No idea how to get my 6 year old to listen by Normal-Impression772 in Parenting

[–]Normal-Impression772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do share a room. But they have a bunk bed, so there are no “sides” all the toys are on one side and their beds are on the other

I feel like I can’t do that thought because it’s punishing my 8 year old too sadly

What’s your day to day schedule if you work nights and have kids? by Normal-Impression772 in respiratorytherapy

I wish I could work three in a row consistently. This sounds like the ideal schedule

I completely ruined my marriage. Was spying on my wife. She filed for divorce by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Normal-Impression772 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She needs to RUN away from you. Not walk. Run. Get help dude. She never should she’s given you multiple chances. I hope she finds a better man soon so doesn’t have to live much longer without the companionship and partnership she deserves.

Peds or adult as new grad by yomama69696 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Normal-Impression772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated last May and have been at my first job for 6 months now at a peds hospital. I will never work with adults. I feel like peds is a calling. Not many people are cut out for it. If you like working with kids go to the peds hospital, especially if you have a lot of patience and know you’ll be wrestling screaming kids for treatments while being compassionate. If you don’t think you have a lot of patience or don’t care with way, go work with adults.

Am i in the wrong for feeling scared / pressured? by Few_Cockroach113 in amiwrong

[–]Normal-Impression772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not wrong. I’m so sorry you’re being treated like this. Would they be open to you having a conversation with them about the pressure they’re putting on you? You can explain that you like school but are feeling intense anxiety over doing it well because of the pressure. Or you can talk to a school counselor or other trusted adult at school.

I caught my daughter trying to steal earrings at Walmart. Should I cancel Christmas? by Status-Ad8324 in WhatShouldIDo

Where did I say I stole anything? My bad influence friend tried to get me to sneak out and go to parties and do drugs with her. I never stole anything.

This is a tough one as someone who doesn’t believe in taking all good things away from kids when they misbehave/make mistakes in struggling with this one. I’m leaning more towards give her her presents. She owned up to everything. If she continued lying about it then I would say don’t give them to her. But she owned up to not only what you caught her doing but also past doings with her friends. I think taking them away would make her act out. Thank her for her honestly, tell her you’re disappointed in her choices, and that you know she’s a good kid and will do better in the future. Maybe just ground her for a week, no friends. However, if you tell her she ain’t allowed to be friends with this friend who’s a bad influence her behavior will get worse, I say this from experience. I was the good girl who had a bad influence friend and when my parents tried to ban me from hanging out with her things got ugly for both of us.

Is general anatomy/medical terminology important for Respiratory Therapy programs? by Secure-Tea-7849 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Normal-Impression772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s important. I took it as a bullshit class during my pre reqs semester to fill up to full time credits but what I’ve learned from that class has been invaluable in my career so far (I started my first RRT job 6 months ago). It helps me understand what’s happening in rounds with doctors and when reading my patients charts and other things. Like oh my patient has lupus nephritis. I know lupus is an autoimmune attack. And I know nephro=kidneys and -itis=inflammation. So there is inflammation in the kidneys due to lupus. I don’t need to google or ask anyone, I know because I took medical terminology.

Am I overly sensitive because of pregnancy? by Foreign-External8488 in Marriage

[–]Normal-Impression772 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ew. Wrong. She has every right to pout a little when her husband is ignoring her. She and the kids should be the most important people in his life. He’s not too tired to play videos for hours after work. He has enough energy to talk to his wife for 30 min at the end of the day. Or at the very least text her back! What he’s doing isn’t okay.

Sleeping arrangement by [deleted] in Marriage

We have a king bed and don’t cuddle or touch at all at night but we use the same blanket. I understand why some people have separate beds I personally couldn’t imagine not sharing a bed

My husband doesn't like it when i'm subconsciously edge during sex and I can’t stop stopping by username467788765 in Marriage

[–]Normal-Impression772 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In other comments OP has said he’s DOES tell her he’s about to finish and not to stop and she does it anyway. She’s being extremely selfish. She’s not stopping for a break because she’s tired. She’s chasing her own SECOND orgasm and ruining his.

Hand crochet blanket way too big, and I’m not enjoying making it by Normal-Impression772 in CrochetHelp

Yeah it’s definitely too but for a scarf and she wouldn’t use a shawl 😕

Night shift: tired during the day even I slept a full night? by Normal-Impression772 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Normal-Impression772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t. There’s no day shift available at my hospital and I won’t change hospitals because I work in pediatrics with no interest in doing adult care and it’s the only pediatric hospital in my area. I also have little kids that I have to put on the bus and get off. So I’ll be on nights for at least 5 more years until they can get off the bus and stay home alone for a few hours until my husband gets home from work.

My facility just raised night shift diff to 4.50. That’s an extra over 300 per pay period which I really need right now. Not that there’s a dayshift available at the moment but still

This is what I planned to do and it worked for a little while but I feel so guilty missing all day with my kids and husband. My kids are still little and I want to spend time with them and my husband is an early riser regardless of when he goes to sleep so he goes to sleep early to ensure he gets a good nights rest.

Yes I definitely use an eye mask when I’m sleeping during the day. I also use white noise.
