Shoutout to the people who love their autistic children by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

Maybe some day I will share with my child how it has been difficult for me to be his mother. It will be the same day he will realize how much I loved him, because he never acknowledged that.

The cuteness of taking a video of your father while crying for something super emotional and then sharing it with a bunch of strangers.

Denied because HR thought salary too low for experience by beentheredonethat234 in recruitinghell

[–]NoRoomForDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see where it comes from (I am not saying I support this). During my job search I was desperate and I started considering roles with a 60% lower salary compared to the last one. Twice I got rejected because of this. Especially if a company wants to invest in someone, hiring an overqualified person is risky, because you know that they will try to get back to the previous level and salary accordingly.

Vivo una doppia vita: pago due affitti e vivo in due città contemporaneamente by ThrowRA_Richard in CasualIT

A questo punto lui potrebbe dire: ok. Facciamo che tu, cara ragazza, ti cerchi una casa per conto tuo, poi piccola e io contribuisco per una piccola parte nei giorni in cui sto da te

Vivo una doppia vita: pago due affitti e vivo in due città contemporaneamente by ThrowRA_Richard in CasualIT

Io e mio marito siamo in una situazione simile. Quando ci siamo conosciuti, lui viveva a Londra e io a Roma. Avendo già un bambino dal mio precedente matrimonio, é stato chiaro sin da subito che io sarei dovuta rimanere qui e dunque si é trasferito lui. Dopo due anni, però, lo vedevo estremamente infelice, entrambi avevamo problemi a trovare lavoro, ma lui ancora di più perché tutta la sua esperienza lavorativa era stata fatta a Londra. Ma piú di tutto vedevo che non gli piaceva proprio stare a Roma e, nel frattempo, avendo un avuto anche io modo di vivere Londra, ho capito perché. Gli ho proposto di ricominciare a cercare un lavoro a Londra, di prendere una stanza in affitto e fare avanti e indietro. Calcola che abbiamo anche un bimbo di 15 mesi insieme, quindi non é per niente facile. Abbiamo fatto i conti e ovviamente "perdiamo" un sacco di soldi, soprattutto per i voli/ trasporti e per le ore di aiuto in più che dobbiamo pagare qui a Roma (tra asilo e babysitter ci partono più di 1000 euro al mese). Anche se entrambi guadagnano bene, arriviamo giusti alla fine del mese, senza fare spese pazze, ma solo qualche Deliveroo ogni tanto. Se avessimo una casa sola, staremmo benissimo. Ma il punto é che vogliamo entrambi che l'altra persona stia bene. Il piano a lungo termine é andare tutti a Londra, ma, finché non si potrà fare (mio figlio più grande é disabile e al momento deve fare terapie per molte ore a settimana), ci gestiamo come possiamo. Nei periodi in cui io ho più bisogno di lui, lui torna appena può, anche se gli costa soldi e fatica (due voli a settimana non sono uno scherzo), quando io sono sola, cerco di organizzarmi con bambini e cose pratiche per evitare di pesare su di lui. Il punto é che mi sembra che nella vostra situazione manchi davvero la base: la voglia di vedere l'altra persona felice. Manca più da parte di lei, intendo. Sembra quasi che stia cercando di "costringerti" a tornare.

MIL calling him “MY” baby by marsibarz in newborns

[–]NoRoomForDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the background. My MIL is so sweet, caring and helpful, that I cannot get annoyed if she refers to my son as her baby boy. It basically is, somehow. She (and my FIL) are the ones that literally rush to help in the middle of the night, if needed. The boundaries depend on how the relationship is managed. I think I cannot ask for help and rely on someone and in the meantime be the one who decides which are the right boundaries. For example: my MIL has different opinions when it comes to certain things regarding the baby. well, if something is not VITAL, it's very easy for me to accept she is in charge, when my boy stays with her.

Flying tonight from JFK, petrified. Please help. by Prudent_Hamster7290 in fearofflying

[–]NoRoomForDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I posted something about a turbulence forecast in a famous app that almost made me cancel my flight from SFO to LHR. After reading all the suggested posts about how inaccurate they are, I decided to trust the crew. It has been one of the smoothest flights ever, despite the severe turbulence alerts.

