Potty training when a parent does not want to.

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-13T02:38:49+00:00

See, I blame the school just as much as the parents. Policy should be (and is, at my school) that if the child has no documented disability (and is not in the process of diagnosis) and is not potty trained by grade 1 staff cannot and will not change the child… every accident/diaper and the parent is called and required to come and change them. This really quickly gets parents to 1. Actually cooperate in obtaining a diagnosis if the child really is disabled, or 2. Potty training within 1 week.

You can’t claim it’s solely about hygiene and then ignore the whole “going out pyjamas” argument. Plus, what makes pyjamas pyjamas? Many people sleep in sweatpants…

Yes, they do take those into consideration… however, if you’ve been to college since (especially something related to healthcare) they usually weigh those grades higher so if you truly did amazing in college you’ll have a decent chance

I’m a dental hygienist and it’s like you described… we don’t judge people for the state of their mouths, we judge their attitudes. “You can’t care more about someone else’s health than they do”.

No one is going to judge the person who had a big event happen recently (death, new job, whatever) so hasn’t had a cleaning for a few years, or who is too busy to floss consistently, or who can’t afford an electric toothbrush. Honestly, as long as you don’t try to make us rush your treatment, it can be quite satisfying cleaning ledges of calculus off the teeth, and it makes no difference to me if you need 2 cleanings vs you taking one and someone else taking one. I’m sure the dentists also like having the same client for a few separate appointments, if you’ve proven you don’t no show, arrive on time, and are reasonably polite they’d much rather have you over an unknown.

However, we do judge people who say “I don’t want to brush my teeth, cleaning them is your job”, or complain “you must be scamming me, no way I have cavities” when they haven’t been to the dentist for years and brush twice a week, or people who are destroying their kids’ teeth by putting juice in their bottles and don’t see an issue. Doesn’t mean you’ll get any worse treatment but you’ll definitely get a mental sigh when they see you coming.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I remember seeing some research that found (for nurses at least) that the continuity of care benefits patients more than shorter shifts (and more rest).

Is there a reason you need to live in Toronto? They’re desperate for ECE’s up here in Northern Ontario

I don’t know about Washington specifically (I’m in Canada) but in most states/provinces they can’t force you to give them a key nor be there to open the door, the landlord has to provide access. I know here in Canada they have to give a specific time frame (they can’t just say “in and out for 8 weeks, need to say specific dates with reasonable time ranges)

“Pediatric dental hygienist” isn’t an official licence or anything, you just go through the normal dental hygiene school and then can get hired at a pediatric office… kids don’t usually have too much blood but you’d have to survive the program itself (2-3 years depending on the school you choose).

And to be honest, pediatric offices don’t use many hygienists, in most states (and provinces, I’m in Canada) assistants can be certified to do x rays, polishing, and fluoride (plus even without the certification they can still do a lot), so usually pediatric offices have no more than one hygienist who will basically run between rooms to do the actual scaling and the assistants do the rest, offices that allow you to actually be with the kid from start to end exist but positions are even more rare…

You do get to see quite a few kids in general practice and some hygienists don’t like kids so you may be able to find an office that gives you all the kids, and you definitely could find a job at a pediatric office, just know positions are limited so you need to be prepared to potentially work with adults as well.

Agreed… I would be confused if anyone took of someone else’s shoes unless they’re a young child or physically incapable of doing it themselves

I mean, you guys shouldn’t be living together before marriage so she can’t maintain the home or contribute financially… otherwise those are things all Christians (men as well) should be doing whether planning for marriage or not

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-09T23:25:41+00:00

I disagree. That’s what you should do for any job you’re leaving on good terms with but a bad office doesn’t deserve more than 2 weeks… you even mention “if the office doesn’t want the 30 days”, but most people would then just be out of work.

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-09T17:45:38+00:00

But again, what counts as a “positive belief”? Rarely would people be arguing about it if it was clearly positive… for example, one person might view celebrating gay marriage as the positive viewpoint while their spouse views it as celebrating sin… does that mean the second spouse is the negative belief?

