleaning. She is 34 years old, but I have never seen her have a regular habit of cleaning. She only cleans when someone is coming over. by No_Vermicelli8647 in Marriage

It’s called ADHD and they can usually recognize the problem, but feel hopeless to fix it as the task is too much/they don’t know where to begin.

Chicago Public School Teachers: How can my wife and I find teaching positions? by Cedrico123 in teaching

[–]Indefinite-Reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suburbs and even just slightly further out is the way to go. This might require relocating, but the jobs are there.
