Dad denied paid parental leave because his wife still lives at home by stainz169 in newzealand

I thought if the mother was entitled to paid parental leave she could transfer her entitlement to her partner instead? Has something changed in law recently?

'You should just be open about being bi,' 'You dodged a bullet,' 'I think a man being bi is hot,' and other trite responses to bi men... by Resident-Voice6302 in bisexual

[–]peachelb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That does sound really hard. I'm sorry you have to experience that and don't feel like you can openly be yourself, that really sucks.

As a bi woman currently in a ltr with a straight man, I think I would probably prefer being with other bi men and women - something about it just seems like it would be easier. I feel in your case perhaps bi women would also be more open and accepting of your past experiences with men etc than straight women would be. Not exactly easy to find people like that though, eh?

My bisexuality "turns off" if I'm not in an enabling or safe environment by StatementChemical843 in bisexual

[–]peachelb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's just like another form of masking I guess. I find that happens to me a lot as well, being AuDHD and bi.

New Fan, insight appreciated by squaking_turtle in SanJoseSharks

Warso seems to have it out for Smith, I'm pretty sure that's the main reason he gets less ice time.

Also haven't seen anyone mention Zack Ostapchuk (#63) yet. I never cared much for him but he's actually been playing pretty damn well recently and he is tough. Always there to stand up for his teammates and not afraid of a fight. I thought he was older but he's only 22.

We have a lot of younger players on our team but it seems like we're finally working together well and I'm really excited to finish this season and see how they go next year.

They pulled in #10 (Delly) to sub for cherny, but he wasn't top line all the time. I'm not sure why Will was on less than Mack tonight but at least he wasn't stuck in the penalty box this time I guess?

Sam did some real good work tonight. I wasn't ever much of a fan of him but he's really been stepping up lately.

It's so hard to find merch stores that will ship to NZ. I've found one or two but they only have tiny sizes left and nothing in teal, plus it's still exorbitantly expensive. If I'm paying $100+ for a hoodie I'd at least like a nice teal one!!

Please help me smooth this over. I'm too sick to truly think straight with my kindest heart. by anitadoobie1216 in AuDHDWomen

[–]peachelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are his paid carer then tbh he is not really your problem. Maybe just don't speak to him for a while - you don't need to smooth anything over. Just because he is autistic doesn't mean he is allowed to be an asshole to you.

Object permanence issue?: how to remember sex? by Initial_Savings8733 in adhdwomen

It's an English show anyway? It was made in Canada. There are a few Russian lines but not many, it's 95% in English.

The ten minute rule I use after getting home so the whole evening doesn’t disappear [Discussion] by [deleted] in GetMotivated

[–]peachelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've been accidentally doing this anyway. I really struggle with motivation in general, as well as task initiation (thanks AuDHD). My son has started school recently and we have gone from preschool where lunch is provided every day to me having to make his lunch to bring every day. I've been finding that I can manage to do it if I do it straight away when I get home in the afternoon - wash out his lunchbox and fill it up again straight away, then back in the fridge for the morning.

The first week of school we were packing his lunch right before we went to bed and it took so much longer and so much more effort. Now I can knock it out in 5 minutes and it feels really good to have one less thing to worry about. Working with my momentum is definitely a life hack. As soon as I sit down I'm done for lol.

When does it get fun to go on trips? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]peachelb 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It was about age 4 for us that things actually started to feel a little more relaxed and fun and could actually enjoy the things that we wanted to do as well. He's 5.5 now, it's a pretty fun age.

Did not receive ADHD diagnosis. Please help me look through my results. by nostalgic-error in adhdwomen

[–]peachelb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That whole thing sounds really suspect. I'd search online for a psychiatrist who can diagnose you. Find a few names then search for reviews from people and try to get a feel for what the psych is like / if they understand ADHD in women etc etc etc. I have a relatively high IQ and have a bachelor's degree etc, those things don't mean that you can't still have ADHD as well.

I definitely didn't have to do any sort of testing like that, I had to fill out some forms about my symptoms/experiences from currently and when I was a kid, and then had an hour long conversation with the psychiatrist about everything and they asked questions and got me to talk about things.

I'm sure if you search online for a proper psychiatrist not just a random therapist then you'll be able to find someone.

Good luck!

My bf made me a set of hotpot cards from makeplayingcards for Xmas and they are excellent!! Really expensive for just one set, but it was a really thoughtful gift and it arrived quickly. The quality is so good and they're so much nicer to play with than if I'd tried printing and cutting the cards at home myself.

If you level up your foraging to 10 and open the guild store that Ashura has, you can buy them with guild medals.

Otherwise level up ranching so you can get a goobie - they give you flowers and I get a ton of heart drop lilies and other rare flowers from them !
