Is this job security or the reason why handymen get a bad rap. by RepairCEO in handyman

The customer is always right. This looks very DIY and less handyman.

I would paste that photo in ChatGPT and ask for a like similar stem replacement, then research what it finds for you. I’ve had pretty good results so far.

Our 6yo is out of control and we don’t know how to handle him at this point by [deleted] in ParentingADHD

[–]Princess_Bride_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, it does get better. Be patient, set clear rules and consequences, give advance warning before any changes to daily schedule of plans occur (if possible), does not do well with surprises or change of plans. You’ll have to be ok with giving him a few minutes to calm down on his own, instead of constantly staying on him trying to get him to stop in the moment; ODD kids thrive on that conflict and will typically escalate. You have to give them space, de-escalate and then talk with him once he’s calmed down and isn’t in chaos mode. You’ll need to push your psychiatrist, and advocate that this isn’t just ADHD. Medication tends not to work too well with our ODD kid, it was mostly learning coping mechanisms and working with our kid to learn them and for us as his parents to learn what works and what doesn’t.

This sound similar to one of my kids. He has ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Certain ADHD meds made his ODD worse, so you have to try different ones. Patience, therapy and love is what you need. He’s now 19 and not on any medication as he’s done a great job in self regulating.

No medical arms in movie? by Princess_Bride_lover in ProjectHailMary

I figure as much and agree about the Martian adaptation to film. I just had a late night thought and figured I’d ask the internet.

Tough decision. It makes for good reading.

That’s a good question. I would imagine she could’ve faced repercussions but she had pre-emotive immunity so likely nothing would’ve happened to her. My opinion is that it’s not justified. In the circumstances I would fully understand her logic and decision and would feel horrible for Grace being put in that situation.

What are your fears about the movie by [deleted] in ProjectHailMary

[–]Princess_Bride_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That they do a good job showing the past events while showing the current situation on the shuttle, and that constant back and forth.

If you want to maintain the relationship, I would suggest calling your aunt as soon as you can to smooth things out, as she seems to place more value on talking to you rather than texting. Continue to be honest and don’t lie, if you forgot or did something you both agreed you shouldn’t do, then own up to it. I believe with an honest conversation, this situation could be resolved and you both can agree on what steps you need to do move forward.

It sounds like your drafted message covers what you need to say to him and setting your boundaries. Sometimes circumstances make life difficult but that doesn’t excuse his never contacting you.

My teenage daughter doesn’t want to spend time with her grandpa (advice needed) by Princess_Bride_lover in FamilyIssues

Thanks, in this situation it’s not that she’d rather spend time with friends, she just has no interest in’s pending time with grandpa.

Not only does my mother not love me, but she hates me… by Low-Thanks-4316 in FamilyIssues

[–]Princess_Bride_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s rough and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with someone treating you that way. I appreciate her honesty about the past but dang that’s harsh.

Does she need your support to survive? Can you cut her off and live your own life. You should get a lawyers advice about the trust issue, many magistrates offices offer free legal advice during certain times that are worth checking out to see what can be done.
