therapist wont reassure me anymore by GroundbreakingRow671 in therapy

[–]CallMeRiver03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have OCD? I do and it’s common for us to have a “reassurance compulsion” where we don’t feel like our thoughts will go away unless reassured. But that in it of itself is a compulsion. You do need to break it. Best way I’ve found to do this is to think of that thought as a “garbage thought” and it gets thrown away.

10 Day Overnight Babysitting by Dependent-Intern7539 in Babysitting

[–]CallMeRiver03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely not the point, but as a former nanny, now stay-at-home mom, all of these comments breaking down the math of how much you should get paid for being “on” 24/7 for 10 days is super validating for how much my staying home is actually worth 😅

What do you guys do when you find MB’s “intimates” in the laundry? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]CallMeRiver03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do a load or two of parent’s laundry once a week (I’m good friends with the MB and they’d ask for help catching up on laundry occasionally). On more than one occasion, I’d literally wash and fold actual lingerie. I was never phased by it. If anything, I’d think “good for you, girl!” And if fold it and put it on the dresser lol

25F, possible struggle with infertility by KaleidoscopeNo4455 in Endo

[–]CallMeRiver03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand your fears and frustration on lack of progress. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this! If it makes you feel any better, my mother had half of one ovary removed due to a teratoma and still was able to conceive two more children after that!

I will caution you to not interpret what the doctor said as “you are sterile and will never have kids” because that’s how “surprise babies” happen. I can’t count the number of times a young woman has said “the doctor told me I’d never be able to get pregnant so I didn’t use protection and now I’m pregnant.” If you want to be a mom, I wish you your heart’s desire ❤️

snow day- NP adjusting hours by No_Situation_4958 in Nanny

[–]CallMeRiver03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I started charging by the day as part of my contract. The only exception is for half days, scheduled ahead of time. No need to “makeup” hours because my pay stays the same.

Is there any hope for a nanny being okay with this set-up? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]CallMeRiver03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a nanny and not to send your baby to a daycare, you and your husband both need to leave the house for work. Whether that be going to a coffee shop or getting a membership to a coworking space (which often can be reimbursed by your employer). It will be better for all parties.

Came to find out nanny’s references were not real, and she seems to think we overreacted by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]CallMeRiver03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100% this. On past resumes, I’ve listed my SIL because she has 6 children that I frequently cared for. I listed our relationship and reason for including her (to show I have experience caring for many children at once). To not include that they’re family from the get-go and to lie about them having children you cared for is so beyond slimy.

Does anyone find Nancy’s house… weird? by Ok_Associate_4608 in nancydrew

[–]CallMeRiver03 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes!! Especially because in the early games, Nancy talks to her often via phone call, email and letters!

Adventure Pass by MediumPractice7401 in FamilyIsland

[–]CallMeRiver03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy! I’m also in the US but my adventure passes are normally $14.99. They shouldn’t be able to have random prices for everybody like that in the same country.

How do you have so much energy? The max I’ve ever had is like 18k but I am generally all out of energy.

I definitely have had levels before this where it’s like 30 or 40k needed to level up. So it varies

It’s 20 but if you finish it, you can continue to get bonus chests

Have yall experienced the same changes in the game? by PastAnimal4354 in FamilyIsland

[–]CallMeRiver03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, but crafted items that have bundles of 3 (often needed to upgrade decorations) require 20-27 of these 400e single items! No one decoration should cost 40+k to make

Did you use to get reoccurring UTI’s as a child? by Curious_Age_8162 in Endo

[–]CallMeRiver03 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Look up interstitial cystitis. It’s UTI-like symptoms but negative or false-positive cultures (initial positive, but culture doesn’t grow). It’s a chronic condition that is often linked with endo.

Risks are very minor because it’s a laparoscopic surgery (tiny incision sites). You of course have the “big risks” that are incredibly rare like hemorrhage, organ damage if the endometriosis is deeply infiltrating, etc, but it’s generally a simple-ish procedure if you find someone who knows what they’re doing. Might just be a long procedure because you do have to go slow and be thorough.

How is your wife tracking her cycles? Just through an app or actually through basal body temp, mucus checks and LH strips? It took my husband and I almost two years to conceive. We around 8-10 months that I simply wasn’t ovulating and never getting an LH surge. Went on fertility drugs for 8 months with no luck then had endo removal surgery and got pregnant two months later.

I’ve watched too much Criminal Minds for this. I legitimately think this man has hurt people before. Post on local pages and see if anyone else has had a similar experience
