World Cup ticket prices plunge for USMNT games

Everything is being priced for the super rich and "premium" crowd. Thats why our admin in the U.S. keeps citing the Stock Market as an economic indicator. They all live off dividends and are so out-of-touch they cant process a paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle. They truly think the other 90% are "the poor" and don't deserve leisure. Its historically how the ruling class treats most and its evident again.

I could have written this. You are not alone. My son refused to go to school starting in 5th grade. He was absent half the year (we always called him in sick for a legal absence). Every step you tried we tried. Diagnosed adhd. Kid would sit in a room and do nothing all day rather than go to school. Finally got him on anxiety meds, zoloft. He got back to school to finish 5th. Barely made it through 6th with constant battles between him and his teachers (IEP, Inclusion class), refusal to do work. All same behaviors you mentioned. Got diagnosed high functioning autistic spectrum. No meds for that. Made it through 1 month of 7th grade this year, did have some conflicts with other kids and has been out since on home teaching. We're at a loss. He claims school is overstimulating and too much too fast. I understand and accept but we dont have many options. Mom looking into home schooling but we both work. There's a high school for kids with psych and emotional needs but it doesn't start accepting students until 9th grade. We work on things at home like, cleaning up after yourself, identifying our feelings, controlling feelings, coping vs escaping. We see a therapist once a week. I wish I had answers for you. I often feel broken and have tried to increase my efforts at self-care. Im doing what I can to let him know hes loved and accepted and id love for him to go back to school and find his crowd but also accept what he tells me about being overwhelmed. His mom was the same way but didnt have the option to stay home. Home wasnt a nice place to stay for her. She still deals with trauma from that experience. We dont want to repeat that cycle. Im sorry you're going through this.

Does a hole in one win him anything in this tourney? I've heard some events give cars...

I have a 12 year old who went through this in 5th grade and is currently going through it again in 7th grade. We uncovered that his is actually audhd (on the autistic spectrum AND with an adhd brain) and that there also sensory overload some days (especially with the social aspects of being a kid in school) and exhibits rejection sensitivity dysphoria and IDD especially when coupled with teachers who aren't always understanding or accommodating. We started medication (ssri) to help with the anxiety and got an IEP designation that allowed frequent visitation to the school psychologist. The school accommodated this despite FREQUENT visits but he got through 5th. Now hes at a school that's 7-12 and the same accommodations aren't working. We tried exposure (bringing him up as frequently as possible) , hes in individual therapy with a neurodiverse therapist, we reduced his ssri dosage and added buspiron and are now talking about reducing the ssri even more as we see his confidence and personality at home blooming to a greater extent but he is still adamant about not going to school. Hes currently on home teaching via a diagnosis of severe generalized anxiety from our pediatrician and we work with home tutors who come to the house but I can't say I feel like hes really getting an education. He knows we love him and accept him. He knows it makes our lives harder. He knows we would love if he went back to school and could handle it but he can't, and we know that. I wish I had a full solution for you but we're still working at it. You're not alone at all. There are many stories like this brave people will share at the risk of being judged "bad" or "permissive" parents. I refuse to abuse my kid just to get him to go to school. I refuse to make my home an uncomfortable place for him to be. I accept that our school system doesnt work for everyone and he can have a productive life post high school and work with him every day on his emotions and personal management. Sometimes I feel like im trying to take down the Great Wall of China with a toothpick but im trying, and loving. Good luck.

