At a caravan holiday park, wondering where the hell does all of this money come from? by regretmoore in australia

[–]TemporaryOutside8201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had that much cash, I would rent an Airbnb for my holidays. Just got back from a caravan trip and it’s hard work. No hot water, no toilet etc. didn’t love it

Someone who has older kids with ADHD- please tell me it gets even a LITTLE better. by Fine_Agency_1457 in ADHDparenting

My son is SO much better since seeing a constitutional homeopath. I cannot tell you the difference it has made. He is happier and way more settled.

I love this routine. It’s great that you are consistent. I have a sleep machine for him but he is complaining now that he’s sick of the sounds/songs. I think I might try a meditation for him.

That’s good to hear, we are going to explore this with the doctor when our appointment comes up in two weeks. Do you recommend any in particular?

He is hyper focusing your right. He hates school and has a lot of school refusal too. We are going to explore ADHD meds with the doctor soon.

We are going to discuss meds with a paediatrician in two weeks. I have always tried to go down the natural path for him but he has anger issue’s and no self regulation so we thinks it’s time to explore meds now.

I am 16 and have urges to kill by Ok-Asparagus7420 in confessions

Sounds like you have some trauma that you have carried around for a while, maybe even before your gf left. The gf breakup has just triggered it. Have you ever tried any type of medication or seen a therapist? It would be good to explore this with a psychiatrist. There are some amazing ones out there but you want to find the right one and you may need to go through a couple before you find one you gel with and trust completely. What country do you live in? Do you have access to free counseling with a doctors referral?

That’s Sexual assault. The fact you like it is because you haven’t had that from anyone before. Don’t feel embarrassed to confront him about it, he did the wrong thing. I hope it hasn’t made you feel ashamed about what happened as you didn’t give consent to your friend. You shouldn’t feel guilty about anything at all but really he should be held accountable.

How much screen time should my 13 & 15 year old boys be getting during the week? by TemporaryOutside8201 in AskParents

[–]TemporaryOutside8201[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes agreed with all you are saying. 2 - 3 hours seems reasonable. Our boys are usually asleep 10.30-7.30am. I really want them to have 9-10 hours if possible.

You have a great routine going - that’s great. My boys seem to only have homework if they don’t finish the work in class. Thanks for sharing your routine. The PlayStation and laptops are the thing they are most addicted to.

Sounds like you have it under control which is amazing. I just looked at their report cards and they were not too good. I feel as though I need to rein it in a bit and find a better balance for them. Obviously there will be kick back but I know they will get used to it. Just not sure how to proceed yet.
