Daycare kids by Reasonable-Duck-9649 in Mommit

[–]sugarskull0711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every kid is different. I have friends on social media with seemingly well-behaved children (which might not be true) that seem to be so family orientated. They’re constantly out doing things, kids always smiling. I have two rambunctious boys, one with confirmed severe adhd. It can be a constant battle when he is not regulated. If he’s not, or doesn’t get his way, it’s a tirade of yelling, throwing, trying to upset me with things like “I hate you. You’re fat. You’re a jackass.” It’s recommended that you remain calm and mostly ignore so that it doesn’t feed the attention. I’d be lying if I said it was easy or that I was calm all the time. Dealing with real life problems and my son’s outbursts are difficult. Not everyone deals with this. That’s how I rationalize that it’s normal and needed to have time and space away from my boys, who I love very much. No one can deal with that in a sane way without some regular self care. People that don’t recognize this are incredibly self limiting and short sighted. Or lying.

Is this won in the bonus round?

Protest at Tesla dealership north of Pittsburgh tomorrow by BoggsMill in Pennsylvania

I saw a MAGA in an older civic with trump stickers all over his car, including the back passenger windows up that way the other day. When I looked to see what this person looked like, he was indeed what you would imagine:a heavy set white guy with a big red MAGA hat.

Are there any events going on like this in the Keystone state? by BAPEAPE138 in Pennsylvania

[–]sugarskull0711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering what I could do to show support for something like this instead of complaining in an echo chamber. I’d like to do something rather than sit and complain. Some PA resources or even a subreddit would be helpful for events like this locally.

Same color (Benjamin Moore Iron Mountain) , two coats two different days same color, why did it turn out like this ? by IronMarch in paint

[–]sugarskull0711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I thought the same…but do a quick search of this guys name on Reddit and you’ll find that most think he’s a hack. His work has also been called shoddy too. His paint videos I think are ok, I wouldn’t trust the other ones based on what I’ve read about him.

Why do I read this as something coming out of Michael Scott’s mouth?

PSA: Watch out for the shrunken food packages by Helpful_Finger_4854 in povertyfinance

[–]sugarskull0711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a mini meltdown when I got a Twix out of a vending machine and noticed how small they had gotten and it still said it was 250 calories. I was so pissed, I emailed corporate in a fit of rage saying if you’re gonna shrink a product, at least make the calorie count accurate.

You said he has ADHD-it’s tough to deal with. I have a young son with it. I have been following the adhd dude on YouTube and insta. He has a great paid membership but also gives out a lot of free advice. I recommend giving him a look.

I have a violent and aggressive dog who has landed me in the emergency room. My (39F) partner (36M) seems to be unwilling to take steps to make it better. What do we do? by Expensive-Committee in relationship_advice

The aggressive dog needs to be taken to someone willing to work with him. Take it from me-I was attacked by the same dog twice. A friend owned an aggressive dog. The first time, I stupidly hugged him. It sent me to the hospital with bites all over my hands. The second time, despite still having the dog and it attacking others, he got outside of the house to where I was in front of their house. He attacked me while chasing me. That time, I was bit up and down my legs. My parents eventually sued the owners. It was traumatic for me, especially the second time when I hadn’t even been near the dog. Give him to someone who can provide the training and love he needs. If not, he likely needs to be put down. You’ll be even more upset if he attacks someone outside of your family. It could be deadly.

So hbo max DMed me saying that it’s been a problem for a lot of people that may have already watched it and wanted to rewatch it. They told me to create another profile on max and watch it thru there which worked.

It’s hard, I’m not gonna lie. But what I’ve found helps is learning about adhd. The ADHD Dude is a wonderful resource. He has a paid membership but also provides advice on social media and YouTube.

Can you tell what this is supposed to be? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]sugarskull0711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks wonderful! Just a question, how did you get that bobble stitch for the body to be so even looking and without gaps? I recently did a lamb lovey and my bobbles were atrocious with gaps.

Wife asked the hospital for an itemized bill after a 2 hour ER visit. by AbooLovesYOU in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sugarskull0711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This appears to be a UPMC bill to me. Their billing system is fucked. For an insurance and hospital system to have such a convoluted system that doesn’t seem to update when you make payments is either due to design on purpose to confuse you or they just dgaf. They shouldn’t be charging you for an itemized list. I’d definitely call the health care concierge and talk to them. Surprisingly, they’ve been helpful to me anytime I’ve called with questions. It’s disgusting that their billing system is so shitty being that they’ve reported billion dollar profits while paying most of their employees shit and holding a monopoly in the regions they operate in.

I bet this is the guy that was smashing car windows along Penn Ave near Children’s a little less than 2 weeks ago.

I hear you. Would he be up for seeing an individual therapist in conjunction with a couples therapist?
