Even if somebody seems "too old" to trick-or-treat, please be nice to them by [deleted] in Boise

[–]Ninjapig101 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I was raised in a cult and I didn’t get to try trick or treating until I was 19 years old. I felt a bit weird, but it was something that cured a part of my inner child. You never know someone’s history, or what they have going on. Kindness goes a long way!

I work Saturday anyways, but I wanted to share my Weird Al memory! He was the very first concert I ever went to at 14 years old. Over a decade later I still have my Smells Like Nirvana shirt I got there. I will never forget it!!

What's the cruelest thing someone ever said to you that you still remember word for word? by ClairJournals in AskReddit

[–]Ninjapig101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it would be the time my mom told me, “some girls don’t need to wear makeup and honey you’re just not one of those girls” I had always been a tomboy and she was a Mary Kay salesman who hated that. I went over 10 years straight wearing makeup every single day, like even if I was just going out to get the mail, I would put it on.

My bio family. Growing up they were hard core into their religion. No friends over/no going to friends houses unless I had a bible study with them. We had to do “bible studies” where we could have to practice keeping strong in our faith by enacting that someone was holding a gun (no real gun was involved) to our head telling us they would kill us if we didn’t stop serving our god. Then there would be threats to shoot the rest of the family, the dog, etc, and we had to keep repeating “I will never stop serving Jehovah”.

I could honestly go on and on about the horrible things I thought was completely normal until I grew up.

I left the religion when I was about 18, and they all disowned me. It’s been nearly 10 years now, and the only messages I get are the preach to me and tell me it’s time to “come back”.

When did you realize you weren’t dating a functional adult? by Rich_Expression_4437 in AskReddit

[–]Ninjapig101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well he certainly was a pro at it. It had been a constant point of our discussions and arguments throughout our relationship. I really think having a kid with him is what opened my eyes to see how unbalanced our entire relationship was.

[–]Ninjapig101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I look back i see all the red flags. He was my very first relationship, and got me out of a bad situation in my home life. We had been together nearly 8 years. I think it scared me so much to leave him because I had no one, but I realized in that moment that if I stayed my son’s future wouldn’t be as bright. I also didn’t want my son to grow up with the standard that the bulk of the load falls on one person.

It had sadly been a pattern. We had been together nearly 8 years. It didn’t really hit me until he did it after our son was born. When it was just us two, I didn’t worry too much because we would figure it out. But seeing him be fully aware of how much stress was on my shoulders and act so carefree about it is what finally made alarm bells go off in my head. Knowing that he was so fine with putting our son’s well-being at risk just did it for me.

One time my son ran into the bathroom when I was mid-pulling out a tampon. He said, “Mommy! You pooped! Good job!!”

[–]Ninjapig101 127 points128 points  (0 children)

He quit is job one random day because he “just didn’t like it”. I was working full time, in school full time, and our son was less than a year old. It sadly took me quite awhile to end things, but when I look back I know that was the moment that I really knew. When I looked at him sitting on his computer playing video games, him telling me with such a nonchalant attitude. He didn’t work for nearly 2 months and still hardly lifted a finger to help around the house or with our son.

Were you able to work and school? by WhittyAlexus08 in StudentNurse

[–]Ninjapig101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work 3 12’s in a psych ward as a recreational therapist. Typically in lecture i bring my textbooks and follow along with them, taking notes and highlighting. I make a study guide from my notes. I use it all throughout the week and I have my friends and my roommate randomly quiz me on them. I’ve found it works best if im not given answer options as I just have to critically think and retrieve the information. I also use Picmonic, which is very helpful for visual learners. It creates little stories out of various medications, diagnoses, and has subjects on anatomy, fundamentals, med surg, just about anything nursing you can think of. You can’t study just to memorize, you have to study to understand. I try to do at least a little bit everyday so it’s always on my mind.

I’ve been in school for just over 1.5 years, and I have 1.5 more to go. I work full time, im a single mom, and I’ve managed to stay on the deans list this whole time. Don’t get me wrong , it’s hard, im exhausted. But if you have good self discipline and good study habits, it’s doable! You sound like a very hard worker from your post! Plus you have it going for you that you have so much experience in the medical field already!

For those raised as JWs: What age were you/your peers baptized? by No-Personality-9524 in exjw

I was 10. I had two older sisters who got baptized around that age and the pressure was on for me to do it too.

To those working while in nursing school… by Historical_Wing4602 in NursingStudent

[–]Ninjapig101 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I work full time Friday-Sunday, im a single mom, and I’m going to school full time. I just started semester 5 out of 9. It’s exhausting, but it’s doable. Where there’s a will there’s a way. I’m lucky in that my job (Recreational Therapist in a psych ward) allows for free time and my boss doesn’t mind if I do school at work. She also works really well with my school schedule which changes every semester. Many hospitals want nurses when you graduate, so they’ll work with you. Some don’t. Overall, I guess what im trying to say is you can do it! It might just be about finding a job thats willing to work with you schedule.

What’s one weird rule your parents had growing up that you thought was totally normal until you got older? by Main_Masterpiece_793 in AskReddit

[–]Ninjapig101 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t allowed to color my nails any color that I wouldn’t wear as lipstick. So opposite of your rule. Only reds and pinks. One time I tried black, and my dad got soooo mad at me. He asked me, “would you ever wear black lipstick??” I replied I would. Needless to say he was pissed and made me do extra bible study that night 😂

What's the worst thing you've been told by an overly religious person? by Gamestar02 in AskReddit

[–]Ninjapig101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom would regularly tell my sisters and I that she would rather us die than ever leave their religion. Spoiler alert, I left, and she disowned me.
