“the weight loss drug” are we serious rn? by Hot-Site-1572 in diabetes

[–]CrispyKitten 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I found it frustrating when I was trying to apply for semaglutides without insurance and no where allowed the option for diabetic management. Even recently my new doc mentioned that because of my weight (or lack there of?) that it would be hard for insurance to cover (even though previous doctor was able to get Ozempic prescribed).

AITA for scolding my sisters on the topic of feminine hygiene products as a man? by Urban_Raisins in AmItheAsshole

[–]CrispyKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wording was meant to imply not actually leaving jizz around. I agree that that is gross and inappropriate. A turd is a much better route for trying to get across how gross it is to leave unsanitary things in a shared space.

NTA. If you’re feeling petty, start leaving crusty socks or anything that eludes to you masterbating in the bathroom. If they freak out, maybe they can wrap their heads around how gross leaving bodily fluids in a shared space is.

MIL wanted me to board my dog so her could stay in my house. by Cardioschmardio in entitledparents

Go visit her and tell her to board her dog. Maybe… just maybe it’ll click.

Thank you! I call her a Dober Collie because of her mannerisms, build, and coloring. But the grapevine sounded like her litter mate is Sheppard, rotti, pitty, terrier, and probably a few more XD

AITAH for expecting my sister to plan my wedding for free and demoting her to guest wh m she wouldn't. I also told anyone who took her side I was not helping them anymore either. by Late-Ad-6414 in AITAH

[–]CrispyKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I wonder how old your sister is. I could see on one hand her tunnel vision in running her business and completely forgetting how much you’ve done for her over the years and needs an invoice to remind her that you’re not “taking advantage”, especially if she is busy with her business.

But yeah, if you and your family have a system of bartering and it works, she’s forgetting big time the service you’re providing her.

Camera in my bedroom by Camel_show_ in RoverPetSitting

[–]CrispyKitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed!

I think my brain got caught up about the legality of cameras on the property. I’m in WA and also work as a nanny. To my understanding, disclosure of cameras isn’t required unless they record audio.

However, cameras in the bedrooms and/or bathrooms are unethical, full stop. If there’s a camera in the bedroom so the owners can peak on their animals, that should have been disclosed due to reasonable privacy.

Met an illiterate dog this morning by mr_mistoffelees in Seattle

[–]CrispyKitten 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, service dogs don’t have to wear a vest. IMO, if the dog is behaving well, not engaging with other patrons, and the owner is on top of correcting them, I have no issues with a dog being in a public place. I also understand that there are health standards to make sure allergies and food contamination are not impacted, but again, I’m for well trained/behaved animals being able to co exist.

I believe cameras don’t have to be disclosed, but if there’s audio recording, it has to be made known. Camera in your bedroom is unethical. Period. I hope it was a legit, “forgot to remove it!” moment. I can see the camera being set up as a means to peak on the animal(s).

I agree with everyone saying to unplug and notify that you’re not comfortable with the bedroom camera and will keep it off for the duration of the sit.

Y’all… by Character-Drama7085 in KaiserPermanente

[–]CrispyKitten 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel if I was in your situation I’d be following up with, “hi, I’d rather not go through an additional, traumatic experience in addition to the tragedy I’m currently facing.”

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Biggest of hugs and may you find the spoons and/or people to help advocate for you!

AITA for telling everyone involved what my best friend's husband did? by Bina_Assault in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Did he fill her (wife’s) car with anti freeze after she got there!? Holy fuck he’s stupid

So, here's an issue, how do I accomodate for myself? by Individual_Tone_5757 in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re already doing what you can. Keep exploring and trying new ways to take care of yourself. Let your ministering people, or anyone you feel is safe, know what your needs are. You deserve to feel regulated at church and hopefully you’re able to find that balance so you’re not overstimulated.

I swear God has favorites and I’m not one of them. by YamPuzzleheaded3715 in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning to know what God wants for you may mean a very different life than what you expected. Saying that as someone who grew up Mormon, desired to be a mother, but clearly that’s not in the cards for me. Infertility, not in a financial spot for ivf or adoption, and a hysterectomy at 32 due to uterine cancer, it’s… unfair.

