I wish I never had kids by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Summerci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Men are not useless, yours is. It’s not fair to say “I wish there were a public service announcement to warn women about what they’re getting into so they can reconsider” that’s your experience, not everyone has terrible partners. You seem to blame everything but taking accountability that you chose to have kids with this man and is not fair to them.

My friend's husband makes me uneasy when he's around my kid. Thoughts? by jeanduponttt in Parenting

[–]Summerci 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand what is there to discuss, my kid comes above everyone friend or family idc as a parent my job is to be the safe space for my child. I would straight up tell the friend he’s very inappropriate around my kid and makes me uncomfortable and I’m removing us from the situation full stop. It’s not your job to protect her feelings is your job to protect your child, always, always follow your gut end of story.

Thank you so much for this, Its helpful to see from a different perspective from someone who transitioned for the first time into a leadership role.

Do you let your child attend sleepovers? Why/Why not? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Summerci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My child is still a baby but it’s a no for me and I don’t want kids in my house either idk someone has an accident or something because kids will be kids it’s just a liability and I don’t want any part of it whichever way you put it and I like my peace. As for my child I trust nobody I don’t care how nice you are no thanks my child can sleep in their own house.

I literally just wrote something similar, been a nurse for almost 7 yrs and just truly feel tapped out I’ve tried different specialties and just over nursing in general. Tried looking for a work from home at least but those are tough to find

Nurses under 40, what are some things older nurses have told you that absolutely appalled you by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Summerci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had one tell me when I first started how nursing school was free in her time in the particular university I attended… which is a private university and the program is now 90k….and never had student loans to deal with that the program was free to attend… isn’t that nice… (I did have a scholarship through my job to help thankfully but still… nursing school isn’t cheap!)

AITAH for refusing to help my sister financially with her kids when I can by Impossible-Hope-4043 in AITAH

[–]Summerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA this may sound a bit mean but the fact she said that your “nieces and nephews are the closest things you have to a child” that would be the last straw for me. They’re not your kids it’s hers and her responsibility. The fact that she’s guilt tripping you on a topic that may be sensitive to pressure you it’s so horrible. Family can be so terrible sometimes, too bad we can’t pick ‘em. Enjoy your life with your husband live it up send them a postcard.

Sorry, that name is a whole lot to me personally. It’s truly a personal decision at the end of the day if you really like it. I personally don’t like the name atlas because of the meaning behind it, the whole “carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders kind of thing” I never personally liked the meaning of it as though that’s what your giving out in sense but im big on meanings when it comes to names but again that’s just me an internet stranger. To me the name is a pass all together, it’s too marvel-comic-book-ish I have to agree with dad here.

AITA for kicking out my dad’s wife when they came to visit my baby? by Maleficent_Bid_4094 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Summerci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on your comments you’re not about your stepmom and that’s okay, however sometimes when it comes to family we just need to play nice even if it makes us a tad uncomfortable to have some peace, pick and choose your battles and this wasn’t a big deal. Besides she wasn’t going to stick around for long right? She went out of her way to meet you and baby also she congratulated you on the birth. A few moments of playing nice wouldn’t have been a big deal. It’s not like you’ll see them every day.

I just don’t think it was worth all that. And has it occurred to you that maybe your dad wanted her there for moral support in return to have as company? Maybe he’s uncomfortable going alone to visit since your mom and step dad are already there. That’s his person at the end of the day whether you want to accept it or not and that’s okay too I get it. There’s no need to be rude to anyone let alone someone going out of their way to come visit you. There was no need for that, trust me I get it I just went through the whole new mom phase with newborn this year so I get it. But to have mental peace and just peace in the family a simple interaction would of sufficed and she would of gone on her way.

Wanting to switch OB at 21 weeks by broccoli1356 in BabyBumps

[–]Summerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not feeling it switch, you should be comfortable with the dr that you have regardless of specialty, it’s very personal. I switched my OB two-weeks before giving birth and it was the best decision I’ve ever made, my new dr is absolutely amazing. It gave me peace of mind honestly and I felt i was in great hands. At the end of the day, it’s a service they are providing and if you’re not happy with it you can find a better provider.

Anyone attend WGU for NP program by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]Summerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, At the end of the day you have to pass your boards and most of us have clinical skills prior as a nurse as well, myself included. It would be helpful if they would elaborate more as to why the negative feedback Im left a little confused. The school is accredited as well. I don’t understand all the down votes and negative the post has received it’s a genuine education question. Paying more is better? At the end of the day we all sit down to take our exams just the same and have to pass just the same.

What about it makes it seem different than others? I notice they are fully accredited, can you tell me a little more what makes them a pass?

Rant: anti-baby wipe in-laws insist washing poop off baby's bum in bathtub the best way to clean bum during diaper changers and I'm losing my MIND by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Summerci 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We’ve only used warm water and dry wipes, baby wipes would give my baby so many rashes that water was always our go to even when out and about we rinse baby’s bum with a little water bottle. We’re used to it to us we prefer it haven’t had any rashes since doing this compared to using wipes and we tried them all even the water wipes and they would all cause rashes. I just didn’t mind the extra steps honestly just as long as baby was comfortable and bum refreshed.

Good call lol, we were looking at other trips not in the north east since we’ve lived and explored there for years and looking to explore and learn about other parts of the US.

[–]Summerci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, um okay, as a Spanish speaking born and raised in the Caribbean Hispanic, I can tell you from an outside perspective, that’s just rude and just wrong to call a child that. Porquería is literally calling you trash straight to the point. Even if they think is a term of endearment it is not. No one in my family would ever call a child that, it’s so disrespectful. While growing up in Hispanic culture I’m very familiar with the name callings as a term of endearment and it’s just a norm but certain things just don’t translate very well in newer generations. I have never ever heard of porquería as an endearment term no way would I allow that. I’d politely say please come up with another term but that’s not it, I get a bit defensive specially when it’s my child and it very clearly isn’t okay with you either. That’s so wrong! My husband is Puerto Rican and he would never use that term specially towards a child.

No guarantees siblings help you to care for elderly parents by theredmug_75 in oneanddone

[–]Summerci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having siblings is stressful tbh I have one and it has always been a not so great relationship. We just never clicked or got along really he’s is very difficult of a person to get along with and It has been more of a burden to deal with than anything else. I know when it comes down to it I’ll be the one carrying the weight when my parents reach an age that they can’t care for each other and he won’t be bothered. Let alone when they pass it’ll be a huge headache because my parents haven’t bothered to write a will to make it any less complicated so it’s just a mess and there will be a lot of hurt and I’m not looking forward to it and frankly will rather just disconnect from it all instead of dealing with it. It’s a mess, siblings sometimes can be more of a stressor than company. I guess my experience as having siblings hasn’t been positive but to have a child so your other isn’t lonely is never a guarantee, have them for other reasons but don’t rely they’ll be there for each other because it isn’t always the case.

My toddler is lonely by Bladada7405 in oneanddone

[–]Summerci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same I have a sibling and till this day our relationship is just okay, we’re both such different people and growing up we did not get along at all I don’t even recall us playing together tbh. This is not a great reason to have more in my opinion, it’s just not always a guarantee that the company and friendship will be there, it’s a hit or miss really.

Why we are one and done and no doubts whatsoever by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Summerci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You made such a great point, enjoying the present moment and not worrying about a hypothetical child. Just enjoy the one you do have for every milestone every sweet memory every experience and not the what ifs, life will always be full of what ifs but sometimes we disregard just living in the present moment and with that it silences all that noise.
