You are at the beach with your husband, child, and father. You are handling the kid in the waves while husband boogie boards. You step on a shell, which cuts the bottom of your foot, you are bleeding.
You hobble up to the chairs and your dad proceeds to give you water to wash the cut and you realize something is in your foot. Call your mom who is back at house to get you.
Husband and child never leave the water, despite knowing your foot was cut.
And thankfully I was able to get the shell out and currently have ointment on it and a bandaid.
Sorry about your foot!! But in this scenario I wouldn’t even be annoyed.

As an outsider, a 1. While I was in pain I might not be as rational. But honestly, it wasn’t that serious, you had other adults to help you, your kid can’t help and if your H left the water, the kid had to also and that doesn’t make sense.

Sorry about your foot, hope you're feeling better! I'd be a 1. I wouldn't except them to get out the water for a cut.
My BFF is bitching to me via text because a couple weeks ago she booked a FL vacation (she's in NY) for mid-July and now has been called back to work (she's been furloughed for 2 months) so can't take the vacation time and is having issues getting a refund on the trip. Um hello? Pandemic. You knew there was a good chance you'd get called back. And um, pandemic? I can't even respond to her.
Ugh. Ours is 10-4. The drop box for returns is open today and I'm equally excited about that. When they announced schools were closing I went straight to the library and took out a stack of stuff. I am not comfortable having it this long, even though they've made Aug 1 the due date for everything. I don't want to lose something!
Our drop box is still closed. I’m not worried about losing them but I feel strangely guilty about keeping them for so long.
I dropped ours off today!!! I'm so glad that bag is gone from my laundry room!!!
My youngest came down with a fever Sunday night. She's 8, almost 9 YO. We realized she has never been sick before, not even a fever. She said her throat really hurt; said it felt that she was swallowing wood with splinters. (her words.) Made an appt at the pedi, it was her first ever "sick appt" which I just think is crazy. Even the pedi commented on it; and sure enough she has strep throat! So I'm sorry she's sick, but glad it's a quick fix! My oldest has had strep many many times, always in the summer.

My DH was 10 or 11 the first time he needed an antibiotic. I feel like his experience set him up to view our kids, (who get sick, while not often, but they do) thru a weird lens. He worries they take medicine too much. I'm like Dude, the last time any of them took an antibiotic was 2 years ago, we're good!

Well, we said goodbye to our good cat this morning. It was very hard for my H - the cat belonged to his late brother. My h was pretty adamant that he didn’t want to be present for the procedure, but it was so peaceful, he decided not to step out. I think it really helped him to be at peace with the choice.
Our veterinarian is wonderful, and she cuddled the cat and went over the procedure. It was so sweet. She talked about the shot to make her loopy and sleepy, then “we’ll shave your sexy leg and give you another shot” 😂 and then she’d go to sleep. And “when you wake up, you’ll be back with your daddy again” 😢
It was the right time and I appreciated so much that our vet understood that she was more than a cat to my H, she was a link to his brother. I’m going to share my favorite picture of Ada - I’ll probably delete it later because it’s a kid picture. We’re going to miss her so much. She loved the stuffings out of our babies.

I’m chuckling over here. Totally agree with all of this.

1, I don’t like people in my face when I’m hurt, and your dad helped you. I’d be happy my H kept my kid away from me.

And both asking me repeatedly "are you okay?" despite the fact that I'm clearly bleeding and have glass in my foot. 2 adults actually helping me would be plenty!
DS is 7 and will be a black belt in kung fu before his turns 8. He's desperately missing his studio and his instructor. The sport is truly his passion and he's been at it since he was 3. He's not been cleared to do a private lesson in the studio yet. (Immunosuppressed.) This morning his instructor made a house call and gave him a private lessons, masked, on separate ends of our back deck. We thought it was a one time surprise. But nope. He said he's going to continue coming to our home weekly and giving DS private lessons while socially distanced outside.
The kindness that appears in hard times you guys. <3
ETA: He's been doing lessons with his instructor (both group and private) via Zoom since March.
My work is accepting accommodation requests based on CDC work factors for when we go back next week. I am high risk due to my BMI. Im so conflicted regarding asking to continue to work from home. I’ve been working from home since March. I don’t want to go back. But I feel guilty for asking for the accommodation. I’m not sure what I should do.

Ask for the accommodation. That’s what you do.
Thank you for this. I need to hear it. I don’t know why I feel so conflicted. I guess I feel guilty because I know that others will continue to work in the office when they also meet the accommodations. I know that isn’t my problem. But reading the CDC that I’m at a higher risk to get severely ill due to my BMI is also scary.

I’m sitting in my car while DS is at PT. I understand that they’re limiting the amount of people in the building, but I can’t leave the premises in case he has a meltdown. It’s 105 out right now so I have the leave the car on.

Those people have a right to ask for accommodations too, and if they don't, that's their choice. You have a legal right to ask for accommodations, so if you want to do so, do it without guilt.
Especially if you are able to work from home without a problem, this is a very easy thing to accommodate that will cause no hardship for anyone, so it seems like an even simpler choice to me!
they are a fucking moron for wanting to come here. States are mandating we quarantine if we travel to them. Europe is banning the US entirely bc of us and states like us. Nobody should come here. 🤦♀️ Omg. That someone needs to tell them that makes me wanna smack ‘em.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I started a new job shortly before the pandemic hit. I was only in the office a few weeks before going WFH. I'm super overwhelmed. There has been a ton of turnover, including my manager, and I feel like I'm just kind of floundering. I know my job and I'm good at it, but this company is severely understaffed and I'm overworked already. I'm not sure if this is COVID-related or just how this company runs, but I've put in an app elsewhere. I doubt I'll hear anything back in this job market, but I'm dreaming.

Which is why I can't seem to work up any sympathy at the moment. And the support has been rather one sided for a while which has me annoyed.

This is exactly what I was thinking lol. I'd be SO happy my H was there to distract my kid while I dealt with my medical issue. I'd actually be pissed if he brought the kids out of the water with him to check on me when I was clearly being assisted by two other adults.
One time, I drank too quickly and started coughing uncontrollably. My 6-year-old asked me if I was ok, so I shook my head no and put up my "wait a minute" finger. So she proceeded to ask me questions, like "why are you choking mommy? Can you get me a drink of water? Can I have a snack?" and so on. I couldn't even ask her to stop because I was coughing, and it turned into this big chaotic scene lol.
When I am hurt I want less people around me, not more. I don't need to absorb other people's anxiety. So I would have been more annoyed if they were hovering around me, especially if I was having to reassure the kid that I was alright.
