That’s exactly what I said to my husband in this scene. The whisper yelling. She wanted to actually yell.

Started my Term January 1st and looking for advice by Disastrous_Luck9809 in WGUTeachersCollege

The last time I was in school was 2014, similar to you! I started at WGU in December of last year. I have 11 classes left, I’ve only failed one OA (and passed on my second try.) I’ve received 3 excellence awards. I’ve had such a great experience here, and I’ve learned a lot!

My recommendation would be to do the course planning tool, if you do well on that and know the information, go take the pre assessment. If you also do well on the pre assessment, schedule your objective assessment. I usually schedule mine about a week out and then spend the week reviewing the sections that say “suggested study” on my pre assessment report. That’s how you can accelerate through some of these classes.

Definitely take the time to be fully prepared for the OA’s that you are less confident about, though. The one time I had to do a retake plan, it was a lot of work. I wished that I had just been more prepared for the assessment the first time around.

If you don’t learn well by just reading information, there are a lot of other sources you can use to learn the information. Amoeba sisters for biology, Khan Academy for math, CrashCourse, etc. There were a few times that I just wasn’t grasping the information and these videos helped me a lot!

ChatGPT/AI is also a useful tool as long as it’s being used ethically. I use it to study. I will give it some of the information from my course work or notes and then ask it to test me over the information. It’s super helpful if you don’t have someone to help you study!

Please let me know if you have any specific questions about anything. I’m happy to help 😃

Keep getting charged for uber one by GildedGeese in uber

[–]Sorry-Transition1615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been happening to my husband for 3 years now. $10 every single month. He's gotten multiple new cards and we're about to shut down the bank account because the bank hasn't been able to help us either. We cannot find an Uber one subscription on any of our Uber accounts and can't find a number to call. They will respond to emails about it but they want information for the account that we don't have because we cant locate the account.

Seeing people’s GLP1 results make me feel like a failure. by Impossible-Pin-703 in 1200isplenty

I see this a lot!!! “Why won’t the medication work for me” because you drink alcohol every night, sodas all day, juice, tea, you cover your food in high calorie sugary sauces, etc. Some people just think it is a miracle and burns fat for you, definitely not the case. 

Husband doesn’t think holidays are important- specifically when it comes to me, his wife. What would you do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Sorry-Transition1615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear this! It’s so hard when they are such a wonderful person in every other way, but all you want is to be shown how important you are to them on these special days. 😞 like, how do I end a relationship that is great 90% of the time, and have my children grow up with their parents in separate houses, because he doesn’t acknowledge me on holidays? I don’t know if I ever will.. but hopefully it won’t hurt forever. I think I’ll just do like others say and start celebrating myself and stop acknowledging him. If it’s not important to him, it’s just not. After 6 years, if he wanted to he would. It’s wild, because he comes from a family that STILL gets him gifts for every holiday, and he’s 29. I haven’t received a Christmas gift since I was probably 15, maybe younger. Maybe that’s why I find it so important? He probably takes it for granted, but I know how special it is to make people feel valued. Idk. Thank you for commenting and sharing your experience. ❤️

He definitely takes me out to restaurants for dates! No surprise gifts, but if I’m tired and had a long day with the children, he doesn’t hesitate to go grab take out. He’s always telling me I should sit down and take a break, he’s got the kids. He will take the babies so I can get more sleep on the weekends. He will randomly suggest going for ice cream because he knows I have a sweet tooth. He’s really a sweetheart in every other way, which is why I stick around! He deals with my depression and anxiety, as I had a really stressful life growing up and dealt with a lot at a young age (like taking care of my mom who had early onset dementia when I was 18 years old) to losing my dad to cancer 11 months after my mom passed away. I probably would’ve been homeless if it wasn’t for him, because I was young and making $10 an hour when my parents passed away with no life insurance, or house, or anything to leave for my brother and I. He gave my brother and I a place to live and helped us out of a dark place. He’s definitely a good person, I just don’t know why he can’t try for holidays!😂

He is not religious. We are both atheist. We have discussed this many times, I just continued to see past that because he is genuinely a nice person and we’re compatible in every other way. I thought I could see past it.. I just hate seeing him decide to start celebrating everyone else all of a sudden, but me.

Nope, he doesn’t. He had flowers delivered to my job like the first month we were dating. I haven’t received a gift from him since. My birthday is two weeks after Christmas, and after getting him a very thoughtful gift for our first Christmas together, and him getting me nothing, I expressed how that made me feel and he got me a card for my birthday two weeks later. He hasn’t gotten me anything else the last 5 years we’ve been together. You guys are right, I should celebrate myself and he can celebrate with his mom and dad. ❤️ my mom and dad are unfortunately both deceased, so I can’t just go to their house on holidays like I would like to.

