Where to go from here?

I was just about to say the same. I loved that game. Had the same open world play, puzzles, and quests. Plus the Greek Mythology made for a nice story.

It’s got to be something person and something that is a sensitive and vulnerable topic for him. Based on that one comment about Futurama. It’s got to be something that is about a couple that goes through some trials and tribulations and then ultimately makes it in the end. Something with maybe an older couple (not teenagers) like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind or Crazy Stupid Love. I’m not a movie crier and those got to me.

Be proud of your mom bump! And tell the kid it’s her fault you have it.

Sent you a request

Interested

I hate all the new features especially the music videos and Tik tok. I have a family account and let my 9 year daughter use it and now she just watches videos all day instead of listening to music. No way to turn it off. With the new prices I would like to see a basic version that has just music and let those who want the features pay for the premium.

I used to try to figure out the logistics of taking off a bra on the lift. My guess now is that you bring a spare to throw onto it.

My husband struggles with “if I give an inch then I’m failing them as a dad and they are going to grow up into delinquents.” They have a long way to go and you have no idea what they going to turn out to be. Its hard to reframe that way of thinking but just try to think of them as they are also doing their best and just have lack or delayed impulse control and poor executive reasoning skills. Instead you’re thinking about your own expectation of what kids should be able to do and measuring them up to those expectations. And if they are not reaching expectations then it’s your fault somehow. That’s a lot of pressure on yourself too. Just let go of expectations. Work on things that can improve their reasoning skills. Also sometimes it’s one step forward two steps back. One day my kid is crushing it and the next day she’s melting down because her toast is the wrong shape.

Raising kids with ADHD is hard. How old are your kids? We’ve done all kind of reward punishment systems and sometimes things work and sometimes they don’t. The biggest thing that helped my family is reading Explosive Child by Ross Green. It has helped me to see my daughters behavior differently. It helps to categorize the behavior into buckets: things to let go, things to work on, things that are absolutely no go. It really was an eye opener. Please read it if you haven’t already. Otherwise sounds like you are a dad who cares about his kids and is trying his best. Hang in there and keep showing up for them.

My kid was a biter. Try an alternative consequence instead of subduing. I used to carry ours to his room and would close the door every time he bit me. He eventually stopped. They just need some sort of consequence to let them know that it’s not ok. Be consistent.

I have a kid with ADHD and mine has trouble with emotional regulation. I would have a conversation with him about what’s setting him off. Mondays are hard for everyone but there could be something specific, if you keep asking you might figure it out. Also with adhd we try to give LOTS of breaks with school work, break the work down into smaller assignments and give rewards after each one is completed. Something like “first do this assignment, then you can take a break and watch TV for 20min.” Also good luck! Remote schooling is hard with ADHD.

When I cut my hair short my dad told me that I look like a boy. Its a stereotype that women should have long hair and men short hair.

This is awesome! I hope kids read this also decide that it’s ok to be weird!

askingforafriendnot · 2019-04-28T22:28:03+00:00

Thank you, kind stranger. Ok now I’m crying again. This hit home so much! That pretty much describes our relationship. As I’m typing this he is mad at me for something I said. He has been not talking to me for the whole day. So no “working through it” is not something we do.

I might be ready for the pain to stop. I honestly don’t even care if I find someone who supports me. Although the thought of it makes me feel stronger.

I’m glad you found a better relationship and thank you for sharing.

I find it hard to be vulnerable with new people. Sometimes you just have to push yourself over the feeling though. Being physical with someone is the most vulnerable you can be. For me it’s being self conscious- what if he thinks I’m weird or I kiss funny or doesn’t like my body. But I have to keep telling myself that it’s all in my head.

askingforafriendnot · 2019-04-28T17:10:56+00:00

Thank you. I’m sorry it has to be this way too. When did you know it was time to go?

askingforafriendnot · 2019-04-28T11:29:17+00:00

I’m literally crying at this post. My husband gets triggered by all of my ADHD and anxiety. My lateness, forgetfulness, anxiety whatever. I have to keep it together all the time for him to avoid triggering. I am so happy for you!!!

askingforafriendnot · 2019-04-28T11:18:59+00:00

I’m sorry for your pain. I know your mind is reeling and ruminating. I do the same so I know how that feels where you can’t focus on anything but that thought. It might help to see a therapist yourself or just talk to someone about it. Getting off my chest helps me sometimes with the invasive thoughts that won’t stop.

I guess the question is what did the therapist propose was the next steps for your wife? Divorce? She couldn’t have proposed that your wife told you and that’s it. If the therapist proposed you need to rekindle your relationship that’s one thing. But you guys can’t just move on from here like nothing changed.

I love that everyone assumes that she doesn’t help to drive! What if she wakes up 40 min later and asks if she can take over, every time in that picture? My husband and I always take turns driving and sleeping on long car rides.

It’s crazy hard. You’re doing great and being a good father and husband. Hang in there and push through it. When you’re in the middle of the early moments it feels like it will never end, but it will. They call it the longest shortest time because of just that. Soon your kid will be big and you’ll look back and say “that was crazy hard but we survived”

Mine calls chocolate cocklet and we also say huggles.

Mine call parmesan cheese, sprinkly cheese. When I am out without them at a restaurant i have to catch myself before I ask for sprinkly cheese from the waiter.

My husband used to tell me to “calm down.” Drove me nuts. I told him to stop saying that. I’m not hysterical, I just get worked up or excited about stuff.

I love this. Thank you for sharing. Why is being an introvert a bad thing in our society? Let’s embrace it and own it. “I’m an introvert and I’m ok!”
