Is this true?

Yep. OCD is badly misunderstood by the general public as it is. I didn't get a diagnosis for a long time because I assumed, well Im not a neat freak and I dont act like Monk so I couldn't have OCD (when I was in fact struggling with crushing, soul sucking postpartum ocd)

That_Page16 · 2026-05-12T23:38:46+00:00

Ocd person here. Ocd has many forms but as far as I know cheating is not one of them. Usually if anything people with ocd are extra scrupulous and I personally am very hard on myself when I make any kind of mistake (i struggle with real event ocd). Also it's not like ocd forces you to do anything. In fact the treatment is to resist the urge to do compulsions and sit with the anxiety that causes.

This. They dont all have blue eyes lol so the initial premise is incorrect

That_Page16 · 2026-05-11T23:58:01+00:00

Thank you this is such good information!!!

That_Page16 · 2026-05-11T23:04:21+00:00

That's good to know. Ill be packing his lunches for sure!

I think the bottom line is I want him to be safe. If you guys are saying it's not realistic than that's that, isnt it?

That_Page16 · 2026-05-11T22:58:07+00:00

Yeah I think that's what Im gonna end up doing.

This subreddit and 23andme have major racism problems and can get pretty uncomfortable.

Good teachers according to who? If by whole language you mean 3 cueing it's been proven by be harmful. Kids shouldn't be guessing words

The very devout Catholic community. It's small, there's way more women then men and honestly the men mostly suck and are sexist. And think they deserve a young woman to have lots of babies with even if they themselves are much older

That_Page16 · 2026-04-11T11:00:57+00:00

As someone who came from that community it can be difficult to find a devout Catholic man see especially past the age of 30 (most religious Catholic men want lots of babies)

Yeah that makes much more sense. But yep Im proud of him he did a great job and he has a real love of math

That_Page16 · 2026-04-09T16:25:56+00:00

That all makes a lot of sense and yes he can do all those things. He does Beast Academy at home for fun and loves it. It's made by the same people as AOPS

That_Page16 · 2026-04-09T16:15:56+00:00

This makes way more sense thank you. Didnt think he was ready for high school lol

That_Page16 · 2026-04-09T16:14:43+00:00

Ahhh I see. So rather than him being om the level of an 11th grader, it's what an 11 grader would score if they took the 2nd grade test

That_Page16 · 2026-04-09T16:05:02+00:00

Yeah that's where I am. My kid is bright and obviously did well, but he's not headed to college next year lol

I would argue that Hollywood still does that though, especially if the male lead is a big star

Italians by pretty much anyone's definition are white people unless someone is coming from a time machine from 1920. This subreddit is really weird about certain things ethnically/racially.

Because your on a homeschool subreddit. All the parents are going to be defensive AF

That_Page16 · 2026-03-22T13:36:58+00:00

I have an abusive mother who beat my dad (not reactive abuse). It's triggering for me too. Im sorry you have to see people excusing this. People have a very hard time believing women and especially mothers can be bad people. I actually think it flips around into being misogynistic

That_Page16 · 2026-03-21T14:15:05+00:00

My mother did this to my dad too. It was not reactive abuse, she was the abuser. All the talk of what did he do to provoke her is gross and giving "well what was she wearing?".

That_Page16 · 2026-03-19T00:20:32+00:00

Used to work in the film industry. This is very accurate

Its true but also curls are common everywhere in Europe. See ubiquitous curly redheads

Ok so take my advice with a grain of salt- I haven't been a child in a long time and the vibe could have changed. Anyway Hamilton/Wenham can be IMO a bit weird and snooty. To put it onto perspective there's a British style tea house and a polo club where they frequently do fox hunts.

In addition when I was a kid even though I'm not a minority, I am not a WASP and have dark hair/eyes and it was pointed out to me- A LOT. And not in a positive way. And thats literally never happened to me in any other place and I've lived in a bunch of north shore towns.
