We are in the United States. My son was nipped by a farm cat. It was over his shirt and my husband isn’t sure if it even broke the skin. I have always been ultra paranoid about rabies and of course this woman later tells me she doesn’t vaccinate her animals (eye roll). Should I get my son the post exposure vaccines?

I’ve come across this several times recently. If I mention needing a break to some people, they immediately say “yeah being a stay at home mom isn’t for everyone.” I love being a SAHM. However, can anyone name anything they want to do 24/7? Literally any activity. Your favorite activity: if you did it every waking hour of your life, would you like that? Such an insane expectation.

Please send suggestions of gift ideas. My friend just got into nursing school!

I’m considering transitioning into a case manager role after spending previous years at the bedside. For those who have made the switch, how difficult was it to learn the job and adjust to the new responsibilities?

My husband (35m) and I (35f) have somewhat disagreed on how to handle situations with one of his friends. My husbands friend (40m) and his wife (36f) recently had a baby shower and really wanted us to attend. However, they are still friends with my husband’s ex fiancée. Their relationship ended because she was cheating. She even cheated on a group friends trip that this couple attended. They witnessed this individual cheat on her fiancée and maintain this friendship.

Anyways, like I said, they really wanted us to attend this shower. I immediately declined the invitation. The ex fiancée was of course also invited and they weren’t even planning on warning us. They did the same thing for their wedding, which we did attend. We avoided her there but it was just so awkward.

I feel like it’s insanely disrespectful of them to not warn us ahead of time. Also, why maintain a friendship with people who tolerate such poor behavior? Looking for advice on how to keep boundaries with these individuals while respecting my husband’s choice of friends.

Like the title says my husband (35m) always seems to think he has things figured out and I (35f) need lectures on how to improve.

Today after a long day with two toddlers, he came home and I am quietly frustrated looking for a matching pair of socks. A lecture ensues regarding how he can always find a pair because he has all the same socks. Who do you think ordered all of his socks, laundered them, matched them up, and placed them in the drawer? I said “okay do you want me to throw all of mine away and buy all new socks so they match?” He says “well whose fault is it you can’t find matching ones?” He also said “go figure you’re miserable if you’re taking offense to this”

This is just so beyond frustrating for me. Like seriously? I’m just letting him parent the rest of the night because I can’t be around him. Does anyone know how to deal with someone like this?
