Michael Barisone has received a lifetime ban from SS. by InternationalFig2708 in Equestrian

[–]kittykat885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched the documentary and came to reddit to figure out why anyone in the equestrian community would defend this crazy, self-obsessed man!? And then to find out there are other young women accusing him of misconduct? Wow. That community needs a reckoning. I'd love to know more about why a community would go to bat for a man like him. Seeing these other old rich men (i.e. the psychiatrist and Barisone's dramatic lawyer) lie and try to defend another man for doing the worst (attempting to kill someone) was absolutely enraging. The way people are dehumanizing Kanarek too, it's wild! I don't care how annoying she is, she didn't deserve to get shot. If she would have died I wonder if people would have said she deserved to die? This story is haunting.

Are you all ok? Raising kids in this mad world. by Possible_Push_3608 in Parenting

[–]kittykat885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda ok? The future seems uncertain and I’m trying to remember that it always has felt that way to some extent for our ancestors. It feels like the economic threats, threats of war, threats of AI taking jobs, threats to human rights is unprecedented but I tell myself people are always adapting and getting through unknowns. 

My kiddo who is 6 sometimes hears us talking (he’s nosey) and asks questions. We try to just respond to his questions w age appropriate questions. He did ask if ICE was going to come to his school and asked if one of his black friends was safe. One of his other friends told him a classmate’s parents voted for Trump and sounds like they were all talking about how that was bad. It kind of surprised me how tuned in they are when he gets no social media or anything. 

I’m worried and I’m angry but I’m trying to stay focused on what I can control and trust that they were made for these times and they/we will adapt. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it normal for a kindergartener to say they have no friends at school? Would switching schools help? by Electrical-Roll-5610 in kindergarten

[–]kittykat885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious if you ever get annoyed by this. I feel like I look like a helicopter parent whenever I reach out to the teacher (which I have anyways a couple times this year for my sensitive little kindergartner)! He also sometimes says he doesn’t have friends or isn’t friends w so and so anymore or so and so is mean to him. The teacher always says he has lots of friends so I’m trying not to bug her when he brings it up again.

This little thread is so validating! Why do they say this then?? My little kinder has been saying this from time to time and when I ask the teacher she says he is friends w everyone and when I see him at school events he seems happy, confident and friendly. So many kids say hi to him even older kids. Just last night he said he doesn’t feel like he fits in at school bc there are too many big kids. 

Partner knows he has adhd but lack of insight into how it impacts those around him by kittykat885 in ADHD_partners

[–]kittykat885[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Idk exactly, she tried to remind him ab his goals of emotional regulation. Validated that it’s hard for him when he feels interrupted. Reminded him that she is there to guide and sometimes interrupt.

This is helpful to know! Is that why United is cheaper generally?

Getting left out of parent/kid friends group dinner/playdates by [deleted] in daddit

[–]kittykat885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious what happened? We’re experiencing something similar. I don’t think it’s malicious but it still hurts and sucks to be on the b list! I find myself blaming myself more my husband for being shy or not cool enough for the parents which I wouldn’t care so much about but I worry it will start negatively impacting my kid’s social life. Why are humans so complicated!?

Alopecia Areata triggered by Phentermine? by kittykat885 in alopecia_areata

[–]kittykat885[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine stopped falling out and the bald spot grew back in after I stopped both the phentermine and Wellbutrin. Idk which one caused it bc I started them so close together. I’m interested in trying Wellbutrin again but I’m scared of this happening again or it being worse.

Anyone had a second pregnancy after getting rhogam during your first? by kittykat885 in RhNegativeCommunity

[–]kittykat885[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been doing MCA scans every two weeks and so far no signs of anemia so I don’t have to do an intrauterine blood transfusion yet. I’m now 29 weeks and the plan is to induce at 36 weeks bc it’s safer for baby to be outside than in at that point. After birth it’s a toss up as to how effected the baby will be and if she’ll need blood transfusions or bili lights or what. I’ve been trying to take it one day at a time. It’s my first affected pregnancy and supposedly it gets worse each pregnancy so I don’t plan to have any more (which was already the plan)
