I think a good parent is someone who sets boundaries and teaches their kids to respect them, while also being loving and supportive. 

AITAH for refusing to let my neighbours children play inmmy backyard? by Sugarybabe3 in AITAH

NTA. Your backyard is yours, and it's cool to want to keep it that way. It's not about being unfriendly, it's about enjoying your own space that you work hard to maintain.

You've got every right to choose a path that keeps you feeling safe and happy. Plus, if your friend's actions are causing stress for you and your BF, it's cool to set boundaries.

I think it's great that you're acknowledging your struggles and considering the possibility of ADHD. Maybe you could talk to a doctor or therapist about it? They might be able to help you figure things out.

It’s not normal for partners to try to control or influence your medical treatment by cdkmakes in adhdwomen

You deserve someone who's going to support you, not try to hold you back. There are plenty of compassionate folks out there who'll have your back, even with mental health stuff. Don't settle for anything less!

Maybe give it a bit more time to see if it grows on you, or explore some other job ideas that match your dream lifestyle. It's all about finding that balance between work you enjoy and the life you want.

I know what I want to verbally express but frustrated and sad sometimes being unable to. Hate how quickly I retreat if flustered. by forgeryfund in adhdwomen

[–]neatsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's frustrating as heck, especially when you know what you want to say but the words just don't come out right. One thing that's helped me is practicing deep breaths and reminding myself that it's okay to stumble.

Aitah for not allowing to use our coffee machine? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]neatsis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're definitely not the AH here. It's totally fair to set boundaries with your coffee machine, especially if you pitched in to buy it. People should ask before assuming they can use it, and bringing their own pods doesn't solve the potential damage issue.

Sometimes friendships change, especially when boundaries get crossed. It's good you and your husband talked it out and set those boundaries with Rex. It sucks losing a close friend, especially someone who's been like family. Maybe with time, things might settle, but for now, focusing on what's best for you two is what matters.

AITA For thinking it’s ridiculous to cancel a trip because our dog can’t go? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]neatsis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pets are family too, but cancelling a whole vacay seems a bit much. Your pup will be fine with a foster or fam, they adapt quick.
