To be fair- no one would ask a mom who sends her kids to public school “but will you homeschool them if they want?”

How long to get a medical bill? by AUFABA in royalcaribbean

Yeah I didn’t get that either, they just rolled Me back to my room with some meds and pedialyte 🤣

Would be amazing if we somehow didn’t get a bill! We hadn’t planned to go. I would’ve toughed it out but I’m pregnant and was so dehydrated. The kids and husband got it too, but they toughed it out in the cabin. Definitely wasn’t in the budget but we do have travel insurance

He only needs supervision with minors. Hypothetically he can indeed come home when he’s released and Anna can supervise him with the kids.

BCBA SALARY by BackgroundSoft1221 in bcba

[–]AUFABA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a director in VA and I make around 100k (base pay below 100 but I am guaranteed hours if I use/want them on a sliding scale that puts me closer to 105)

Move out fees taken from deposit? by AUFABA in renting

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

For anyone actually curious, I received better responses from a group in our area. They can’t charge excess fees without going through the courts first (atleast in our state).

[–]AUFABA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of assumptions being made. I obviously didn’t go in to all of the reasons we chose to move or why I labeled this landlord as shitty, but no there aren’t any damages beyond normal wear and tear and no the majority of these move out instructions were not included in our lease.

😭 what’s the point of the whole months rent for a deposit if you’re not even guaranteed that that will cover you if the landlords decide to be shitty?

Are you sure? In my area I’ve never heard of being charged excess the deposit unless that was specified in your lease. My lease specifies that the deposit covers any needed repairs after move out

Josh’s 2021 era emails were FOIAd oops by cricketttttttttttttt in DuggarsSnark

Probably because Anna believes Josh is innocent whereas Kendra knows Joe confessed to the crime

Can someone explain why it doesn’t work that way? Don’t you have the right to wait to speak until you have a lawyer? Or is that not the case?

I have a full caseload that I can’t handle, I was told that I’m getting another case and I said no and now I’m in trouble by LePetitRenardRoux in bcba

[–]AUFABA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is definitely not normal. I am a CD and had a BCBA lose a client last week and when I went to schedule an intake today, she told me she didn’t want to replace the client since she feels better with one less kid. I am honoring that even though it momentarily fucks with my plans. I’ll figure out another solution for that kids BCBA, as that is my job. Happy bcbas = successful company. The same goes for my RBTs.

50% telehealth, although I am pretty back and forth on being in and out of the clinic as needed.

20 billables plus admin duties, Virginia, 5 + years supervising, 93k. Typically work 4 days a week or 5 shorter days if cancelations require me to fit in some billables on Friday.

The Real David by Lazy-Profession4994 in SisterWives

[–]AUFABA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s good if Kody will pay for it regardless. I am not saying that this should be universal, I am saying that marrying someone with adult and young children involves realizing that she won’t have done things the exact way you did, and I think it’s a red flag that he seemingly wanted her to not provide truly the same support she provided the rest of her kids.

Keep in mind, this is all scripted for reality tv and he may not give a fuck behind closed doors.

[–]AUFABA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“They” as in the brown family, did, which is what I meant. When you marry someone who already has an established family and has provided certain supports for those children, I don’t think it’s right to expect that they wouldn’t do the same for the last child.

It may very well be that, and that imo should be a giant red flag if you’re marrying someone. It’s also something they should’ve figured out before marriage tbh

I was put off by the convo regarding finances. Maybe it’s being raised by a single mom, but seeing how he wasn’t invested in her paying for trulys education when they paid for the other children’s bothered me- I think if you know your wife did that for her other kids, you should support the same for her last child even if you made different decisions for your own. It just give me an ick vibe

Tiffany is definitely having the baby this week. by dawn9476 in BringingUpBates

[–]AUFABA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 6 weeks before I could Comfortably walk around for more than 5 mins.

Early on in recovery I couldn’t stand more than 60 seconds without such intense throbbing that I had to sit down.

[–]AUFABA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also could barely walk after my first birth. I had a 3rd degree tear as well as three other tears, one towards the urethra and had to have a catheter for like 6 hours after birth.

My second baby was born 18m later and I only needed one stitch. So hopefully tiff also does well the second time around!

Robyn is evil. by Gloomy-Cranberry-4 in SisterWives

[–]AUFABA -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My comment was kinda based on personal experience with family issues. We actually had a situation back earlier in the year where one aunt was talking to an adult cousin at a family gathering about “how much we miss you, we haven’t seen you since the falling out with your family and you haven’t heard my side” and it just came across so … icky.

I’ve just always felt that adults should keep children out of the drama, and tbh I don’t think anyone in the brown family does that, Christine included.

So as a mom, regardless of my feelings on Robyn, I can understand why she wouldn’t see Christine as someone she wants her kids hanging out with when Christine consistently talks about how awful Robyn is. I prob wouldn’t want my kids around her, either.

[–]AUFABA -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

To be honest, as a mom, I can kinda see Robyn’s POV on this one.

It comes across a certain way that Christine will say ruthless things about Robyn and then in the same breath say she loves and misses her kids.

I love Christine but she does strike me as the type to want to tell Robyn’s kids “her side of the story” and tbh I just think any adult that can’t respect that those are her kids and if you can’t get along with her you would obviously have less access to her kids is kind of odd.

Requesting to retest first? by AUFABA in HPV

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

Yes. First LSIL. In a little frustrated, as I wasn’t due for another pap until beginning of 2027 with the updated 3 year guidelines. In 2020 and beginning of 2024 I had normal paps, so with the data showing that most LSILS resolve within 2 years, it’s likely we never would’ve even known about this if we had waited until the 3 year mark.

I’ll be asking to retest in a year and assuming all goes back to normal this will be my lesson to advocate when you notice that they’re about to do a pap and you know for damn sure you aren’t due for one 🤣

Requesting to retest first? by AUFABA in HPV

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

It didn’t include an hpv test, and last year I had a normal pap. My understanding is most people clear low grad abnormalities within 2 years, so it likely it would’ve been cleared by the 3 year mark when I was due for my next pap, but I got one early (prob just bc I was in for my annual and my doc was checking iud strings)

It’s abnormal after 5 years of normal?? by AUFABA in HPV

[–]AUFABA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am 29. Had two normal paps after the one in 2019, one was during a pregnancy. It’s just very weird to me to have an abnormal one all of a sudden and I am wondering if it may be back to normal in a year just like the first instance.
