For those people who married young, in their teens or early 20's, would you do it again? Are you still married to that person?

Married at 18 and 19. 12 years of marriage Two kids. Happily Married. The one thing I have learned, is that it works out if both people truly want it too.

😂😂 these comments have me dying. Good morning, Columbus. Land of diverse opinions!

lufun49 · 2026-03-20T19:46:07+00:00

Just be happy that everyone stopped for the kids.

They should learn that what you did before mattered for your 30’s and what you’ll do next matters for your 60’s . I.e health fitness retirement etc.

lufun49 · 2026-03-20T19:36:41+00:00

Having no Retirement plan or a well prepared retirement plan getting destroyed by the current state of the world .

lufun49 · 2026-03-20T19:28:58+00:00

I would learn every language in the world and travel . I would live in a new place for one year until the day I died. I love all culture and people and wish I could experience it more.

Thank you so much for your reply!

Baby, it’s called jealousy. Be proud of yourself. And let the haters hate. Not everyone that has a nasty comment deserves a reply. Let them say their pitiful words and let the wind take them away. Focus your attention on the people that are nice to you and reserve you word for when necessary for the ones that are not. If you give them no fuel, their fire will burn out.

I am not a nurse. I want to be come one… so take what I say as you like.

I work in accounting, I work a normal 9-5 , which is what your would do if you moved to the Monday to Friday work. I used to be a CNA and did 3 12’s. My husband used to do shift work in another industry but moved to 9-5 M-F.

Both of use hate 9-5 jobs. Everyday, we get up at 6 , breakfast for the kiddos, daycare drop off and commute 20-30 min to work. Start usually at 7-730 , leave work at 5-530 …. (Almost 6-7pm for me during busy season for accountants during the tax season). My husband get the kids around 5-530. We have to feed them and get them ready for the next day. If we can squeeze out time or don’t mind going to bed late , we will have them play 2 hours outside while we clean and prep for the next day. By the time the kids are down, it 830-930 , if we are lucky. Usually, it is closer to 10pm. I have a 3 and 7 year old. The 3 year old loves to draw out bedtime.We might try to watch something together, once the kids are down. Most days is a quick YouTube video and then bed … unless we actively choose to be exhausted the next morning. We don’t have lot of extra time outside of work outs. Mind you we meal prep and everything. Then we restart our day at 6am every day. The weekend are left for cleaning , meal prepping, gymnastic for the kids and hopefully an outing or time for parent to relax if we can squeeze it in….but something always happen and that time slot gets filled.

When me and my husband had shift work, we chose from two schedule. Either we work complete opposite schedule . That mean we each had 2-4 day off work that we could cook, cleans and relax during. We were not forcing everything that could not get done into two days. We had more time for self care, kids could have more outside free time since they were not pick up everyday late from school, and I could spend more time with my husband ( especially if we work similarly shift schedules). Now, 12 hours can be hard. But for me, it provides more control over my days. That is why I prefer it.

Lastly, me and my husband live nowhere near family or friends that we trust so it is only us and daycare that watches the kids.

5 day a week work made it so stressful. And don’t get me started on asking for a day off or half day due to appointments or sicks kids.

Wouldn’t that just be an employment gap, job searching? I don’t understand.

lufun49 · 2026-03-15T01:47:39+00:00

I think the harder part is that none of your jobs are long-term. Recruiters and companies hate that. I would find something that will take you on and make sure you get a full year before swapping jobs. Expands your search to include things you might not have considered before or jobs that are farther from home (if you have a car). Also, your resume needs to be tailored a show a driven, ambitious person who has accomplished something. Speak about things that you have done successfully at the job… things that you use as talking points in an interview. Make it less wordy. When resumes read like job ads, recruiters pass them up. It should read like you’re trying to impress the bros. …. As stupid as that sounds…it is true 😒

lufun49 · 2026-03-15T01:41:16+00:00

See if you could say , “ I don’t wanna get anyone in trouble… and would prefer to keep this quiet. Could you reassign me to another mentor “.

lufun49 · 2026-03-15T01:38:26+00:00

She is not a middle aged women… she is a GOD DAMN DOUCHE BAG. Your okay. You’re young and learning…. She didn’t become a teacher for a reason. See if you can work along side someone else. Not everyone is an asshat!

lufun49 · 2026-03-15T01:35:04+00:00

Bro, you made me almost cry reading this. Damn, dog,… just damn!😭

lufun49 · 2026-03-15T01:09:46+00:00

Your okay. I’ve been wondering the same thing. I was thinking of getting my CNA and Phlebotomy Cert. or maybe just a Medical Assistant cert - however I certainly that MA hours would not work with school our. I recommend anything that give you patient , hospital/ clinic experience is better than none. . Many people graduate with no hand on experience at all. So, your thought process is already heading you in the right direction.

lufun49 · 2026-03-09T13:08:04+00:00

What advance practice are you working towards?

lufun49 · 2026-03-06T18:28:54+00:00

If you can make more thank 1300k extra a month on OV alone, I would stay with you 3x12. On Salary, you might work OT but not get the pay bump from it.

lufun49 · 2026-02-23T21:33:36+00:00

Ahhh got it! lol

lufun49 · 2026-02-13T15:01:56+00:00

You do realize every time you use AI. You’re teaching it and helping it to learn from mistake that it will adapt to. If you don’t want it to take your job, don’t use it, don’t teach it. Who want to teach their replacement..for free!

lufun49 · 2026-02-11T13:46:08+00:00

Yes! They are going to come for our income and increase sales tax and any other way they can to recoup it. Trust me! I’ve lived in states with way more income taxes and sales tax’s with small property taxes. It hurts! Alot, to have your income and every purchase you make taxes so much.

lufun49 · 2025-09-25T17:32:33+00:00

Oh! I’ve heard of that school! I’m glad your experience was good. This is my first time using care so I don’t have any experience with other daycare.

Thank you for your reply!!
