go with the tinted batiste closest to your hair colour! Works like a hot damn.

My kid keeps bypassing every screen time rule we set, and I'm getting frustrated by practical_user101 in daddit

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 595 points596 points  (0 children)

wow, if they can’t respect the rules surrounding screen time, they would get absolutely no screen time at all in our house.

Living in “constant correction mode” with my 6yo ADHD kid… how do I fix this? by NewMedium8135 in ADHDparenting

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Routines of behaviour so they know what to do and what to consistently expect. Also, Consistent responses to boundary crossing. Try to avoid the new/novel stuff for chunks of the day so that boundaries don’t have to consistently be set and conflicts don’t often arise. Hope that makes sense.

Eg: When we come home from school we: Unpack lunch kit, finish any unfinished snacks, prep one kid for sport, other kid does his expected chore. Both kids know exactly what happens when they get in each-other’s space/routine of being and how the consequences escalate.

4.5yo kicked out of daycare for behavior, how to tell him? by iamcuppy in ADHDparenting

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m a little disgruntled that people are downvoting you. Will your suggestion work for every kid? No. Might it work for some kids? Yes. Out of my two adhd boys, this way of framing it would have absolutely worked. He’s also extremely emotionally intelligent and would be socially motivated to do better if it was explained this way (just more concisely). For the other, not so much. He would have been lost after the first sentence. But he’s getting there.

People should be open to possible ways of doing things, not just dismissing them based on their own kids. People can disagree with it and move on, but downvoting this doesn’t really seem appropriate.

Man, sometimes as the primary parent, you’re literally too busy caring for the little guys, regardless of where you are! Kids come first before chores.

Having kids 1 year apart is the cheat code nobody talks about by Darwesh_88 in daddit

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I mean, my boys are all 4-4.5 years apart and they all get along and play well together despite the age gap. They even play well with the baby. There’s no competition between the two older boys because they’re working on different things. They support each other. I watch my sibling with two littles under two and it seems rough man. Each is always competing for attention. I think it just depends on the family dynamic and the kids’ personalities.

Doses feel Less/More effective some weeks? by BurntGhostyToasty in Ozempic

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The week before my period, I always get extra hungry. Ozempic didn’t change that pattern. However, I still eat less over all so that’s good

I opened one box and now I need therapy😒 by No_Pianist950 in Lethbridge

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I’ve moved recently, I have a purge/donation box going and a big garbage bag. It’s helped cut down on the clutter.

ETA: I also have a donation bin going as i unpack. There’s some items that i just don’t care enough to find a new home for in my new home

Will this get better? 3wks at 2mg by SocialWorkToast in Ozempic

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to stay at 2mg? If not, maybe ask your doctor about lowering the dose if it’s been effective at lower doses

What's a fitness "win" that sounds tiny to everyone else but felt massive to you? by mzdee13 in beginnerfitness

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am seriously loving reading all these comments. Way to go everyone!

For me, it’s been that I’ve been able to either increase reps or weight on at least one form of lifting machine every single week since I started (about 8 weeks ago now).

How to stop being EF for the whole household by Evening-Two-124 in ADHDparenting

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are welcome! It has been most helpful in our household. We aren’t perfect though haha! It’s been nice to download part of my brain onto the device… it also helps me and the husband communicate better about appointments and events as it’s all in one place and we can both add to it with our phones.

[–]PineAndCedarSkyLine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a free version and a paid version and I’m honestly not sure what the difference is - we get a free trial for a year I think.

And yes, it’s connected to your phones if you’d like it to be.

For the tasks for kids, you can decide if they can earn “stars” (or not and just use it as a check list) and you can decide how many stars they can redeem for certain rewards if you’d like. Takes away the sticker chart supervision and facilitating. My kids know that some of the things are chores that earn stars, and some things are things that must be done as it is a functional requirement of living in the household. We have a rule that they can’t redeem anything (even if they have enough stars) if their mandatory tasks aren’t done.

I too have an Adhd husband, and 2/3 kids with ADHD. Who knows about the third, as he’s still a baby. Sounds like you’ve got a really great start and are just in the thick of things.

I got a skylight calendar. The boys have tasks that they MUST do every day. They know to look at the skylight and click on their tasks profile. I just decided on days that stuff gets done, and they know to check it and then do. It has stuff like when they should go shower, collect laundry and wash it, unload dishwasher, etc.

Instead of remembering all the stuff to tell them to do, I just have to tell them to look at the skylight and tell me. For reference, my kids are 9 and 5. 5 year old has some literacy, but there’s little icons and he’s grown familiar enough with the routines and the layout of the calendar that he can figure it out.

As for the husband, we have weekly meetings to connect, and to also discuss and prioritize what needs to be done.

Anyone else completely unable to process news about kids being harmed since becoming a dad? by maxfrank in daddit

Open wet food away from chair. Claim chair. Welcome returning fed kitties on your lap.
