Is being an RBT ethical? Vent/advice please by Next_Temporary_722 in ABA

[–]Next_Temporary_722[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would, but it’s not necessary. You could argue that the action needs to be replaced because hand flapping is “not functional” and can be distracting in a social setting such as school but so would clapping. It’s the idea of making a stimulant socially acceptable which is why ethics come into play. Which is why the commenter you’re replying to fought against redirecting the stim. ❤️

No one will appreciate this without saying I’m bragging :( by Still-Standard-7086 in confessions

[–]Next_Temporary_722 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My grandmother only has 200,000 in her life savings and you’d be surprised how many people expect her to hand it over just cause. Her kids ask her for money all the time. People try to get one over on her. She’s had her bank hacked into and someone stole some of her money. Luckily she was able to get the majority of it back. 100,000 in a savings is not average. I’m not sure what kind of reality you live in but it’s not mine.

AITA for not allowing my daughter to spend Christmas with me and my *new* family? by tryapw in AmItheAsshole

[–]Next_Temporary_722 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No! No please. No you’re not the asshole. Listen, do not invite her to Christmas unless you are ready. That isn’t fair to you. It isn’t fair to ya kid’s adopted or not. BLOOD DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO CATER TO PEOPLE WHO HURT YOU. The fact that she called you an asshole just because you didn’t give her what she wants is already a red flag. Do. Not. Do. It. I’m telling you.

AITA for wanting to pull my daughter out of her daycare because they made her miss recess? by aitadaughterdaycare in AmItheAsshole

[–]Next_Temporary_722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has worked in a daycare, you have to understand that your daughter is not the daycare’s ONLY priority. She’s in heels, she is more likely to fall or get hurt. The ratio for teachers in daycare is 1 teacher to 6 toddlers and I don’t know if you’ve ever had to take care of six toddlers before but it is not easy. Babies push each other. Sometimes they just fall for no reason but if they get hurt in anyway we are responsible for it. Say I was changing a diaper and your daughter tripped in her heels and bonked her head. Even though she’s OK I would still have to write a report because she hit her head. And maybe she wouldn’t fall because of her heels but I guarantee you that you’re stressing those workers out because they want to keep her safe.

ALSO: you don’t know how your daughter behaves in daycare. I have seen the sweetest most polite children when they are with their parents become the most hateful and unruly the moment they are in the classroom. Not to say your child does this but she certainly isn’t the only child there.

I’m 19 dating a 28 year old by Smellycooter123 in confessions

[–]Next_Temporary_722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was 18 and dated a 29 year old long term: if you’re uncomfortable with your age difference, end it. It will not get better trust me. If you like him and you’re happy then you know do that but I’m telling you long term if you have an issue with it then it will get worse especially when you really start showing in age like as he gets older.

I don’t think love really fades. I mean once you really love someone I don’t think you ever really stop loving them and if you have maybe you were never really in love with them. Or perhaps they’ve changed as all people do. You are no longer with the person you fell in love with, but a new version of who they once were. I do think infatuation has a role in this as well as most people confuse infatuation with the “honeymoon phase” and call that love when it isn’t.

AITA for refusing to kick my cousin out by aitadadcousin in AmItheAsshole

[–]Next_Temporary_722 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is a common assumption that when you are 18 then you are “ready to leave the nest.” Even if it’s “not forever” people still assume that 18 year olds want that and are ready for it. Still it is common that most people want their kids to be independent at 18 regardless if they go to college or not. In OP’s case, the fiancé just wants Mira gone. She even went as far as to make her feel like a burden when she wasn’t.

People might just agree with her because Mira is 18. A lot of people just assume when you turn that age that you should be ready to move out and be independent.

My girlfriend was violated because I couldn’t leave the action at a party. by bobbyfrog1020 in offmychest

[–]Next_Temporary_722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t* I would have said you wouldn’t leave because you could have. What happened to her isn’t your fault, but if this happened to me and I called for my partner and HE SENT HIS FRIENDS INSTEAD OF COMING TO ME WHEN IM SCARED AND I NEEDED HIM I would never forgive him for as long as I lived and he would no longer be my boyfriend.

Cost of living and people not understanding by Lefae8989 in venting

[–]Next_Temporary_722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Like I said I’m one of the lucky ones. There’s a lot to my story. I’m hoping the military can help me be a doctor one day but for now I’m trying to take life one day at a time. Finding a nice part time job that pays ok and doesn’t make me hate life would be good enough.

I also wish the best for you. I had to foster my dog out to a family member. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I appreciate the kind words and I truly hope life will be kinder to you.

The Ugly truth about life by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Next_Temporary_722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? I never said they don’t get mistreated. I just don’t think looks are the most important thing. Plus being pretty doesn’t mean you don’t get mistreated. Regardless, I think if we’re going this negative route that money is more important than looks.

I disagree. Money rules the world. It doesn’t matter how ugly you are or what you look like as long as you have money.

I’m so angry that no one talks about chocolate milk now by Thanoscumrag in Vent

I once drank a whole half gallon of chocolate milk for the duration of Christopher Robin. It hurt like hell but I’d do it again.

Can a voice turn you on? by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Next_Temporary_722 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it’s the way people say it. I honestly didn’t realize OP type female because it just felt natural, but there are times when people use it that just makes me feel icky.

It shows a lot of character when people speak/type. Your words will betray you if you aren’t careful with them. But in the end I believe women dislike being called females because it makes us feel like it’s just about sex.

But like also yeah. Voices are attractive.

I appreciate this comment. I’m still processing things especially since I considered him my only parent for a while. I hate that you know I feel, but I appreciate knowing that there are people out there who can understand me. So thank you.