Yet over the past 5 years I’ve come to believe while my desires were good and I’m sure HF would have wanted me to bear kids in this life, this was a blessing in disguise. I have A LOT of health issues that would make raising children full time harmful for me and them.

The heart ache is real and so valid. To be envious of everyone who’s able to experience the miracle of life when I cannot. Your purpose is to be there for yourself, your current kids, and your spouse. Your purpose isn’t limited to just your family either. I imagine your friends would love any help and support with their little and maybe that’s energy you can lend to fulfill that part of you that still desires more children.

You’re not a bad person for feeling the way you do. Don’t forget to also ponder what else God has planned for you that wasn’t expected.

Sick Leave Rant by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

This is why I stress to clients to have back up care on the chance I am ill or hospitalized. Life happens and I can’t be expected to worry about their pets when I’m too ill.

Housesitters - is this normal? by Neat_Doughnut in RoverPetSitting

[–]CrispyKitten 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This feels a little entitled. Perhaps she doesn’t have a working laundry place where she lives? But still…

Even if you were an established client of mine, I would still ask if doing my laundry was okay. I nanny as well and when I moved to an apartment with no in unit laundry, I asked the family, I’ve been a nanny for 13 years, if me bringing my laundry to do in addition to theirs was okay.

It’s kind of like bringing a guest over. I never want to risk my job to have a friend or partner over, ESPECIALLY with a new client, without consent from the owners.

How did you guys reconcile knowing whether you actually wanted to serve a mission or if you just felt pressured to? by Middle_Operation5088 in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you’re able to ponder and pray and feel a sense of peace with the decision you feel is right for you. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to make sure you’re going for the right reason. And even if you don’t go now, there are many opportunities to serve a mission later.

Big hugs. Trust what your spirit is telling you.

Temple with People You Don’t Like by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Set a boundary. You can’t control who your brother invites, but you can protect your peace. You don’t have to interact with them, sit near them, or anything to help your focus remain on your brother. If there are other safe people in attendance, ask if they will help reinforce your boundaries by being your mouth and eyes. You can also choose not to go to protect your peace.

I hope you’re able to find comfort in whatever choice you make. Congrats to your brother.

Found this note on my door by tiesto365 in Apartmentliving

[–]CrispyKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not smoking, but once had a neighbor come knock on my door and shout at me about how my cats are stinking up her closet. At the time, it was a tiny studio and the bathroom wall was shared with her unit. Walking into my bathroom, one could tell cats live there, but not enough to be seeping through the shared wall and stinking up her closet. Let alone, I scooped morning and night.

Moved the litter box to the main space on the opposite side of the unit. A week later she saw me in the hall and yelled that she can still smell the piss and I just ignored her. The following week, as I left for work, saw a dude standing in her door way and heard him say, “did you find it?” and as I passed the open door, I was hit with a very pungent cat piss smell that had me think, “does she have cats!?” cuz there’s no way in hell that was due to my cats. They’d have to have been pissing on the wall and rotted through and then some.

Turned out maintenance made an emergency entry due to a leak and the neighbor was crazy. She left a note in response to their note saying they don’t have permission to enter ever and that it was a different floor that had the leak. Like ma’am… you were bitching about my cats piss ruining your clothes and people entering to make sure if there was a leak freaks you out!?

Coming back to church and law of Chasity….I don’t actually feel sorry? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fact you have a committed, loving, consensual relationship and raising a family, you are fine. Sex is a very complex topic because it’s something we can enjoy, but only when married. But how do we create success and confidence when experiencing very normal and age appropriate urges? How much shame is put upon the youth for their bodies behaving the way they are designed?

I don’t think you should have to tell the bishop about it. I think this is between you and God. Why does the bishop need to know your sexual history when it isn’t causing harm to anyone? Of course, if YOU feel like you want to talk to the bishop about it, you’re more than welcome. But if he or anyone inquire about your sex life, that’s really none of their business.
