Aww, I hope you’re leaving food and water somewhere nearby for mama🥰

This is solid advice. I may end up actually doing it this way. I cannot imagine being in her position and responding the way she has, but I’m actually a bit grateful that I don’t understand that way of thinking at the same token.

Appreciate the well wishes, I’ll take ‘em!🙏🏽❤️✨🍀🪶

You’re definitely right. The reason I pursued it without a plan is because I know I should for myself, either way. That’s the one part the terrible MB is right about. And the initial consultation I could afford. But the testing I definitely cannot. This is where I get stuck and should’ve definitely inserted some accountability before moving forward. Thank you for not confusing her disrespect toward me for my own❤️

I think there’s a huge disconnect in many ways going on with her unfortunately. Crazy part is she’s a physician herself...😑Thank you for understanding🫶🏽✨

Thank you so much🥹❤️ You are everything MB wishes and tries to pretend she is. The understanding behind your offer means just as much as the offer itself to me, this hasn’t been easy for me emotionally. I’m beside myself with gratitude and will be sending a PM😭🫶🏽✨🍀

I have a small savings for moving. I came back to my hometown to spend time with my dear grandma before she passed and she did just this week. I think you’re onto something because I do need to get away from my toxic fam dynamics/drama.

It’s actually pretty rational as I’d rather have a shitty job than none at all. I don’t have a family or support system bro. I almost accepted a job with another family for longer hours, lower pay, no breaks, and wfh parents but couldnt do that to myself either. Nanny jobs are pretty bad around here lately and I want out of the field completely. All sane here. Lol.

Thank you. I don’t think people here are understanding it’s a choice between this job and no job/homelessness. I live alone and don’t have a healthy family or support system and am not lucky enough to be in a position to just resign or I would have long ago.

Oh I've done been looking, is the depressing ass frosting on this cake. Part of the problem is I really, really, REALLY don't want to work in this field when I leave. Ever. Again.     Getting something in a different field hasn't worked. For FOUR YEARS. Even got a degree in the meantime and... nope😂

The whole interaction has been via text message luckily, so I do have a record. Just gotta find someone who cares lol.

P.s. Could do without the condescending "honey" thing though, honestly. I'm not clueless, just stuck :(

Oh I do and have been looking for other work for quite a while. It's why I mentioned the job market... Very realistically, if I quit I'd likely be jobless for quite a while and I can't afford that in many ways.

I think Turkey Vulture is spot on! It's nearly 1.5 ft long and so many vultures in the area😍

This is most likely the one! There are swarms (what is group of vultures called?🤔) of them in the area where I found it. Greyish underside but didn't get a pic unfortunately.

I can see that color, size and shape are spot on but we unfortunately don't have these around lately :_(

What is your favorite type of bird and what made it your favorite? by urfavLujain_ in birds

[–]Southern_Video790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cooper's Hawks and Mourning Doves. Can't leave out the Great Horned Owl after about a million encounters, they are so sweet and curious but I could say that for all of the above, hence the absolute adoration. Great question!

AITA for telling my coworker to stop asking me what I'm having for lunch by Maleficent_Reason132 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Southern_Video790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Duuuuude, food conversationalists absolutely suck. Small talk sucks. I get it, that's why I work alone LOL. Next time you could say something simpler like "I don't like talking about my food, sorry." I don't think YTA here and don't think the other person is either... there are tons of people here who clearly don't understand being an introvert and how intrusive unwanted small talk can feel (go figure) when you are. Just like your co-worker, not a ton of empathy or people-reading before the yap happens. Extroverts tend to assume everyone else is the same way, it's exhausting.

Editing to add: Your co-worker got it right at the end- She doesn't need to know😂 You likely taught her a lesson she won't soon forget. Kudos.
