  • Jeez, alright, man. I get it. My lifestyle would harm a single pet. That's why I never considered having a companion until meeting my coworker's cat. I'll drop the idea.

  • Thank you lol I will keep that in mind!

  • I have experience taking care of one dog. I don't have experience with taking care of multiple pets concurrently and don't really feel comfortable doing so. I've never taken care of a single cat, so immediately jumping into two sounds incredibly daunting and I am quite frankly just not interested in doing so considering I have zero experience in that. It will already have the potential to be complicated enough when my mom visits with her elderly dog.

  • It is two days with one night in between (drive over Saturday morning and then back Sunday evening). Very rarely one additional night, but I haven't been wanting to do that lately. I used to drive in on Friday nights. But I have stopped wanting to drive over at night so I just do it the next morning.

  • Because I don't feel like I can care for multiple pets as a single person who lives alone? I know some do, but I am not comfortable with that. I don't understand why that is so odd. As I stated, my situation is exactly why I've never entertained this idea to begin with before recently.

    My career doesn't allow me to work from home. Not everyone has that type of a career. I am compensated well for what I do, so I am not interested in changing careers. If my conditions are harmful to a pet, then I won't get one. That's why I'm inquiring here.

  • Here's the thing, whether or not it's a "lifestyle" shouldn't even enter into the equation. Healthcare workers are supposed to treat everyone the same, regardless of what the patient has done or how they live. If you can't deal with that, don't go into healthcare.

  • What's y'all favorite soda/soft drink

  • Yeah but damn man...on a plane, a black coffee with some biscoff really fucking hits though.

    Jump

  • My mom almost exclusively buys her soft drinks from the fountain instead of canned/bottled because she insists it tastes better and is more carbonated!

  • Explains a lot about my everything

  • For me it is my dad instead of my mom!

  • What are good final words?

    Jump

  • Bro just stop eating cherries if you are allergic to them!! I know they taste fantastic but sometimes life kind of sucks.

    The dog is adorable, though. I hope it works out!

    Am I alone in this feeling?

  • I think you have to take a real sit down with your girlfriend and try to explain this with her. I know she just wants to commiserate with someone, but if it's damaging your mental health then it might be a better idea for her to find another political outlet.

  • Wow...similar experience growing up I guess. My dad was very verbally abusive to my mom and a bit to my older sibling. Some physical abuse in private too I guess. The rest of us siblings didn't really get that from him.

    As a kid I would always ask my mom why she didn't leave my dad. Thankfully she did eventually in my case. Been over 10 years since she left and I think has improved her life remarkably. Older sibling has also gone no contact with my dad so that's good there too.

    I'm sorry your parents are still together like that.

  • I wouldn't say that I was spoiled, but growing up middle class without parental abuse towards myself I think would rank me pretty highly on this. I didn't realize how privileged I had it until I became an adult. Probably 8/10.

    However, my dad was abusive to my mom and a bit to my older sibling. So for my older sibling the score would probably be significantly lower.

  • I've been told that I "bottle things up and then explode". How do you not "explode"?

    Jump

  • Yes I have very recently. It is currently an ongoing ordeal but I am not hopeful. People have gone to HR about my supervisor before and it has never changed anything.

  • Thank you for your lengthy message. Many others on here are quick to shun and judge me.

    I actually didn't realize that there was a difference between counselling and therapy. I'm sure I could use both, but that is a good thing to be made aware of. I have both stress and anxiety haha!

    The vast majority of my outbursts are with my supervisor. I do on occasion have it with someone else if I feel they are treating others inappropriately.

    From the internet, a lot of people ask me why I don't just quit. In some scenarios it's not really that simple and really not what I want to do. I don't entirely feel comfortable as to stating all the reasons why, but you just have to trust me on this.

  • I have not threatened to stab anyone. I don't think that just because my boss doesn't threaten me with physical violence that it can't be psychologically damaging. With all due respect, that is a very inappropriate response and comparison.

    My supervisor nitpicks me and lectures me for every single little thing that I do. Often I am not even actually making mistakes, but just exercise judgement that is different from hers. The kicker is that she wants me to exercise my own judgement about work tasks, refusing to make specific policies on what she wants. But then she chastizes me for not telepathically knowing that she wanted things another way. She talks down to me and comments on my unconscious physical mannerisms. She is a bully and I am not her first victim.

    She absolutely is not "holding me responsible for my own shit". She is known for being incredibly difficult to deal with and has had many complaints filed against her to HR. She causes a lot of conflict among a lot of different people. HR just doesn't particularly care and everyone expects me to shut up.
