Men who have kids and are partnered with someone who is NOT your kids mom… do you expect a gift from your partner?

Context: I don’t have kids and I recently moved in with my BF who has his every weekend. I can’t rmemeber if I’ve ever done anything for him for Father’s Day, but this is the first time we’ve lived together during. I think typically I would just send him a text if we weren’t physically together.

Should I get him something small or make breakfast or is it not something I should worry about?

I’m starting CRNA school soon, and I’m wondering if anyone else felt like they didn’t spend years ‘grinding’ to get in.

I have 9 years cardiac/cvicu experience. And over the past 6 or so years, I’ve gradually built my ICU experience, certifications, leadership roles, and application. I always said I’m doing things to “make my resume look the best”. I’ve been interested in CRNA for longer than that, but CRNA wasn’t something I thought about 24/7. I wasn’t one of those people whose entire identity was getting into CRNA school. It was a long methodological and thought out decision to apply.

I applied to two schools, got interviews for both and gained acceptance to start a program in the fall. Which I am so happy and excited about.

But now that I’m close to starting, I’m worried I’ll be surrounded by extremely type-A, hyper-driven people who have wanted this forever and worked much harder than I feel I did to get here.

Did anyone else feel this way before starting? If so, what was the transition into school like? Did you feel behind or like you didn’t fit in at first, or did you find your footing pretty quickly?
