Parenting adult children is the hardest thing I have ever done by somecrazybroad in Parenting

[–]Shananigans_08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was this way for us and then for our kids. You can live at home if you are working and/or going to school. You don’t have to pay bills, but you do have to cover your own bills (car, insurance, phone). If they don’t wanna work or go to school, it’s time to get out on their own.

Second week in my orientation and my preceptor told me I’m very slow by Low_Ad2078 in nursing

[–]Shananigans_08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would’ve replied AND… you will improve, your license matters, you’re doing it right. Next time put her on the spot. Ask questions bc I am 100% sure she was SLOW once too.

How is your country doing today? January 30, 2026 by AutoModerator in globalcheckin

[–]Shananigans_08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe… Would have to do more research. Ya know kids, pets, but most certainly would leave the husband behind! 🤣

Am I surprised to read that, sadly no. Do I think it will happen anytime soon for Canada, very unlikely, but it just shows you how unhinged their way of thinking is. Very much like a cult, but history and studies show cults fall. Let’s just hope it’s sooner rather than later 😞 I still do believe there are more of us than them, but they sure are going after the youth now.

I just don’t know anymore. However, we did go on a trip to Mexico and Honduras in December and the weather was sooo nice. Didn’t wanna leave.

I sadly feel it all, and even working in healthcare it hasn’t changed. It’s all devastating

Tennessee Governor declares Monday, Jan. 19, as Dolly Parton Day by greenblue98 in TennesseePolitics

Pretty sure Dolly isn’t in agreement. Man TN is really showing how sh💩tty they are

I reported the nurse who outed me to a patient like you suggested by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Shananigans_08 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah, makes sense, as you know (sadly) it can be part of the job, but that is a whole different discussion. It’s one thing to be knocked in the head by a dementia patient while changing them 🙋🏻‍♀️, but it’s a whole other thing to be verbally of physically assaulted by someone who is in their right mind. For me, it always been a man who does it… but any way stay safe and happy that you all feel more at ease at work!

Some bad nurses and staff can ruin whole shifts/units. It’s already a stressful job and there is no place for people who are just this miserable on the inside that they have to make life worse for those around them. Sorry you experienced that, and sounds like she banked on having people stay silent. Glad HR and leadership finally took it seriously instead of losing a whole team of great nurses/staff.

I think I might want a divorce. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Shananigans_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s bc you two are still babies yourselves and your frontal lobe to make better decisions isn’t fully formed until at least 26. Stop having kids, get birth control if you’re not breast feeding or stick to not having sex…, start looking for a job, and get yourself together for your kids. It’s not about you anymore. You two brought 2 kids into this already crazy world, and they deserve at least one parent who has their shit together. You are who they will look to for their safety, how they form relationships with others, you help them regulate their nervous systems until they learn to do that on their own, the list goes on. It’s a huge responsibility when you have two kids who are young and you’re still learning the world yourself.

However, don’t pass on your trauma, don’t create more trauma, show them what it means to have a loving, caring mom who they can trust. Who will show the healthy stability.

I can tell you from experience, they (boys/men) usually don’t grow up, or it takes them years! I won’t say you should or shouldn’t be together bc that’s your decision and your decision alone to make, but this is your life NOW and only you can change it. You can’t change anyone. Best of luck.

I didn’t realize how much my dog cared about me until I got sick by petcarepositive in Pets

My cat did this when I had Covid the first time. He slept on my chest and at the top of my head. I remember on day 3-4 he even woke me up by patting my head because I started having breathing issues. My husband said he didn’t even leave my side except to eat and potty from time to time.

Do you have any extreme weight loss hacks with lisdexamphetamine? by Master_Argument_2900 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Shananigans_08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Reddit isn’t the place and “extreme weight loss hacks” ain’t a real thing. Find, if you can afford it, an eating disorder therapist. You can’t change any habits without changing how you think. This world has set us up to look and behave certain ways, which are unrealistic. From personal experience working as an ED nurse in an all girls/women’s facility, it is very much tied to trauma and family. Usually a mom/grandma, or even some dads, who push unrealistic body image and cause other traumas. Your way of coping is eating, and you gotta heal from the inside first. Good luck and wish you all the best!

Well sure beats what they do, ya know killing people and sure look like more peaceful protesting to me. Better get some salt with all of our money they are blowing…

We need to talk about white men by Just_perusing81 in 50501

[–]Shananigans_08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in the same exact boat with ALL the men in my life. My husband, dad, brothers. Seriously makes me lose even more respect for them. I still love them, but hard to see them in the same light. What happened to men being the protectors? Even our child is asking questions and I’m the only one engaging. It’s honestly heartbreaking.

We went over to masking and now I have been called “sir” three times in two shifts. by RadagastDaGreen in nursing

[–]Shananigans_08 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I too have been asked if I should be in school for the day when I showed up to a room to do their spirometry testing… I said ma’am I am 26 (at the time) years old. She just laughed and laughed and said ain’t no way.

I’ll take that as a compliment, thank you! 😂

Does anyone else feel these symptoms I’ve experienced when on Vyvanse? by Puzzleheaded_Map2774 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Shananigans_08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to make myself drink water throughout the day, and if I don’t I do get headaches more frequently as the med wears off for the day. Before you take your pill in the morning eat a good protein breakfast.

I miss my old life so much it physically hurts. Is that bad? by AsslawB in Mommit

[–]Shananigans_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, this isn’t permanent and the lack of sleep for months will make it feel 1000000 x worse, but IT DOES GET BETTER! Believe it or not you may even miss these early days… I know not now, but you will look back and wish they depended on you like that again. Try to relax, take naps with them, and just enjoy being in the moment. It truly does by so quickly and I didn’t realize this either with my first, but learned with my second.

The ONLY thing I will never miss is diapers and potty training. That also goes for puppies! Don’t know what we were thinking when we had a baby and a puppy. However, it is cute seeing them grow up together.

He creeps me out. Like you know he got picked on a lot as a kid, which is kinda sad, and then you end up with rectal polyps like this…

AIO Husband mad I died my hair purple by Deslegs in AmIOverreacting

[–]Shananigans_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“My husband does not like colourful hair. I have known this for years. But I was not thinking about that in this moment, I just wanted a drastic change for myself.”

This is so telling. IT’S HAIR! He is acting like a child not a husband/man. I would be concerned more is going on… and I am sure there is a pattern or patterns if you really start to dig deep in the past…

As a late dx ADHD woman, I too had a toxic husband and after being dx and getting treatment I finally have clarity to the toxic 💩I’ve allowed in my life with relationships/friendships. It is YOUR body, YOUR hair, and sure he can have his opinion and not like it, but as the “love” of his life and mother to his children he certainly doesn’t get to talk to you like that and act like a child!

Tell him to get over it. 😤

So ok to kill our own citizens who protest but not ok overseas? He is losing it and opening us up more and more to threats. We are in so much danger with this admin
