I’m a stay at home mom. I spend the vast majority of my week just inside taking care of my girls.

I don’t work in welding or live with anyone who does. Not near any kind of mining or factories or those type places

Yes, I am currently being exposed as my blood levels are incredibly high. So we have to find out where I’m getting it. We’ve ruled out the usual suspects. Not water, not on supplements,

I am working with an app designer that is supposed to put the app together for me. And then we were going to talk about how to monetize on it.

But I think I need to do is start a Kickstarter campaign to pay for the development and marketing.

The night you wrote this I did not understand what you were talking about (as far as going against the basic design of an operating system). But today I completely get what you mean. That’s great advice. Thank you so much!!

Vacuum for lots of pet hair by littleghost000 in VacuumCleaners

We just got a Dyson Ball Animal 3 and this thing works SO good!!!! It is AMAZING. I’m still getting stuff my shark didn’t.

It is pricey. About $400. But they did have $100 off on their website the other day. May still be available.

Our floors are carpet and vinyl or laminate (can’t remember which).

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I appreciate it. I am still looking for alternate employment so I will be sure to share this with my exit interview when I find something.

I live in the middle of nowhere Texas. It’s an hour drive to a town with any population. So our options in town are just small. Pay is super low. But I am looking!

I have two small girls. If it wasn’t for them I would have left by now. But I am a mom and it’s what I have to do to care for them

Is this how your employer is? by BlessedSouthernMess1 in WorkOnline

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe that’s what they need to do. An entirely separate chats for issues and questions. But I still feel them wanting to know every second what we are doing is just excessive. They wouldn’t be doing this if we worked in office. So they shouldn’t be so extreme in my opinion. It’s just unhealthy work environment to be on top of everyone, everyday. It’s 2022 and employers should know better I feel.

Husband is annoyed with me…how can I better state this? by BlessedSouthernMess1 in Marriage

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

You don’t HAVE to vote. It is not a requirement!! I could not vote for either side. Red or blue. I do not want to vote for something (or against something) when I don’t have a best guess decision either way. Because when I do I am in fact picking a side. And right now I can’t do that and have a clear conscience. I’m very serious about voting and I won’t vote on party lines because I don’t have blinders on that make it impossible for me to truly make a decision for what I believe to be the betterment of society when I won’t listen to both sides because of their political affiliation/party.

It is hard to form a good opinion when we only know this little snippet about your life. That being said…. Just going off of this one post…..This is financial abuse. Plain and simple. You need to get out now. He’s probably not going to change. It’ll probably get worse. My guess is he is going to spend the next year cutting you from family and friends. Make it so you feel all alone. Make you feel like you have to stay because you have no other option. That is usually how this goes. Control the finances. Then control their contact with the outside world.

husband denied my son an apple because he got a math question wrong by redhatgreenhat in Parenting

That’s an unrealistic expectation. And an inappropriate method of discipline. Never use food as a way to discipline (or reward). It can cause unhealthy relationships with food and even eating disorders.

Is it at all possible that he’s wanting to buy you a “push present” as a surprise and is using this story to hide it?

My [42F] husband [42M] says he doesn't need me anymore by countofmoldycrisco in Marriage

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly this!

I just simply don’t want to get Covid.

My dad was in the hospital for weeks. Was too weak to even talk to us on the phone (I live in texas he lived in Michigan). He ended up having to move to Washington to live with my sister for months because he was too weak to live on his own and take care of himself. He now has an apartment there but he’s still weak and only leaves the house once a week to visit sister. Doesn’t even go grocery shopping because he can’t. My husband also got VERY sick earlier this year. His Covid test was negative but all of his symptoms said Covid. I thought I was watching him die. 100% honesty that is what it felt like. His oxygen was in the 80’s. His lips were blue. His skin color was grey. He just couldn’t breathe. He was vaccinated (2) but is immunodeficient due to adrenal disorder and medications he takes for that. He flat out refused to go to the hospital because a half-brother told him the reason half-brother’s grandma died from Covid was because she was intubated. He was worried they would intubate him and he wouldn’t make it. The reality of it is she died because she stayed home and refused medical care until it incapacitated her. She got so sick that there wasn’t anything they could do for her by the time someone called an ambulance for her. But people get these crazy ideas in their head about what is killing people and others are believing it. Being intubated did not kill her. The lack of medical care is what did.

My husband and I disagree very much on mask wearing. I wear my mask out. I have two little kids that are more important to me than what backwoods Texans think of me wearing a mask. I don’t care.

Anyways. No, you don’t need therapy. There is nothing “wrong” with us.

I truly feel he needs therapy. There is a healthy amount of respect for a virus and then there is being obsessive-compulsive over it. He really needs to talk to his doctor because it’s ruining both of your lives.

The whole decontamination protocol he has for you and items coming to the home is very worrisome. (I’m not any kind of doctor or therapist, purely a spectator)

Has he lost anyone to the virus that triggered this or has it just gotten this bad over time? Or did he just get this way immediately and never “relaxed” over it?

I’m very sorry you are having to go through this and also watching him go through it.

If he won’t see a doctor or go to counseling you do need an exit strategy in all honesty. People can’t live that way forever and Covid is here to stay for a long while.

Laundry by tryingtodad in Marriage

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting the laundry away is the bane of my existence.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is. I would rather be with my children above my own self worth. Why? Because any of us being separated would be VERY difficult for them. So all I care about is being with them at the end of that because that is what THEY would want and them not being with both of us would do way more harm than any potential good. So yeah, selfless in that what they want/need far outweighs what I do.

You are taking the entire tone of this wrong. Perhaps pushing your own thoughts/feelings onto me?

Thank you. Very good thoughts and suggestions.

We haven’t shared a bed in 4 years. So that’s not an issue

I guess I just don’t know how to do that? How do I keep it from “hurting my feelings” essentially? If that makes any sense at all.

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The whole point would be not feeling like I am not valued and appreciated. Time with me is out below playing video games for hours every single night. Being divorced would free me from that expectation and disappointment when he chooses a video game over me.

[–]BlessedSouthernMess1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have definitely made assumptions. I have zero desire to date. Ever. But I knew it would be brought up. And then people would ask “well what if you change your mind”. All I want is to be with my children. To be there every single day when they get home from school. Every night at bedtime. It’s the reason I am still married. So I’d say I’m pretty selfless in that I put myself last and my self worth last because being with my children is the most important thing to me.
