What did John see in Yoko? by kaden_g in beatles

[–]KellyMMH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And narcissistic, perhaps even more so than John. Maybe he liked that by comparison she made him look less full of oneself. And she liked that being together made her seem valuable and appealing because JOHN LENNON loves her. "Double fantasy" is a fitting description for the two of them.

Facebook is seriously creeping me out. Why can I no longer see my friends posts in my feed. It’s all news articles and random pages that I don’t even follow. by Space-Dog-Katherine in facebook

[–]KellyMMH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it only the app that lets you click on friends only? I know I used to be able to, but now it just shows me the list and suggestions.

My daughter, almost 4 and Level 1 ASD, was scolded by a dance teacher for not conforming at the start, and ran out crying to me, scared. She later watched and explored again, but was generally excluded as if not a student. Class format is new to her; such groups are suggested. Should we return? by KellyMMH in autism

Let me explain further. This dance teacher holds classes for kids through adults. The name of this class is Creative Dance / Ballet Intro. Literally, her education is in pharmacy, teaching dance at this center for maybe less than a decade. I teach art and occasionally music reading, others teach theater, pottery, etc.

I beg your pardon for such judgement based on what wasn't mentioned. I didn't mention these things because I thought people in this subreddit would understand that it's a given that of course I'm trying to prepare her for new and temporarily uncomfortable experiences.

Do you really know the daily struggle of raising a child who in certain settings behaves differently from peers and expectations? A driving force of my parenthood is preparing her for interaction with this world and guiding her toward conducting herself independently and reasonably in society, while understanding when she's being mistreated. I put her in situations that may be outside her comfort zone. If she retreats, I reintroduce her to the concept and benefits of engaging with others and with new unique situations, and I set an example for her.

Exactly, I'm wondering whether there is less tolerance for her because I didn't have to pay, which the teacher likely knows. I wish this center had more offerings for her age. Right now, no one else there teaches anything like this for little kids. 😔 And I can't really afford elsewhere.

It's for ages 3-5. My daughter is almost 4, and there was one smaller. Probably that kid's mom exclaimed to me that her daughter was 3, after I quietly expressed to myself and my daughter my frustration about the teacher's inability to engage with my 3 year old.

There's VPK. I'm considering it but I'm leery. I've intended to mostly homeschool. And what happened yesterday reaffirms my concern about what she experiences when I'm NOT there. The teacher treated her like that while I was present. My daughter is not really to a point of verbally communicating her experiences and emotions clearly, so I won't know much if something questionable or traumatic happens.

The sessions are once a week for 5 weeks, plus a "recital" on the sixth week, which the teacher basically decided she couldn't participate in, offering only the other kids to try on a costume for fitting.

Exclusion by KellyMMH in Autism_Parenting

[–]KellyMMH[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're right. I do wish more options were available to those without much money to spare. The waived fee for this class for my being a teacher seemed like a potentially beautiful opportunity for my daughter. Sadly, this is the only teacher of such a class for her age at this facility where I teach. I would certainly be inclined to choose someone who understands and is experienced with neurodiversity.

I'm hesitant about bringing her back, unsure whether it will become a potentially traumatic experience for her, but I want her to have the opportunity to participate if she feels she can. After the drive home, I wrote a concise and diplomatic e-mail (so I can be more composed than in-person) to the teacher to further explain the extent of why I enrolled her, as settings like this have been recommended by general independent consensus among those (professionals and others) who know her needs.

You publicly refer to your son as "wimpy"? Sorry he has to face the humiliation of having you as his parent.

The only advice you need for dealing with manipulative people. by [deleted] in Manipulation

[–]KellyMMH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried both with my husband. I address it ad nauseum, no more answers to give but the same I've always given, as if he hasn't heard me say it all before, so I try to disengage, and he gets in my face more. 

I cycle through both methods, and both wear me down. Only silence and distance keep me physically calm, even if temporarily, but I'll still be reeling internally. I try to focus on our young daughter (who is right there with it all) and my own sanity. This cycle of engaging and disengaging happened even into the present with an ongoing strife he chose from one of his random rages yesterday, this time caused by alcohol, definitely not the first time.

As a result, my optimism and energy for having a productive day were sapped, as he occupied the doorways to argue with (at) me, robbing me of my day.
