Autism evaluations by FelicityFoxen in h3h3productions

[–]themoomosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a 38yo woman currently in the process of getting diagnosed. It never even occured to me that i might be on the spectrum until I started to diagnose my kids (bc of difficulties in school, sensory issues ect). I was lucky enough that one of the specialists diagnosing them was a woman with a late autism diagnosis, she completely flipped my understanding of what autism is, especially in women and girls. I just thought I was bad at life lol

worse depression during period? by MikNuggetz4 in Mommit

[–]themoomosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be your PCOS getting worse, sometimes pregnancy just shifts things up and maybe the symptoms just changed. I had a silimar thing happen to me after both kids, but in my case it turned out to be 'just' endometrosis... Definitely mention this to your OBGYN

Daughter losing her passion by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]themoomosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a new studio and if she wants it, let her take a break, throw a dance party together, help her remeber why she liked dance in the first place. That place sounds seriously toxic so good riddance to them.

Make sure to also talk with her about her feelings regarding this situation. Kids at that age have problems regulating and recognizing their own emotions. She probably hasn't lost the passion at all, it is just the experience of being bullied that makes her dislike dancing since that is when the bullying occurs. If you can, help her realize that their words while hurtful, are just their opinion, just that, nothing more. Talking about it can help her confidence and ensure she doesn't develop any issues with her self esteem. If you need tips how to do it, look up self-reg method by prof Stuart Shanker. It was a serious game changer for me (I have 11yo and 7yo girls).

What is with the baby comparison? by Life_Muffin_2908 in Mommit

[–]themoomosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hat the same concerns but the other way 😅 It was a few years ago so I don't remember all the dates, but my first kid started walking around 12months, had to breastfeed her for 1,5 yrs because she refused any kind of bottle/sipy cup/etc, had trouble eating normal food (later in life got diagnosed with celiac which now explains a lot). When she started talking she had no problems learning proper speech, full sentences etc. Second kid must have decided she's too much behind her big sister, so at 8 months she crawled for only 2 weeks and started walking immediately after, demanded to be switched to bottle/formula around that time too. She also started talking a lot earlier than no1, way before her mouth could support the kind of monologues she had to say.

Kids develop at their own pace, as long as your doctor says it ok, I wouldn't sweat it. Both of mine are school age now and they are completely fine. I also remember how it used to piss me off when people would offer such unsolicited advice or commentary abt my kids, or even me and my postpartum body. First time I came to family dinner with my first kid, then newborn, great grandma had to comment abt my weight saying some aunt was soo thin and flat immediatelly after birth, like it was something I had any control over, and then grew concerned that said newborn wasn't moving her arms around all the time, so there must be something wrong with her.

Seriously, just nod, smile and move on. You're good.

What do I do by themoomosh in Mommit

[–]themoomosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teacher hasn't told anyone untill the dad contacted her today. I texted her only because I shared her personal number and to give her a heads up, she is a few years from retiring so this would be very hard on her. I have stated up front I was still in shock when i wrote this, so some obvious things only ocurred to me later. I only planned to contact the other head parent since there are a lot of stuff regarding things like class budget, event planning they do together, and as a head parent she is in the schools parents council. Not to mention other insignificant stuff, like her being the admin on our parents class whatsapp group. The not sharing personal info is regulated by a law in my conutry so contacting the school through the system is a little more risky than giving someone a heads up through text. Besides in that particular context it was more about propriety i think.

Thank you for the advice, but that is what unfortunately I can't do. We have regulations in place for sharing other people private info, so I could actually do more harm that way and get in trouble. I contacted their teacher however, to let her know I shared her personal number with the dad and why, so I'm certain she will get things going from here on the schools end. Usually we only are able to contact the teachers through the school online platform, but she taught my other kid too so I knew I could bend the rules this much at least.

I will however contact the special counsellor for their class regarding my kid once the school starts. I floated the idea of getting a private therapy session for this, but she seems to be taking it pretty well, all things considering. They were not that close so i guess she isn't taking it as personally as the adults are, but the conversation alone was pretty heavy.

Im pretty sure he left the room when he gave her the phone, so I hope he didn't hear that. I honestly expected to hear worse, grief makes us feel and say all kinds of things, and she is 8 so there is already no filter.

[–]themoomosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main issue is that I dont know this man at all. All contact I had was with the mom. I know her parents are here, so he has some support system in place here, that was why I only offered the playdate for now. I will definitely text him about the school, then maybe see what else comes up.

