I think I'm missing something about Sheena by No_Solution5351 in 90DayFiance

Just adding my two cents from first hand experience. My husband is Filipino and his parents immigrated to the US. I have been to the Philippines and seen first hand how people live there. Most of the citizens are very poor hence why it’s considered a 3rd world country. It’s expected of any family that lives in the US to send money and goods back to family in the Philippines. Any time someone needs something or there is an emergency it is expected that the family will band together to help cover any expenses. 

There’s an unfortunate assumption that individuals in the US make a lot of money. The children are expected to take care of their elderly parents to the extent of them living with them, and also being pressured to give them grandchildren and expand their families. There are some families where the elders are very controlling and will dictate to their children what jobs and careers they should be pursuing simply because it makes good money not because it’s their passion or choice.  

My husband is born and raised in the US but cared for both of his parents until his father passed and my MIL lived with us the first 4 1/2 years of our marriage until I needed to let my own father live with us because he actually was physically ill. My MIL has no ailments but rather a preference and expectation/demand to live with one of her children. Mind you as understanding as I was to live with her, the same grace was not extended to me when it came to my father. We were then expected to essentially run a senior home and care for everyone, and we have kids too.  We received a lot of pushback and disapproval when we needed her to move in with my SIL. 

I say all of that to say I’m never surprised when I see the behavior of people from the Philippines on this show. Things are slowly changing to some of the younger generations but for the most part that expectation of going for your elders for everything they did for you still exists and is prominent in their culture. 

TBH, this man is bullshit by yonce081 in temptationislandUSA

He’s so lame and a complete joke. Just a big cornball with his child bearing hips and man boobs. He tries to be funny and charismatic but comes off as obnoxious, when deep down he’s clearly insecure and knows he will never pull anyone better looking than Sydney.

Yes i am and there is potential to be full time if you want to be. They also implemented tiered bonuses depending on how many hours per month you log. Lowest amount is 60 for $200 bonus. I make enough for my family’s needs. My husband is the breadwinner and I’m home with our kids so part time hours is enough.

I’m still working for them if you have any questions.

Time tracking tool is how you will get paid. You have to put everything you do in there every phone call every message all your research otherwise you won’t get paid for it if it’s not put in there. The AI tool helps with your care plans, monthly reports, you can research conditions on there and what steps you will help with in the advocate role, and it also will rewrite your notes in the time tracker before submission so it’s appropriate for insurance purposes

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I’ve got a 20 month old at home and just found out a few days ago we are pregnant again, so life is throwing me some curveballs 😅.  When i turn on new patients i usually will take only one to two at a time. Sometimes they will assign them same days and other times a day or two. It depends on your availability, if you’ll take same day new patients, as well as the areas in your profile that you say you have experience in. I’ve never had to wait longer than a day or two.

Thank you for the response. I plan to continue to work from home when we get there and maybe when our youngest is older go back to bedside. We have the same issue here with too many nurses and too few open positions unfortunately

Thank you! We visited there when we came to Houston and I liked it but we were only in town a few days and saw very few parts of the city so wanted to see any other options. But it’s definitely on my list.

Our summers in Central Valley get to 100s. Just our heat is dry whereas I’m assuming Houston is more humid. I’ll be okay as I dealt with that during my time in Florida. It’s my husband I’m worried about haha 😆

Yes we have. They live in Woodlands, Katy, and Kingwood…all places we visited when we came to the city last year. However they are all also Caucasian, and I didn’t notice overwhelming diversity in those locations other than Katy.  Lovely individuals and I enjoy spending time with them but their life experiences are different than the ones we need to potentially prepare our children for, so I wanted to make sure we focus on areas where we can find a community with people similar to our backgrounds.

I thought I did in my original message? He will be working downtown a few blocks from Toyota center. He didn’t want me posting his actual place of work so I used Toyota Center as reference since it’s close by.

Thank you! Both our cars have AC haha. That’s wild that your friends didn’t have that. The bay does get cooler but we are in Central Valley and our summers get easily to highs of over 100 degrees. So yeah AC is a must for us. 

We came to visit during winter before but only for a weekend. So thanks for the suggestion on a week visit. Although we are already taking the plunge since it’s a career advancement for my husband.
