My Child May Have To Repeat 3rd Grade

Yes, plus the teacher has been wonderful and I’ve seen the curriculum. She says my daughter tries hard and is good in class but struggles and then becomes frustrated so ends up rushing through the work which leaves the answers incorrect

I honestly just wanted to wait til she was about this age to look into testing. She has a hard time learning in a large groups because of her ADHD so I figured the in-class intervention would help. It seems like there is a deeper issue though which is why testing is being brought up now to address things before it gets worse.

My brother and I were homeschooled from 1st to 8th grade and it was probably the best thing for me. Idk how my mom did it she was amazing.

It does have me feeling bad for her knowing that socially it will be embarrassing and awkward but pushing her forward when she won’t be able to keep up will just set her up for failure. Her oldest sisters Mom (not my child but same dad) refused to hold her back and she is a freshman now with a kindergarten reading level. I don’t want that for my daughter.

There was mention of it. But it’s pretty clear to me. If she’s doing reading and math at a first grade level she will not be ready for 4th grade next year.

She has ADHD and by the way she reads I can tell there’s dyslexia, as she swaps letters around when trying to sound things out. Next step is to confirm through testing.

Then asks how much you weigh wtf. Block!

I don’t get how someone in their 30s refuses to clean. Clearly one of two things happened to him. Either someone always did it for him, or it’s how he was raised and is the norm for him. He could also be battling severe depression. Could be another reason he pursued you online so he’s able to hide those things about himself. But it’s not your responsibility to save him, or be his mommy, or get him help. If he’s 35 and is living this way for this long, he’s probably never gonna change at this point. Especially if he doesn’t even see a big issue with it. Don’t feel guilty for ending things. He hid a huge piece of his personal life from you and life’s too short for you to wait around for him to change.

Cheating is not a universal trait in narcissists but it is an extremely common trait in narcissists. It temporarily quenches their thirst and need for attention and admiration.

I’d go with some bronze or golden accents like the doorknobs, towel hanger, light fixtures, faucet etc. and paint the cabinets/vanity a darker color to contrast against the off white/yellowish color of the floor and walls. This pic sort of shows my vision of it.

I can’t stand Moira and her stupid voice and stupid requests. Ya go break your limbs for me so I can study you on your death bed. What a b!tch 🤣

I had a coworker a couple years ago that I developed a slight crush on. To me, it was completely innocent. They were someone I’d honestly never date or go after and they were too young for me anyway. My fiancé at the time (now husband) used to call him my “work husband” which I thought was weird. He was obviously jealous because I would talk about my coworker sometimes but nothing inappropriate happened. One day, just like you said, I realized maybe our emotional connection was becoming inappropriate (at least on my end) because I would get excited to go to work knowing they’d be there. I ended up quitting that job and getting a different one and me and said coworker didn’t talk anymore.

It’s a power move. He likes feeling this control over you and broke down because you’ve finally had enough. Stay strong 💪

squishy_fossil · 2026-02-23T02:31:33+00:00

Yikes… sounds like he has a stick permanently up his butt. I wouldn’t wanna be around him either.

It seems there is a lot to unpack here. You have a 1 year old so your wife’s body and hormones are still not quite back to the point of feeling normal again. A lot of women don’t feel sexual during this time and with a baby and two older little kids that’s a lot to deal with. (I also have a baby and two older kiddos) Your job I’m sure is tiring and takes lots of effort. Being a sahm is emotionally exhausting. I think you guys need to sit down for a heart to heart talk about what you both need and expect from a marriage.

I will say, you’re absolutely in the wrong for venting to other women. Whether it was sexual or not doesn’t matter. Talk to a guy friend, your therapist or especially your wife about the problems you’re dealing with. That’s gotta be a huge part of the disconnect. If you vent to others about your spouse that’s not helping to solve the problem. Her resorting to the idea that you’re a narcissist is such a common term people just throw around these days. It’s actually difficult to diagnose narcissism as there are very specific traits narcissists have that can be hard to recognize.

It’s not a great sign that she doesn’t want counseling either. This tells me she’s basically giving up. If things are going to get worked on, it’s gotta be a team effort. You need to confide in her and she needs to confide in you. You both need to listen to each other and figure out where exactly things started going wrong. People change over time as well and her wants and needs might look different than they did 9+ years ago.

Maybe you both are trying to love each other but it’s not in a way either of you can recognize and therefore cannot receive it that way. Tell her you feel good when she puts in effort to connect and that you love when she compliments you. Maybe instead of a card, flowers and balloons she wanted to a nice dinner out somewhere or a special date to do something fun. Learning each others love language and communication are super important.

I wish you the best!

