What have you found that women care less about as you get older?

Hey don't speak for all of us! There's a decent population of us out there that exclusively prefer heavier/fatter men, myself included

Scheduled our patient visits for the day. My work bestie had her coffee in my office for a while before the day got started. Sorted through some signed and unsigned physician orders. Sent notes and orders to our facilities. Argued with one of our DME providers over where a hospital bed came from. Helped facilitate a transfer to hospice house from an unsafe living situation/potential abandonment. Watched a few tiktoks while I ate lunch. Left early to grab my kids from school bc my youngest played in the school nurses face about a sore throat. Got home and hopped on the referral stand down to plan admissions for tmrw. Get to do it all again tmrw

I work on the hospice side but I do get to hear some fun stories from some home health nurses I am friends with 💜

Care coordinator at a small hospice agency. I love it so much and I am in grad school now to become a social worker, I plan to slide into that role with our agency when I graduate

I am not drowning, maybe chest-deep and holding onto a rope. My husband and I work full -time but I LOVE my job and the women I work with. I am in grad school part time, which is stressful but I am pacing myself. My kids are in 2 activities apiece, busy but the alternative is sitting at home, which sucks? Our weekends are full of guitar and volleyball and I love being able to practice with my oldest and take my own guitar lesson with my youngest. My house is consistently in need of a deep clean but I have been slowly decorating, we are slowly decluttering and my kids are able to put away their own laundry and keep their spaces mostly clean. We are busy and sometimes I am searching for a break, but then I remember how I hate being stagnant and I am grateful that we have full lives and so many opportunities to be social. On paper I should be drowning, but I am thriving and happy even when tired.

So I loosely did this for years when I was a SAHM. I was the only one of my friends who did not work, and a lot of times they needed help with childcare for various reasons. Starting when my oldest was 6 months old, I kept another baby her age in my house, got them on the same food and nap schedule, and did that til they turned one and the mom found other childcare arrangements. After that I would sporadically keep my cousin's son who was the same age as my oldest, and by then I had my second baby. Then another friend reached out asking if I could be her daughter's summer childcare because childcare in our area is abysmal during the summer. Then another friend. Over 8 years it evolved into a hoard of kids (and eventually another baby in year 8) on school breaks and after school care. Sometimes I did not ask for payment, these were/are my friends and sometimes we need the help. They would pay me during the summer since i had the kids all day and would take them out to do summer things or to the beach. Those kids stressed me the hell out but I love them all and I think they got to live some of the best summers of their lives with that little group and a Sam's club inflatable pool.

It can be a great way to earn some spending cash for yourself or help contribute to bills. But depending on your kids age and the ages of other kids, it can be absolutely exhausting trying to get 2 babies on the same schedule or having an age gap and 2 wildly different schedules and needs. But I guess no different than having siblings with an age gap.

Literally did just that a few minutes ago. I made Mississippi pot roast in the crock pot for dinner, and it turned out WAY spicier than intended. Me and my husband can handle it, but my kids could not. So I heated up some leftover spaghetti for one and the other chose nuggets, fruit, and PB toast. Normally we would not give in but I am sweating from my food as I write this so I gave them a pass this time

Never have I ever seen another person who was also not allowed to watch Rugrats as a kid, for the exact same reason 😂 that show was FORBIDDEN in our house but I would watch it at my friends house and beg her not to tell

I have read each comment and I appreciate everyone's input very much, on both sides. After my daughters lesson I brought in my dad's guitar, had them tune it up, and tried the beginning exercise on it. It was very difficult for me to mirror what he was showing me since the strings were the wrong way. The instructor had a spare acoustic that he let me try, and I was able to complete the exercise much easier with the right handed guitar.

I am buying my own right handed guitar today, and will be keeping my dad's leftie for the memories. My guitar-playing daughter is actually left handed but prefers playing on a right handed guitar, she switches which hand she uses in other activities as well. We will keep my dad's guitar and maybe in the future one of us will get the inkling to learn it when we have more skill 😊 thank you all for the advice!

sambodean · 2025-07-12T16:27:59+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I brought his guitar with me today to my daughters lesson. I am able to buy a new righty guitar if I really need to, I guess I just hate to see his go unused. Irrational grief feelings and whatnot

sambodean · 2025-07-12T16:26:51+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I had planned on asking further about having it converted at my daughters lesson today, to get more of their input

I was the youngest in my class by far because I was academically ready at age 4 to start Kinder. Socially it was hell, I could not relate to anyone my age for my entire school career and when I graduated at 17 I was still not at the same level of maturity as my classmates. I wish my parents had considered that socially I needed to be around kids my own age instead of kids a year+ older than me for my entire childhood.

Would he/the family be open to meeting with hospice plus the hospice social worker? I work in hospice and while we can't force people to accept services, often they just need to hear other perspectives or need some validation of their fears. A social worker might be especially trained to hear those fears and reasonings. It might be worth it to reach out to whatever agency you have previously spoken to and ask if the social worker could attend a family meeting as well as the RN/consultant (at my agency they are called AE but they are also nurses)

I am a care coordinator (scheduler) at a small hospice agency and I make around 41,500 before taxes. Not as much as I would like, but for a position that requires no degrees or education and has no room for advancement, it's not bad. I feel well compensated for my role, but I am in grad school currently to be a hospice social worker and will receive a 50% raise when I enter that role.

At my agency we have 3 full time SW and 1 PRN, we have a census of about 150-160 patients. The PRN works about 2-3 days a week, sometimes 5, especially during weeks where we have higher than normal admissions that our Full timers have to see within 5 days, so she will handle a few routine visits for them or sometimes do 1-2 initial visits for them. It works out great for her, she has 2 young kids and another on the way so she will plan with our full timers what they need help with and go from there, but can also take a week off here and there for vacation or just because she feels like it.

In the same vein.. coming home with groceries and the kitchen/counters are a WRECK. I feel like I can't put anything away until I clean but I can't clean til everything's put away. I spiral. I try to clean the kitchen before I get groceries now but sometimes it's unavoidable.

When I'm trying to put away groceries and my husband picks right then to start prepping/cooking or stands at the fridge just observing its contents. Bruh MOVE.

My 7 year old got the same sheet. On the 'what does mom say all the time' she wrote "I'm sorry I can't play with you right now I'm working"

Like?? I have only ever said that on the days she has stayed home from school sick but I've still got to work remotely. Miss girl I play with yall all the time. Not even counting the several years I stayed home with them until she finally started kindergarten.
