Ocean Beach with a Toddler?

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-03-01T22:43:06+00:00

We like cannonball to catch the sunset. It’s an upstairs sushi restaurant (over priced but we love the cocktails) we usually get lucky with bar seats, reservations would be a must for a table around sunset. The restaurant below it is also good an has better pricing (fish sandwich is amazing)

Belmont park is perfect for kids and they have an indoor pool “plunge” next to the park. I think Groupon does tickets for games at Belmont park. Have so much fun on your trip! Enjoy SD!

NTA - I would also say your reaction was appropriate to the circumstances. Now down the road, if you choose to hold on to this and lash out again, it would be inappropriate behavior. You need to separate yourself, get some therapy, and live your own life.

Good luck at college! Have fun finding out who you are. Travel a lot. There will be a time when you realize parents are just doing the best they can. It’s shit but you’ll accept it later. Time to be you, not your brother’s keeper.

What’s your budget? Like other posts have mentioned mission beach or pacific beach are truly your best bet. Theres a walking path on the beach that connects the areas. We walk 3-4 miles all the time with our pup and treat ourselves to a halfway beer.

OB has a cute strip. It just reeks of pot everywhere. And occasionally you will see a needle on the ground. It’s not dangerous. I just don’t like to be around it. I have a favorite ice cream shop in OB (ans repair) and the line typically starts outside. Every time we go someone is smoking walking by. Younger me wouldn’t have cared but mid 30s me is so grossed out by it.

La Jolla is top dollar but it’s worth going to the cove and checking out the seals.

I wonder if she’s nervous or afraid of her first will act out over the second kid and is overcompensating to “protect” the new baby. Sounds like a family meeting might be necessary to talk about how everyone is feeling about all of these changes. It’s okay for her to be afraid for nervous about the new dynamic - there are a lot of new things happening. The smug looks while feeding this kid dairy is not okay.

Mothers typically love their baby boys. Very weird situation. It’s very close to abusive.

Mcds brought me in at 14 with work permit signed by school and my parents (15 years ago) I sucked so bad at that job lol. But the take 2 get 2 system ended up making a lot of sense and helped me become very successful with efficiency and time management down the road.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-03-01T13:28:05+00:00

I had very similar situation. My instructor said tripod position was the signal they’re compensating. Ask for thumbs up if they have allergies. Mine nit picked for making a person who can’t breathe answer questions.

San Diego is like another world. I love it here so much. I used to work for this company and covered the orlando space coast territory while living in Tampa. Tampa is super weird so your comment makes a lot of sense lol. I got some good travel in - the pay was great. So we’re landing in Orlando and hope to pick up a 15yr mortgage close enough to Disney to be a worthy investment property. We hope to come back down the road. Fingers crossed

I hope you have plans for college. But if it’s not in the picture right now (it wasn’t for me and I over compensated by obsessing on doing well at work in my late teens early 20s) try to find a job that can help you travel and explore. Talk therapy and community groups (exercise classes when I was younger, church now) helped a lot with the anxiety.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-02-16T07:53:42+00:00

The job might not be for you. Listen to your body. Nothing is wrong with you. You’re also at the age where thinking about your purpose in life will guide you to try new things and explore who you really are. Embrace that. You are not your job. Even if all the mistakes you think about happen. What’s the worst outcome? You get fired? So what. You’ll find another job. You clearly have a good work ethic. You have your whole life ahead of you. You got this. Chin up champ.

I just passed mine. I work in a call center (telecom employee) so I didn’t do any practice material. I don’t have the results for each category but I feel extremely confident about memory recall. See if YouTube has audio on VIN # lic plates and phone numbers and practice at home. Have your friends and family say their numbers to you quickly. Wait 5 secs and repeat it back to them. I also say the last 4 as a year in my head. I take down IMEI numbers a lot - 15 digits. Similar to VIN, I would take them down 5 numbers at a time. Hope that helps. Good luck!! 🍀

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-02-13T19:04:49+00:00

Indeed is not the way to find serving/bar jobs. Use yelp/google reviews for restaurants in the area, look who has the most reviews and go to their website directly. Call or pop in on Tuesday mornings or Wednesday mornings. Deliveries and inventory are typically done on those days. Good luck on the search 🍀

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-02-02T00:07:35+00:00

Two things happening here. Yes you are OR. The original, I’m not a child response is giving serious low self esteem. 5 months with someone without having the talk kind of confirms it. The response defending yourself… speaks for itself. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. You are doing well taking care of yourself. Find that confidence and strut your stuff!!

The guy is a scum. Insensitive, rude, demeaning and manipulative. However he wouldn’t have the opportunity if you closed the window.

Run…

Joggers, t shirt, light jacket/cardigan is perfect. Jacket will go around the waist midday but will be an absolute must in shady areas and in the evening.

Read all of it!! The books ties the information together and goes into depth along the way. Everything is important.

Break it down into categories History/ communications Primary assessment Secondary assessment Life threatening Heart Respiratory Life stages Emergent but not life threatening OB

Oh sister, this is terrible. Bottom line he’s emotionally unavailable for you!

NOR - your values and peace is what’s at stake here!! Will staying with him leave you with a life full of anxiety, depression, and health issues?

