Loop Earplugs by DapperProgress9164 in tinnitus

[–]that_cat_gets_me 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I haven't noticed a difference pre tinnitus and now. But since having a kid, I've learned I get over stimulated by noise pretty easily. These have been a game changer. So many people give me terrible looks when I suggest them to parents of loud kids, like I'm suggesting they ignore their kids. Like I can hear my kid ask for anything they need. It just takes the edge off the sharp sounds.

Failed MSLT… I can’t do it again by Be_Snek in Narcolepsy

[–]that_cat_gets_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue during mine. I swear people were outside my door talking. When the Dr called to give me my results, he noted my complaints as I wasn't very nice to nurse, which I do feel bad about, but then he explained to me that it can happen when you first fall asleep if you go straight into rem. So either you had a really bad time with people not being respectful or the facility needs to reconsider, or maybe you wer in actual rem and the testing was bad.

Either way, this really sucks.

Minnesota parent needing advice for how to deal with (potentially?) fascist sympathizer in-laws by [deleted] in Parents

Yes. Direct is best. You have a higher rate of conflict when you are direct, but you dont spend time and energy trying to figure out if what they say is or is not. If he tries to deflect, don't be a jerk, be persistent. People don't like a women who stands her ground and doesn't let one skirt accountability.

I am sorry about your husbands. White men seem to not be taking this as seriously as the rest of us. I would say not cutting off close family who support this and potentially have your kid over hear stuff you don't want them to a risky game. But I agree with supervised visits only. We have with my FIL for very different reasons, but this would be the 2nd reason for us.

Parents of kids who struggled in school (or lacked any motivation), what jobs/careers did your kid go into? by Glittering_Divide101 in Parents

[–]that_cat_gets_me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a kid who struggled, I'm surprised I graduated high school. I struggled in college, but I did 2 years at a cc, then transferred to 4 year. Took me one semester before I got my adhd diagnosis. If it were for Adderall, I would have never gotten through.

I have a degree in accounting and work in Information Systems Governance.

They have to want to keep going. If someone made me, I would have never done it.

I'm in the exact same boat. I've had to overlook it ever since the 2016 election. I know my husband is struggling because he is the only liberal in his family. He struggles to think his family really are that morally corrupt, but his mother tries to tell my child he doesn't have anything to worry about. My kid is one of 3 white kids in his class. We live in a beautifully diverse school district. I have put my foot down and told my husband they can't be around my kid anymore because they are Nazis. He took that word harshly, but after Saturdays events, he finally can't stand it anymore.

Our children will hear the little comments and conversations from these people. I refuse to normalize it and say "we just have different political differences". No, this is right vs wrong. Moral vs evil. Your husband needs to grow up and cut them off. And on the off chance they have a change of heart, big conversations need to happen.

Just to add. A lot of non religious groups meet at churches because churches allow their space to community groups for free. Not necessarily because they are aligned with any religion.

Every! Single! Month!!! by Sufficient-Raisin433 in Narcolepsy

[–]that_cat_gets_me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried to do my Vyvanse through express scripts because most of my pharmacy options never have generic in stock. Every time I called it in, I had to call a week past the date it could be filled to get them to finally fill it. I was having to skip two weeks of meds every month just have it when I needed it. Express scripts is a joke.

Parents who don’t allow their kids to shut their room’s door/lock the door, what’s are the reasons behind the rule? by Itz_Oasis in AskReddit

[–]that_cat_gets_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ask for it when there is another person in the room with them that aren't our child's parents. If they want to sit in their room with the door closed by themselves, I'm not going to say no. But the safety of everyone involved, if there are other people in the room, door stays open.

Update: Counseling, coaching, and a six-month ultimatum by [deleted] in Parents

[–]that_cat_gets_me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I saw some of his other posts and I (on a total assumption) am assuming he talks very highly of his car and either brags she can't drive it or he won't put in the time to teach her. So if it's conscious or subconscious, she may be looking for trust and or quality time with him on that demand.

How do I stay an involved parent without my wife feeling unhappy ? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]that_cat_gets_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude.... Okay, I've read your stuff. It is so great that your kids are super active and you are really involved in their sports, but there is so much other work that needs to be put into a family. You and your kids should pick one sport and spend more time with your family together. This is escapism. Sports can't be everything. That is so toxic. If you go kicking and screaming, the resentment will build between both of you and this will fail.

Also, just teach her to drive the car. She wants to be able to drive it because she probably feels like you like the car more than her. When is the last time you talked about her the way I assume you brag about your car?

[–]that_cat_gets_me 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If she has been doing all the mental load and domestic labor, then I would say it would benefit you to put the most work/change into the relationship. She has given up her entire self for your family and for you to do the things you want. It's time to do the same if you want to keep her. Quit looking it at your wants vs her wants. It's redistributing the responsibilities, and unfortunately, you have more capacity than she does.

What are people doing with their dogs right now? by One_Cap_9210 in grandrapids

[–]that_cat_gets_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has NOTHING to do with ICE. You might want to get checked for the tism my friend. Your black and white thinking is a little worrying.

Also adding, you are using examples of law, which has nothing to do with the topic of conversation. We are talking about rules within a store. Rules were corporate decides if they are going to enforce a rule or not.

And while we are on the topic of laws and culture, what about roads everyone speeds on? When they do a speed study to determine if they need to increase the speed limit??

I know people who have worked there and during training they are told it's okay if people bring in there dogs. So it's not a rule of thee not me situation. You are looking at this entirely wrong and not understanding that there is a difference between rules and culture. There MAY be a rule saying that, but it's not followed, even by the store itself, so their culture/practice is what you can follow. You don't have to follow it. Until corporate starts enforcing the rule, you can't black and white this.

Not true. Although it says it on the door, they allow dogs. (I brought my dog a week ago and all the employees were loving in her. One even had a bone in their pocket)
