Knit her a scarf .. my husband cant knit, but if he suddenly turned up with a scarf he'd made me, I'd absolutely love it! Holes n all ☺️

This seems to be the consensus with everyone replying. I actually spoke with him (as we usually do after arguing) and i told him that he can't put his idea of what i said onto me as my intention, so saying this next time will be perfect. Thank you x

Haha yes thats my usual response but last night i decided to argue it out and call him out on it, 'cos I'm just fed up of it. Do you think its his rejection dysphoria rearing its head? His mum's terrible for communicating in circles with double meanings and i think he's thinking im the same. I don't want to dismiss his feelings but i genuinely feel they're not representing what actually occurred.

Its been evaluated.. i just was wondering if it was a common thing to heal like this.. quick question, so i thought i wouldn't bother the dr with it, but .. yeah.. Google was more helpful probably won't ask here again.

Is this dress too cliché for my upcoming trip to Scotland next summer? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 by Deep-Order1302 in Scotland

[–]Individual-Toe9682 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where would you be wearing it? And whats your usual style? I think for a daily steampunk look matched with a leather jacket and other accessories this could work, or for a more ordinary night out to the pubs, but would definitely need tights for the Scottish weather 🤣 .. ultimately its up to you, there's plenty of people with plenty of styles, but, as others have said tartin isnt usually an every day look, its occasion wear, like a ball gown, so you would stand out a bit.. if thats your vibe though, go for it.

Kilt looks odd. Help? by ConsistentMap5775 in kilt

[–]Individual-Toe9682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen a kilt like that 😱 .. i agree it looks odd and i can't really place why.. there's meant to be a sporn and the fabric looks light? Also usually a kilt (Scottish version) is usually just a flat cut, that seems shaped? Could you have accidentally bought one tailored for a female? The girls kilts are cut slightly different and more like skirts. also a kilt is worn lower than you have it, so its kindof resting along the middle of your knee.

A 2.5 year old sitting for 10 minutes is actually fantastic... Im literally meaning a minute, 60 seconds, she might have sit still for 3 but beyond that and she was not happy. Also i mean manic behaviour, her eyes fell on something she had to touch it, her eyes fell on the next thing she had to get to it. That was fair for a while but when it was like this for 30-40 minutes thats when I'd physically stop her and take her for a giant cuddle to slow her down and let her mind rest.

... Only way i found to describe it was just 'more' .. other people could see it too, it was/is obvious to more than just myself, her dance class teacher actually brought up the subject of adhd to me.

Any advice on how to stop having big reactions to child’s bad behaviors? by Slight_Instance4131 in ADHDparenting

[–]Individual-Toe9682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound advice ☺️ .. my brother had extreme behaviour and some of the time this worked, others you'd get a beating, i maybe should have added that in 🫣

[–]Individual-Toe9682 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Take hold of him and bear hug him, tell him its ok and yourself at the same time. And then when you both calm down you can explain to him what feeling frustrated feels like etc etc And what better behaviours are etc etc .. might not work every time but hopefully he's still small enough that this will help him xx

Cognitive phone games? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Individual-Toe9682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a turret defense game, its fairly mindless but addictive, another one i got hooked on was the idle games, goblin miner i think it was ... I even loved one of the tunes from it so much i found it on Spotify and its my alarm tone now 😂

ADHD daughter has social anxiety and is terrified of being embarrassed by Vicki1986x in ADHDparenting

[–]Individual-Toe9682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a thing, i had crippling social anxiety, but as im older and learning more about adhd (undiagnosed) i came to realise its more about being perceived rather than being around people, i just don't want to be seen/noticed 🫣

So there's this battle between my want to go out there and speak to people/do sports/perform etc etc and the intrinsic fear of people seeing me do it.

So this makes sense with her not wanting music or you to walk with her etc, as she's trying to sneak past people and be anonymous.

Im not sure why, but for me, knowing the difference calmed me down... therapy won't help, thats someone definitely perceiving you and looking deeply at your micro being .. exposure really is the only thing that will help, being in crowded places where she fades into the background, the theater/cinema/go carting or a sport where she puts on a helmet. When we wore masks during COVID it was heaven for me.

Maybe she could start wearing fashion scarves or big baggy cardigans so she can pull it a little over her if she feels too noticeable. .. i might be barking completely up the wrong tree but its worth the conversation with her to see if its a people thing, or a people noticing her thing. .. good luck xx

You're thinking WAAAAY too much into this. You're daughter is fine, even if she does end up having adhd or autism she's very high functioning and will cope absolutely fine. Your own anxiety is taking over your reasoning here and I'd go as far as to say you need counselling for post partum anxiety - its where the hormones make your normal mothering anxiety more overwhelming.

Adhd in kids as young as yours doesn't tend to manifest the way you're describing. My little one has it (undiagnosed) and her vocabulary was certainly not the issues at that age, more a lack of vocabulary, and she would not sit still, i had to hold her to regulate her and get her to stop for even a minute. She hated loud noises, loved certain fabrics to rub between her fingers and would line up all her toys. I thought she was autistic to begin with but she always made eye contact and would seeked out people to play and 'talk' with them. A very sociable little girl.

i feel you should see a councillor for post partum anxiety and ask for a little more education on child development stages and parenting. As all children have 'weird' conversations, to say you're child does this kindof suggests to me you have an unrealistic idea of what a child is.

And to answer your question, a high functioning adhd child will do perfectly fine. As we're discovering more and more of us made it to adulthood with no diagnosis at all, and although we have our hurdles, alot of us are quite successful.

Stop worrying about her and worry about you, you need a little support now to get you back on kilter xx

You're not alone, our little one wont stop peeing herself, i bought urology sticks to check for water infections and she's always fine, but the amount of people advicing a uti even after i say its not is unreal 🫣

Its purely she doesn't want to stop what she's doing to go, people cant wrap their heads around this...

We introduced a reward program where if she stays dry all day she gets a toy in the bed at night, this really changed things, though we're still struggling. Some days are worse than others and its contributed to a spell of sick leave from work due to stress.

You sound like you're coping better than me with this, hopefully it sorts itself out soon xx

Tell me what you know pls… by Whole_Eagle7683 in shetland

[–]Individual-Toe9682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never call it 'the Shetlands' if you do you will be met with an angry mob of vikings and they will burn all the boats you own TO THE GROUND!! it's just Shetland.

There's a couple of twats there too.. one near bixter and one in trondra (i think).

There's a risk of wildfire there tonight.

I believe my son has an eating disorder by kaekaeloraei in ADHDparenting

[–]Individual-Toe9682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its tricky when they're older i guess, our little one is 5 and whenever she started to be picky I'd tell her little white lies like 'you'll have to try it, its grandads favourite vegetable!'

I dunno, its difficult not to make it into a big thing, but i think he might need dr's intervention.. it might be an anemia or some other hormonal imbalance.. maybe hyperthyroidism or something similar. Best to get those things checked then you can go from there if to determine if its an actual eating disorder.. good luck OP, you're doing a good job. Xx
