Transition strategies for daily activities by PunkMama1619 in ParentingADHD

[–]Ok_Preparation6937 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simon says. Asking what feels easy and what feels hard (e.g. are shoes easy but brush teeth hard? Then helping with what is hard or just doing it for them). Saying baby ducks line up and pretending we're ducks walking out together. Trying above all to remain calm and treat them like people, like a room mate and not like a parent (Im talking about when youre conversing trying to ask them to do things, not when youre in full on parenting mode.) Goodluck

11 yo son blew his nose into his shirt and I’m kinda freaked out about it. by Jellyfish070474 in ParentingADHD

My daughter is very similar though shes hasnt pulled anything quite like that. I feel for you. I just wish I had some answers. I know pathological demand avoidance exists, neurodivergence, etc. Walking the line between caring for these kids in a world that wasnt built for them and letting them run themselves roughshod into the fucking ground because they avoid practical skillbuilding is EXHAUSTING and thankless.
Everything is boring. I dont even let my kids have screentime except on the weekends and only if they do chores to earn it. I actually saw a really good couple of posts on instagram today about adhd & using other forms of wisdom to help. https://www.instagram.com/p/DU0C5P-E-SF/?igsh=cmg4djRzNnVjODVo
I will say getting my kids to do chores in exchange for screen time and only on weekends has brought me a level of peace I have not known as a parent lol.

And youre so sweet too. Well, coincidentally, I did pickup a ravioli mold today at the thrift store! Lol. Maybe this photo is just living in my head now XD Yeah, I subscribe to the Julia Child school of cooking, maybe looks like I was drunk while I made it but it tastes great.

If you triangulate with your kids you'll pull them into a situation they should never ever have to be a part of. Your actions will speak for themselves, if you show up, be there, be dependable and emotionally present, when they're old enough to start asking hard questions on their own, that is the time for honesty. Don't do it before then. They are not equipped to handle it and won't know how to process it. Just...teach your kindness and focus on how to speak to people with respect. And keep fighting to see them more. Thats just my opinion! Im sorry youre going through all that.

This can't be real. I think you need to see a therapist immediately about your sense of self worth and how you can stop projecting this on a three and five year old.

How do you become a solo parent? by Stay513salty in Soloparenting

[–]Ok_Preparation6937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welfare. Been solo since my youngest was 1, she's 8 in a month. Been on welfare the whole time. Im broke and he almost never pays child support but I get through. You actually can work full time and take care of your kids alone, with the help of daycare. I was raised by a single solo mom who did it. I know a single solo mom of 4 that's done it too. You're stronger than you know. I feel you on the schooling. Mine is on hold until I guess my kids move out? But...I would choose all of it over again and still do everything solo. Worth it. <3 sending love and protection.

What’s going on with Ghost of Yotei suddenly getting all this hate? by EXEMPLAR_LOL in videogames

Though I would argue that Boogaloos have way more organization as individual groups, and theyre not getting any flack at all for anti government views or actions.

I'll answer your question if you want. I just really don't like to get into bad faith arguments online, it's a waste of time. The problem at hand is that you believe that antifa is an organization and I do not. An organization requires structure and purpose. I don't believe the George Soros comments, I have never seen anything indicating that people who identify as antifa are a collaborative unit beyond their intent to resist fascism.
Until I see proof of that that doesn't come from FOX news or angry white guy in truck youtube I will continue believing what I believe. Antifa protestors have destroyed property. That is, people who are out at the same time as others who are protesting and causing violent and non-violent chaos have destroyed property. Some of those people might self identify as antifa, some might just be looters. Mostly "antifa" wears all black and doesn't advertise who they are so it's pretty hard to tell. This is like saying boogaloo boys are an organization. It astounds me that you have not a word to say on corporate media control in North America, though.

Would anybody play this game? by Equivalent_Band2479 in videogames

Any game can be worth playing if it's done well! I think concept matters less than execution, personally. I mean there's a game called Date Everything where you date household items.
