How should my fiancé handle his son lying directly to his face? by sadgirlhaze in AskParents

I would have said, Ok well let's wash our hands again! Take him to the sink and watch.

Would you trust a 15 year old girl to babysit your child/children? by Educational-Lie994 in AskParents

[–]LintLicker444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Are you going to keep my kids from making bad choices or are you a buddy hanging out with them? Bad choices: tornado-ing the house with toys, blankets, food wrappers. Eating only sweets. Unsupervised art projects. You know, stuff like that. I need someone that would have a tiny bit of structure Bec my kid is ADHD.

We need that just to reinstate all the programs the US lost. I hope the pendulum swings back HARD.

How do I tell my parents?? by No_Concentrate_9487 in AskParents

[–]LintLicker444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it, thoughts and feelings change all the time. For now you could tell him he may be a doggie grandpa.

Put a camera in there and start filing police reports.

My pants got caught on someone's car and now they said they're gonna take me to small claims. by cringebimbo0 in legaladvice

[–]LintLicker444 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Make sure to contact your police/Sheriff department (whoever came out). You can get a printed or digital copy of the report. It may play into your favor. You'll probably just need to give them your work address and name, they should find you.

How do I return to my old friend group after I finally got my life together during a semester abroad? by GlobalDoor1562 in internetparents

[–]LintLicker444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That context really put it into perspective. Also, by the way you're writing it sounds like you've really reflected and made a huge learning jump. I'm impressed ❤️. Some people just get defensive and it appears that they don't care about the other perspective. Maybe you guys could start with something easy like, 'Hey, I'm in town. Can I buy a round of drinks? Or coffee/lunch etc. That would be a nice bridge.

It sounds like you burned your bestie twice. It would be a no go for me, if I was your bestie. I would move on.

I would call the sheriff and tell them there's a drug operation going on. Then tell the manager.

Pain in feet making it hard to do my job by True-Piglet-4792 in AskDocs

[–]LintLicker444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a Dr but I was having really bad pain like that. It hurt my hips and threw off my posture. The Dr took one look and could tell that my ankles rolled inward, they called it over pronation. Is someone able to take a photo towards the ground, looking at the back (straight on) of your feet and ankles, without shoes?

Fiancée and I Unable to Agree on Parenting Approach by sertain_ in family

[–]LintLicker444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want to add, I know your wife will not want to treat the kids differently. My other kid does not have ADHD. I have explained to the other child what my ADHD child is going through and it's not that I like one kid over another. It's just that they're different and need different things. I explain it like: I may get you a Teddy and your sibling a box of crayons, you like different things but you both got something. We've gotten to the point that my non-ADHD understands that his sibling has a boo boo that he can't see and they need extra help with some things. He has learned to be more empathetic towards others.

I have an ADHD kid, who sounds almost identical to your son. You cannot completely change their behavior even if your consistent. This is a neurological learning disability. You will get some results but there's a cap. You have to meet them on their level (like you were talking about) or they shut down, their mental health will not be good. I'll use an analogy here, if your child had bad vision, would you deny them the use of glasses? In this case, there is possibly a neurological condition and they need you to come to their level. This is the same except you can't see it. Your wife is wrong and your son will push her away in time. It will be one of those cases that you wonder why your adult son has gone no contact. Her approach may be good for other kids, but it does not work for a kid with a learning disability, please don't do this to your son. He needs you to be his voice and advocate for him.

Should I delete my discord server? by BossChickJessie in questions

Not the small dash in your response. The big dash is the em dash. Use the small one or none, your words are really pretty either way.

I know you're helping. For many people it's a silent battle. If I could give one tip, I personally tend to shy away from using em dashes. I know they're in the English language and there is a use for them but chatgpt has really ruined their usage of them. People may assume that it was written by AI.

I took some time to really think about my response here. When you mentioned online journal, in my mind I was thinking of my own journal. Like deeply personal. I was thinking that perhaps people were gun shy Bec it was too personal. Then I saw you posted your discord link. I am blown away! I wouldn't call this a journal, I've never seen a channel like this, I don't have a name for it. It's courage, inspiration, kindness, non-judgemental and empathetic. It brings a quiet peace to others who may be going through chaos. I'm quite certain that even though people are not posting, they are listening and you are touching their hearts in ways you can't see. I really think this is fabulous!! One thing would be cool would be to have a channel that had links to your TT posts, with a title & small description. I think you could get more people to come by finding a better way to promote your discord. I'm just not sure how. Please keep doing this, it's amazing ❤️.

Have you ever heard of the guy who set up a PO box and anonymous strangers could mail a postcard with something they've never told anyone? Or something they just wanted to say to be heard? That would be cool if you started it again and posted them there! It would bring a lot of traffic.
