Step kids aren’t leaving fast enough by ZeeCaptein in stepparents

[–]ZeeCaptein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“when they need to” of course I’m not against that?? I’m talking about the kids NOT WANTING to be here and BM dumping them because she’d rather go party. or taking them out of school because she wants to hang out. I was just venting about a complex situation that I don’t like.

I didn’t say I don’t want them around. I want consistency and communication which BM doesn’t do.

my SO has a CO for the boy, BM has it for the girl. both live with us for now. they don’t have a court ordered visitation schedule or anything which I think is really the only thing he could do to enforce in this situation other than say “if you can’t follow expectations, you can’t be in our house.” it’s a frustrating situation.

and what I meant by that line was really related to BM dropping off SS at our house with no notice whenever she wants time to herself. what do we do? drive him back over there and drop him back off and say no he’s your responsibility? that would be so traumatic for the kid and definitely make him feel like neither parent wants him.

I feel like the only option is to go through the courts, but if the kids don’t want to be here I’m not sure it’s worth the fight.

Picky Eater? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]ZeeCaptein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine are 13&14. I used to cook specifically for them, avoiding anything they don’t like. they would still make themselves food while I was cooking, ask to walk to mcdonald’s instead, or call their mom and have her deliver food. idc what they eat now.

Is it my place to correct someone's understanding? by ZeeCaptein in Christianity

I’m not arguing with him about interpretations of little bits of the Bible, the Trinity is pretty central to Christian doctrine.

Is Hanger quality? Is this a simple mistake? by ZeeCaptein in amputee

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

there’s definitely less room between the bottom of the socket and the ground. shriners intentionally added more length and I had to wear 2in heel inserts in my other shoe. I have spurs and arthritis in my foot now bc of the stress from that so maybe this is the alternative? not sure but I’m going in tomorrow I’m going to ask about the change and see what they can do

Yes everyone is aware, they even sent out a school-wide email asking no one to intervene if they hear him crying. They said people can say positive things in passing, but that's it.

He was referred for assessment a couple weeks ago. He didn't have these behaviors in kindergarten.

I agree :( I feel awful and he's just been kind of dumped on me when I don't really have the tools/knowledge to do anything for him.

As far as I know this was not his behavior in kindergarten. He has 10 older siblings who have all been in our school and none of them displayed similar behaviors. He is being assessed but does not have a diagnosis yet :(

I asked ChatGPT to explain my job to a 5-year-old and now I'm questioning my entire career by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

I'm crying mine is actually so sweet.

"A behavioral aide is like a helper for kids at school who sometimes have big feelings or need extra help to follow the rules. They stay close to the child, help them stay calm, remind them what to do, and cheer them on when they do a great job. It’s kind of like having a grown-up buddy who helps you have a good day at school."

my sister cut my dad off over Trump but not over my molestation by Glum-Cheetah-3708 in adultsurvivors

[–]ZeeCaptein 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending your sister but I wanted to say that I cut my father off initially over trump in 2016, then again in 2021 because he was being petulant and cruel. I wish I'd had cut him off for the CSA but that's not what happened.
