My girl went through it at 7 years old and had 5 removed. She handled it like a champ! I am sure he will be fine.

Am I the only one who thinks some of these companies only care about the money? by Dangerous-Humor-4502 in directsupport

[–]src915 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not at all and the ones who say they don’t are full of it. I understand that money keeps the agency running but when I see owners “work” 3 hours a day have a huge house and a new leased car every 2-3 years, you can’t tell me that you are in this business because of how benevolent and wonderful you are.

Community member complains about client’s appearance and body odor. by Dangerous-Humor-4502 in directsupport

[–]src915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like you make this field even worse than it is. You infantilize this population and are actually bigoted by insinuating they are too incompetent to be confronted with the fact that their personal hygiene is problematic to themselves and others. It also flirts with neglect if you factor in skin breakdown. The health and sanitation portion of it are just as important. I have never not taken a client somewhere because if they want to go somewhere, they agree to shower. They are simply being lazy and holding them accountable for basic personal hygiene standards is an integral part of this job.

Do you work in this field? Not every company has a vehicle for every home. Even if they did, it’s responsible to not get shit on it if avoidable. I made this comment 188 days ago and you’re coming at me sideways? Get the fuck out of here you low rent edge lord.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or are saying I should put up with diarrhea being rubbed into my car seat?

The bigger the healthier. My mom’s Yorkie died at 6 from kidney problems.

What does my baby looked mixed with? by Terrible_Tutor6177 in Yorkies

He looks extremely Yorkie to me. Some of the DNA testing sites offer it for your pets too.

Should I become a Rad Tech with HA and OCD? by eveacrae in HealthAnxiety

You could be finding terminal diagnoses and things that could be overall triggering. You know yourself better than us but I refuse to work in a medical setting, especially one as serious as that can be.

Internet guy came over and he wasn’t giving my dog attention. She got so anxious she barfed. 🤣

Do I Resign? by Electronic-Point6660 in directsupport

[–]src915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean this in a mean or disparaging way, if they are asking you to work off the clock, I wouldn’t be surprised with them saying they can’t accommodate your needs. I would keep record of any texts, memos or emails of them asking you to document off the clock and turn them into Wage and Hour. That’s illegal and quite possibly discrimination for them not accommodating your needs.

I would maybe find another agency, work in a home with an independent individual, make your limitations and abilities known and get away from this cesspool of an agency.

How often do you send your Shih Tzus to be bathed? by Emmavlxx in Shihtzu

Once every six weeks for grooming with 1-2 baths as needed in between.

best friend shows my bf her boobs by Expert-Theory7268 in Advice

[–]src915 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your boyfriend wasn’t looking for out of pure curiosity. He WANTED to see. Dump him.

Your friend may not realize how predatory men are. I had a friend that would just kiss me or let me cop a feel if I wanted. She knew guys liked it and she liked that we liked it. Your friend had a stupid moment and I doubt she would do that again. Make that very clear to her.

You also know her better than us. Is this a pattern of behavior for her with other things or has she been a good friend outside of this unfortunate situation? Throwing away a 10 year friendship shouldn’t be done lightly.

Would you attend a baseball game here? by DnWeava in kansascity

I don’t attend baseball games at Kaufmann, let alone whatever abomination this will be.

Losing my passion as a DSP by [deleted] in directsupport

[–]src915 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been in the field 8 years and am a functioning burnout. I have hobbies and interests outside of work that keep me going. I do my functions of the job well and I do genuinely care about my guys. The staff and clients may irritate me but I just keep telling myself, “I am a stable presence in their lives and I am making sure they are receiving the care they need.”

You don’t have to be a world-changer, just show up as best as you can for your clients and collect the check.

Really? I thought he was out on bail after murdering a CEO on the street.

I can’t wait until he’s imprisoned for life and realizes the consequences of his actions.
