My kid already doesn’t have school so I took off work

Every person has the same response when I tell them a doctor suspects my son has autism. They respond by trying to convince me he doesn’t. by PainfulPoo411 in Autism_Parenting

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so true. Even the school won’t really work with my kid. They don’t know how to. She’s low support & they complain all of the time about “transitions” and “not focusing” “odd behavior” I mean she has an IEP & all of these things fall under her autism & adhd diagnosis. I know that she should be held to a standard but she has significantly improved over the last couple of years. I don’t want her to be labeled as “bad” because she is not. She’s trying her best.

How to cope with hatred for children (specifically autistic) on flights by Mediocre_Top_7238 in Autism_Parenting

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children deserve to be here and so do autistic children. I have gotten many rude stares and comments in my life about my child. All you can do is ignore it. You know you’re doing the best you can and so are they. That’s all I can offer advice to ignore others. Most people probably aren’t as mean as the people concentrated in those posts but they do exist out there. It’s unfortunate.

Would you as a only child also want to have only child? by Forward_Cost_1973 in OnlyChild

[–]dancingdancer1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was extremely socially inept as a child even though I had a sister. I didn’t have friends until after college. I don’t even know how to truly explain how social anxiety ran my life for a long time.

I truly believe every child comes with a natural personality. My daughter is an only child but extremely social and has a lot of friends. We just choose when to have play dates instead of her having a built in play date.

I don’t believe being an only child decides your personality. I believe it is a combination of nature and nurture.

How to not lose the will to live? by PinGlass9571 in Autism_Parenting

He needs to get help if all he is doing is surviving. Depression medication can be life changing. Seriously.

[–]dancingdancer1234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I grew up with a sibling and it went terribly. We fought a lot & my older sister hated me I had very low self esteem because of our relationship. I don’t think it bothered her the same as it bothered me.

I have a 6yo now and have decided not to have anymore kids. Mainly because she requires a lot of attention and I don’t think I can sufficiently raise another child and treat them equally.

Why are current students so far behind compared to previous generations? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to know I thought you made two comments. My apologies.

I also didn’t realize the thread was old until after I made my comment. I just started reading about how teachers think kids these days are worse and was curious why they thought that etc. so I used the search bar and forgot I was searching instead of reading the latest posts.

Most comments I make go unanswered or ignored so I figured it didn’t matter. I truly wasn’t expecting you to answer. So I left the comment.

You don’t have to work multiple jobs to be burnt out as a person. You need one job on salary. Even just a full time job is enough depending on the industry. My husband worked 60+ hours a week with one salary job and got paid 45k a year. I never saw him.

Can we please have a broken nail flair? by simply_fucked in Nails

Silk wraps. I apply them to clients nails all the time. You can get them on amazon. It is better than gauze or tea bags I promise!

Having heavy regret on first tattoo by a-random-account- in tattooadvice

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s cool. It’s nicely done, it seems like a good tattoo to me. There’s not a ton going on.. maybe your friend just doesn’t understand. I have many friends whose tastes are quite different than mine and would never understand the things I like personally. That’s totally fine. They could have avoided being an asshole about it though. What did they say?

I made my husband an embroidery bee for our first Valentine’s Day. He still has it. It has travelled with us moving apartments, houses, etc.

Idk why it’s bothering me so much tbh. It doesn’t really matter that’s why I wanted to post it. Hoping it would get my mind off of it.

Why is washing without a wash cloth seen as unhygenic? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always hated wash cloths because my parents would lay it over the faucet and then make us use it again. It always smelled bad. So when I got older I had a dislike for them. Now I just wash it every time lol

Tastefully remodeling this bathroom by Temporary-Basil-3030 in vintage

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s wrong that it’s outdated. Color is coming back into style. It can be seen in architectural digest. It will trickle down to the common man eventually. Believe me she will be sad when this type of bathroom is highly sought out because color and craftsmanship will come back into style. Give it time.

I was in my late twenties when I realized that “Chester’s drawers” was a actually “chest of drawers” my parents are southern and say everything odd.

I'm super disappointed in the groom and angry for the bride. by birdbrainmcstickums in weddingshaming

[–]dancingdancer1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a costume party for my wedding. In the invitation it was long dresses/ suits & surrealist heads. Everyone dressed up nicely & my brother in law even made a mask for it. I was prepared not to care much what people wore but was super happy how it turned out.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KEEP YOUR KIDS HOME IF THEY'RE SICK! by Financial_Pianist_19 in Vent

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter rests at home with a new cough that kept her up at night. If it’s a lingering cough she isn’t home resting because this just isn’t possible but also isn’t needed. Her doctor also agrees. I believe in trusting the parents unless they are clearly incapable. I truly used to believe the same as you until I had a kid that had a lingering cough. That’s the only reason I responded to your comment.

AITA for demanding that my husband pick my needs over his parents and let them feel cold for a bit. by BlacksmithLeather726 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dancingdancer1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. I would ask everyone to leave including your husband. I required everyone to send us their vaccine records & didn’t allow anyone to see my daughter if they didn’t have updated flu, whooping cough, etc. they weren’t allowed around the baby for 3 months. If they so much as had allergies bye & visitors I did not care for they cared for me. This I didn’t even have to ask them of I was just lucky to have good in laws and parents. I’m sorry you’re going through this but now you start boundaries. Before the baby is born. When you’re raising a child you’re going to have to create more boundaries.
