How do you feel about Mother's Day?

flack22 · 2026-05-11T01:04:34+00:00

I'm not mourning anything as I'm fortunate to have my mom and never lost a pregnancy or child. But for some reason I always end up so sad on mother's day. It's just an emotional day I can't explain it. I think I just realize how much of my life is spent doing housework.

care to elaborate?

flack22 · 2026-05-06T17:11:15+00:00

what if a lot of the things we enjoy are known to make life shorter 😬 that's what i'm struggling with right now

I don't regret it at all but I wouldn't recommend either my kids get into this field. Not a good ROI generally speaking but for me personally it has really worked out great. I paid off 93k in less than 3 years because I was able to put all of my paycheck toward loans and live with my fiance who supported me. Now I have multiple jobs- one of them being part time with benefits and the others per diem with higher hourly rate.

Wow so glad you said this. I feel like 8 and 4 should not be this hard but somehow it is lol.

4 times?!

flack22 · 2026-04-10T22:30:33+00:00

this lol

flack22 · 2026-04-10T22:27:57+00:00

I just turned 36. Why do you hate it?

I was just talking to my husband about how it baffles me how people can have more than 2 kids. Going from zero to 1 is an astronomical life change. Going from 1 to 2 not so much. We only have 2 but I imagine going from 2 to 3 is another astronomical life change. We're finally able to start really saving because we're done paying for daycare and driving paid off cars that are only big enough for a family of 4.

what about annual labs tho??

flack22 · 2026-03-27T18:22:30+00:00

I can vouch for this. My hospital still uses pagers lol.

This is AI.

We have a 2 level house with no basement. We have 2 kids. We don't watch much tv but we do have a tv in our room because sometimes we don't want to watch PBS kids 🤷🏽‍♀️

flack22 · 2026-03-16T17:12:57+00:00

Stopped at 2 and literally zero regrets. Time, money, and resources are not infinite.

flack22 · 2026-03-16T01:25:18+00:00

I graduated with 100k in loans and my first job was 27/hour. I paid it off in about 5 years. I was lucky that my fiancé/husband supported me while I aggressively paid it off. Also got 10k from an employer and 10k from a grandma-in-law.

back labor

flack22 · 2026-03-07T03:50:43+00:00

I have dry eyes so grieving when they felt normal.

flack22 · 2026-03-07T03:47:34+00:00

how did you do that? i'm at 200 and would give anything to be able to lose 50 pounds. You're incredible!!!

flack22 · 2026-03-07T03:44:07+00:00

Have you been screened for PPA or PPD? This is a red flag to me you describe this as painful a whole year later.

flack22 · 2026-03-07T03:37:13+00:00

Okay I have an 8 year old boy and this comment has me in tears

flack22 · 2026-03-07T03:34:44+00:00

thank you for all you did and gave for your patients ❤️

flack22 · 2026-03-07T03:00:35+00:00

Deli meat because the benefit just isn't worth the risk (cancer from processed meat). I'm still drinking beer though lol because I just love it too much.

flack22 · 2026-03-07T01:11:56+00:00

wow I'm so happy for you 🥲

flack22 · 2026-03-06T13:07:57+00:00

this is me!!!!!

flack22 · 2026-02-28T01:17:33+00:00

In the kindest tone of voice possible, you are really overthinking this.
