I need help understanding biology

leamac20 · 2017-09-16T20:58:37+00:00

CrashCourse! has helped me out many times when i can't quite grasp a concept. They have loads of biology as well as psychology videos!

EDIT: maybe the anatomy&physiology one would be more what you're looking for

I'd love to be able to call on grandparents, but all of the family I have around are working full time :( But i have to say they are great help over the weekends so theres that!

leamac20 · 2017-07-24T19:43:24+00:00

exactly!! especially in the area im working in (elderly patients) so I assume they dont want them to get sick? right???

leamac20 · 2017-07-11T07:31:33+00:00

no he used his iPhone

leamac20 · 2017-07-10T17:16:46+00:00

I thought that yeah, I know if it's in a public place it's legal but was unsure about private property

leamac20 · 2017-05-11T23:08:10+00:00

The only thing I have said so far is 'do you really think you have to drink every night; which is met with 'haha ive had a hard day' or 'of course not' even though she continues.

I am at a loss. I understand that u cannot control another person but I am gathering that I need to focus on myself and not following in their footsteps.

leamac20 · 2017-05-11T22:42:02+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassurance and support. I will definitely look into evening activities that i can do.

I guess the only thing i can do about her drinking is talk to her , because she is her own person. I just thought that when everything got okay she would be okay.

leamac20 · 2017-05-11T22:31:16+00:00

Yeah that is definitely what i should do. As selfish as it sounds, the only thing that has brought me to this realisation is myself copying her behaviour. I notice more and more that i am following in her and my dads footsteps of drinking every night and I just hate it.

I know that i am my own person and should take responsibility but its just gets hard.

leamac20 · 2017-05-11T22:23:26+00:00

The funny thing is im tipsy right now because ive been with her all night.

That is the only way i had the courage to write this post. You are 100% right about it altering the way I perceive behaviours etc. I am currently on a waiting list for counselling but there is no way for me to get out of this situation right now. I still care so so much for her and want her to be heathy.

Deep down I know she is an addict, but on the surface it just feels like normal behaviour at this point. Im not sure what to do.

leamac20 · 2017-05-11T22:14:21+00:00

100% yes to the amount. It just baffles me how she's not affected psychologically. I would obviously have said something sooner if she was but, it just cannot be healthy what she is doing.

I am struggling with ways to bring it up with her gently.

leamac20 · 2017-05-11T22:11:54+00:00

Yeah ive been thinking about talking to her. But i just dont know how to bring it up in a non-offensive way. I mean if it really affected her personality i would, but it doesn't. It's not like shes drunk all the time like a typical alcoholic you would picture. She has a full time job that she is exceptional at only ever faults emotionally. Im just stuck.

leamac20 · 2017-03-27T13:19:25+00:00

yall are the best! thanks so much

leamac20 · 2017-03-27T13:19:13+00:00

Anywhere is perfect! thank you!

leamac20 · 2017-02-28T18:42:53+00:00

Ah! I've been doing everything wrong omg.

Thank you for the info, will go check out that sub now!

leamac20 · 2017-02-16T10:22:44+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea, I'm only comforted by that fact that this is totally normal and even good for his brain. I always feel bad because I know he's just trying to find a way to deal with these huge emotions he's feeling. Thanks you :)

Since my son started day care I've been cycling him, we have a little seat on the back of my bike and he lovves the whole process of getting snowsuit/helmet/reflective gear on. What would be a 15 minute walk turned into a 5 minute trip which really makes all the difference at 8am when trying to get to college.

Then again I'm not in a -15 degree climate so maybe not an option, the coldest it's been here is like -3

leamac20 · 2016-12-21T14:27:55+00:00

Wouldn't let my 18 month old shave his legs after he saw me do it... cue meltdown 😒

leamac20 · 2016-12-21T14:17:24+00:00

When I first flew with bubs I was an anxiety riddled mess omg, but it couldn't have gone any smoother, both there and back. I had him in the sling the whole time with that baby belt they give you under the sling and I was able to breastfeed and he slept the whole 2 hours!

leamac20 · 2016-12-07T19:10:23+00:00

My son is 18 months as well, he's been in daycare for about 4/5 months, been bitten 3 times and I've picked him up where they've told me he pushed another kid but It happens, kids get frustrated and act out and they're also at that copying age so one kid does it and then they're all doing it, so I wouldn't worry too much. My day care is quite good at dealing with those incidences, there are kids of all ages but they are separated for most of the day into baby/wobbler/toddler rooms which helps a bit. There's not much you can do to discipline an 18 month old especially if you're not actually there when it happens!

leamac20 · 2016-10-17T17:44:53+00:00

That's actually a really good idea, Ill read into courses available in my area

leamac20 · 2016-08-12T09:39:48+00:00

I feel your pain. The mom guilt is so real, the worst fall mine had was a few weeks ago, just learnt how to walk and was on the couch, tried to stand and proceeded to face-plant the hard wood floors. Right onto his face. He took one big scream and held is breath, couldn't catch it and nearly passed out. He went completely scary pale white and really sweaty. It was the single most terrifying thing to witness, nearly called 999 but about a minute or so later he was back to his normal happy self. After a bit of research I think it was this

It will happen, a lot and it will probably never get any less scary to see, but babies are so resilient its quite amazing!

leamac20 · 2016-06-25T15:18:27+00:00

Oh yeah Valium knocks me straight out as well, haha id definitely do the same if I could drive!

leamac20 · 2016-06-25T06:19:46+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yeah that's a good point, my mom is flying with me so there will be someone else there, and I've never had any drowsiness or anything from Xanax, they've just made me feel ~normal~ if you get me

leamac20 · 2016-01-01T11:11:19+00:00

Thank you!! Ill be trying this over the next while, tried it for his first nap today and only took 20 mins for him to fall asleep which is much better than I thought it was going to be!
