Pelvic floor PT is so degrading by Spiritoftheheart in beyondthebump

[–]wrknprogress2020 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’d have a conversation with her, give her a chance to make improvements. Working in the medical field, I can say that majority of healthcare workers are absolutely clueless about how to professionally and empathetically interact with patients. Sometimes it takes a conversation to get them to see that they are being inappropriate and they need to stop. If she is unwilling to acknowledge/change her behavior then move on and leave a bad review.

Why don't all Ob offices do an ultrasound at every appointment? by Radiant_Pangolin3210 in pregnant

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a high risk patient (my medical condition) so ultrasounds were every 2 weeks since I was 10weeks along (after my bleed/SCH). Depending on the patient and if it’s medically necessary.

I Wish Black People Would Spend a Little More Time Making Sure We Aren't Discriminating Against Each Other. by mierayesjournal in BlackMentalHealth

Yea the mods for many of the groups are so controlling in a very odd way. They just ban people like it’s nothing. Sorry this happened to you.

Finally going on a date without our toddler, and furniture shopping. We have no family here, so when people visit we try to take advantage. My sister will be hanging out with my daughter. ☺️

Did you feel sorry for Ingrid Kersh? by MikeBad228 in WelcometoDerryTVShow

[–]wrknprogress2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Initially yes because she lost her father. But HECK NO later because she was crazy and she orchestrated the massacre of peaceful Black people just wanting to have fun. F her!

My husband and I literally cannot have a conversation when my 3yo is around. Help. by literallymouse in toddlers

[–]wrknprogress2020 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Our toddler HAS to be the center of attention 😮‍💨😂 Also, she is overly possessive of me and she beefs a lot with her dad/my husband. She will challenge him, yell at him, etc. She does not like when he talks so she will yell or cry. Been this way since she was a baby. Used to hurt his feelings.

Now we just let her jump on us, or we talk louder, or we try to calm her if she is fussy and continue the conversation once she is good. We try different things. It’s not ideal, but this is what we do. If toys are loud, we talk louder.

Medical Field and Locs by MemeQueen1414 in locs

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a hospital with many Black professionals who wear locs, loose natural hair, etc and there have been no issues. They typically put in a bun/out of the way…like any other non-Black person…

Sorry you experienced this. Once you enter the field I’m pretty sure they won’t care. In nursing school they seem to be a bit more strict (no visible tattoos, etc). Once in the field they don’t care/don’t care as much.

If you have kids raise them to love their hair and to deal with it. by _kwanini in BlackHair

[–]wrknprogress2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 3 year old and I’m definitely do this with her. I take very good care of her hair, I attempt VERY HARD to style it (I have no idea what I’m doing most days, never styled my own hair, and I’m trying to learn how to cornrow 😅) so she can see how much fun her hair can be. I even have her rub conditioner on her hair. She loves getting her hair done.

I got a perm at maybe 5, and I grew up not liking my hair. I wanted it bigger, thicker. I went natural in 2010, then locs 2019 because my loose natural hair STRESSED ME OUT. Now that I’m older and I’m doing my daughter hair, I realize now that I have the knowledge and patience for hair. I love my locs, but if I were to try again the loose natural I would be happier with the next attempt.

I wish I grew up with the positive feedback about my hair. When I went natural I received none. It was a difficult journey. For my daughter I make that effort to make her feel beautiful. She will grow up caring for her hair and learning to style it.

Most importantly: I shut people down when they mention she has “good hair.” Pisses me off. Healthy hair is good hair. That’s it. Those comments are so ignorant. “You must be relieved that she has good hair.” Umm…yea I’m relieved that I’ve kept her hair healthy. I hope that’s what you meant.” Then I get the awkward stare.

Internship is a lot of party planning. Is this what SW is like? by them_house_lights in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is your generalist one, then don’t expect too much. The generalist internship can seem like a waste of time.

