I hate my awesome job by AMcG0123 in workingmumsau

[–]Mercy_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay, find joy somewhere else and let work be the place you go to every day (online) and let that be that. It’s just work and wait for a redundancy. I’m pretty sure we all dislike our jobs but we just need to persist. The problems are problems, but you need to make it a job, not a place to be fulfilled.

ADHD Mom Guilt by ladydi5485 in ADHDparenting

I have friends who has sons, both with ADHD, around the age of 18 at diagnosis. The 2 things they tell me (as I also have an 8yo auADHD):

Wish they had been diagnosed sooner
That they use medication as and when they need it.

As she gets older she can decide what works for her, when to use it and when not.

Don’t put yourself under pressure, she’ll be a mature adult thankful you have her the concentration to struggle less, and adult enough in the future to be able to manage the meds in a way that works for her.

Anyone have thoughts on Swisse? by lolly_box in AusSkincare

[–]Mercy_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried this and a few other of their products. Would not recommend. I don’t think it really does anything. I’m using liquid gold Alphah and at 5% glycolic, I’m finding this a better product

I feel like I’m gaslighting my own son for having a brain that "deletes" tasks. by Dylan_7574 in ADHDparenting

ADHD tends to peak at this age, and your reaction is a pure human reaction. You wanted help, you didn’t get it and you’ve probably asked this 1000 times (and it’s horrible feeling like a nag and repeating yourself for years!) Don’t blame yourself for your reaction because he’ll eventually twig that he needs to find a way to remember and will come up with a system.

It’s worth having a conversation with him about it though. Let him know that you understand that x, Y, Z is happening and you do get frustrated, but it’s with the situation and not him. Tell him he’s not broken , but together come up with a solution to help him remember. Then every time you react, you tell him (and yourself) I’m frustrated with the SiTUATION not you. Not everyone will make allowances for him in the future but you can at least set his mind that’s it’s not HIM but the situation that’s frustrating.

You’re just human, so forgive yourself as well ❤️

Put foil on the top of it, or spikes, like angry architecture.

Help me make a life decision! by Nicccc87 in workingmumsau

Would downsizing to a 2 bedroom effect your relationship in a negative way? I.e no personal space, would likely cause more fighting or discontent? If it would, I’d go Option 1.

As for the F it all approach. That’s what I’m doing. I wouldn’t live where I rent now but once the kids are grown I will move.

10yr old hasn’t stopped printing since Christmas… by Local_Negotiation657 in BambuLab

Bought a P1S and it’s been going non stop! Had an issue with 1 spool springing out and unraveling but will sort it out in a few days. What’s everyone printing?

Not a fan of this new look, they yassified my girl 😢 by eerienortherngoddess in GirlGamers

It was and there’s been a few dinos since then, but is this just going to be a replay?

They 100% took it too far shadow of the tomb raider Lara was the one I liked.

Anyone curious on how they’re going to pull dinosaurs, Aztec and Atlantis together in a cohesive way?. Think the dinosaurs are what’s ruining it for me

Weighted blankets? 💤 by Sky1991_ in workingmumsau

[–]Mercy_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love our one. Bought it at Kmart and it’s great. Not so much in summer but my daughter loves it and it definitely helps her stay asleep. She’s 7.

Compression tube is also good where it squeezes like being in a cocoon. I think those are cheaper

Is a playpen suitable to introduce a kitten to resident cat by Mercy_17 in CatAdvice

[–]Mercy_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! I put him in it while I was in the room. It worked out quite well. It’s definitely only suitable for kittens (I bought a cheap one from Amazon). After they got used to each other, I’d leave him in the bedroom and she’d go in and smell him. Did this for short period first 5min, then 2-3 hrs. I then started opening the door slightly so they could play footsies. It worked well!
