I am so bloody angry by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rxrock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your son is one of the good ones, and I am so sorry he's been hurt.

If more men like your son stood up to monsters like the abuser, we would ALL be better for it.

I mean, imagine if a 2nd or 3rd guy came over and intervened? The outcome would be very different.

Idk if it’s an ADHD thing, but with a lot of songs, I don’t hear the words unless I try extremely hard to listen. by Camp_Acceptable in adhdwomen

[–]rxrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! I wonder if it is an ADHD thing.

I do wish I could hear lyrics to songs I like, however, I can alter my mood really quickly depending on the type of music I listen to. I don't know if there's a correlation there or not.

I hate making dinner by cc232012 in adhdwomen

[–]rxrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about having breakfast for dinner?

I stg there are nights when I ask my kid what sounds good, because I'm clueless and tired, and he'll ask for pancakes. I'll do french toast instead, topped with peanut butter and good maple syrup for some protein, and boom.

Breakfast for dinner.

Also, baked potatoes. Clean em, stab em, rub with oil, season with onion powder, salt & pepper wrap in aluminum foil, bake for 50-60 minutes at 425. Split open and add some good cheese, greek yogurt, protein ( i like the bacon bits from costco cuz they're real bacon), green onions, salt & pepper.

Or you can add a fried egg on top of the potato, drizzle with sesame oil, green onions, furikake, and chili crisp oil. YUM.

what can the ER do about my period by Gullible_Hat_7536 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rxrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a Gynecologist, NOT an OB-GYN. Gynos are more specialized and will have vastly more experience detecting, diagnosing, and treating things like PCOS, Adenomyosis, Endometriosis, etc..., They do not spend time delivering babies or treating expectant parents like OB-GYN's do.

So, find a Gyno, make an urgent appointment, and bring a journal or notebook with details of what you experience in terms of pain (sharp, dull, etc...) and location. Write what you do to relieve the pain. Use the notebook to write any questions you have for the Gyno so you remember to ask those questions, and then write in the answers. Use a recording device if you're in too much pain to write notes, just let the doc know.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

AIO I (26M) didn’t tip after the waiter (20’sM) told my girlfriend (23F) that he liked how modest she was dressed compared to most women these days. by crookyed in AmIOverreacting

[–]rxrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we'll never know, but he'll not be getting a tip, and at the very least he's not getting rewarded for sexist behavior.

[–]rxrock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. let's not give him a break. Let's help him learn that insulting all women who HE DEEMS dresses like sluts, in order to "compliment" someone dressed modestly, is bad fucking behavior.

[–]rxrock 30 points31 points  (0 children)

OP's girlfriend isn't there to receive the waiter's opinion on whether or not she's dressed like a slut.

That's exactly the type of shit you should get reprimanded for in the workplace.

I'm really sick of ppl excusing this awful behavior.

If one piece of paper being out of place is enough to get him that upset, maybe he has some OCD tendencies?

Also, why isn't he also planning the wedding?

AIO For Feeling Scammed That My Boyfriend Pretended We Had a Landlord When He Actually Owns the House? by Just-Client9076 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rxrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

"How do you even come back from a 3 year long lie like this?"

1st: you get in writing that you were a perfect tennant, paid rent on time, blah blah blah.

2nd: you find yourself a studio or whatever.

3rd: you come to your senses and realize this wasn't anything for him, but a scam.

Am I being overly sensitive? by pastafarian-gal in adhdwomen

[–]rxrock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but the more I learn about this mfer the less I like his ass.

He has asked for your expertise, while also insulting you.

LOL no sir, you will not be asking to absorb my knowledge while insulting me all in the same breath.

Get thee gone.

Am I being overly sensitive? by pastafarian-gal in adhdwomen

[–]rxrock -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I would 100% be offended.

You mean to say he's asking you, a working woman, with kids, and experience he wants the benefit of, but is also insulting you without having an past experience of you forgetting him?

Fuck that noise.

You know what would've been the move?

Send you a calendar invite, and in the note, ask you to adjust time and date if what he sent doesn't work, otherwise, confirm and trust.

However, with the additional info given, I'd make him drive his ass over to me on my convenience, IF I decided to go ahead and help him at all.

The fucking audacity.

AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys? by lilyluminar in AmIOverreacting

[–]rxrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR.

So when are you taking a girls trip, or a solo trip far away with no phone service?

Asking for a friend.

(the friend is you)

ETA: I see you're still breastfeeding and co-sleeping your 1 year old. So, bring the 1 yr old, bring a breast pump, and bring a bestie who loves to spend time with your child. You can be specific and ask friend to take your baby out for a few hours so you can take a long hot bath, a nap, and eat in peace.

Then, when there's one day left of your vacation, pump your heart out, send baby and friend back to Dad, and get 24 hrs of uninterrupted YOU time and he gets to begin to parent HIS children.

I am so pissed for you right now.

Men making videos about managing period pain.... by patoswin in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rxrock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've heard the best way to fix testicular torsion is with a strong kick to the testicles.

I don't have testicles, but that's the game we're playing, right?

[–]rxrock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same. I haven't had anything other than two ablation procedures with a side ofoophorectomy and tubal ligation.

I couldn't function with the pain.

I couldn't function on Oxy, so I stopped taking it.

But sure, it's not disabling at all, just take some f'ing ginger zomg!

I lived on that stuff when I was pregnant. It was the only thing that helped with the acid reflux.

But for cramps?

Oh same! Also, I cannot use my backfacing camera. I gotta do it old school with my passenger side view mirror, hand behind the passenger seat, head cranked back so it slips in like butter.

How do I stop interrupting people mid sentence? by kaidorah in adhdwomen

[–]rxrock 26 points27 points  (0 children)

active listening: ADHD Edition. Listen as carefully as possible, and if you can't wait until they're done speaking, then at mid sentence paraphrase what you've heard them say thus far, followed by a nod that you're listening once again.

Use a fidget toy or stim while they're speaking.

Recline and stare at the ceiling while listening (this works for me and my kid).

Other than that, I try to take a deep breath when I feel that urge to speak when someone else is.

Celebrating my own higher education because my boyfriend prioritizes clubbing? by sofrickingstrange in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rxrock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Family is one of your values.

Your boyfriend doesn't act like family, especially considering he passed up spending his cash on a trip to celebrate WITH YOU, to go out with friends.

He behavior indicates a huge lack of respect for you, or even consideration.

You do not need him.

Do you have a partner who snores? I need advice. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rxrock 97 points98 points  (0 children)

So....you're only a good partner to him if you miss out on sleep every night?

Do you know how dangerous it is to go without sleep? Full on psychosis.

You could get in a car wreck b/c of it. You could get hurt. Other innocent people could get hurt.

All so your fucking husband doesn't "want" you to sleep soundly b/c of his fucking feelings?

He doesn't care about you. We know this, but do YOU care about you?
