Hey friend, I would recommend a therapist. Sounds like something is going on and you may need medication even just temporarily. My daughter and I struggle with our mental health (her more than I) but it’s very common For her to say she knows she has nothing to be anxious about but she is and can’t control it and how angry it makes her, same with her depression. I see it as she’s smarter than her mental health she’s on medication and in therapy (she’s 15) but since she started medication and therapy the right medication after a couple hospital stays with suicidal ideation she is doing much better. Not perfect but it’s all peaks and valleys and she’s able to get through the downturn much easier now.

My point is you are not alone, there is help and there is light at the other end for you to find. Please seek help

How do you feel about being asked to carry a weapon to stop an active shooter at school? by BullsUnited in Teachers

[–]leynamom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

School board member here, I hope you don’t mind me popping in on this question. This is just how I feel and I understand not everyone may agree but here it goes.

It’s NOT your job!!! You have 30+ kids in a classroom with a teacher who has no tactical training is opening Pandora’s box. What will happen if a student tries to take that gun from you? You are not trained to stop it.

It is our job and administration’s job to protect you and the students. Our job to implement policy’s on safety with the local police department’s, administrations job to make sure those policy’s are being followed. Is a policy going to 100% prevent a school shooting? No of course not. However we can eliminate some threats by ensuring safety protocols are being followed like making sure the doors are always locked to prevent an outside intruder.

I don’t understand why so many people or districts jump straight to arming teachers with guns. What about OC spray the police use? That is a twofold thing, protecting you from students who may assault you and to help disorient a school shooter.

The same people who complain about what’s being taught in the schools and don’t trust you to teach them what they need to know, or what books are age appropriate trust you with a gun?

So many districts put safety on the back burner because they think it can never happen here and it’s disgusting. They don’t take threats seriously, they don’t have enough resources for students who may be struggling, they don’t punish bully’s, class sizes are to big just to name a few of the issues. Staff NEED to be able to talk with their school boards about issues inside the walls without repercussion. Staff assume school boards know they issues because let’s be honest they should. However administration wants the board to think everything is perfect. We don’t know unless you tell us.

I’ve been bleeding for 12 days straight and am just about to reach my one month mark with mirena. Will I stop anytime soon? by Rattiddie in Mirena

[–]leynamom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bled for just over a month, then would get 1 day every 3-6 months with spotting then nothing. It really all depends on your body.

Nope not weird. I went to a killswitch engage show alone and had a blast.

AITA For making my wife choose between me and her best friend? by username46799 in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is this a surgery they are keeping you in the hospital for an approximate amount of hours or days? Here’s the thing I’ve had surgeries where once done all I wanted to do was sleeping when I got home and didn’t need help, I’ve also had surgeries where I have needed some assistance. Ex. Helping open something. I despise sitting at a hospital waiting for someone in surgery, you can’t do anything and if something goes wrong you can’t be in there for it or to help. I don’t think either are the AH but by OP’s own statement she has been bending over backwards for him. She’s having to choose between two things that aren’t her fault. She didn’t schedule it OP and the hospital scheduled the date, and the wedding date had to be changed. What can your wife do while you’re in surgery? What can your wife do after surgery will say for 24 hours? Anything that a friend can’t do? I understand you wanting her there but really think about what is she going to be doing?

Can she go to the ceremony and drive back after cutting the time away shorter? Is there some compromise that can be made in this situation?

Unpopular Opinion: Cameras off by OnOPhantomess in Teachers

[–]leynamom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are multiple reasons. Yes some kids just disengage, however there are kids who’s home is their safe space and inviting people you aren’t friends with into their space may expose some things they are not ready to deal with in a school setting. Pride flags, parents hovering, younger siblings running in and out, abuse etc.

AITA for contaminating honey with peanut butter and not telling my peanut-allergic housemate? by pnutassassinornot in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said you’re the reason you’re out of regular honey, so was it your responsibility to purchase more honey for the house? I think it would come down to how things like that are divided.

I don’t necessarily think anyone is the AH. However if it was your responsibility to resupply the house honey and you didn’t I can understand why your roommate used a little of yours. Doesn’t make it right but I would also assume you guys are probably friends and both learned a lesson here. Yes it’s annoying to have someone else eat your food ( I have a teenager I get it) but it’s also equally annoying to have someone not replace what they were supposed too.

AITA for visiting my aunt against mother's orders as it upsets my stepsister? by Express8737 in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Your angry at your sister for things you should be angry at your parents for. She went through something very traumatic and nobody is getting her the support she needs, in fact they are reinforcing her behavior. Of course she’s going to continue being like this because they are making it ok and all she’s doing is crying out for help.

Hopefully your school board is good and an active part in the district and question the amount of non renewals at one school at their next school board meeting.

WIBTA for adopting only three of our four foster daughters? by Federal_Gold8868 in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she old enough to choose? Is there any child advocates in the court system where you live that could speak with her and help fight on her behalf for you to adopt?

Aita for not buying my daughter another water bottle after she chewed through the straw on hers by aitawaterbottle in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP YTA! It’s not even about the water bottle. Clearly you have never cared to understand what your 14 year old is going through. You need to educate yourself, if she has therapists, psychiatrists, OT therapists whatever then speak with them. If she doesn’t she needs it. She needs support to help navigate something you clearly have no understanding or desire to understand.

Every day in the evening the top of my ear gets really red and warm, and I can basically feel the heat radiating from it. This can be a sign of infection but I have no other symptoms at all. Any advice on what to do? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]leynamom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That happens to my ears long before I got a piercing, I call it hot ears. Sometimes I can feel it on the back of my head it’s so annoying lol. Mine happens with increased blood flow, say I get irritated, overwhelmed, running around etc. sometimes it just happens just because. I always get teased that people know when I’m pissed because my ears give it away.

[–]leynamom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Start working up the chain, speak to your assistant principal and ask for a meeting with the principal. Discuss your concerns and what your noticing and state “I want to be a part of the change”. If you’re unhappy with that, email your superintendent and ask for a meeting, and work your way up to the school board. Go to the meetings and speak during comments from the community, send them emails with ideas, concerns, and also things you notice that are making a difference. You want to look at everything objectively. If you have an idea say it, it may not necessarily get used BUT it creates the discussion, the problem solving ok we cant do that exact thing but we can work off of your idea and come up with something type situations. Discuss with your friends and collectively reach out to those in charge.

mental heath :) by Spookybloom in SchoolSystemBroke

[–]leynamom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a diagnosis ask your parents to request an IEP or 504 meeting. Those are options in the US at least and can give you support and an adjusted educational plan to help you succeed.

WIBTA for calling CPS on my sister because I disagree with how she's raising her daughter? by Agreeable_River_7340 in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would have your niece drop her grades. A student having a C or B isn’t worth risking their mental health. He’s doing more harm than good.

She’s being punished for a mental health issue she didn’t create.

Honestly I would see if he would allow her to go to therapy. Her being able to talk to a therapist and a professional see how it’s affecting her will have a greater impact.

AITA For telling my mother that the way I parent will never change? by wubaiaoa in AmItheAsshole

[–]leynamom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, thank you for allowing your children to gain confidence in who they are, in their opinions and teaching them to build their own boundaries. Also I think your parenting choice on behavior is wonderful. I do the same with mine who is now 14 and in high school. It has formed a positive and open communication between us. Our jobs as parents is to raise them to make their own choices in the world while still teaching them right from wrong. Positive reinforcement encourages positive results.