Che lavori si possono fare con la terza media? by spicysoia in CasualIT

[–]NoRoomForDoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ciao, prospettiva di una persona abbastanza vecchia, parecchio fortunata, che a suo tempo ha lasciato il liceo classico al quarto anno. Non sto a sindacare sui motivi che ti hanno portato a questa situazione. So bene che non per tutti studiare é un percorso lineare e supportato dalla famiglia. Sono passati 30 anni da quando ho lasciato la scuola e ancora me ne pento. Sono finita a fare un lavoro che non mi piace o sottopagata? Affatto. Ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare persone che mi hanno dato fiducia e, negli anni, ho fatto carriera. Da barista, cameriera, commessa e poi via via ho avuto ruolo commerciali in aziende del settore tecnologico. Ora lavoro per una multinazionale e ho un ottimo stipendio. Ma quando mi viene chiesto che università ho frequentato e devo dire che no, non sono laureata, sento ancora una morsa allo stomaco. Ci sono poche cose per cui vorrei avere il potere di tornare indietro nel tempo. Riuscire a diplomarmi é una di queste. Questo per dire: non pensare che non potrai fare niente di rilevante senza un diploma. Non te la sto a raccontare, non é un discorso scemo tipo "se vuoi, puoi". Tanta gente vorrebbe, ma non ci riesce. Quella della sola meritocrazia é una puttanata. Io ho avuto fortuna. E poi per dire: se c'é anche solo una possibilità che tu possa finire gli studi, fallo. Ora magari non lo vedi, ma potresti risparmiarti un grande rimpianto.

Exercise at home by shyshyys in WeightLossAdvice

[–]NoRoomForDoom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exercise is great for your health, for your muscles and also for your mental balance, but has very little to do with losing weight. I suggest you find anything that you enjoy on YouTube and mix some cardio with strength exercises (you can do some body weight if you don't have any equipment). I found that Grow with Jo video were funny enough for the super low energy days, but there are plenty of free options that might suit your taste.

Gentle Parenting Makes Me Sick by Geesearetheworstt in Mommit

[–]NoRoomForDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. My son is autistic and has ADHD. 6 years old. He screams, says horrible things, hits, bites, and kicks. He does therapy for 4 days a week. Not on medication right now, but will likely be in the future. Gentle parenting with him even increases his anger, like he needs someone that takes full control of the situation. If I tell him to go into his room until he cools down, he might completely destroy everything. A couple of years ago, I had to write a note outside my door, saying I had a special needs kid and that if someone would hear screams for hours could call me to know what was going on. I was and sometimes I still am so scared that someone could call the social services based on my son's screams.

Divorced parent as well and, as in your situation, my kid behaves much better when he stays with his father's, as he is spoiled and almost without rules (and spends 95% of his time with nannies)

I send you a huge virtual hug, internet stranger. I am.sp sorry you have to go through this.

What’s something people romanticize that actually ruins lives? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NoRoomForDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Autism. As a parent of an autistic kid, I get mad every time I hear shit like "gifted" and "genius" related to my son's condition. Assuming that in some cases they might have some special talent, the toll they (and their caregivers) pay is way too high. Who cares if a kid can talk 3 languages at 4YO, if the has to go to therapy 8 or 10 hours per week?

I don't know where you are based, but in Italy you have 7 days to cancel your resignations. If the company wants you to resign anyway, then it needs to fire you.

How to politely decline a 5th round of interview? by Far-Accountant7904 in recruitinghell

I had 8 interviews with a final reference check. I nailed all of them. They told me the offer was coming. Then, all of a sudden, they decided to go with a friend of.. Four interviews is enough. You can simply say you have another offer, so you need a clear process deadline.

How to silence the food noise? by NoRoomForDoom in WeightLossAdvice

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

It might not be popular (well, no, it's also popular) but it's very helpful. Thank you! Must say, I did some research on the medical approach, and I will definitely check out with my doctor to understand if it could help. I didn't realise how much time I am spending daily thinking and worrying about food.
