What? Hops is not psychoactive is it? Shouldn't matter if you have 4 shots of vodka or 4 beers.

not all beers have the same alcohol content. hoppier beers tend to be stronger than your average american pale lager session beer like pbr

you've got a spectrum from non alcoholic beers that clock in at less than .5%. then light or diet beers that usually are around 3%. your regular budweiser just standard pissbeer is around 4.5%. ice beers around 5%. IPA ranges a lot but the middle of that range is 6%. most craft beers or styles are heavy as well, then you start getting into double stouts and barleywines and belgian tripels that are over 10% and then north of that you're basically drinking thick wine

your average well known microbrew IPA like sierra nevada is typically about 1.5x stronger than high life or other "cheap" beers. so someone who definitely likes to drink a lot of craft beers and does this as a hobby is typically masking alcoholism because six or seven craft beers in a night can equal a briefcase of lovely beer in terms of alcohol

e: oh but the difference here is, hoppy beers make you smell bad. the more adulterants and flavor compounds and poo poo in a drink, the more you're going to smell like it. four shots of vodka will make you smell like nothing, four IPAs and you'll need to shower in the morning

Me [35F] with my neighbors kids[ 5-10?M/F] newly moved into apartment complex. Problems with my own mental illness

quote:

I have severe anxiety and agoraphobic (usually don't leave the house more then 2 times a month.... have gone longer then 2 years in the past) I am in treatment and I have made amazing progress.... I also have 2 children. 1 daughter who is 5 and has autism and a son who is 5 months old. (im 25. mis-wrote title!)

anyways my problem- I live in a townhouse style 2 story. To get from the stairs to the main living floor I have to walk passed a glass door (I have yet to figure out what to put in front of door to block vision... theres no room for a rod) But my complex has alot of kids which is awesome, they ride their bikes outside and play and I can hear them having fun and no problems there. BUT there is 3 or 4 kids who come right up to my door and just stare. (I am thinking they are curious about why my daughter doesnt come out to play- there are many reasons both my own and my daughters condition)

They stare through my window, dont knock, just come close to the door and look at me. I use a mirror to figure out if they are there before I walk past and if they are there I stay put until they leave (anxiety attack style) and at my worst- refused to get off the kitchen floor until my husband got home to assure me they were gone.

I am having a really hard time with figuring out what to do with this- id talk to the parents, but my anxiety stops me from leaving the house let alone talk to a person, I havent gotten that far in my therapy yet. Anyone have any ideas?

tl;dr- Neighbors kids being creepy/making my mental illness harder to live with. Unsure what to do.

Nothing overly funny/schadenfreude about this one, I just can’t fathom not being able to leave the house for two years, or hiding from staring kids on the kitchen floor.

Agoraphobia so intense that you’re afraid/unable to leave the house is like, the super extreme form of that. I’m wondering if something traumatic happened to her.

My first thoughts are that she has 2 kids... one of them only 5 months. drat.

Where is the father in all this? Like I'm sure she tries to be a good mom and all but I just can't see how that is any sort of a healthy environment to raise two kids.

She mentioned her husband coming home from work in one sentence, so I’m guessing she’s a stay at home mom, and he’s out there working.

Oh you are right she did I missed that.

I just can't understand having a second child in that situation. I mean what happens if one of the kids gets sick and she has to go get meds or a doctors appointment? She said she doesn't go out often so it makes me wonder how some things are getting done for these kids. The husband must be picking up all of the slack but jesus.

Stop having kids lady holy poo poo.

It’s a little confusing, because in this post she made, she mentions having to repeatedly go to the laundromat. And a possible reason she needs to get privacy panels for that door she mentioned

quote:

at what point do you give up on potty training?

My daughter is 5. She can use PECS at school, but has trouble at home. We have been working on potty training her for 3 weeks now and I am at a loss....

She is totally naked at home, her choice. She strips herself and then refuses to get dressed. (stays dressed at school though without problems) She can go on the potty, pees and poops with reminding and does really well.... the problem is the consistency...

she drinks well, and we put her on the potty literally every 10-15 minutes.... and sometimes she pees there, sometimes she pees.... on her bed.... like, floods her bed. Multiple times a day..... I literally cannot afford to go to the laundry mat to clean her sheets and matress pads as often as she goes through them- I have spent, so far this week.... $60 on just her laundry (twice/3x a day, 6$ for wash and dry.... adds up fast. we have 2 waterproof matress pads and 5 sheets. She'll go through all of this within a day easily)

She totally understands that she should go on the potty, she gets praise every time.... chocolate rewards, lots of attention etc..... she loves it so much she'll squeeze the teeniest bit out for candy and she looks so proud of herself. She can run to the potty all by herself and come and get us.... she can recognize the feeling, she can say "no" if she really doesnt have to pee. We have a solid routine everytime. We don't engage when she pees somewhere she isnt supposed too... just clean it up and go about our day.

we can't leave the bathroom door open, because she has so far flushed 7 things down the toilet and our landlord is less then pleased with the plumbing bill, she pees all over her bedroom floor and it STINKS in there now.... carpet, not ours..... steamer isnt helping, there goes the security deposit. She consantly reeks of urine.... she gets bathed nightly..... but she also doesnt seem to care if she lays in her pee on the floor.... she has a wonderful rash on her butt cheek from this.

I am at a total loss, to make matters worse.... even if I did throw in the towel.... she'll still strip off all of her clothes and pee whereever she wants too.... and I can't keep her dressed without literally standing over her while shes home, .... I have a 3 week old that also needs my attention (just to be clear, the peeing thing has been happening now for 3+ months and seems to not be in retaliation to having a sibling) She has no medical problems such as uti or anything of the like...

does anyone have any ideas here? because I feel like I am about to go completely insane...

She makes a quick mention of hiding in her kitchen until her husband comes home in the agoraphobia post.

Pretty sure I'd start just rubbing her drat nose in it after like, three days? Three days of a non-stop piss party seems like just long enough for me to snap, especially if I was a sleep-deprived pregnant lady/new mom.

This is why I don't have kids. I would eventually smack the poo poo out of them.

kids can be gross assholes for weird reasons or no reason at all. My friend has a 7 year old that suddenly started making GBS threads himself, just pinching off a loaf wherever he is and sitting in it without reacting until people start noticing the smell and have to deal with it. I saw him bounce a grogan all the way down the leg of his jeans and onto the floor without even pausing his game of minecraft, it was horrible. i hate all kids except my own

Oh yeah some beers are great for that. They sell this beer that is 12% alcohol, very cheap and comes in half liter cans. You can say "i had just one beer" but in reality it's the same as if you had 4 bottles of generic 5% lager.

Why can’t she just paint over the loving glass? Light wash of white should let light through without letting the neighbour kids peek in at piss horror house.

Not that that would solve so much as a tenth of the problems there, but at least she wouldn’t have to hide in the kitchen any more.

I was with her until this. Mental illness is a hell of a thing, and she mentions her kid uses PECS, which is for extremely low functioning autistic kids who can’t communicate otherwise. Neither of those is her fault and having a kid like that is difficult even for people with functioning brains, but Ddlg? Lock her up
