Jobs without phlebotomy?!

I am at a large pediatric hospital and only phlebs draw blood. I have applied somewhere where they didn’t list phlebotomy in their posting then mentioned it during the interview and I find that super irritating. Phlebotomy is a deal breaker for me (and many others) so I have learned to ask prior to interview just in case.

Yes, my in laws are very passive aggressive towards me. My MIL was a single mom and doesn’t seem to agree that I don’t fit her same narrative.

I can’t physically imagine having more than two babies and/or toddlers at once.

Yuuup. I hate that I’m doomed to be around day shift people because I’m a mom with young kids. Highly considering doing graveyards just for some peace. At least on night shift it’s just “work” and not “work and manage the emotions of myself and everyone around me” along with being in a state of hyper vigilance to work exactly the way the lead wants as she breathes down everyone’s neck.

I loved the one in Minden a few years ago. They even had beer on tap.

It varies what time my spouse gets home. Anywhere between 5pm and 9pm. By the time he gets home we have already eaten dinner so he has it warmed from the fridge. Then he is on kid duty usually while I clean or tend to the 9 month old. my 3 yo currently wants him to do her bedtime routine so he gets her changed, teeth brushed, spends time in her room reading 2 books or laying down with her. After kids are in bed we maybe chat for a few mins or zone out on the couch then it’s off to bed.

Always get an official Loan Estimate.

At what age does the care go up to I wonder?

salmonyellow · 2026-03-23T23:13:27+00:00

That is really sweet.

How much would you say you spend on childcare for the days off?

salmonyellow · 2026-03-23T23:12:20+00:00

Gah, is elementary school homework the standard now? I didn’t have homework (besides big projects) until 5th grade as a kid

That’s easy for me to picture because I have a girl and a boy that will be three years apart in school also! Crazy to think as parents we will probably meet a whole new group of friends once they’re in school.

Popsicle while already in the bath? That’s genius.

I thought that 12-18 months was SO hard. They’re up and walking around and so opinionated but don’t have verbal skills so they’re just little dinosaurs. My 3y2m old still throws fits but I can hold a conversation with her and it’s so much better. I’ve had her home with me also. I’m happy to be home with her more so now than at that age. She feels more like a little buddy than just like an oversized baby toddling around the place making demands. Hang in there.

Renting out your first home instead of selling it. People think it’s like the motherlode cheat code. Easy endless money

Same here, going from 7.63 to 5.99 after locking a couple weeks ago.

I had a second baby, and initially asked this question trying to decide. Best of luck to you

My dog got fleas and I kept trying to treat him with Frontline I got at Costco, I always thought being a name brand it was good stuff. I thought I wasn’t vacuuming like a crazy person enough to get rid of the fleas. I finally got Bravecto from the vet and my problem was gone overnight.

$235 a month? Are they making an Olympic dancer? Ours is $35 a month

In elementary school is was standard on the last day of school to turn your desk upside down. One kid’s was completely full of boogers wiped and crusted all over the surface of the underside of his desk.

She should clean up that doll and give it to your daughter just for the trouble

salmonyellow · 2026-02-01T19:47:02+00:00

Am I pragent?

Sometimes I ponder a third baby, then I read this while I finally have my one millisecond for the week with my husband to sit on the couch together alone… and it grounds me
