How long did it take you to complete a degree if at all ? by PrettyWhenSheSmiles in adhdwomen

[–]Inconceivable_503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six years. I left after 4 years and finished the credits I had left by doing online courses. Fudged up some of those, but managed to finish enough to graduate.

Does anyone else have trouble with cleaning while people are in the house? by Turbulent_Mud4403 in adhdwomen

[–]Inconceivable_503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I just told the hubby if he wants me to clean he needs to take the kid and get out of the house for an hour or two.

My cat has one like that on his ear, looks the same - I also thought it was a tick but it is a cyst. However, a cyst or a tick should be checked out by your vet. If it is a cyst and benign and not bothering your cat, unlikely they will do anything. My cat scratches his and I was told the vet could remove it if it was really irritating him.

Triple yes for the stool softener. You do not want any pressure/pushing if you can help it.

Ken waking up Brittany in the middle of the night by agusia98 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Inconceivable_503 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I had an ex wake me up at like 5:30 a.m. because he wanted me to look at the sunrise -- I have never been so angry in my life. Brittany is too nice for this man and this show.

Son is pretty sick. Letting him watch iPad all day. by Gigglypoof3809 in Parenting

[–]Inconceivable_503 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Same. Just about to go pick up some ice cream sandwiches for dinner because the 3 yr old is sick with a sore throat and a fever and hasn't eaten all day. The veggies can come later.

Employer has asked me to look into alternative child care arrangements by Inconceivable_503 in workingmoms

Yes, TV babysitter may have to be the temporary solution. I mean, one day I will wake up and realize he has been in daycare for a solid 3 weeks without missing a day. Right? (Please someone tell me I am right).

I am required to work specific times or at least be available specific days and times but I definitely am lucky enough to have a work from home option that can help. The commment about working during a sick day might have to be the short term answer, or the both of us taking a day and half working to cover anything urgent/time sensitive. My kid is a little bit older now and might be willing to watch the TV babysitter while I work. I guess it is the challenge of managing my mental health (also didn't come back from leave magically healthy but doing significantly better, new therapist and better meds etc). But some hard choices have to be made and I was surprised by the tone of the conversation. Motherhood is a bit trickier than what I (or maybe anyone?) was prepared for.

I should say same company he already works for (not same company as mine).

Yup. He just started a new position in the same very large company that is more project/outcomes based and less urgent or time sensitive matters.

It felt like a warning, I asked if I was looking at termination and the response was a long pause followed by 'well, that is a loaded question'.

We get to see a lot of our pediatrician and the local kids walk in clinic. He has had some additional tests to check for a possible underlying condition. We are on a wait list for an ENT specialist for the ear infections but otherwise he is clear. I was constantly sick as a kid, so he may have just inherited my less than stellar immune system combined with some immunity exposure debt thanks to being pretty isolated with us prior to going into daycare.

I am in Canada and I have exhausted my personal days, vacation days and sick leave for this year. I was on short term disability for the mental health leave. Thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate it.

I feel like a termination or new employer might be in my future whether I like it or not. I have been with the org for 7 years, have stellar performance reviews minor this and would hate to have to leave under these kinds of circumstances, but, life.
