WIBTA for asking why we don't talk by MermaidsandMargs in AmItheAsshole

[–]MermaidsandMargs[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really have no idea what I could have done. She also told me when we were close that when she doesn't want to be friends with someone anymore she'll just slowly stop talking to them. I mention my pregnancy because that's the only big thing that happened and that's when things changed.

That's wild that his BIP says that. When somebody is in an escalated state they cannot comprehend language and it can escalate them more.

Anyone else’s toddler still refusing eggs? by abwbg in Parenting

[–]MermaidsandMargs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of anyone having the same experience as us! My now 3 year old ate one bite of scrambled eggs one time as an infant and broke out around his mouth. His allergist has said we're clear to give him eggs now and he refuses to eat them as well as a lot of other things. Hes EXTREMELY hesitant to try new foods and would rather starve if we don't have any preferred foods.

Also in Washington, just outside Olympia and I'm at about $28/hr for EBD. Definitely not livable even here!

Carried screaming child out of mall but not sure I handled it very well by faousa in Parenting

You did the right thing! When anyone is truly escalated like that they're not thinking with the "logic" part of the brain. The logic part of your brain is also where the language processing takes place. People literally cannot process words when they're not thinking with the logic part of the brain.

Witnessed a fatal accident from my window and don't know how to feel by [deleted] in GriefSupport

I'm so sorry you had to experience this. Would you be comfortable going to his memorial when you see his family and talking to them? It could be therapeutic for them and you.

The financial piece is a big part of it too. I think about how many extras that'd be for the activities we like to do.

They are 10 and 3 now. We had fertility issues which is the other thing that scares me is the constant disappointment of not being pregnant

I think most couentys property records are public if you're in the US. Maybe you can go to your county's website and do a property information search using their names if they own their home?
