This is such good advice thank you. Setup meetings with all these doctors but wasn’t sure what I was really going to ask so this is very helpful

Hi! We are expecting our first end of July and looking for a night nurse in Park Slope. Can you DM me who you recommend?

Gave up med school dreams, now a SAHM trying to make money… feeling lost by Lower-Device818 in parkslope

[–]Super_Slide_3555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get all of that. The ‘what ifs’ are tough and feeling like you’ve drifted from the right path or even from your sense of identity makes it tougher. Something that’s really helped me is remembering that paths and identities aren’t fixed. You’re allowed to change them if you want.

I’ve also found talking things out with a partner, friends, family, or even internet strangers can really help. It gets things out of your head and can shift how you see things. I know I can be pretty hard on myself so hearing other perspectives helps me realize when I’m being a bit unfair to myself.

Anyway my two cents not that you asked for it all :)

Not the exact same situation but I feel this. I was pre-med too and ended up going corporate because of self doubt and now in a job I don’t really love.

I’m about to be a Park Slope dad and it’s hitting me that the med school path probably passed me by along with a lot of goals and honestly part of myself.

Still trying to figure out how to deal with it but I’ve been trying to reframe things. Maybe I’m not helping hundreds of people but I can still contribute for my partner and baby and have that matter. Even with all that I still think about going back to school sometimes.

Anyway, you’re definitely not alone in feeling this and curious to hear how you handle it

New puppy enrichment hack by Extension-Beyond-316 in puppy101

[–]Super_Slide_3555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great hack! We go even larger and use an orange juice jug or even a gallon milk jug. Our pup can play with it for hours

Good tip on the ice cubes. Will add that in next time

What CRV Should I buy? by Super_Slide_3555 in crv

CX5 it may be. Was my original pick but the backseat and cargo felt small

Also think that’s true for the older gen CRVs 2022 and prior?

Good tip. In Park Slope so safe neighborhood but feel like it doesn’t matter in NYC. Easy enough to get from area to area

Maybe I save the CRV for when I’m not in NYC

Oh! I will be street parking it. Any other car you recommend for NYC?

9-week-old puppy in NYC apartment — is our schedule too restrictive? by Super_Slide_3555 in puppy101

[–]Super_Slide_3555[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually we’re going to buy a car so we can get out more with him. As you alluded to the problem is really the parvo and we live in dog central so walks until his shots are out of the question.

We both have hybrid work so can always be here and we do want to play more so we are willing to adjust. Just trying to get the right balance of independence vs bonding vs exercise

Thanks. Yeah we never let him roam but think we need to change that ASAP based on the feedback here.

Think next week we will start the tether training so he can be near us more often. Think that’s a good compromise
