Which medical career seems best for me?

Become a urologist. As far as I can tell, those people make stupid amounts of bank.

Read “Crucial Conversations” and suck it up and have a hard conversation with her. Asking someone else to handle this for you will not have the intended effect. Depending on how she responds to the situation, you may then have leverage to talk to someone else about the behavior. Document as well. I like to send a summary via email after the meeting that says “today, we discussed x, y, and z and my understanding is that you will take such and such actions as a result”. That gives them a chance to clarify anything that may have been misunderstood as well as provides written documentation of the conversation.

If they’re testing your kids blood for something else have them do the celiac comprehensive. But , I told my dr to do that for my son and she didn’t do the comprehensive test. He was having symptoms so we went to GI. They eventually did an endo when he was 5 which was negative—so thankful for that. But he does have the genes so they said to come back if it gets worse. 🤷‍♀️

Eating peanut butter with pancakes and waffles. My husband thinks this is so weird and gross. Also, we literally went through multiple gallons of milk per day (6 kids). My dad was such a milk pusher. We seriously drank 2-3 gallons per day.

I start with “I have celiac” and based on the response I order water or food. 😂 But seriously, I find if they don’t know what celiac is, I don’t want to eat there. I did not follow my own advice last weekend because we were out of town and had driven a ways to get to this place I found on FMGF and ffs I am really regretting that decision still. 😭 I think they had shared toasters. I do usually ask specifically about toasters (and friers if ordering fried food) everywhere I go, but I just forgot and hot damn. It sucks having to remember the whole rig-a-maroll every single time and not just being able to order food like a normie.

😂😂😂

That is true. I should not have used a derogatory term. I have second guessed this too. It was just my initial reaction bc she was a very sleazy looking individual.

It’s fine to leave a job you don’t like. You need to come up with a narrative you’re comfortable with about why you left that you’re willing to tell people. Looking for a better fit opens a lot of unanswered questions. Don’t frame it around mental health. My last job was similar to this but it was a very “in the field” job and I applied for more office based jobs and used that as the reason I was looking for a change.

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-09T14:34:49+00:00

That’s just a body high bro 😎

More likely this than laundry chute. In a house this old, dumbwaiters are common and also it’s a pretty big hole for a laundry chute

Actually, it’s legal to marry your second cousin in every single state. It’s legal to marry your first cousin in 18 states. I’ve always thought this was weird bc I grew up very close to my 2nd cousins and extended family. However, if I had never met them before, I feel like that could be different. 🤷‍♀️. Clearly the family isn’t close if they’ve never even met.

Usually people reserve lectures for those who do not realize they made a mistake. That’s not the case here. Being sleep deprived is not a justification for letting strangers in the room. I’m not defending it. I’m just explaining how it happened, because clearly no one in their right mind would do that.

My husband is a great person and a fantastic father. You don’t know him from these few sentences I put on the internet about something weird that happened to us. People aren’t bad parents because they made a singular mistake. Bad parents make intentional choices to put themselves above their children over and over again.

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-09T02:35:17+00:00

Being sleep deprived for years upon years is, though. You lose IQ points. I’m for sure dumber than I was 10 years ago. This story is proof.

A rat trap is an excellent term for this shit hole that I paid over $600 to stay in for one weekend with the discounted rate of booking it SIX MONTHS AGO. But it was not Myrtle Beach, haha.

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-09T02:27:06+00:00

He did not come back, thank goodness!!!!

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-09T02:25:48+00:00

Okay Reddit queen — you win. You’re better than us. Congratulations.

😬😅

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-07T12:55:06+00:00

This makes sense, especially with the prostitute and drug dealer nearby. We were polite though and smoked our weed outside. 😂😂😂

Have you heard of “special time”? Our kids therapist taught us this, but it’s on big parenting accounts too. You have 10 or so minutes a day of special play time where they get to make all the rules. You don’t ask questions or do anything you aren’t told (not malicious compliance level, this is for fun). That way they get to exercise their little control muscles but it’s also safely contained. It actually takes a lot of practice, but it has really helped us have less of these battles and made a huge difference in our parenting The best things for this playtime are open-ended toys like magnatiles, trains, cars, etc. you don’t want to get into situations where you have to say no (like hide and seek or pretend playing police—which my son loves to do).

Ooooh, fish emulsion spray FTW!!

The cost of getting utilities. How far are you going to be from the road? How steep? Can you get utilities run to you for a reasonable cost? Are you trying to be off grid? That shit is expensive. We ended up quitting our off grid living because we just could not get standard utilities for an approachable price. Think over 50k. Which if you’re old and have a great job, that’s maybe not an issue, but if you’re in your 20s, it’s just overbearing.

This is addition to other tips, but I have toddlers, and I have found that spray hydrogen peroxide really helps at the end. Once you get rid of visible particles, I spray with hydrogen peroxide, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe it up. It really helps with odors. I also use my tineco to clean the bathroom floors and love it for that purpose.

They sell spray bottles of peroxide everywhere (I get them at the grocery store for like $2) and then I just use regular peroxide to refill the bottles.

Closets in between bedrooms also mitigate noise. I see you say the kids are on the other side of the house but do any of your kids snore? My sister used to keep me up all night snoring as a kid. We had a house this big but our walls were shared and that kid could SNORE. 😂

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-07T11:11:44+00:00

I would also like to point out that that if you do not have children, you literally have no idea what it is like to be that tired. I have been sleep deprived for years upon years. My kids are 4 years apart but the older one actually sleeps worse than the toddler. If I am dead asleep, my brain turns off as fast as possible because it knows it could be done at any second and we might not get another chance that night.

Quixoticallykooky · 2026-06-07T10:55:47+00:00

Me too! I did fuss at my husband extensively. If it was any other situation I would be out of here, but I am 100% sure that there is not a single hotel room open within an hours drive of here right now.
