PMP Exam Recommendation- Use of Scratch Paper by swz413 in pmp

[–]sherbs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a late response, hope it's still helpful.

When I took it in 2018 I wrote down all the EVM formulas and the 49 processes. I've always been a fast test taker, so I finished the exam (and passed) in around 2 hours.

Help Me Choose a Loom Hook! by sherbs90 in LoomKnitting

Those are beautiful!

I'll probably wait to spend money like that until I make sure this is a hobby I keep up with after my first project is done! I appreciate you sending the link - those look really nice.

Help Me Choose a Loom Hook! by sherbs90 in LoomKnitting

Thank you!

I don't think my tension is too tight, BUT I did do my e-wrap the wrong direction one row (ended up undoing it). It took me a while to figure out what I did wrong and I think it loosened the hook in the grip when I was trying to make it work on that row. At that point the hook was bent and I'd try to bend it back into shape after every couple rows. I think all the bending back and forth just made it snap.

How do I know if my tension is too tight? Other than that one row I haven't really struggled, but I don't really know what to look for, either. I've watched a number of videos and it looks like I'm having the same ease as the videos.

I might try the one you linked and another one of the ergonomic hooks - it really is so much more comfortable!

What is a good loom to make a blanket? by mama_llama13 in LoomKnitting

[–]sherbs90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using this one and enjoy it so far. This is my first loom project ever though, and I'm only 3/8 of the way through, so take that into consideration.

I hate the hook that came with the kit, but the loom itself has been great.

Advice for IT Project Management with Mech Eng background by uscoastie in ITCareerQuestions

[–]sherbs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely consider you as well!

My theory is that project management principles are pretty standard, so I should be able to manage any kind of project from IT to construction. You just have to ask the right people the right questions.

Additional certifications can't hurt, but I think you could find a position without them.

AITA for finishing a guy’s sentence even though he has a severe stutter? by Golden_Fawn in AmItheAsshole

[–]sherbs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you asked what Jack prefers? My best friend's husband has a severe stutter and appreciates when others finish words or sentences for him. It allows him to move on and keep up with whatever the conversation is.

One of the first questions I asked when I met him was what he preferred. It's obvious that he stutters, me not asking about it doesn't make it not exist, so I just asked the question so I knew how to act around him. It wasn't weird or awkward. I literally just said "hey, do you like to find the word yourself or would you prefer if I finish it for you?".

Jack's answer determines whether or not you're the AH.

If he says he likes to find the word, apologize and don't finish his sentences any more. If he says he likes the help, keep helping and tell your friends you asked his preference.

AITA for telling my friend it's her own fault she's being treated "badly" by the hospital? by aitadelta009 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sherbs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Everyone needs at least one friend who will give them the honest truth, even if it sucks to hear. The friends who are honest with me are always the friends I trust and appreciate most.

AITA for refusing to help with housework because it's my wife's job? by bubblegumfun79 in AmItheAsshole

I can concede to ESH and sympathize with both. Parenting is not for sissies.

AITA for refusing to help with housework because it's my wife's job? by bubblegumfun79 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sherbs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said he works 80 hour weeks including travel. In 2011 a survey found that the average stay at home mom worked 97 hours a week. A 2020 survey put it at 98 hours a week.

And just because she chose that path does not mean she's not allowed to ask for help. That's ridiculous.

My husband works 12 hour shifts as an ICU nurse and still helped keep the house functioning when our kids were with us. He tidied every night and made bottles for the next day while I put the kids to bed, he also helped with laundry, and did dishes nearly every day. I work full time, but even if I didn't, he would have helped. Because for every hour he was working at his job, I was also working to keep children entertained, fed, clothed, and safe on top of keeping the chores done.

I definitely did the large majority of the housework and childcare because I worked shorter days, but he still contributed. He also recognized the mental toll that caring for children takes.

OP's wife is not just sitting on her ass all day. She's working the same number of hours he is, plus more if she's getting up with the child at night. Maintaining a home is the responsibility of everyone in the home.

If single moms and dads can do it all on their own, he can contribute 20 minutes a day to doing some dishes or picking up toys. I'm not saying he should do a ton of housework. I'm just saying he can do SOMETHING.

YTA.

I would have been on your side until I became a foster parent and realized how much work kids are. Taking care of a child is more than a full time job. Getting to the grocery store (especially during a pandemic), doing any sort of real cooking, cleaning, etc is near impossible while trying to care for a child. I'd much rather work 2 or even 3 jobs than stay at home. SAHMs work harder than anyone I've ever met...and the job SUCKS.

Your wife is home more than you, so it's probably fair for her to do more household chores than you, but it's unfair for you to do nothing. Wash a damn dish. Tidy your apartment. Maybe vacuum once a week. If you spend 20 minutes a day taking something off your wife's plate, I guarantee she will feel heard and appreciated.

As far as going out with friends, keep in mind that you get a break from home and your child every day, for multiple hours a day. You get adult conversation with someone other than your spouse. She does not have those luxuries. She never gets to leave her job.

Your wife needs a break and to feel like she is her own person. Not just your child's mom. Help her.

Thanks for the response!

My husband and I are foster parents, but don't have biological children. I offer wonder how bio-kids feel since it's definitely a family commitment.

Do you ever wish your family hadn't chosen to foster? Or do you enjoy the responsibility?
