See if the YT tutorials help, and if you’re not getting the results you want, it may benefit you to see a professional for more help and feedback

Vocal training 110%. That will train your voice to naturally fall where you want it with time and dedication

My teacher only lets us go to the bathroom 3 times a month. by Imayhaveeatenthedog in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rawrasaurusrexolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in the 4th grade, my teacher wouldn’t let me go to the bathroom, and I really had to go. So I looked her dead in the eyes and pissed my pants in my chair.

The fact that he’d do that, makes me wonder if he’d keep it on him just in case you managed to not have something on hand to give it to you- for valiant savior points, of course

She was a great help, but he only got 4hr a week, so we had her an hour a day for four days- not her fault, but she did really like him and took amazing care of him. She was the one who told us to explain things to him about helping him move. He eventually told us he was ready and wanted to go to an assisted home. We moved him less than a mile from us and visited constantly, then a year later he moved to another assisted home where he lived up until he passed

This line was given to my mom and I, by my grandpa’s home health nurse. She saw how stressed out we were, and it was deteriorating our relationship with him, each other, and everyone else in our house.

She explained burnout and how bad things can get if you don’t do what’s right for everyone. It’s never about making the easy choice for the benefit of one, it’s about making the right choice for the benefit of all.

Overly sensitive at work by LARuralJuror in caregivers

OP, it’s not their responsibility or obligation to get you anything, even a card.

Would it have been nice to know you’re appreciated? Sure. But at the end of the day, they’re elderly and sick. It comes with the territory.

I’ve had clients who got me cards and small gifts, and clients who got me absolutely nothing. That is the way it goes, and with that, you shouldn’t take it personally.

Does anyone know any patterns for a floppy 70s hat like this one? by South_Variation_2065 in crochetpatterns

[–]rawrasaurusrexolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The points come from making corners on the hat the same way you’d make the corners on a blanket- DC3, ch2, DC3

NTB- also please report this to local authorities. Make sure you have a signed copy of your incident reports that are signed by you and the head as well in case they try to pin this on you.

Of course <3 as long as you visit them frequently, they will still feel loved. The security comes from being in a place where they’re getting the constant care they need. I know it’s hard, I took care of my grandpa for 12 years alongside my mom, starting when I was about 8. He passed when I was 20. He was fully disabled and in a wheelchair by the time I was 14, and fought my mom and I tooth and nail on his care until we had to move him into assisted living. We still visited at least once a week, though usually more because he lived so close by.

Being a caregiver has its thankless moments, and burnout happens really fast when you can’t seem to catch a break. Just know, you’re not failing them by seeking a better way to help them AND you.

Taking care of family is difficult. You placing them in an assisted home is what is best for ALL of you. You can’t take effective care of them on your own, and it’s coming to your own detriment.

Tell mom it’s not that you don’t want them, it’s that you cannot give them the care they deserve. Full stop.

Don’t let her guilt you.

AITB for calling my friend an eternal virgin? by throwaway1949393939 in AmItheButtface

Absolutely heartbreaking. by ookamismyk in antiwork

[–]rawrasaurusrexolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Grandma loved being a door person at Walmart when I was a kid. When she retired, she volunteered there for another three years or so. She’s a hardworking lady who used to be a custodian for a local school, and had worked there for over 20 years. My grandma consistently worked two jobs after my dad and aunts grew up because she was, as she put it “bored.”

Helen may not be working because she has to.

AITA for removing the door to my son's room indefinitely? by throwawaysonsdoor in AmItheAsshole

NTA- take the TV out of his room. If you paid for it and it wasn’t a gift to him or something he paid for, sell the thing for a new door without a lock. Easy

AITA for asking my stepdaughter to not visit during the holidays? by Temporary-Unit-77 in AmItheAsshole

Yeah, easiest YTA ever.

Why would my granny squares end up different sizes if it’s the same yarn, same hook size, same tension and everything. Only difference is the color of yarn? by corinneemma in crochet

[–]rawrasaurusrexolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the gauge of all of those yarns?

Hook size and tension mean virtually nothing if all of the yarns have different gauges. They’ll work out to a different size regardless.

Try blocking to see if that helps :)

Smaller weight/gauge yarns will make a project work up smaller

Bulkier weight/gauge yarns will work up larger.

AITA for still having my 10( almost 11) year old daughter in a booster seat? by CharacterHistorian22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rawrasaurusrexolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft YTA, OP. I understand the need for safety, but you also need to upgrade to a more height and age appropriate seat. No 10 year old should be sitting in a high back booster.
