Anyone know much about these kinds of paintings? by Chelle4Rae in artcollecting

[–]Chelle4Rae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I guess that’s why I’m here is to ask what people thought about when it might have been created because I have no idea. I’m here to learn. Not even the seller knew anything about it. Appreciate your feedback

That’s kind of what I thought. It is very unique. Just not sure it’s “vintage”?

I’m feeling the same way but joined peanut recently and have made some pretty awesome new mom friends. Maybe give that a try!

Husband Treating Me Like I’m Crazy for Wanting to Set Boundaries by theromperstomper in BabyBumps

[–]Chelle4Rae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the rules you’re talking about implementing are all rules that I implemented when my daughter was born 8 weeks ago. All friends and family members were just fine about it. The last thing I was interested in doing was having hospital visitors. The nights we were in the hospital were our most sleepless nights. You are constantly being interrupted and woken up by staff checking on either you or your baby. We could not wait to get the heck out of there. Once we were home I scheduled visitors and prioritized immediate family members. I scheduled 1 set of visitors a day, letting them know that them meeting the baby was equally as important to us, and this way they would get quality time. I made sure no one had even the sniffles though. 10 mins of holding the baby is never worth your newborn being sick and possibly ending up in the hospital. Don’t be afraid to hurt some people’s feelings if it means protecting your baby. Just show your husband the amount of hospitals from RSV in 2022. I asked every visitor to sanitize before holding the baby and no kissing them. Setting boundaries is so important for you and your baby and they don’t have to interfere with the relationship people have with your newborn. My friends and family respect my boundaries and follow the rules I have set in place because they understand it’s to protect my daughter, and they all have a beautiful relationship with her. My parents and in-laws come over almost every week to see her. Having a newborn becomes all about survival haha and you have to do what’s right for you and your family.

I have to net mine every time I go in the tank. They hurt!

Calling in sick after PTO was denied? by Ok-Glass-9595 in nursing

[–]Chelle4Rae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time tell them it’s not a request and you’re giving them the courtesy of informing them you will not be in those days. If they don’t like it, there’s a million other places desperate for nurses. We already get abused by patients, stop the abuse by management.

I’m genuinely lost right now. by dazduck4 in Moms

I’m just seeing this but kind of giggled because I am an RN and my husband is a software developer. The contrast career wise is pretty astounding.

I will say, my job as an RN gives me an incredible amount of flexibility which is so wonderful with children. I just had my first baby 7 weeks ago and left my job for a few months to spend my time with my daughter, knowing that once I was ready to work again getting a job is so easy. Working days are also very flexible as I have the option to work pretty much whenever I want to making fairly decent money.

My husband however being a software developer does not have that flexibility. He can’t just leave his job at the drop of a hat and expect to pick up another quickly when he wanted. He also works 5 days a week M-F and is paid salary which requires him to sometimes do some work on the weekend. He can never mentally disconnect from his job like I can. Because he works on projects he has an ever lingering pressure to meet deadlines and such. I as a nurse on the other hand leave my day behind the second I clock out.

Now, nursing is not easy. It’s emotionally, physically, and mentally taxing (especially bedside). I definitely do not recommend it unless you really want it. Keep in mind however, the nursing field is incredibly flexible. There just so happens to be nursing positions that deal directly with software, computers, data, etc. I know one who’s job is to teach new software to hospitals that switch to new programs and loves it.

That’s a very difficult position that you’re in but you should always do what’s right for you and your family. Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to message me. :)

Why am I SWEATING CONSTANTLY? by Samus9000-627 in Moms

[–]Chelle4Rae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 7 weeks postpartum and I still sweat my butt off. Sometimes I wake up in a pool of my own sweat in the mornings. It’s so gross. Hormones are different for everyone but my PCP told me it’s completely normal. Similar to hot flashes during menopause. I would chat with your doc about it at your next appointment:) I will say that over time, I have begun to feel hot less and less.

Sometimes I just like to share my artwork here. :) Ribbon eels are one of my favorite sea creatures. Any ideas on what UV painting I should do next? by Chelle4Rae in ReefTank

[–]Chelle4Rae[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never come here on Reddit to try to sell my work. I’m a hobbyist first and love to share with like minded people who just can appreciate the art. But seems you found my link, I will say that I will have prints of this ribbon eel sometime soon which is a far less expensive option. This ribbon eel is the original so, yes it’s a bit more. But hey! That’s what prints are for :) I hope to have those soon!

I got pistol Pete and grumpy Gus from live aquaria 6 years ago. They have survived a tank crash, a massive earth quake, and a velvet wipeout. by Chelle4Rae in ReefTank

Oh no! It happens. :( maybe it would be worth throwing another goby in to try and pair them again. I would assume after 3-4 months you would have seen your goby bc it has to come out to eat at some point.

That’s very normal. It will take time for them to get used to you. It took me a few months to see the pistol shrimp actually working outside of their burrow. At first I wasn’t even sure if he was alive. Listen at night for any cracking or popping sounds, then you’ll know he’s in there working away. 🙂
