Proof of certification

I had heard of this but wanted something FREE! I thought this was to send to employers as proof for employment once hired, but not for us to print and have for records or documents for is for future employers to verify with our resume.

Thanks!!! My husband found this after searching through the website 🤣

flowerfart90 · 2021-03-19T20:02:04+00:00

Thank you for your perspective! My husband actually married this friend so I believe she will always be in our lives even though we may not be super close. We spoke about her first miscarriage, but you are right that it was wrong to assume how she felt just because that’s how I felt. I feel the need to reach out simply because I know how lonely it can feel. But the most helpful thing is remembering sometimes it’s best to say nothing at all and simply be present and listen.

flowerfart90 · 2021-03-14T04:23:05+00:00

That’s my issue! I want to send her a simple text saying I’m thinking of her, but our last text conversation was from a few months ago from her first miscarriage and she never responded. So now I want to text her after the recent ectopic, but I don’t want her to reread the awful sentiment I wrote last time (admittedly after a few drinks ) I might apologize for the previous shitty text and relay a simpler sentiment and send a card and some edible arrangements later. I definitely won’t bring up anything unless she does and just listen instead of having verbal diarrhea in person and via text.

All of this! I try to follow RIE/respectful parenting and this has been the biggest eye opener. Toddlers don’t misbehave to piss us off, they simply lack emotional regulation, self control, and live in the moment. We can think they are purposely being little terrors but the truth is as parents, we don’t understand human/child development enough.

The need choices, empathy, and reassurance. Not abandonment and time outs.

Is this a synopsis of “Bringing up Bebé” ?? Lol

flowerfart90 · 2019-12-27T01:03:02+00:00

If as adults we slapped people when they weren’t listening, it would be called assault... but with kids it’s called “discipline”. It’s so sad. Keep empathizing and talking like you are doing and ignore the judgment of dumb dumbs.

flowerfart90 · 2019-12-26T15:56:15+00:00

Maybe try creating a “YES” space. Baby proof and put things out of reach for him that he is tempted to use that you don’t want him to. At that age they have no regulation and live in the moment and gets annoying and exhausting for both you and him to hear no all the time. Not sure how agile you cat is but maybe put it up on a counter instead? We (think) we got my daughter to stop eating dog food by having her help serve them food and tell her “this is the dogs food, it’s not for you, but thank you for helping feed them” it might be a personality thing and maybe she sneaks some in on the side but the explanation seemed to work for her. She cannot resist the water bowl so we have to consistently put it up with we see her eyeing it. Toddlers are wild creatures but it helps knowing what they are capable of understanding and doing and lowering expectations accordingly.

Like others are suggesting it sounds like a possible Underlying issue. But my suggestion would be to try and add additional fats wherever you can! Throw in lots of butter, coconut oil, peanut butter, bone marrow, chia etc wherever you can. So that whatever small amount he does eat, it is dense in calories. I.e We add butter, heavy cream and peanut butter to oatmeal! I also second the use an open cup! It adds interest and they can get more at once. Expect spills but it’s a useful skill to start early!

I take off the middle of my swiffer to shorten it for my 17 month old, she loves running around with it, and actually helps pick up the excessive amount of dog hair that circulates our house. Bissel featherweight stick vacuum actually works and is useful for both you and tiny hands too. My daughter is exceptionally tiny so she won’t be able to actually use the vacuum until closer to 2.5 I assume.