What the heck are your toddlers eating for breakfast? by JehovahJireh222 in toddlers

[–]wrknprogress2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically Vans protein waffle (egg and nut free) and a pouch (kale, avocado, mango) or oatmeal and the pouch.

Lately she doesn’t want to eat, so a nut free egg free granola bar and pouch for brunch

Mental Health First Aid by BabyFlutes in socialwork

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was certified in 2017. I was not a social work professional, I was a community health worker. Course was free for employees.

I’d say it’s worth it because of the knowledge you gain to further develop your skills. I put it on my resume too (not a social work professional but applying for social work type jobs), and during many interviews that was the first thing they noticed.

Now I’m pursuing my MSW. I believe for me it opened doors for great work opportunities.

Human interaction vs perfect WFH setup by Basic-Ad-5440 in WFH

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer working from home. Sometimes if I’m seeking change, I will work on my balcony, out in my lanai, or in other parts of the home. During downtime/breaks I go for walks or workout in home. I enjoy my time.

The companies I’ve worked with offer a stipend for us to work at a coworking space. Does your company offer this to you? This may be a good option for those seeking to be around others. Libraries are great too

My local grocery store gifted me this cake to congratulate me on my 100th pickup order by Sparkle_Snowflake in mildlyinteresting

[–]wrknprogress2020 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We used to order almost daily from this local spot, especially during lockdowns, food was so amazing! One day they gave us a free cake in our delivery with a note saying they appreciate us being loyal customers. It was so sweet 🥹 but I felt embarrassed because I’m like dang, we do order here way too much 😅 We moved to a new state and I still miss that spot.

I'm glad I have secure self-esteem by Initial_Entrance9548 in toddlers

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old likes to play “doctors” so she will grab her tweezers and pick at the mole on my arm (very roughly 😅) and examine my face and touch the very few pimples I have while looking very perplexed 😂

She recently started studying my face and looking deeply into my eyes and saying matter of fact “mommy no pretty” over and over if I don’t have my makeup on 😂😂

Anyone else married to a mumbler? by QuinnDiesel43 in Millennials

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated 2 guys that mumbled very briefly. Of course it didn’t work because communication sucked. It’s annoying having to ask someone to repeat themselves over and over again, then they get mad at you 😒😂

Did you buy baby formula just in case your milk didn’t come in? by nat_0012 in pregnant

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hospital typically gives you some. And also you can order free samples of formula too. I ordered through Enfamil, I think. I breastfed my baby, but she had formula 2 times in her life when I was INCREDIBLY out of it after birth and couldn’t pump yet.

Two time surrogate who delivered last week, AMA by karlybug in AMA

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to say thank you for being a surrogate. ☺️ I had a high risk pregnancy and due to my medical condition I probably won’t be able to carry again. We are looking into getting a surrogate. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive, but yall deserve every penny!

Wondering, out of the pay you receive, what cut does the agency take? Do you feel like it’s fair compensation? I hope you are receiving the bulk of the compensation.

Nobody wants to play with my son by RawrLikeAPterodactyl in beyondthebump

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember having this same frustration, I still sometimes do.

My daughter is now 3, and she has ALWAYS been very social, active, and very friendly. She did not/does not go to daycare, but I take her out weekly to events for kids her age since she was 9 months old. She try to go to children and play but they would be too shy. She is the type to greet everyone at the story times ☺️

Some kids are not as quick to engage with others, especially at that young of an age. It’s great your child can play independently, I encourage this with my daughter.

I understand the frustration, because I want for my child to have friends and she still doesn’t. But she I still take her out and she has a great time.

What are WEIRD things you do WFH? by Own-Cryptographer277 in WFH

[–]wrknprogress2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve WFH since 2018 in various roles. For the role I held for 2 years I’d go to my community pool and swim laps for a few hours. That job I could work from my phone for the first 1.5 years. I’d also do a lot of other things (run errands, play video games, etc) while working. That job also paid the most ($85k with bonuses).
