My nephew has meltdowns? It can be embarrassing.

I never had kids and my sister had him in her 40’s. He is almost 6. Not diagnosed with autism. He can be so impossible with her. For example we were at a restaurant and there was a line. Wait was about 20 min. We wanted to wait and so did her son but my sister didn’t want to so we had to go to a different restaurant. Her son cried and yelled how he didn’t want to go there. He starts to walk away from her in the parking lot. She yells at him he cries more. I can’t say anything or she yells at me “stop talking!” We drive to the other restaurant (I’m driving). They are yelling at each other. She is telling him “you have no respect for me!” “You would never act like this with your dad!” They share custody.

We get to the other restaurant and he is melting down how he won’t go there. Our parents are there (his grandparents) and my mom is able to come him down. We go into the restaurant. He seems ok. He loves avocado toast and poached eggs. When it comes he doesn’t like the little lettuce things on it and starts picking it off and throwing it across the table. The server is nice and says she will bring it back without that on it. They bring it back and he doesn’t like that the egg is on top of it and melts down again. “I knew this wouldn’t be good!” he yells and and cries making a scene. My sister takes him outside. A few minutes later she calls me and says we have to leave since he is impossible hitting and pinching her saying he hates her and wants to go to his dads. I pay the bill and get the food wrapped. We go outside and her son is still crying she is yelling at him. He is saying “you are making it worse!” “You’re my enemy!” “You made me go where I didn’t want to!” Our mom tries to calm him down and my sister yells at her to leave and don’t coddle him. (Even though she does in other ways). He won’t leave because he wants to go to the dollar store next to the restaurant but she says no because of how he is acting. Picks him up and he is crying and hitting her. People are watching.

Not sure why it’s like this. With his dad they go places, he is with his cousins and friends. When he is with his mom they rarely go anywhere she just keeps him in the house and they draw and build with legos. When she rarely does take him somewhere she is always fighting with him. Saying his name over and over. Don’t do this don’t do that. You can tell he gets annoyed and rolls his eyes. She also so hypocritical. For example she will tell him she will take him to a gaming place but then doesn’t. Then the other day I mention an event going on and the date was wrong on the website. She got mad at me saying I shouldn’t have mentioned it until I verified the date. Well it was on the website! Not my fault is was wrong. Usually she won’t take him anywhere. Especially anywhere he might see his friends because she never likes any of the mothers.

He is loving towards her also and forgets his meltdowns but when he is mad about something or not getting what he wants he is brutal.

My parents never cared about doing anything special for me.

Now I understand there is discipline and you miss out on a lot of things due parents not being able to work things out but very special one time only things you think your parents would be excited for you and help you experience it. My parent never did. I remember when I was 12 we found out a week earlier my favorite celebrity was doing a book signing at the mall. My friends parent offered to take us. So excited I told my parents and they said they had breakfast plans with their friends and I had to babysit my sister.

They didn’t even try to work something out to let me go. My friends parents offered to have someone watch my sister or let her go with to the signing. She wouldn’t and my parents just her make the decision and I had to stay home and miss it. My parents couldn’t bring her with or change their plans with friends they saw all the time so I can experience a once in a lifetime thing? They also wouldn’t buy me is autobiography (which was like $9 at the time) so I could at least have my friends family have it signed.

Isn’t that a shitty thing to do?

Things are still like this now. My sister rules everything we are 48 and 51. My parents are 80.

My sister has always smoked a lot of pot and gummies and now I’m noticing major changes in her?

She is 48F. Sometimes she can’t stop talking and also mumbling to herself. She will be cleaning and I hear her talking and saying mmm hmmm over and over. Then sometimes she will be overly mellow and not make much sense. She is like this sometimes in front of her 6 year old son. I know she takes something called Avexia to sleep also. They are tablets with 2,5mg cbn • 2.5mg cbd - 2.5mg thc each
100mg con • 100mg cbd - 100mg thc. Could it be mental illness or years of cannabis?

My sister texts her son’s friends mother to ask if her son was in a car seat after the fact?

He will be 6. His dad (they share custody) on his day made the plans that their son would go over to his friends house after camp. The friends mom picked them up. My sister was angry because she didn’t know if the mom would have an extra car seat for him. The next day she asks her son if he was in a car seat and he said yes. Then she texted his friends mother to ask her. I thought that was over protective and rude.

First. It was already said and done. He went to his friends house in his friends moms car and his dad picked him up later. His dad is responsible and probably asked her ahead of time if she had an extra car seat. Then her son said him, his friends, and his friends brother were all in a car seat. He doesn’t lie. Then she still texts the mom to ask her? If I was that woman I would be angry. It’s kind of aggressive and could come off as accusatory.

Undertone. My friend said it so creepy?

I thought it was so lame. It’s all the “creepy” stuff you’ve watched in many other movies. Lights flickering. Things turning on by themselves. “Creepy” drawings”. I was making jokes with my husband like at the end when the figurine was on the bed. “Omg didn’t she put that in the closet?!” “How did it reappear?!” lol.

51F. Since I was 35 I have abnormal periods that then went back to normal and back to abnormal.

Now I just wear a liner everyday because I might not bleed for a month or 2 and then bleed for 2 months straight (usually only heavy 2 or 3 days a month). Last CT scan showed huge fibroids but said “malignancy unlikely”. Is this all part of peri and menopause? The longest I haven’t bleed was 50 days but that was after a month of spotting. I went 30 days with no bleeding then got my period. Now I’m still spotting at 17 days. I think I’m done bleeding (brown blood and then none for a day or 2) then I just went on my exercise bike for a half hour. Went to the bathroom and red blood again.

I notice this happens when I don’t ovulate. When I notice the clear egg white stuff (sorry tmi) then I am usually blood free for a month. Should I worry cancer or is it most likely hormones and fibroids? I have acne on my chin and I am also so annoyed by people now. Like I can’t stand to be around my mother and we were always close. Now her and sometimes my husbands grate on me.

Type 2 diabetic. It’s just getting worse and worse even with my blood sugar controlled. Both feet are numb but sensitive at the same time. Feels like there is sand in them. Stiff and dry. At night I sometimes have to spray cold water on them or ice them. No lotions work. Is there any relief?

I’ve been taking it for about a year (generic brand) and still bad on and off. The last few days though my eyes are heavy. Sinus pressure. Just want to sleep. Itchy throat. This morning could barely get my makeup on because my eyes are tearing. Nose running and it usually doesn’t. It isn’t a cold. I checked pollen and other counts and it says low.

I usually take the shot in my middle upper stomach right side. Last night I did my lower stomach. Barely a blood spot that is usually more noticeable where I usually inject. Took it Thursday night. All day Friday I felt nauseous and stomach noisy. Today so tired and no appetite. Could that all be from the difference in where I took the shot?