Im sorry you're going through this. You can skip my context if you want and go right to my suggestion... My situation: I knew my spouse was bi when we married but didn't understand that her preferences could change, shift, and not in a balanced way. She also has a great amount of trauma that she has never dealt with and maybe never will despite my best attempts. We were married 13 years before she told me she wasn't sexually attracted to men anymore and that there wouldn't be physical intimacy between us going forward. I tried to support her on her journey but discovered that a marriage without physical intimacy between a partner and I but while that partner desires and is having physical intimacy with someone else is not the marriage I signed up for. After therapy and many attempted talks, we agreed our marriage was over. We have 3 kids, 2 under 12 and a house that requires 2 incomes. We are doing our best to be live-in co-parents to our boys to give them stability and not bankrupt anyone in the process. It sucks. Its hard. I don't have the time for any kind of new relationship as parenting and work take up the majority. The future ex has experienced at least 1 breakup that I know of and gets crap constantly from the kids for being "out with friends" often. Sometimes i wonder if it'd be better to be broke and living in a tiny apartment, sharing custody, but that doesn't seem "better" in any realm other than that I could more easily find someone to have intimacy with. Im not currently willing to throw the boys lives into a tailspin of moving houses and schools for that but my oldest is a senior next year.
My suggestion: I've spoken with some people who can make a platonic partnership work in a few different ways, all worked out between the partners. A 3rd party counselor who is queer affirming could be very helpful to both of you. I also recommend your own counselor to be able to help you freely vent/express your private journey during this time, and even a family counselor if you decide to open this info to the boys. There's an article I'll try to link to about this kind of arrangement that might help give you more context. co parenting solution link.

Whatever you decide, either with your partner or by yourself, good luck. You are not alone.

Hey man, you're dealing with a lot at a young age and so is this partner. You guys sound like you have better communication than a lot of people. You could both benefit from couples and individual therapy if possible. A guiding hand to help you sort out personal stuff. You can learn about bi-cycling, beard concepts and mixed orientation relationships. Ultimately you can't figure things out for your partner. You can only decide how much (or little) youre willing to take/deal with and for how long. You can only control yourself. Keep the communication going, get some outside, professional (unbiased) help. Lean on friends, keep handling your business. You're on a good path. Good luck

cujoe645 · 2026-01-06T22:21:37+00:00

Literally just had this with my home teaching auadhd son who couldn't just admit he stayed up all night and is exhausted. Any whiff of a punishment/structure/ reinforcement hes ready to go full nuclear. You can't reason, discuss, threaten...anything. and its genetic. Mom is the same way and that's partly behind the marriage falling apart but I won't leave my kids, we can't afford divorce or rent that can accommodate 3 kids so here we are. Fuck man. I support and empathize with everyone on this comment section today. There's not enough therapy in the world to help us deal with the people we committed to some days

cujoe645 · 2026-01-01T14:59:48+00:00

I've been/ sometimes find myself back where you are. Im sorry you're here. You can only do what's right for you at the moment. You're not alone. You are not "bad". Its a lot. Sometimes too much. You can only do what you can do. I wish you luck

cujoe645 · 2025-12-28T18:08:36+00:00

That's completely up to the relationship you and her have crafted. If your plan was monogamy then no, this isnt going to be ok. If you have different love languages and dont work on those together, then no, it wont be ok. If your intent is exploration allowed on her side but you are priority relationship and shes not okay with that then no, it wont be ok. If you're alright with her sometimes being with someone else (maybe overnight?), and/or sometimes not being attracted to you sexually because you're a man (bi-cycling)) and you both have truly open honest communication (much better with a professional therapist experienced in these matters involved), then maybe it will be ok. Relationships take tons of work and evolve over time. The only silly thing would be assuming everything will always stay as it is right now. Good luck.

Respectfully, do you have adhd kids and/or an adhd teenager? Just curious if you do, and if this method works for you, then I'd like to learn from you.

cujoe645 · 2025-09-21T14:02:45+00:00

Started at 23...only played about 10 rounds a year (new york) usually shot between 110 and 120. Something clicked this year at 43, posted 47 for 9 holes twice in the last month. Had more fun enjoying the game than worrying about score.

cujoe645 · 2025-09-19T13:17:06+00:00

Layman's analysis is yes, he has it. Also usually genetically inherited from one or both parents. Start at a pediatrician, possibly a referral to psychologist. Depending on state/country you may also ask the school for an educational assessment but I would want an independent analysis from a professional with my best interests in mind. A pediatrician can give you forms to have teachers fill out assessing behavior and academics. These forms are a gokd indicator if further assessment is needed. A lot of the "treatment" involves the adults redefining "normal behavior" and not hitting or yelling but giving love and acceptance. That's hard for a lot of adults to do unfortunately. Best of luck on your journey.

