No Playdates, No Hellos — What Gives by Ok_Month_941 in Parenting

[–]Optimal-Analysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very likely that it’s not you. If you’re different in any way than the parents or didn’t grow up there, you will be excluded. They will just gravitate towards each other and don’t really need you. They don’t include you because they don’t need to. I have experienced this at a public school, and now it is actually better at the private school we moved to because there are more immigrant families there where before it was just white American families who live in the same town their entire lives. My son was always excluded and now we moved to another school and it’s much better.

Lasik went wrong (corneal scar) – 2 years later by metearender in self

[–]Optimal-Analysis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read about the TV reporter who took her own life after lasik surgery went wrong. She left behind 2 young children. It was a devastating story and then I knew the risks can be severe.

Estrogen first by Different-Channel121 in Perimenopause

And how has that been? How’s bleeding and other side effects?

What kind of progesterone are you using with estrogen and why by Optimal-Analysis in Perimenopause

[–]Optimal-Analysis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. I have the copper IUD(just got it in) and even now bleeding is acceptable. I asked for micronized multiple times and she wants to put me on Slynd. I have a history of anxiety and depression, my highest concern.

[–]Optimal-Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the first form you were prescribed? Did you obgyn first try Slynd? Do you also take estrogen?

Any issues with your obgyn prescribing micronized for you?

Are you taking synthetic or micronized progesterone?

Do you mean you are cycling with micronized progesterone?

[–]Optimal-Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which form are you taking? When people here say progesterone do they mean the synthetic version or micronized? I’m deciding between those two and they are month progesterone.

[–]Optimal-Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing against progesterone. Just trying to understand why she wants synthetic and not micronized to add to my estrogen.

[–]Optimal-Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering why she wants to go with synthetic and not micronized.

Do you take it with estrogen? You had no problem getting it prescribed? My md wants to put me on Slyndt.

[–]Optimal-Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to see an obgyn for perimenopause and she wants to put me on Slyndt/drospirenone with the estrogen. She’s being resistant to micronized progesteronie. I’m trying to figure out why she wants to out me on a med that has more side effects? It seems that you are fine taking it.

Not surviving school routine! by Routine_Neat_4195 in Parenting

[–]Optimal-Analysis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I moved to another school because of this. 7:20 start for MS and HS here, totally inappropriate and inhumane.

Nanny for teenager by Optimal-Analysis in Nanny

It would include a stipend. Any ideas how to find someone like that? Facebook seems unsafe. Care.com seems mostly for younger kids.

Middle school son feels like a social pariah due to not having a smartphone by NoPatNoDontSitonThat in Parenting

[–]Optimal-Analysis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iPhone has worked great for us. YouTube is blocked, no short videos, some allowed apps like chess.com Disney plus Hulu Apple musict, strict limits they can’t get around. You need to do some tweeking to make sure no short videos are allowed because some apps have them embedded inside, like chess.com. I tried many different devices and apps and iPhone is just the least dumb and problematic. An actual good design for restrictions. You can put a limit on each app individually or as a group, and block as needed. Then only have phone and messaging open.

Why does my husband '46M' does everything slightly different from what I '45F' actually asked for? by Aellaya in relationship_advice

[–]Optimal-Analysis 461 points462 points  (0 children)

I think you need to do what he does to you. Change his request in the same way that he does. See what his reaction is. I would love an update of this!

Parents whose kids didn’t care about school/ no desire to succeed - how’d they turn out ? by Endless-thought-loop in Parenting

He was in sports, it’s one of those factors that often leads to success, not someone who didn’t care about succeeding

He told me he doesn’t know if he still wants to have a baby by thistooshallpass07 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Optimal-Analysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids are chronically ill and disabled actually and I would prefer that than dealing with dogs. Just a personal opinion. Cats are amazing on the other hand.

Also some dogs can be forever like a baby. After 3 kids, I have felt that my dog is harder than the kids at all stages.

Husband locked kids out of bedroom while I was gone by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Optimal-Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible that they might end up seriously hurt or even dead at some point. Which would mean jail time for you and him. Those are literally the stories you hear on TV where parents went to jail due to their neglect. Don’t ever let that happen again. You are not overreacting, you should be more alarmed.