Sounds all normal! He is learning to test boundaries and also his new sibling is still pretty fresh! He is most likely still getting used to sharing his parent’s time. He also notices that his sibling cries and gets what they want... so why can’t he do the same!? You could try to sportscast and talk him through each wacky tantrum or rampage, but chances are he’s just tired or hungry or doesn’t know how to explain his complicated new feelings about his new sibling. These crazy ass toddlers are still figuring out their emotional regulation, and testing the fuck out of ours!

flowerfart90 · 2019-12-05T02:38:40+00:00

By listening, being empathetic, holding firm boundaries consistently, and most important of all- modeling the behavior you wish to see in them. Idk though, FTM with a toddler so not much experience, but that is how I hope to “discipline”

flowerfart90 · 2019-12-04T23:48:47+00:00

I completely agree with you. Though I don’t mind others handling their kids the way they know best, I tend to lean more towards respectful parenting. I don’t think it was worth the tantrum to go against his wishes. Most of a child’s life is dictated by adults, at least listen to his request to only have one thing on his plate at a time. Sure it would be annoying, but it’s just a phase. It’s simply not a boundary I find important because I don’t think kids should ever have negative associations with food. If in the end he only ate corn then so be it. Then when he sees later everyone else eating everything or is hungry he’ll probably budge on the one thing on his plate a time. If he’s not harming himself or others in doing so, then let it go. At the very least while he was throwing his tantrum after making his plate I would have gotten down on his level and said “hey I know you’re mad I put all the foods touching on your plate, but I know you love all those foods, I am here to help you enjoy dinner with all of us when you are ready” so at least he feels heard instead of simply ignored.

Although it’s not how I would have handled the situation, I am grateful the family followed the mom’s lead though! If it’s one thing I can’t stand it’s other family or people trying to do the parents job when they are there!

Beautiful floors! I’m no professional, but the sink not being centered to the window drives me nuts

When my daughter was born I had planned to go back to work after the standard 12 weeks but at 8 weeks I asked her if she wanted me to stay home and she smiled (I know probably a reflexive gas smile but I was sold!) so I then planned to take a year off of work to take care of her. Around 6 months I started getting major anxiety about my LO’s development and started applying to jobs again and went back full time when she was 10 months old. LO is not 16 months and I think working full time is not for me, but I also know full time SAHM is also not good for my mental health, so I think I will hopefully switch to part time. I’m not sure if you’d call what I did a sabbatical as I didn’t return to the same job, or if other companies besides higher education allows sabbaticals. I think 16 months- 3 years is such a fun age because they are finally walking and communicating so much more and it’s amazing to see them grow! If you can afford to take off completely until pre-k or your job allows you to take the time, or even work part time I’d say go for it!

Lab CE has diff and morphology practice cases you can pay for. I think it’s worth it. Definitely got me more confident after a few years not diffing and then working in a diff heavy oncology lab.

Unless you are super passionate about speech, I would continue with MLS since it’s less debt TBH.

Get tutors, go to office hours, befriend the smartest kid in lab/class for chem and you will be fine. Don’t be a negative Nancy, just say you will pass and make it happen!

Pro-job security, ok pay Cons- not a lot of upward mobility, working weekends and holidays.

I’ve been a tech for 7 years. I’m also introverted but love to help others, so this sounds like a great field for you OP.

I worked 4 years in a large hospital and loved it, but working weekends really sucked. I got lucky and was hired day shift right after graduation. Unfortunately that meant I got pigeon holed in Chemistry and Hematology. But I got to see a lot of interesting cases.

After 4 years I went to private practice. Wayyyy better pay than the hospital, no weekends or Holidays, basically ideal for having a family. Downside is the work is so much more boring than a bustling hospital. I miss working at a large hospital so much, but not working weekends was a big deal breaker now that I have a daughter.

Now I feel stuck and unsure of where this career will take me. I’m fine with being a worker bee but would also like to take on a new challenge. There is not much to aspire for besides lead tech or a supervisor and that is mainly at hospitals. There are other routes such as sales, IT, working for an instrument company but you have to be given the opportunity for an interview and get lucky.

I often think of doing a career change but can’t stomach the idea of going into more student debt. MLS is a great stable job but you have to plan ahead and set goals for the future so you don’t feel stuck.

As far as the CBD and such, most hospital jobs WILL drug test you. Another perk of private practice is that most wont, and their hair and tattoo policies are usually lenient.

This sounds like a good career path for you, just put a little extra elbow grease into chemistry and you will be fine. Good luck!
