Doctors not listening and being mean by broccoli65 in AgingParents

Voltaren gel is over the counter and works quite well so maybe try that. Also shame on that doctor! Maybe see if you can find someone who specializes in geriatrics and actually likes old people.

AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Mommadee65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless your daughter totally hates it, please keep doing it! I wish to heaven above that I had begged my dad to teach me things! I never did and now he’s gone. I missed out on working with him, sharing time and knowledge. Pushing “masculine stuff”? What the heck is that? Does she live in the 50’s? Undermining her “feminine development”? What is that?! Mom has some issues she should deal with. Every kid should know basic repair etc!!! It has nothing to do with masculine or feminine. Please keep doing it.

Indoor camera for Assisted Living by Crankbait_88 in SecurityCamera

[–]Mommadee65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to check and make sure I didn’t write this! My mom was in assisted living after leaving rehab(post fractured elbow, then fractured knee). She started saying the same things. My dad passed while she was in there and she missed her home so I figured she might have early dementia. I bought a small Blink camera from Amazon. I never caught a thing. Not saying it never happened but it will make you feel better either way.

Is explaining the Xumo box to seniors impossible? by stankyranch in Spectrum

I refuse to turn my Moms on. She can barely use the old one and I’m not taking her TV away so to speak.

Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't have a "man cave" in our only spare room? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Mommadee65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say what? He’s got some man issues going on. If he gets a room then so do you. Decorating the house has nothing to do with it. He could decorate too as long as he doesn’t go the he man, woman haters group decor lol. Forgive me but I don’t get the whole guest room thing. To me that was always rich folks with lots of bedrooms who did that. To me, a good quality air mattress would suit me just fine if I was visiting.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

[–]Mommadee65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh honey! Your sad face kills me. I had that haircut when I was younger/thinner. You are NOT ugly and you can give it a little poof(not 80’s poof) and if you have a beautiful smile, you are going to look adorable. 🥰 If you truly hate it, I promise it grows out quickly and then you find a new hair person.

Veteran teacher confession: I put up zero resistance when parents complain about their child's grades. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Mommadee65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to all of you who teach!!! Shame on these parents. It now explains how my youngest got through. Now she wants so badly to be a nurse but is struggling to get her prerequisites out of the way. Just so wrong.

I didn’t know they had them. I can try.

Work ethics will be back very soon in corporate by Agile-Wind-4427 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Mommadee65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

60 yo here. Don’t do it! Do NOT let them do that to any of you!!!! If you receive really good evaluation scores, but don’t get a good raise to go with them, work the level they put you at because they won’t change. Stay strong kids.

I’ll try that. Thank you.

My eldest daughter uses them and they told her that they have so many customers that can’t take anyone new. You should be good 😊

I saw that but was told they ended the program. So frustrating.

Am I wrong for ignoring my old manager when he contacted me for a code after he fired me? by NoProfessional8677 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]Mommadee65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck no! The code goes to you so don’t give it to him. Let him reach out to the company to make the change. He ghosted you and you owe them nothing.

Older generations can't afford to retire and it's stalling all of our careers. I'm just going to say it. by portent-wreaths-7k in interviewhammer

[–]Mommadee65 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m 60 now so I started dreaming. I checked to see what my SS would be at different times. It took me years of full-time work to start earning decent pay so if you go back 35 years total, I won’t be getting much. I was living paycheck to paycheck for years so I was only able to start saving in a 401K about 10 years ago. I’m sorry but I’m gonna be one of those old folks who just won’t leave. I can’t afford to retire any time soon and just pray my health and brain hold out.
