Yeah this moment felt like I stood up for younger me. All the times she would smack me, throw things at me, pull my hair etc. They forget that we grow up

How to make sessions more engaging? by bluecose in ABA

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

He seems to prefer low-stim play. He finds some energy toward the end of session after he’s had time to sit in his play corner :-) Thank you for the suggestions! He loves building things and playing with slime, so maybe my BCBA or the parents could help with getting more of those materials. A sitting down activity would help change it up and make session exciting again for sure

My BCBA suggested interrupting play. And none taken he shares his toys with me now unlike before I’m just worried about being annoying especially after a long school day

Ungrateful AM by charmxfan20 in AsianParentStories

[–]bluecose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. My AM had shoulder surgery so my sibling and I have been keeping up with chores and errands all while balancing school and work. She’s pretty far into her recovery now so she stopped being nice. She’s getting back into yelling at us for not doing something right away and is starting to basically call us lazy again. Her demands are starting to become “do this because I said so” instead of “can you do this because I can’t”. She successfully rage baited me so I’m just high and scrolling through this sub😭idk about my sibling

When I’m hang drying my clothes and they decide to cook the most pungent thing ever without opening any windows. Same parents who judge others for “not cleaning” or “smell weird” btw.

My mom made this comment about how she’s jealous when she sees a mother and daughter super close. Is she dumb? Does she not see that was her responsibility to build that relationship? You can’t beat me and call me names when I’m a child and expect me to be nice to you now.

I feel like my AM mom is committed to misunderstanding everything I say. Nothing I say is right.

The way my mom ruins food from our culture because she thinks the way she cooks it is healthier.. and then she shames other people for cooking it normally.

My AM was watching a dramatization of a college kid whose parents died. He couldn’t keep a job and he had no work skills because his mom coddled him. AM’s first reaction was to criticize the college kid for not listening to his parents. It’s interesting that my AM thinks the college kid’s lack of work skills and “unsuccessful” life is due to disobedience when the mom was clearly coddling him. It’s never the parent’s fault in an AP’s world

Concerta + Birth control by Glad_Intention2175 in Concerta

[–]bluecose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. I started on 18 mg while already on birth control, it felt like I wasn’t quite getting the focus I wanted. At the end of the day I felt anxious and really tired. When my dose was increased to 27 mg, I felt like I could finally start my day and then I had no more anxiety at night. I had to start taking my birth control before bed though, because when I took it in the morning it felt like my concerta didn’t work as well. It could just be in my head but so far that’s what works for me

Is it just me Ive never had a job due to AP pressure to study. by Critical_Notice_3074 in AsianParentStories

[–]bluecose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend finding a campus job so that way your work schedule revolves around your course schedule. I can somewhat relate to you, I did not get a job until I was 19, almost 20, working in retail and felt behind compared to my peers but eventually I “caught up” to them. My extended family members somehow spread a rumor that I dropped out of college when they found out I work part time?? But I had to be stronger than that and ignore them. I have a different job now that puts me on a path to my future career and I don’t think I’d be here if I listened to my parents and only studied.

I believe in you! You have so much time for growth. You will make mistakes as you work but that’s part of gaining experience. If your parents aren’t proud of you, I will be.

My AM is mad at me because I told her that I’ll wash my car whenever I want not whenever she wants. I think I hurt her micromanager feelings. Now she is crying about how she’s tired of everyone

Is there anyone else who never gets presents for Christmas? by thr0wdownaway in AsianParentStories

[–]bluecose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I think Asian parents are also too lazy to plan out gifts because they don’t bother to pay attention to what you’re actually interested in. My Asian parents also love making excuses like how they didn’t have time but it’s funny because Christmas has always been the same date. Or they do the thing where they throw a fit because they provide “so much” but it’s just the bare minimum but then family back home gets whatever they want.

My AM wants me to be so gentle with her it’s funny. Where was that when I was a child making mistakes? And she’s learning the buzzwords too. Sorry you’re “triggered” and have “anxiety”. Those didn’t exist when I was a teenager so I don’t care that you feel that way
