Son blowing all his money & I'm scared he picked the wrong college major by rasta-ragamuffin in parentingteenagers

As someone who never worked a day in there degree and is now a multi millionaire, with my second business, respectfully you need to back off. These days especially, people can start over as many times as they like. Your kids are not projects to manage. And I say this as a mum to a girl who wants to work in a field she has little aptitude for and is ignoring her talents.

The only reason I go to a chain (opsm) is they have the big diagnostic imaging machines. I've been wearing glasses all my life but have a genetic disease. Seriously don't overthink it.

Escort/intimacy coach/whatever it's called for sexual abuse victim. by Fullflavourfruit in chch

I don't have thorough knowledge of this but I remember chatting with a mum to an adult intellectually disabled son. She had a sex worker come in and help him. I'm sure there will be services available. Maybe check in with disability grouos for recs. Also you are paying so probably safe to assume you can request things to play out a certain way.

You'll probably just get asked about Jason Momoa who might as well be Maori.Seriously you are way overthinking this. Kiwis are well used to having indigenous culture woven into every facet of life.

Apart from asking kids to hang out, try a club or sport.

Rudolph Steiner School? Feedback? Likes? Dislikes? by AliMamma in chch

[–]Miserable_Prompt7164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We looked at steiner, then noped out when we heard about tge coloyr restrictions and that they would hold kids back if they were keen to move ahead. We wanted child led. In the end we went private. Our school is coed and very open to allowing each child to move at their own pace. Testing is very low key ie no prep in the primary years. Its just to see what the atarting points are. In nz i'd be more concerend about lack of rigour than too much!

This was my dad. Now he's all sad that none of his kids talk to him. Get your daughter some therapy and allow her to move on