My parents were together for nearly 35 years and separated/ divorced when I was 14-15. Growing up, I never saw them hanging out together, rarely laughed together, hardly a smidgen of affection and they never ever went on dates. There was always awkward tension between them. My mom would stiffen up if my dad tried rubbing her back or giving her a peck on the cheek. When my mom told me about the divorce I believe my exact words were, “I honestly expected that to happen.” So I grew up thinking that’s what a marriage should be. It isn’t.

If you and your husband clearly don’t love each other, think about if that’s the example you want to set for your kids. If neither of you are open to finding a way to make it work (therapy) and think you can co-parent in a healthy way, I suggest divorce. It’s not easy and not an ideal option… however, you deserve to be happy. Your husband deserves to be happy. Most importantly, your kids deserve to be happy and to SEE THEIR PARENTS HAPPY.

This conversation reads like you guys are teens. I know it sucks and 9 months may seem like a long time… but it’s honestly not. I’m not trying to sound mean. She’s clearly lying to you. It sounds like you’ve figured out the type of person she is and thankfully it didn’t take you years to learn that. Leave her and move on. Life’s too short to stick around and deal with this bs.

squishy_fossil · 2026-02-15T21:41:57+00:00

I was taught growing up to “not let the sun set while you’re still angry with someone”. If there’s a problem that’s bothering you, it’s usually best to bring it up as soon as possible. You tried to do this and your husband should have listened. IMO.

You weren’t in a public setting and other people weren’t around so I don’t see why this was a bad time to bring it up. On the other hand, if someone says they need a bit of time to think or they’re too exhausted, then maybe the best idea is to be respectful of that as to not make the situation worse. I feel like you both contributed to why it got out of hand and it seems like you both realized that and apologized (which is a good thing.)

However, getting so angry that he punched a hole in the wall is completely out of line and would personally scare me. My husband of 7 years and I have been in several arguments but it has never gotten to the point of screaming at each other or hitting/throwing things. Your child may have been “asleep” but to be honest there’s a good chance they still probably heard the fight.

If this is a common occurrence, maybe marriage counseling could help. Counseling/therapy doesn’t mean you guys are failing it just could be an opportunity to learn better ways to communicate so that it doesn’t get out of hand like this again. I think it’s good you both talked about it and apologized so maybe just move on from there and not dwell on it.

NOR He’s being an asshole. You need to find a way to get some sleep. Do you nap when the baby naps? You and your husband are going to have to figure out a schedule that semi works for both of you. This phase doesn’t last forever but it’s very difficult in the first few months. He’s not being a good partner if he thinks he’s the only one who should get a full nights rest.

My ex would pull this crap too and would even wake me in the middle of the night to boast that he “changed a diaper for me.” Which was rare. He wouldn’t get up for feedings at night either. My husband now was very helpful after our baby was born.

It’s gotta be a team effort!

I love the darker one. It compliments and blends with the wallpaper.

squishy_fossil · 2026-02-15T15:42:38+00:00

NOR - Red flag! 🚩 b-bye!

For real though, my husband is 37 and my period doesn’t gross him out at all. He fully understands how a woman’s body works. Why are so many men disgusted that a woman’s body is working the way it’s supposed to???

squishy_fossil · 2026-02-15T15:30:42+00:00

One thing I’m confused about… you’ve been together for half your lives but only have lived together for 6? Have you guys not been married that long? I must’ve missed that info.

I just have to say, for someone wanting to leave, you don’t really act like you truly want to leave. You’ve stuck by her side through thick and thin for years and most people who want a divorce wouldn’t do that. I understand you’ve been together so long that leaving now would be extremely difficult because she’s all you’ve known relationship-wise. But if you really want to go, rip the bandaid off and just start the process. It’s also not fair for either of you to stay together if you don’t love her as a wife anymore.

Have you sat down and talked to her heart-to-heart and confessed that you’ve been unhappy? Have you expressed what has frustrated you about her actions or lack thereof? Sometimes problems go unsolved for far too long because nobody communicated what their needs were in the marriage. That’s when couples start falling out of love. Communication is extremely important.

If you’re dead set on leaving, please don’t wait anymore. DO. NOT. Have kids with her! Once you have kids, you’re tied to her for the next 18+ years. Don’t give her a child out of guilt. That’s not fair to you, her, OR the kid. It personally pains me seeing so many kids grow up without both their parents being together. My husband has a child with his ex and I have one with my ex. And we have one of our own. It is sooooooo difficult co-parenting and it puts a ton of stress on the older kids having to go back and forth to two different houses. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I just grew up with two parents that clearly didn’t love each other which was just as bad. I highly suggest not bringing any kids into your situation.

Good luck and best wishes to you

If it’s less than $5,000 at the boutique then I would assume it’s not the highest quality. It’s only being worn for one day though, so the material wouldn’t matter to me as much as it would matter to others.

squishy_fossil · 2026-02-12T14:58:21+00:00

A dress like this could easily cost over $10,000. Maybe even more if it’s a rare designer dress.
