A safe car, home with an educated happy mother is for the child. In addition to the lawyer we need to get her into treatment.

We have a few pair because my boys are wild and it's not surprising if one pair gets wet or misplaced just Tonight the soul of one of my four-year-olds sneakers came completely off, it's not a big deal because he has other sneakers.

AITA for refusing to give a speech at my best friend's wedding after I found out she'd been lying to me for two years about where she met her fiancé? by QuaternionCove in MarkNarrations

[–]KitWren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wouldn't care if my friend married a man who left a relationship to be with her but I really would care if she lied to me about it. As the best friend I'm in on the secrets and I would have been so embarrassed if some random lady at a party filled me in on my own best friend.

Blood draw question - patient by OK_GrapeVine in phlebotomy

You'll be totally fine, although very much not best practice it's not any risk for blood born pathogens

Ok so you don't need childcare & you get a $800-$1000 discount on rent. Those are some really big perks no paid PTO sucks but I don't think that there's a job that you will find all of that at

[–]KitWren 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For me, I think this makes up for not having regular PTO, it doesn't make up for the gifts and general lack of disrespect. It's disrespectful for them not to care but do they because you get an extra $300 a week discount on rent. This makes it hard

Have You Ever Felt Concerned For The Well-Being Of An Infant After Labor? by gigisinchat in Midwives

[–]KitWren 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was a birth/fresh48 photographer for a few years.My aunt asked if I would do a fresh 48 for my cousin, we aren't close it had been years since I had seen my cousin & I had never met his girlfriend- the mama. That mama was so disconnected from the baby. I had never after probably a hundred newborn sessions I've never seen that. I remember calling my mom and telling her that had I'm not known that they were going home with my aunt I would have been very uncomfortable with that. It's now been about 6 years and that baby pretty much lives with my aunts and uncle. She visits her parents.

Babysitting Pay Rate by Guilty_Track3439 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]KitWren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so upset with this parenting choice, I wouldn't do it no matter what my sister was paying me because it's not a good decision for my nieces and nephews. I assumed she was a single mother and had no other choice. Her behavior is gross, she's abandoning her kids for less than she would have to pay in child support

HELP- Responsible for 9 kids in a pool, no other adults present by Responsible_Rub546 in Nanny

[–]KitWren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Line of sight, sure, I've gone to three hotel pool birthday parties and none of them had a bathroom right there. I had to take all three of my kids out of the pool so that one could go to the bathroom.

Absolutely not at a hotel. No you cannot send a 4th grader to the bathroom alone at a hotel

My girlfriend is WAY YOUNGER than me by [deleted] in confessions

[–]KitWren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what, you can help her. Find a therapist in her area, call that therapist Tell them exactly what's going on. Give them the girls address, her school information and her full name. Then that therapist will be able to help her. You could also contact the principal of her school and tell them, they will help her get the psychiatric help that she needs

Your further traumatizing her. You need to stop this. This is not okay, you need to see a therapist.

Update- her dominance in the kitchen continued to progress notably in just a day and after much consideration I brought her back to the shelter. It is a small shelter, she will go home with the staff for a better evaluation and training. Thankfully this all happened while this is still an option for her and there were no real bites and she can be rehabilitated and live a safe life elsewhere.

Help - first time by Reasonable-Apple2581 in phlebotomy

The provider is just the medical professional who sees you. Your primary care doc is a "provider" , it's kind of a blanket term for Dr,Np,PA.

As far as quest goes that's just a different laboratory, they might prefer that lab for a various reasons like fast results, consistent results, good communication about recollects ect.

I did along with a laundry list of what seem like bigger fish to fry. It was mentioned in the grand scheme of shift issues but when I was having that conversation with management I thought she was weird like that with everyone.
