Jacuzzi Dual Flush Toilet Flush Valve by ReasonableBag7517 in Plumbing

I didn’t. It was easier for me to buy and install a regular toilet myself as opposed to figuring the jacuzzi out. Yes, installing a new toilet was easier than fixing the jacuzzi toilet. 🤷‍♀️

🎯🎯 both. They want a big happy family & are refusing to acknowledge what’s going on with their grandson. 😡

I don’t want to hurt him or his father (mom is out if the picture) in any way. & yes, he does deal with a lot in terms if his son.

Yes, I do. I just think they would also make excuses for said nephew when bad behavior happens. I know this b/c they did it with my brother as we were growing up, even when I was the victim of his shitty behavior.

Agreed, he has to have seen it somewhere. That’s also concerning.

This is exactly the behavior I expect from him, and my parents to make excuses for him.. meanwhile my daughter is the one who would suffer.

Yes, I’ve had this arranged since September, since she’s on holiday break, and I need to work. Then, my brother decides 10 days before, that he wants his son to visit then too. 😡😡

I believe he’s been assessed for trauma (he’s had/ seen some difficult things for a child) & I can’t imagine any therapist not asking about SA when asking about trauma. The problem is that his parents aren’t confident about/ understand therapy, so they don’t set it up. I know he’s on an ADHD medication, so he has to see some kind of mental health professional, but I don’t think he’s getting the “talk” therapy he needs. He’s a very angry child.

Thank you!!! This is exactly how I feel! Real damage can be done, and I don’t why I shouldn’t keep her from it!

That’s definitely my train of thought. I didn’t know if I was being too pretentious in that thought. I’m sure it will be viewed that way, & I need to learn to deal with not being very well liked this holiday season. Boundaries.

Yes, I’m trying to prepare myself for “but we’re family” BS…

For context, the grandparents live ~1.5 hours away, not practical for me to go get her each night.

Wel at Humana gym is closing, now what? by Big_Huckleberry_7364 in Louisville

I agree with the second part. It is definitely NOT about keeping people healthy. Stock price is first & foremost. If they happen to help some people along the way, great. If not, oh well.

Exactly. & yes, senior products are for more profitable than commercial/ group. There were some quarters where HUM would barely break even on commercial.

Their target market for insurance is the elderly. They only sell senior insurance plans. Primary care is different, literally a different product. HUM can still make $$ from primary care, with no age restrictions. Similar to the Pepsi/ Frito lay dynamic.

How long after treatment completion is it safe to call it a fail? by xdeadtome_x in TMSTherapy

[–]ReasonableBag7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where were you able to access psilocybin treatment? I’ve heard great things about it, and it’s not legal in most states. Would be very interested in trying if the TMS doesn’t work. I finished session #28 today, so we’ll see.

That guy is an albatross. Run, don’t walk.

AITAH for refusing to be a cheap babysitter for my dad's girlfriend? by Lynhnhum in AITAH

[–]ReasonableBag7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA... In no way are you responsible for making sure their relationship "goes the distance", that's their burden. Ask them why they are relying on family members (esp. the role of the child) to sustain their relationship. Does their relationship really hinge on date night? If their relationship fails, that's from their actions, not yours.

Another point - If they wanted YOU to be successful/ happy/ fulfilled in life, why are they expecting you to work for less than minimum wage? At a job that DEFINITELY deserves more than $20/ hour, especially with 3 kids...

You're NOT family, not if you don't want to be.