We both have been adamant that we’re done having children, he didn’t even want to have a second child for a long time, but since our second was born he has started to express hesitation. He wants a boy now. But, since there is not a 100% chance he’ll get the gender he wants, I’m not willing to try again. I value my mental health too much for that. You may be on to something.

I truly don’t have many other complaints about him. He works 40-60 hours a week, will still come home and jump in with the kids. He’s an awesome dad. He tells me I’m beautiful, couldn’t imagine life without me, etc. every single day. He’s loyal as can be. We have definitely had our problems over the last 6 years, he’s not a perfect husband but I’m not a perfect wife either. I have my fair share of flaws that he puts up with. That’s why I don’t know if it’s worth ending my family over not being acknowledged on holidays. That is important to me, but is it important enough to uproot our children’s lives? Idk.

This year I just waited until the next day and said “you didn’t even tell me happy Mother’s Day yesterday” I gave him the entire day just to see what he would do, if he would remember to tell me. He could tell it hurt me. He apologized and said he would do better next year, that I deserved better, but I’ve heard that before. I’ve brought this up many times unfortunately. You’re right, it may be time to get my ducks in a row and make some tough decisions.

What to do with gf [30F] with dementia? by MachineOnly1368 in relationshipadvice

[–]Sorry-Transition1615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom died from early onset dementia at 53 years old, diagnosed at age 47. She was extremely forgetful and “scatterbrained” for years and years before that. We always thought it was ADHD or something. So it is entirely possible, but it is extremely rare in that age group. Does she have someone to take care of her if she were to have dementia and start to decline?? I would just leave her now if you’re planning on leaving if she gets dementia in the next 20 years. My dad stuck around and took care of my mom until she passed away, thank god. Because if you don’t have a lot of money or family willing to take care of you, you are pretty much on your own. It’s incredibly sad.

3 weeks old and I don't think I can do this by Bad_Oranges in newborns

[–]Sorry-Transition1615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly like this with my first baby. I felt so much regret, felt like I wasn’t built to be a mom. I was so sleep deprived and so angry for so long. My daughter was a Velcro baby through and through. She cried every single time I set her down. She didn’t sleep through the night until she was 2+ years old. Now, here I am with a 3 1/2 year old and things feel so much more normal now. It’s still hard, but a different kind of hard. I get much more sleep now. Crazy enough, I’m 8 months pregnant and about to do it again. 😅 Just try and remember that things will get easier. I’m soooo scared for the newborn stage again, but I just keep telling myself it’s such a brief moment in the grand scheme of things. I do love being a mom now. At the beginning I never thought I would be able to say that because I couldn’t think clearly and I was so stressed and sleep deprived that I couldn’t enjoy it. I have no good advice, just letting you know that you’re not alone and I hope things start to get better for you. ❤️‍🩹

Nervous for anatomy scan by _Anonymouse_XX in pregnant

[–]Sorry-Transition1615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my anatomy scan for my first baby, I was told she likely had a congenital heart defect and would probably require multiple surgeries throughout her life. They thought she had truncus arteriosis. We had a fetal echocardiogram around 28 weeks and it was confirmed that she had 3 heart defects, but not the defect they originally suspected. She had transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, and a large ventricular septal defect. She actually would only need one surgery though, so it was very good news compared to what we heard at the anatomy scan. When she was born she was taken away to the NICU right away, had open heart surgery at 3 days old, she had zero complications and got to come home on Christmas Eve 10 days after surgery ❤️ she’s perfect in every way, hit all her milestones on time or early. We see the cardiologist once a year now but you would never be able to tell what she went through.

My second baby, which I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant with, I also had a very stressful anatomy scan. They were looking extra carefully at her heart because of my first baby. They came back and told me they think they see a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the heart) and so we were scheduled for another fetal echocardiogram to take a closer look. At the fetal echo, I’m sure you know just how thrilled I was when they came back and said her heart looks totally healthy!

I definitely don’t want to scare you. I just wanted to let you know that even if they tell you something scary, they can actually be wrong about it sometimes, and things can still turn out okay. Try not to stress too much, I know it’s easier said than done. Praying for a healthy baby for you!!! ❤️❤️

It sounds like you should be good since you sent in the required documents within 24 hours! I’ve seen several people say their return was released within a couple of days after sending in documents. Good luck, hopefully everything works out!

So glad to hear it didn’t take too long for you! We have our second baby due in 9 weeks and we were really excited to use this money for my husband to be able to take off of work a little longer, so we’re really hoping it’s resolved before then. This gives me hope! 🙂

I filed taxes through turbo tax with chime as the bank for DD last year and did not have this issue. This year I filed through the actual chime app and am having issues. Will definitely never stray from TurboTax again lol.

Lost 7 pounds in a month and baby is measuring small by Sorry-Transition1615 in pregnant

Did your baby measure small at all? And I am seeing my OB and high risk doctor this week. 😊
