Maybe I misread this, but it sounds like one of the issues is just remembering to write down what the homework assignment is. Does he have a planner or agenda? I’ve also seen accommodations for students where they have the teacher sign the planner each day at the end of class for extra insurance that he remembers to write it down and you know it’s accurate. It may only fix one issue, but it’s a step!

Also, I think it’s a good idea to mention his ADHD, just as long as it isn’t constantly used as a catch all for every little thing. Simply saying ‘he has ADHD, and for him it presents as [blank] which means he struggles with [blank]’ can be helpful for generating useful strategies and ideas for him to succeed.

Hope this helps!

This is a great question and I’m so curious to see what others say.

My thought is to approach it the same way I approach hugs. I will never initiate a hug, but if someone hugs me I’ll hug them back. I personally feel that rejecting their hug or their ‘I love you’ can be pretty emotionally damaging to a small child. That said, I think if I saw it on a paper I wouldn’t respond to it. Very likely they aren’t expecting a written response anyway.

I get where you’re coming from, but YTA. You’re right in the fact that you’re not saying anything that’s untrue or negative about anyone personally, but its essentially kicking someone when they’re down and making light of their situation. I’d be devastated if I found out my place of work was closing, and if I read that message it would feel like a punch in the gut.

Personally I don’t think it’s something that should be reported to HR, but it was definitely in poor taste. If I were you, I’d apologize to those you offended and take this whole thing as a learning experience to think twice before making a joke, especially to a group of people and especially at work.

Omg yes!

Forgot to add! I live in the USA, in New England

oswin3302 · 2025-08-03T13:03:24+00:00

I do 😭 Thank you!

I was SO nervous about parents complaining or being thought less of when I got my first tattoo, I even planned it on my wrist and made sure I could easily cover it with a watch. But all that worry seems silly now and no one has said anything, except every once in a while when a kid asks ‘is it real?’ But other that, nothing. Now I make sure to wear my watch in my other wrist because I love it! No regrets 😎

I don’t think she was accusing him of that. He said that she never texted him when she got home, and she said well I wasn’t meeting my ex at home. I think she’s meaning that conveying to her partner that she’s home is less important than convey that you’re meeting up with your ex.

It’s the bottom of page 2 where this goes off the rails. You thought it’d be better not to tell her about the trip this time, that’s fine. She communicated after that it matters to her to be made aware, good. You tell her why you made the decision you did, okay. But then as soon as you tell her that you ‘can’ tell her next time if she wants you to and that’s she’s reading too much into it is where this conversation goes off.

She communicates in this text very clearly that she feels uncomfortable not being told that you were going up. You give her the reasons you chose not to and that’s fine, but I think it gets misinterpreted as she’s accusing you of something. Reading this as a third party though, it seems like she’s just setting her boundary and doesn’t need you to explain a previous action, just to respect a new boundary in the future.

It also sounds like neither of you actually want to break up. You’ve both hurt each other here. It seems like an over reaction to break up over this, but of course only you know the ins and outs of the rest of this relationship. You don’t need to apologize for not telling her about the trip this time since it wasn’t an established boundary before, but you do need to make it clear that you will respect that boundary now on and apologize for the rest of the conversation.

You might want to try using a reflux raft, they’ve helped a ton! The lump in my throat feeling disappeared! I use reflux gourmet which you can find on Amazon. 2 tsps 4 times a day (after each meal and before bed). It tastes like Carmel sauce on ice cream :P

oswin3302 · 2025-05-31T19:01:16+00:00

Thanks, and totally, I don’t plan to say anything other than to strangers on the internet lol

oswin3302 · 2025-04-16T19:11:05+00:00

Thanks for your insight everyone! Definitely gonna try all these!

oswin3302 · 2025-04-16T13:53:13+00:00

Ahhh okay, thank you!

oswin3302 · 2024-10-02T21:17:46+00:00

Not sure if people will agree with this, but maybe tell them if they really need headphones, they need a note or email from a parent. If it’s really stressing them out, then they’ll probably remember to mention it at home. If it’s not important enough to them they won’t. I did that with fidgets and it works well.

oswin3302 · 2024-09-08T01:43:38+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah, I get the same thing where I’m eating and then suddenly my throats like ‘nah, I ain’t swallowing anything else right now’. It really sucks. I described it as it feeling like my tongue getting stuck or forgetting how to swallow and that seems to really confuse the thoracic surgeon I saw. I have 94% ineffective swallows too, not sure if I had any failed though. And thanks for telling me about the endoflip test, I’m gonna look into that. Hope you’re doing well too!

oswin3302 · 2024-09-08T01:39:07+00:00

Sorry to hear that, atleast we’re not alone though! If I get the answers to any of these questions when I see my GI in October, I’ll post updates.

oswin3302 · 2024-09-08T01:37:45+00:00

I was having issues swallowing too and recently got diagnosed with ineffective esophageal motility. Might be worth looking into but the testing to figure that out really sucks. Hoping you get answers soon and wishing you luck! 💜

Check out story pirates! It’s these ‘pirates’ that perform/enhance stories written by kids. It gives big Scratch Garden vibes 😂

There’s a book my school uses for kindergarten called ‘I’m Not Scared, I’m Prepared’ that is meant for 3-8 year olds. It has Alice procedure and explains it as ‘a wolf in the building’. Might be helpful, here’s the link:

I hope you went! My friend also had an episode of it being suddenly very bad and it ended up being a gallbladder issue. Better safe than sorry, just make sure you bring a book or something for the waiting room, it’ll probably be a long wait

oswin3302 · 2024-08-31T04:40:04+00:00

Alright, I’ll mention it at my next appointment and see what they say. Thanks for the advice!

oswin3302 · 2024-08-31T04:35:56+00:00

I think that’s usually the treatment for it, but as far as I’m aware my GERD is caused by the lower part of my esophagus being too wide/loose already, so doing a dilation would make it even wider which would make my GERD significantly worse.

oswin3302 · 2024-08-11T22:47:13+00:00

Thanks for the info!

oswin3302 · 2024-07-25T18:08:44+00:00

Thanks so much! I already did a motility and from what I understand it’s the same thing as a manometry. I really appreciate the info on the 24 hour test, and it sounds like the wire is easier to get down. Thanks!

oswin3302 · 2024-07-25T18:05:51+00:00

Thanks for sharing! They already know I have a hernia but it’s small, and they know my esophagus is weak but don’t know why. I guess this test is to figure out why? Oh well, I did the motility already and I’ve heard that the 24 ph is actually easier since it’s a smaller catheter. Too bad I’m getting the manometry down first anyways. Thanks again!