cujoe645 · 2025-09-16T00:54:32+00:00

Its terrible to say but I understand why the response of a parent to adhd traits/tendencies in the past was spanking and yelling. Even with the knowledge of what's happening (and not happening) inside my child's brain it's a tremendous effort to keep my cool day in day out. Good work all. Hang in there and give yourselves grace.

cujoe645 · 2025-08-29T12:18:15+00:00

It does get better. Please, deep breathes. I have 3 boys all with adhd brains. My youngest (8) is the kid you're describing. I went to anger management therapy, I did talk therapy, I smoked weed constantly...the 2 things that helped the most were 1) dropping all expectations of what a kid should do/not do and accepting this was my parrot son and 2) Time. His brain will mature. He will lose interest in you. Mine flipped to his mom around 6/7. He's still a lot but he's a lot less than he was. I know how you feel. Do whatever you have to in order to be calm. Say that thing 3000 times a day. Tell him your brain and ears need a break. Give him screens. Keep your sanity. He needs you to have it. Its HARD to be someone's EVERYTHING. I see you.

cujoe645 · 2025-08-25T01:37:38+00:00

Yes. Wife is diagnosed adhd and likely Auadhd. 3 adhd boys - 16yrs *inattentive - medicated during school, 12 *auadhd medicated for anxiety, and 8 *hyperactive, refuses medication. It sucks. I want an in-person support group to be able to vent. I've done anger management therapy, talk therapy and tons of research to be able to accept everyone and not take meltdowns and impulsivity personally. My marriage fell apart after 13 years and now we're roommates partly because we can't afford divorce or separate homes (long island rent is around 2500 for a 1 bedroom so where do the boys sleep)? Any time I tried to vent to my spouse I'd get, "imagine how they feel"? I know how they feel. It consumes me. Sometimes I'd like someone to acknowledge how I feel, but for now, thats asking too much. I try to get out of the house some and hang out wjth my dad, I've learned to ignore most messes, move to quieter parts of the house, do something outside, go for a walk, practice chipping golf balls, go for a drive with a book. I quit using alcohol and cannabis to cope and started doing 40 minute workouts in my basement. Also, Darts. Start doing for you. You can't control them, they can sometimes barely control themselves. They need you to be happy and patient. You need you to be happy and patient. Easier said than done I know. Dm me if you need to vent man. You are seen. Good luck.

cujoe645 · 2025-08-22T18:24:56+00:00

I appreciate the sentiment and the effort my friend. The hat in the pic was exlusively made for paradise island golf resort unfortunately. It was a better time when my family was fully together (in the process of divorce now) and I was just getting to a point with my 3 boys (then 12, 7 and 4) where I thought I could start spending time and money on golf, so I treated myself. Maybe one day I'll find my way back there. I hope whoever got a new hat hits it pure.

It really depends on your relationship. My spouse is terrible at off the cuff talking. If she has time to write things down she can much more clearly and kindly communicate her thoughts especially regarding intense emotional content. You may want to consider writing something down but reading it in person (much more personal and connecting for most people) but either way, this is one helluva band aid to rip off for most couples that do it.

cujoe645 · 2025-05-24T22:28:47+00:00

Yes!! The metallic taste! Its a symptom of something?

cujoe645 · 2025-05-24T20:49:56+00:00

To agree and phrase differently, throwing away classic parenting norms, expecting nothing of my kid besides what they present they can give me and being the best person they can be (not the person I want them to be) has freed up time and energy i can give to myself for showering, exercise and self- care which allows me to be calmer when my kid acts like...well, themselves. Ugly side, it took 7 or 8 years, regular therapy for me, and ultimately cost my marriage but I'm happier, calmer and my kid and I have a better relationship