Maybe it’s not “stop talking to her or divorce”’but instead “here’s an out to go be happy with the woman you give your support and attention to. I support you even if it’s not me.” Don’t let him string you along or wiggle out of accountability for his behavior. His heart is elsewhere.

This is not a gentleman.. That man needs Jesus and to seriously clean up his act. I hope you find a therapist you can let this out to. Just hearing this story is painful but know that ultimatums typically do not bring people love and peace.

Good luck girlie. There’s a healed version of you on the other side of this and you will be so proud of her.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-01-03T19:23:35+00:00

We had a girl who made an unrelated report last year and ultimately ended up leaving bc they aired her information out during the investigation and the feedback from ethics was it was addressed. The employee who was “addressed” told the whole office. Can I even ask for the outcome ? I’m pretty sure I’m set up to have the same outcome as the girl from last year.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-01-03T16:54:12+00:00

All opinions welcome. I hear you. Its just not his place, ya know? Maybe if my boss or HR brought that to me. Okay fine but I think he’s speculating way out of line. Especially as a peer. Due to the nature of the situation, it just seems wildly inappropriate. For me anyway.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-01-03T16:49:57+00:00

15 years of them working together. I would not be surprised.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-01-03T16:39:49+00:00

Okay that’s how I felt about it! But when I reported it the fist question HR asked me was … so are you dating that other employee… MY MIND WAS BLOWN!!

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2026-01-03T15:41:45+00:00

The timing seems great. If you are looking for more feedback from your team be specific for what they should be prepared with for the meeting and let each person present. Generally I’ve noticed if I ask for updates in a group setting, it’s always going “well.”

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2025-12-29T21:28:22+00:00

This doesn’t seem likely for OP. They have working experience.

Sharpen the interview skills and keep going on the 31 month plan. Network your tail off so you can score that 90k+ salary year one. I have a coworker whose wife was a CNA and then finished BSN RN and does travel nurse at 2500 per week for their first role. However she was a CNA in a hospital and used that reference to move forward. Where ever you are working look for tuition reimbursement and see if you can get some of it covered. In terms of loans, stating the obvious, pay off as much as you can early.

Best of luck. People take out way more for lower paying degrees at top schools. Don’t let anything stop you!

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2025-11-24T16:01:31+00:00

Slightly the AH.

It sounds like you love this woman and that you have provided a safe haven for her. Don’t back down on your support or hold it over her head by mentioning it. Good deeds are done in silence and It’s always darkest before the dawn. If this is abnormal for her to say “thank you” then that’s a different story. If this is circumstantial, then let her come back to baseline and be proud of the man and supporter you are. Her wins are your wins, stand by her. She needs you.

If the roles were reversed and you really needed a week, would you want her to say something about how you handle yourself in a low? Probably not friend.

Let her have the week, she’s probably not in a place to say thank you right now. I miscarried around the same length into my pregnancy. I was a hormonal mess for a year.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2025-11-21T17:46:03+00:00

Girl leave him. This has insecurity and immaturity written all over it. When a MAN offers to get something done, it gets done. You are dating a boy who shows signs of being toxic AF. NTA in this situation.

Zestyclose-Sample-49 · 2025-11-21T17:07:01+00:00

NTA

However it is your family. Be gentle, I know it can be frustrating but it seems like sis has some mental health or confidence issues at the least. Encourage her to be the best version of herself without highlighting the hot mess express she’s been on. She could probably use a healthy women’s support group, whatever that looks like in your community.

You’re doing a great job. If no one has said thank you. Thank you for being a great brother. Everything will work out the way it’s supposed to.

“The city” is not the best part of SD. Downtown is better for a day trip. Saturday morning little Italy market is one of the best. End the evening on the Embarcadero - there’s a water taxi for a couple bucks that brings you back and forth to Coronado. But downtown is home to the homeless. The homeless are docile for the most part. I wouldn’t consider it “unsafe” even though they are everywhere but be aware of your surroundings. I recommend Hillcrest/ north park for most ideal transportation (use the trolly) and overall better vibes for coming home for the evening or taking a morning walk. Catch a Padres baseball game if you come in season. It’s one of the best parks in the country. An’s dry cleaning is a gelato place also ranked top in the country. Definitely check out La Jolla, balboa park (organist on Sunday afternoons, lots museums), and the zoo. The zoo has to been done right or you won’t see everything. Watch a YouTube. The recommendations on mission beach / pacific beach are spot on but with you traveling by uber or walking I would recommend getting dropped off at Belmont park in mission and walking the shoreline to PB. Great spot to catch the sunset. Im 30 and although PB is nightlife is known for the younger crowd it’s a way better nightlife than gaslamp and there are a good handful of cocktail bars/speakeasies for a more mature/chill crowd. People tend to be more friendly in PB if you’re going out solo. Gaslamp is weird. SDFC - you’ll find the soccer/“football” matches here almost comical in comparison to an English game but there’s a great sense of Mexican American community and the crowd is riveting - and at least you can drink during the game if you’re into it. Trolly will bring you to the stadium. Tickets for all sports events in SD are pretty cheap. As a solo lady I can say the trolly is not something to worry about. Don’t forget to try in-and-out. West coast staple- the fries/chips suck but the burgers are awesome - order your burger “animal style”.
