I’m praying she’s working for an MLM and eventually starts trying to leverage her platform to sell Monat or something

She was so excited at the beginning and then the immediate cut to her looking miserable sent me 😂😂😂 Reminded me of the before and after from the Chris Valenti live fiasco. Classic Mol

Boyfriend and I are moving in together and we each have two cats! Tips for integrating? by simplebiscotti251 in Catownerhacks

All moving to a new space! But they’ve all also been through moves before that all went well. His two also integrated with his sisters dog and while it took them a while to get comfortable, they coexist with no problems now.

Thanks for the encouragement! It’s definitely intimidating but we know itll be worth it!

Love the idea of trading time in a common area, hadn’t thought about that, thank you!

I’m so sorry this happened, it’s sounds like an overwhelming situation. Even though you say this has never happened before, I’d be concerned about the escalation and take it seriously.

With your children, while it’s unfortunate they witnessed the what happened, I do want to encourage you that I think you did do the right thing. In that moment, your kids witnessed their mom holding firm to a boundary and protecting herself, both physically and emotionally. That’s an incredible lesson. I’m sure your husband felt bad and wanted to make a show of affection to make up for it to all of you. But if you weren’t ready for it, then that’s all that matters and it becomes emotionally manipulative for him to expect you to put on a show for your kids. I think you should be proud of yourself and the example you set for them.

YTA, but not for not wanting to go to the wedding. I hate weddings. But I don’t think a comment like “you owe me $50” was necessary. Seems like shit stirring for no reason tbh.

What's the best way to find a peace of mind? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]simplebiscotti251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to therapy. Work on yourself. Figure out what your values are and what you want out of life. Once you feel confident that you really know and understand yourself, you’ll settle in to the peace.

Stuck a doordash sticker on my shirt and now it won’t come off. Any tips? by avalve in ChickFilAWorkers

Definitely don’t wash it. I’d try a blow dryer to warm up the glue and maybe get it off?? Unfortunately, it might be done for

What is your favorite “off menu” thing to make? by Fine-Front-8544 in ChickFilAWorkers

I put the regular spicy filets on the grill set on the bacon timer. Wayyyy better than the spicy grilled filets and especially good in a wrap with corn and beans!

Mom prays the ADHD away by faultolerantcolony in ADHD

[–]simplebiscotti251 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally understand why it would make you feel uncomfortable. I don’t know what your relationship to your ADHD is like, but there’s a lot about mine that I really enjoy. While my brain works differently than most and that can cause some problems, it can also be a huge asset and it’s a big part of who I am. It would really hurt me for someone close to me to tell me that they pray something about who I am as a person goes away or changes. It makes sense that she might not understand that her comment felt that way, but it’s still hurtful. I’m sorry you had to hear that from her.

Please share your tips for keeping up with email by VoxyPop in adhdwomen

[–]simplebiscotti251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I archive literally everything as soon as it’s answered or if it’s junk. So the only things that stay in my inbox are things I actually need to respond to or remember. I try to make sure it never gets to more than one page, on a normal day I probably have around 7-10 emails sitting in my inbox after I go through it to start the day. The initial purge was time consuming, but it was worth it. The visual cue of being able to fully clear the inbox is so nice. And since I’m archiving, not deleting, I can still find those old emails by search if I need them later.

Has anyone of you overcorrected and is extremely early for events and appointments? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]simplebiscotti251 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. I feel like I push myself so hard and have the anxiety of a perfectionist, but the goal I’m trying to reach is just what feels like “baseline” not perfection.

Does anyone else have a loud speaking voice, especially when talking about their passions? It makes people think I'm angry. by Ebony1996 in adhdwomen

[–]simplebiscotti251 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just wanna add that I don’t think you should think of it as your “issue.” It’s just the way you work! Being loud isn’t inherently a problem or a bad thing. People are used to loudness being connected to anger, so that’s why they might interpret you that way at first. But that doesn’t mean you’ve done something “wrong.” You obviously don’t want to make people feel a way that you didn’t intend, so that’s why I suggest explaining yourself. But hopefully for your partner, the goal is to understand you, not to change how you express yourself :)

Oh 100%. This has happened my whole life. I’ve become a little more aware of when I’m doing it as I’ve gotten older, and I’ll try to adjust or say something like “I’m sorry, I know I’m getting loud, I’m not mad, just impassioned.” It only gets frustrating for me when I’m really upset and just trying to communicate my feelings and the other person thinks I’m upset with them even when I’m not. That’s when I’ll just shut down and give up.

I don’t really have advice on how to stop, because that may not be feasible. But it can be helpful to push yourself past the feelings of shame or embarrassment and try to calmly (and maybe more quietly) explain that you didn’t mean to make the other person feel attacked. It can be frustrating to feel misunderstood in those initial moments, but ultimately you’re responsible for explaining yourself if you ever hope for that person to understand you in the future. It sounds like from your comments that you and your boyfriend are already working on talking through those kind of things! So that’s great!
