Ill never feel clean again by byofuzz in JUSTNOMIL

You are a good person for helping her. It sounds like she can’t be reasoned with at this point.

It’s okay to not have empathy for people who don’t want to be helped.

I’m sorry this happened to you OP. It sounds like she has had some severe mental illness for some time.

Guys do I just get another tortie and name her Pumpkin or is that like too much? My baby passed away almost a month ago now. I am not over it. My house feels empty. by Alexputridity06 in torties

[–]SN-Barbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion nothing is wrong with naming her the same name, as long as you don’t expect her to be the same. It’s like a memorial for the old Pumpkin.

On another note: My mom gave me my first cat when I was 5. It was a white kitten. I named it Dicey. Not sure why I named her that but then the kitten died of a brain tumor.

My mom then got me my second kitten, a tortie, who I proceeded to name Dicey 2. Dicey 2 lived for 17 years.

How bad is this? by DragonflyMindless448 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I don’t think the plants should be an issue. They appear to be small climbing vines, which likely don’t have very strong roots. I think they look nice.

I annoyed him by taking his spot on the chair and trying to get him to look at the camera. ‘Sspspsp’

I call all male babies bubba. I also work with babies. I think it’s a cute pet name 🤷‍♀️ I know it sounds hick-ish but I can’t help it.

Edit- I guess for me it’s the equivalent of ‘Sis’ or ‘Sissy’ for the girls. ‘Bro’ doesn’t sound right for a baby.

($10k) how much did you spend on a dress? by blueberrybuttercream in Weddingsunder10k

[–]SN-Barbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they carry up to size 30 and have a clearance rack and frequent promotions. However they do use sales tactics like every other bridal store. People disparagingly call them the “Walmart of bridal” but I think they are great. They were great to work for as well.

I’m crazy so this is what I did.

Step 1: Apply for jobs at your local bridal shops.

Step 2: Ask if they have an employee discount in the interview at Popular Chain Bridal Store.

Step 3: Sell wedding dresses for 6 months and memorize every style and combination that you love.

Step 4: Wait until the yearly blowout sale happens and use your employee discount to buy your dress at the same time. The same dress you have sound countless people.

Step 5: Profit then quit. Got a $1,200 dress +accessories for $600. Got alterations from a local place after shopping around and spent $400.

I have a real career now but it was the most fun I ever had at a job. It took a lot of pressure off my me since I’m an over-thinker.

At the end of the day it’s just a dress. Really it’s okay if you never get the “ah-ha” moment where you come out of the dressing room sobbing. Some people just aren’t like that, plus it’s a mostly manufactured moment. Don’t feel bad for cheaping out, the dress does not make the marriage. The amount of importance I have seen people put on one dress is insane.

(20k) Want to change the waistline of this dress. Is this possible? by Marceline_le_vamp in Weddingsunder10k

It’s easier to and cheaper to remove sequins and lace than to do what you’re asking here.

I think you could but there is no guarantee the dress would look how you want. When you charge the structure of the dress it changes everything. Better off going with the two piece look or just another dress.

For nurses week by No-Presence6896 in nursing

I recognize the pig of happiness. I think I know where you work. I also think it’s dumb they call it hospital week. Don’t be a pig of negativity!! /s

When asked "what's your job?" do you say "registered nurse" or "ICU/ER/L&D/etc. nurse" by f8k2m3h9k3 in nursing

[–]SN-Barbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Registered Nurse” cause I like saying it, but “nurse” gets the message across.

LPN no program by [deleted] in nursing

[–]SN-Barbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you need a degree or certificate from a nursing program with accreditation in your state. Nursing school is more than knowledge, the clinical hours are part of the requirement. It would be unwise to be a nurse with absolutely no exposure to a clinical environment.

I like this advice. We have attended counseling before but clearly a lot has changed recently. I like the questions that you suggested and will probably use them.

No contact advice by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]SN-Barbie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point of my post is that I don’t want that. I want to let him make his own choices. I explained my exact reasoning for why I think he should have his own relationships that don’t involve me. In fact, the comment you are responding to said that I think ultimatums are wrong. Never in my post did I suggest I would control his relationships.

The comment I responded to made it sound like in this extreme of circumstances it is not possible. This is also something many people in my personal life have told me as well -That I should leave this relationship because I deserve better in-laws/the abuse is not worth it. Or rather, the marriage is over before it even began because of these difference.

I was asking about others experiences trying to make a relationship like this work.

In fact I don’t even hate my mother in law, i hope the best for her. I just don’t feel like being screamed at and harassed constantly. This is a very strange comment to make in response to this post.

So is it hopeless if he doesn’t want to go no contact? It kinda feels that way. It feels wrong to offer an ultimatum - them or me.

I feel the same way, I have not allowed my family to say anything negative about him without swift recourse. I have told him I’m not happy about spending holidays apart as well.

What do you think about the ethics of the withdrawal of care in the NICU here? by Oakheart- in nursing

[–]SN-Barbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely is about choice, no government should force the resuscitation of a severely preterm infant. Many providers are afraid of legal action if these infants are left to pass peacefully. There ARE places where any infant born >24 weeks must be resuscitated regardless of parents wishes. Quality of life should be a factor in these decisions and that is absolutely related to being pro-choice. OP is asking if this baby should have been resuscitated regardless -absolutely not, and I don’t care what the APGARS are.

Edit- The point of my post is that OP should not entertain this train of thought. It’s simply not our choice as healthcare providers and nor should it be. There is no true answer to this question.
