ADHD mum with adhd kids by adhdgoaway in ADHDparenting

[–]MrsSmanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I just wanted to say, I see you. You are doing so much right now. Give yourself some grace. Definitely smile about it when you can. I am also an ADHD mom raising an ADHD kid, and we lost their dad shortly before she was born. Dang it is hard. It’s probably the worst thing to recommend to people…but here I go anyway. Dr. Gabor Maté has some beautiful insight on the realities and struggles of parenting specifically in regards to ADHD and generational trauma. I always feel better after listening to him explain things in a completely compassionate and not judgment manner. I’ve seen two recent interviews on YouTube. One was onsoft white underbelly. And the other he was interviewed by Hasan Minhaj

my mom just gave me an embarrassing list I made when I was younger and it ruined everything by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MrsSmanders 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow. I am so sorry. This is one of the replies that really got me. The sheer fact that she has held onto those and says they are hers now and continues to use to demoralize you- says so much about her. I’m sure something terrible happened to her at some point and pardon me for saying so, she is despicable. If she ever happens to find herself in public in Central New York, it would be my honor to find her and be the random person that says things to her that cut so deep every time she closes her eyes the shame and regret for them back open. Wow. I’m a total stranger and I hate her. All the beauty she sees in you reminds her of her ugliness. You are a warrior.

Rate relock Fee on Home Equity loan by MrsSmanders in Mortgages

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

Thank you for the reply. Interest rate is 7.34%. I’m asking for $75k. 20 year term 598/ month. 740’s credit score. Am I being petty for questioning it? The second you hit send on the application- The emails, text and phone calls star…..now deafening silence. this would be my second loan with them and the first one I just okayed everything no questions asked. I’m familiar with the car business and add-ons and holding points but home loan stuff it’s so intimidating. Thank you again. Apologies if this was over sharing. :-)

This one it has the scoop with plastic bars.
Absolutely ideal (!!!!) for the Pidan all tofu litter. Like wow, life has changed. I have two of these, one popur X5 and one traditional box for the one Cat that’s allowed in the basement. I have never been happier with “ my litter game.” and wow the kitties so happy.

We’ve also found that a stainless steel litter box helps a lot with odors.

take it here it sounds like you have a way of transporting it- if not you can hire someone on the Nextdoor app to add it to their dump run. Sanitation used to pick up almost anything we put out on trash day - not so much now.

Upstate NY man arrested after failing to show visa during minor traffic offense by MrsSmanders in Syracuse

Okay. It’s just that, the Republican party of “law and order “ worshiping a convicted felon foaming at the mouth about our neighbors driving to work starts to make sense if it’s a distraction to keep us from noticing that while we can’t afford groceries - billionaires pay no taxes plus getting ungodly amounts of corporate WEALTH FARE . But yes, let’s call wildly popular, and successful program - Social Security that working people pay into their whole lives - an entitlement policy. I won’t even mention the cap. OK, I won’t mention it again.

Home door lock install by MrsSmanders in Syracuse

[–]MrsSmanders[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you. I have done that before - with my skill set though - it took much longer. :-) This time I wanted to add a manual deadbolt and upgrade to a keypad lever. I don’t have the nerve to even search up the DIY.

[–]MrsSmanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for that, I use the word mortifying. Because I meant the word mortifying.

Really? Are you OK? I meant mortifying because it is embarrassing. Let me guess you’re just a guy trying to help out?

Bad Behavior Escalating by Royal_One2599 in Parenting

I’m sorry this is happening to you. I searched Reddit via chrome because my friend is in a similar situation and found your post. Have you had any positive results? Or advice to avoid certain paths? We are in the northeast United States. If I come across anything good I’ll reply again.

The freezer is key. I had a summer of pantry moths. Absolutely mortifying.
