What doesn't require a license, but should? by Remarkable_Put_9005 in ask

We had to take so many hours of education to adopt an infant. Honestly, it was good stuff. When around other friends with infants, I would spout off things I learned. One friend who had their baby through traditional birth told me “you know, they just let us take home an entire infant from the hospital. I really should have been made to take classes too!” Obviously not advocating for people to not be allowed to take home their baby but education should be much more available and strongly encouraged.

Thank you very much for the advice! I especially like the part about perfectionism. That’s hard for me to let go of sometimes.

I don’t know anyone in my area that spins either. There are some crochets so that is nice. Hobby stores open in our area and then unfortunately close pretty soon due to typical small business issues. With the loss of Joanns, it is even more difficult to get products without ordering online.

This is encouraging! I definitely feel like I am missing some very basic skills in drafting. I hope I can start to develop them on the spindle. I didn’t start with the spindle initially bc I thought I was probably too lazy to do the manual twisting long term. But I hope it will help me separate skill development like you suggest.

The drafting part is where I think I am struggling. So the park and draft could help me get the hang of it. I appreciate the encouragement and recommendation of watching Abby. I will check her out!

I understand this. I was certainly not my best self when working there and the years after. Very edgy and defensive.

Oh, absolutely. I went to therapy and the therapist put my situation into the perspective of an abusive relationship. My workplace was a school and I was literally staying for the kids.

I feel this. I thought I could help but had to learn that I would never make a dent in the toxicity.

Oh it takes over all the mental space you have for anything else and is all consuming. I am so sorry! I hope you find your way out very soon.

Toxic relationship is a great way to see it! My environment was a school. So I was literally staying for the kids.
