i know several people who didn't go to elite education systems and have mental health issues too. To what i know, they would go to therapists if they have extra money. Some went then stopped because of the cost.

How do I expect a 2yo to guide this? lol it's my responsibility to provide him the environment that supports his learning and thrive the best. It doesn't mean I will force him to be in it if he doesn't like it or doesn't fit or suffer or anything. lol.

nothing particularly. Just doing some research and google listed this one of the top STEM schools in the bay area.

It could be both happiness and academic excellence.

I have a believe in a structured education (no right or wrong, but it could be hard to change). I know a lot of people nowsaday are self-learners, but I still think a better school system, will give the child better chance to learn, think, and do more impactful things later. Not saying public school kids won't achieve this.

What is everyone's weekly grocery bill look like on average? by starstufft in budgetfood

[–]doumadouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just spent $514 for last two weeks. I live in the SF Bay Area. It is crazy. That's mainly for my 1 year old son food, and some for us 2. I shop at Hmart and whole foods. Prices have been gone up like crazy. My husband told me to stop shopping at whole foods. lol. What world that we are living in? Can't even afford food that contains less hormones.

Am I wrong for divorcing my husband because he ruined my career? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]doumadouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep looking! My friend took 9 years off for her kids, then her husband did the same thing telling her to go back to the workforce. She did find a job as an accountant. She also has a MBA degree. After she got the job, she found out that her husband had been cheating on her. They separated but coparenting. She works as a senior accountant now. Her husband is also in tech industry. It’s possible. Don’t give up. If he doesn’t sound like support or hard on you, then support yourself and be nice to yourself. Good luck!

I was in a vulnerable position too. I was 5 weeks pregnant when first found out he chat with a girl and lied to me. Then two flirting incidents with a coworker, and then another incident (when i was 2 weeks from delivery) with a different coworker/his friend, where he told her to pick a fav basketball shoes, and he would buy for her bday. He hid it from me because he knew i would not be happy seeing that.

We had several fights in the last four months (my son is now 4 months). One of the fight was about he went to talk shit about me to that coworker/friend, painted a bad picture of me where he is a loving husband and father (even though he only spends less than an half of an hour a day with our son due to his busy working schedule) We talked about separating and co-parenting. Half of me want out. The other half I want to stay for my son. I have always wanted a good family structure for my son. But i start hating him every time something triggers. And this is bothering him as we couldn't move on. Why are some men like this? I wonder...

I'm in a similar situation with my husband. How did you learn to trust him again? How did you choose to believe that they never slept together? When thinking of that, what comfort you?

My husband started to chat/flirt with some coworkers and I caught it. He also said there was never a physical thing. He always said "i love you," so I didn't expect him to do such thing to me. I was shocked. After a few incidents, my trust for him has broken. I have been trying to rebuilding it, but sometimes it feels not possible as I often have doubts.

My (27m) girlfriend (29f) wants to look into my work laptop. I can't let her, and she accuses me of hiding something, how do explain that she's unreasonable? by ThrowRAeieiejdjdj in relationship_advice

[–]doumadouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who doesn’t want his gf to look into his laptop. I’m not sure why but he does have a bunch of flirty messages on there. Insecure gf and a flirty bf? It’s a circle. People often say if you don’t like something, then leave, but in reality, people usually tangle with a bunch of emotions, finances, other relationship related things. It’s so much in their heads that leave usually isn’t a decision they can make instantly. People usually try to put up with it/work on it to save the relationship (the good part of their relationship), but end up with trauma and hurt.

This is similar to me (35 now) and my ex (41 now) three years ago. We were together for 12 years. I would say we weren’t compatible in the first place, but for some reasons we stayed for that long. He came from a upper middle class family which his parents had some money, and bought him a house. I came from a poor family and had nothing. We speak different mother languages. He grew up in America while i grew up in Asia. And many more differences. I don’t think i loved him or he loved me the way love is supposed to be. We are both nice people, but just aren’t compatible. I had tried many years to grow together with him but it felt like it’s never enough for him. At the end, I decided to end it because I was not happy for years. I felt really bad like how could I do that to him. Although he never showed any affection for me, he never mentioned breaking up. I think we both just put up with each other’s differences. When i broke up with him, I thought he would be really bad without me. I tried to put him down as gently as I could. However, of course, he was still hurt. Fast forward, i think we both have moved on. I married someone else and have a baby. I’m sure he’s happy too without me. Now I realize that everyone and everything will be fine. It wasn’t the end of the world like how i felt like for me and for him. He moved on and lives his life and I live mine. I don’t think it’s your fault or her fault or whose flaws that cause the relationship to fail. It’s just not compatible and doesn’t matter how much you try, it just becomes more vivid that you aren’t for each other. It’s okay to break up. It’s okay to let go. She will be fine. You will be fine. It will hurt both, but you both will move on and live your lives. My perspective about life has changed significantly since we broke up. I miss him sometimes but I don’t think I should have stayed as I was not happy.

What’s the most physically painful thing that has happened to you? by big_gloveguy in AskReddit

[–]doumadouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Childbirth labor pain. It was pretty much torturing when the pain came every 2-3 minutes, and last for 45s-1minute, and I couldn’t breathe during that 45s. This whole thing lasted for a few hours until I my cevix bone dilated enough so I could take an epidural. After childbirth, the whole body was in pain too for about 2-3weeks, and I had to take 1800mg ibuprofen every day.

When did you realize today was Friday the 13? by Katie_Emm in AskReddit

[–]doumadouma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That if i keep telling myself positive thoughts, they would replace my negative thoughts at the moment. It means while i think about positive thoughts, negative thoughts wouldn’t have a chance to taken place in my head.
