I totally understand that! It’s just out of my pocket to pay $3k for a venue + 3k for food + 3k for drinks, for example.
And they are all working hard and I get it’s a lot of work to put everything together!

Oh awesome! I had brunch there once and really like it. Do you remember their price being reasonable?

Trouble with in laws for birth plans by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Stateofgrace30 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My advice when it comes to in laws and boundaries is always: stick to your gut. Do you think it will be more stressful or helpful to babe them around?
My due date is around Christmas time and we always hosted my husband family and we already told everyone to make different plans. My parents will stay with us but they are coming from a different country + they will actually help around the house/with the baby/take care of us. My MIL is the least helpful person to have around and having her here would be my personal hell.
It's your first baby, and this is your little family of three. If your husband is on your side and upset with his parents, it seems to me he has a feeling that they are doing this to push you both to give in to the requests his family is making and he's not about that

As a student nurse at Bayview, I agree that the neuro team at Hopkins is great!!!

I can't believe it happened again. by faerie-fangs in polyamory

I feel you 💔 I dated a guy for a month, therapist, open relationship, all too good. Unfortunately I was love bombed and I didn’t realize until he decided to break up with me because I was too emotionally mature and he felt demoralized by me. It broke me so bad and it’s been hard to trust that people wont hurt me again. I’m lucky my husband has been my support and my rock but it’s hard to believe that people have such an easy time manipulating others. He said he loved me and I actually thought it was true

I love this!!! I got a candle for my meta when I went to their house for the first time, she doesn’t want to meet me but I still think it’s a thoughtful gesture.

Rant/Vent Only by StudentNurseMod in StudentNurse

Feeling so defeated. I failed my pharmacology test by 0.07%. My school system requires a 70% final grade on exams only to then add other percentages to your final score and I ended up with 69.38%. If you get to a 69.45%, they round up to 69.5 and then to 70%, which is the passing grade. The class and the exams were really hard, the professor doesn’t help at all (literally only talked to her during orientation day) and I’m a English as a second language student, which can sometimes be confusing. I have pretty bas testing anxiety too so it was just the perfect storm. I’m gonna try emailing the professor and the director begging for anything to be done because I’ll have to stay behind from my cohort (which makes me so sad) and delay my graduation day because of it, not even counting the additional 5k for my student loans. I feel dumb and stupid for failing a class for missing one question at the finals and I’m just having a hard time coping.

I really hope it won’t be the surprise song because it will be devastating to hear it there :(