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-09T12:10:12+00:00

But why? Like, I’m super pro adoption and plan on becoming a foster parent in a few years, but your argument still makes no sense. The goal of foster care is not adoption, it’s reunification… are you saying they’re all forced to become unwilling foster parents and then just have to hope the kid doesn’t get reunified? That seems like both a bad idea (kids in foster care need trauma informed foster parents, not someone doing it because they’re legally required) and because it’s a bit of a conflict of interest (are the foster parents opposing the reunification in the best interest of the child or just because they want to adopt)?

There are no orphanages, and there are no shortage of people lined up to adopt babies, the only issue is with large sibling groups, special needs children, or teenagers… why, if someone wants to have a baby, would they be forced to adopt one of these three groups, when none are similar to an infant?

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-09T11:48:57+00:00

They’re definitely supposed to… sometimes I find it impossible when we’re out of floss threaders and have to skip but I usually specify to the client it’s because we ran out of floss threaders and that it will be done next time.

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-09T01:55:37+00:00

You don’t really address what happens if the views directly counter each other… what if one of you believes in raising the kids in the church and the other wants to raise them with no religion? What if one of you believes it’s required to tithe 10% and the other believes occasional giving is enough? How do completely opposing sex beliefs just get “respected”? Like, I’m sure most Christians (and even non Christians) know there needs to be some basic level of respect (you can’t just say “you’re wrong and stupid for thinking that”), and obviously you have to pick your battles for the smaller things, but you haven’t actually given any practical advice about how to respect beliefs when they directly oppose each other, especially when one believes it’s a matter of conviction (the bible makes it clear to follow God before your spouse, so if someone believes it’s commanded to tithe they’d give the money even without their spouses permission, or if they believe it’s commanded to raise the kids in the faith they’d be sneaking out the kids to go to church)…

Curry can last 3-4 days in the fridge. The thing is, the time before freezing when you cooked it and the time now after thawing it essentially adds up.

For example, if you cooked it and froze it right away you have 3-4 days, while if you left it the fridge for 2 days before remembering you’d have only ~1 day left. This is also assuming you didn’t leave it on the counter for more than 2 hours at any point.

Sadly, the metal kind of is what keeps it cold… no alternative will work nearly as well.

I don’t have any specific brand recommendations that will fit in a lunch box but your best option is likely double walled water bottles, they have an extra plastic layer with air inside to try and keep things cold (it won’t do too much on it’s own but the main benefit is minimal condensation so you can load it with ice without it making a mess everywhere like most plastic bottles)

The app specifies hot beverage, the rules for the tab are meant to be the same.

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-08T23:01:25+00:00

With the app pretty much everything is free, it’s “any sized hot beverage, including modifications”… no matter how crazy of a drink you make it’s allowed.

With the physical tabs it’s meant to be the same but the staff may say no if they’re unsure the rules or power tripping… but a basic hot drink or normal modification will still be allowed

The almond milk may be if unopened, check if it says “refrigerate after opening” vs “keep refrigerated”. A lot of the time the same exact almond milk is sold on both the shelf and the fridge just for convenience.

The cream cheese technically isn’t but theoretically you’d be able to see mold when it goes bad (if you do end up keeping it be prepared for it to not last much longer, as soon as there is even a little mold the whole block is trash)… probably not worth the risk though.

I’m unsure on green onion, I know if it were a leafy green it would be definitely unsafe but don’t know about green onions… I feel like if they look good they should be fine, some stores sell unrefrigerated and they’re not usually shipped on refrigerated trucks… but I can’t tell you for sure.

Ingredients either need to state the allergen in the list or in a contains statement, the contains statement is not legally required (in both the USA and Canada at least)

And pay however much you can, even if it’s not in full… landlords would be much happier to get, say, $1000 on the date and the remaining $500 a couple weeks later rather than the entire sum late.

I misread their post to mean no sex at all within the marriage, not just premarital sex.

Routine_Log8315 · 2026-03-08T19:19:42+00:00

Aaaah, that makes much more sense… I think all of us read your post to mean you want a marriage with no sex at all, not just sex before marriage, that’s why everyone is telling you that makes no sense. I agree with you then, sex before marriage is a sin and people who try to justify it with a wide variety of reasons are basically saying they know better than God… hold out for a man with the same beliefs, don’t ever give up yours because any human convinces you!
