@trojie There are no words. None. I am so sorry.

@enoch27 Personally I just believe in holding off on academics until 7. My kid had a cognitive test and still was in the 99th and 90th percentiles on the verbal and spatial measures. I let him be driven by his special interests and we did a lot of open ended play. So like animals are his...

@enoch27 See, good for you! You know what you’re doing. I didn’t do any academics, he will start academics next year at 7.

@jramos1996 So like we aren’t supposed to ask AITA questions here bc we are always here to support you. You’re definitely NTA. Maybe if he did his share of domestic duties he wouldn’t have energy for drinking smoking and YouTube. You don’t need a reason to go to bed when you prefer. It’s what...

@enoch27 I mean my kid barely has ever had screen time but he also goes through phases. Right now he’s really into his animals again so he wants to watch zoo videos. I did used to spend more time on my house and since the pandemic I’ve taken a functional approach rather than an ambiance approach.

@neogaia777 It’s your decision whether to allow the phone at your home or what limits you put on it. I don’t think it’s healthy to say that they should keep secrets from their other parent or say that the child shouldn’t ask for help, that could have more far reaching consequences. Regardless, I...

@megbot I communicate as little as possible which really helps. I have a communications protocol I follow which helps as long as I follow it. I also have a countdown timer to the moment my child turns 18 and I’m free.

@thomas1985 I think that would violate your medical consent in deciding on therapy, picking the therapist, and scheduling it on your time. She needs to learn that she can no longer act unilaterally. I would cancel the appointment and open a discussion about the issue.

@nguyencuong9102 I mean she should have opened a discussion before jumping the gun. Do they agree on therapy at all? That is the first question, not the notification of an appointment already made! This is a clear violation of medical consent. She should have to go to court to take the child to...