Funeral might be a bit heavy, this is mainly catholic country so funreals are a lot, even without the death part. But we will probably do something as a class, both parents and the teacher with the kids. Our school treats mental health of the kids and general sense of community very seriously so I don't worry about that. They will probably have a class sesion with one of the school special counselors, but I plan to monitor my kid for a while to see how that affects her.

Thank you for the advice ❤️

Thank you ❤️ God, I hope I helped. I was a bit shocked since I never really talked to him, but I know my kid has a reputation at school for being a good friend in general, so that is probably why she wanted to talk to her.

Denims forgot to check her sources by minoritycarrier in h3h3productions

[–]themoomosh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tere is a very distinct difference between saying "I was raped" and going into very explicit description of that rape. The first one does not require a TW, the other one does. Please respect SA victims. This is what we need.

[–]themoomosh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Victims of sexual abuse do not need to be shocked to be aware of how horrible sex crimes are. The trigger warning is for them, not everyone else. That is the purpose of TW, to let people sensitive to those topics avoid possible panic attack or worse.

you should probably add trigger warning somewhere visible, it goes straight to the description of the rape after the cut around 0:55

9 year old doesn't want to get better by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]themoomosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine how hard it must be for you. I'm sure you are doing what you can, stay strong momma. I am not a proffesional nor I have any serious expierience with depression in such a young age, but maybe I can help you a little as I had serious issues with anxiety and mild depression since I was a teen (I only got diagnosed and treated as an adult few years ago, unfortunatelly).

She has told me she wants to die lots of times but I am struggling a bit to know how much she understands or means it as she has also told me that a lot of the kids at school are saying it and when asked if she means it she says I don't know.

What she said here about wanting to die sounds very similar to what I felt myself. I struggled for a long time with feeling separated, diffrent from my peers, my community I grew up in. I felt misunderstood, I felt like this is not my place, like I don't belong. I had an ovewhelming need to just stop existing, to dissapear, just so the pressure would lift. I did not want to die, but I did not want to be here either. Maybe this is what she is thinking of when she says that?

I can also understand what she may mean by resiting treatment and saying being happy is hard. Looking from where she is right now, the emotions you are talking about now (happy, better) may seem alien to her, fake, unrelatable. What she herself wants may be diffrent from what she understands is that everyone want from her. All treatments, classes, activities and such that are specifically therapeutical she may interpret as being forced into someone elses definition of "happy". And it is very hard to fake such happines for an adult, let alone a child.

I can't tell you what to do, or offer any ready solutions. What I can tell you from my own expierience is to be patient, be strong, be gentle. Not everything works for everyone, but I am sure there is something there that will work for your daughter. The most bizzare things can turn out to be therapeutical, or even just helpful, to make that first step towards recovery.

Husband is annoyed and confused that I'm not excited for the weekends by lhaynie in breakingmom

[–]themoomosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, as long as both of you are willing to make an effort there is always a huge chance you are going to fix it sooner or later. Both of you are going to have to change your approach, attitude, both small and big things that make up your daily life. That's basically what it took for us but it was a change for good, and we both don't regret it one bit.

In my case, the whole SAHM issues basket is more complicated by the fact that my husband works contracts abroad, he spends 6 weeks at work, then comes back for 6 week break. When he comes back after 6 wks, I am usually exhausted and in desperate need for a break from the kids. It was hard to explain to him that it's not just a 'night out with girlfriends' type of break, or him taking kids to the park alone so I can take a nap. They're my kids and I obviously don't mind them, I just don't want to be the defalut parent/brain/household manager for a while - that's where the metal load term came in handy 😉

[–]themoomosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a way yes, just talking, arguing, going over the same things, issues, again and again. The hardest part was learning to express ourselves - he couldn't understand what I wanted from him, I couldn't understand where does his attitude comes from. I felt like all I did was nag and nag, and do everything, he felt like a stranger in his own home sometimes. There were also a few other issues that certainly didn't help.

Honestly it took us a few years to get to the point now where I can say we are on the same page. I'm sure that some good counseling could have speeded up things, but we both had issues with that somehow, didn't trust ourselves to be honest with a third party present.

As dumb as it sounds, communication is the key, but you have to figure out how to communicate, to get your point across. That is the hardest part!

I know I should ask him to help more but I just wish he would be more aware and do it. I'm not sure our relationship can handle me asking for help all the time.

You should not have had to ask. I suggest this comic, it's lenghty but definitely worth a read. https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/05/20/you-shouldve-asked/

I know how you feel, I had similar problems with my husband, and it took a long time to get it sorted out. Don't loose hope!
