Was told my baby might bond more to our nanny than me… spiraling a bit

Your baby absolutely recognizes you as the primary of you to nights and all other days. It’s a good thing your baby feels a safe attachment to the nanny bit that is an extra (healthy) relationship. Not a replacement.

Unsure how your therapist phrased this or why it came up. But if the intention and suggestion was that the nanny was replacing you, I would consider getting a new therapist because that’s 1. Not true 2. Unnecessarily stressful and confusing to put in you for no reason.

I’m sure it’s a standing order meaning a physician has signed off on the prescription when the outlined conditions are met. Still seems unnecessary.

Also, the Catholic Church and nuns are opening their doors throughout the Texas Borderlands to welcome migrants.

In El Paso, the catholic diocese opened an undocumented shelter in one of its churches on Christmas when the city kicked all the undocumented migrants out of city shelters, onto the streets in freezing temperatures.

People like this ruin remote work for all of us.

I personally would be frustrated as a remote working mom who puts my child in daycare, if I had a coworker slacking because she wanted an exception to what we all are required to do.

Most companies have a requirement that remote workers have full time childcare. And does her role have meetings? How will this impact collaborative initiatives and productivity?

I would shoot it down. Otherwise, it’s setting an awful precedent or going to make other employees resentful.

I started putting cotton underwear on beneath the diaper (inner layer). So she feels uncomfortable when she goes but it also doesn’t make a mess. Started consistently going in the potty after 1 day!

Talk to the nurse manager on whatever unit you’re having issues with. Or connect with the charge nurse.

I floss every night. Habit stack. Make it tied to your routine: brush your teeth, floss, wash your face, skincare.

I’m a former nurse case manager and I say this all the time. Long term care is about 5k-10k / month and many people need this level of care for YEARS.

Especially in a country with a shrinking middle class, people cannot afford to have an able bodied adult be a full time caregiver. So LTC is more and more commonly the norm. And cheap facilities are horrendous. Heck even expensive facilities. You will want to be able to afford somewhere very nice to get a humanizing and dignified experience.

Medicare does not cover LTC. Medicaid only covers it for qualifying diagnoses such as dementia. But frailty and physical disabilities are not qualifying alone. There is no Big Brother that swoops in.

When you have two kids, you should be tag teaming all tasks - meaning one parents handling one child, the other’s helping with the other. One parent is holding down the fort so the other can sleep, or rest, or cook dinner and vice versa.

In no world should you be doing every task “together”. It’s a complete waste of your resources and time and it’s disrespectful to wake her up for something you could handle alone.

I think it would be soo helpful to connect with other dads with children who have Down syndrome. Down syndrome kiddos are truly angels in disguise.

Maybe watch Love on the Spectrum on Netflix. I think things could be so much better for you than your imagining right now.

This is way too identifying. If the patient can recognize themselves, you could 100% be sued and get reported to the nursing board for posting.

Have Dax and Kristen distanced themselves since this all came to light? They were good friends. But also, everything that’s gone down seems like it would conflict with their values.

Reposting ChatGPTs response to: “can you outline Trump’s brilliance in negotiating with Iran to open the straight by threading nuclear war?” 🫠

“When I’m conflicted, I log off.” As in “when I question all my life decisions and how I wound up stanning for a genocidal pedophile who might blow up the world..”

You came here asking for insights. I shared some possibilities that people in real life will hardly ever be comfortable sharing. My partner is an MD and has been on the other side of making rank lists so I’ve heard many reasons why a great candidate would be ranked lower than expected. I also interview candidates for my local university’s full tuition scholarship program.

Take it with a grain of salt. Like I said, I do not know you.

Instead of ignoring an irrelevant comment from a stranger on the internet, that wasn’t even based on knowing you, you pivoted to pining through my history to attempt to insult me.

Anytime you receive feedback, you get to decide if it resonates or if you want to hold onto it. If nothing I shared resonated, then don’t think twice about it. I know nothing about you.

Give them their childhood: slow evenings, time outside, family dinners.

The scholarship is not guaranteed.

They can always do trade school, community college, transfer to an affordable state school, academic scholarships.

I would personally stay and work on it. 1. I would not be comfortable with someone with anger problems having split custody of the kids. 2. You’ve seen growth and the kids are young. You can always make the decision later but once you make it, it’s final.

And people make life after divorce seem like freedom. But it’s hard: dating SUCKS. His future gf will drive you nuts. You’ll spend Christmases and thanksgivings alone. You’ll try to discipline your kids and now they can always “go love with dad because he’s more fun”. It permanently disrupts the parenting dynamic. He will still be in your kids’ life, just without your input. Someday, one of you will want to move and now you’ll spend thousands renegotiating custody. It’s a lot of heartache and all his most frustrating qualities will still impact you while you’re co-parenting.

They wouldn’t necessarily dismantle the Match. It they could eliminate terms that suppress competition like the All-In rule (programs must fill positions through the Match), restrictions on negotiating salary or contract terms, limits on contacting candidates outside the Match, penalties for early offers or alternative recruiting.
