Tired of managing my household

[Anonymous]

Here to be that person:

You want toxic chemicals anywhere in your yard near your kids or yourself? And to contribute further to environmental harm? Why are you spraying for mosquitoes instead of eliminating standing water and using fans if you are outside?

You want your husband exposed to these toxins you’re not willing to be exposed to? Why is that, exactly?

I hope you have some examples of inequitable labor distribution vastly better than this, but in any case, I think some self-reflection and self-education is in order.

Never again.

Scheduling a dentist is impossible. You can’t possibly exclude people for that.

I wish I could go to the dentist. They have lost their minds with self importance. None of the good ones take new patients, or if they do, they schedule like a year out. I have no idea what I’ll be doing on Sept 1 2024. If you cancel that appointment in June, make sure you are available 12 months later.

I even had a dentist cancel for me their own reasons, offered me 1 time to reschedule, on the “reschedule day” that they chose, and it didn’t work for me, so the next opportunity was months away.

Then I learned more about dentists and understood they just want to make as much money with as little effort as possible and like 50-75% of their stuff is totally unnecessary/exaggerated.

I know I need to go back, but it requires my life to revolve around a dentists’ schedule. It’s absurd.

Where are you living? On the North pole or Kodiak, Alaska. I just called my dentist in Tysons Corner, VA and got an appt a week later. It is not that hard.

Try going to your dentist as a new patient.

Why is this so hard? You make the appointment 6 mos in advance and then you prioritize it because you don't want your teeth rotting out of your face.

I mean, I agree...trying to eliminate mosquitoes is a losing battle, but I don't think that's OP's main point. She's tired of delegating.
