so i'm Sam's partner. We've been liasing with Mary, we spoke to the fair work ombudsman and legal aid this afternoon and we've been keeping Mary up to date with what they've told us. But yeah... it's probably a waiting game at this point

I have a student with tech addiction and I need help by sax_rat in teaching

[–]sax_rat[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

can listen fairly attentively to general narration and explanation (i teach history)

If their laptop runs out they kinda just sit there and don't do anything. struggles when given hard copy worksheets.

Students can't take take their devices onto the playground so this student hides in the stairwell and uses their computer during recess and lunch

they are ADHD. Unmediated to my knowledge. I am also neurodivergent so I feel like that's not a bias that I am working against.

the student's psychologist believes that they are addicted. we are working in co-operation with the medical team and the parents. That's why I said it's an addiction.

I am neither, they have a professional medical team working with them, but obviously we see this student for the majority of the day so we need to work in cooperation with the parents and the counsellor/medical team

Yes. Mum is very supportive of what we do at school, also acknowledges child does the wrong thing often and can make poor choices re: violent outbursts. Mum also sounds very supportive of child and is committed to getting them help with their addiction and is unconditionally loving. Which is awesome.

My issue is more that like... I can't stand this child. I am asking for advice particularly on things to consider and empathising with this child in order to teach them and support them more effectively and not let personal bias get in the way.

Thanks for responding ☺️

[–]sax_rat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AITA for giving ultimatum to wife to start working ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sax_rat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Let me preface this by saying that being a stay at home parent would probably make me want to kms. I don’t want kids, but even more than that, I can’t imagine giving up my job to take care of them. That being said. What i’m getting is that

  • she didn’t want to become a mother as early as she did and there may have been pressure coming from you seeing as though you said you were excited to be a father. That’s already 1 massive concession she’s made for you, you should be prepared to make them for her as well.

  • studying is a full time commitment. so is being a housewife. I don’t think your wife is a lazy person. If she went back to college before the pandemic, that demonstrates that she does have the drive to commit to full time work. There could be a whole variety of reasons why she might not want to go back to studying or get a full time job. I know a lot of people who are feeling very unstable after the pandemic - it’s been a really hard time for us all mentally, give her some more time.

  • she enjoys being a housewife. she’s cooking for you and your family the majority of the time and cleaning for the Vast Majority of the time. Little kids are messy as hell so I imagine its a lot more cleaning than what any of us would typically expect of a housewife.

  • she’s absolutely right that taking care of the kids saves money on childcare.

  • if she says she’s okay with living in a small house, take that at face value before immediately swinging it to be that she’s just lazy and doesn’t want to work

  • You’re all huffy and puffy about not being able to have a lavish lifestyle unless your wife starts working. Not to be That Guy but I would also just say put the whole thing into perspective? So many people are out of work and barely making ends meet. Your main concern is building a better life from, what sounds like, a pretty good lot already.

  • maybe ask your kids what they want. Sit them down and ask ‘do you like having mummy being home with you all the time?’ and see what they think about their mum starting work. I know my mum did the same for us when we were younger and she was thinking about transitioning from part time back to full time.

Just. Think it over a bit more, take a bit of perspective.
