Transitioning our 1-year-old to milk (from formula), and our doc has suggested NOT to use a bottle. What kind of sippy cup do you use for milk?

We’ve only done water in sippy cups so far, so we’ve generally let him take them with him around the house or leave them out on the table. Thinking we need something distinct for milk so everyone knows it needs to be drunk quickly and cleaned immediately. I’m not a milk drinker myself, so I’m a little weirded out by the possibility of rancid milk.

How does everyone deal with patients who don't want a female and/or minority doctor to treat them? I know I need thicker skin but when someone comes in to be treated and refuses to be treated by me simply because I'm a woman or POC I can't help but get offended. I would never let these feelings affect the quality of care I provide but it is still so aggravating.

Any insight in calculating the buyout of a primary residence in a divorce (community property state)?In the buyout option the spouse staying is discounting the estimated closing costs (10%) from the buyout. I am encouraging the other spouse to push back as it isn’t a sale and at least lower the closing cost estimate to 5% (their share). Buyout calculation = Current FMV - Outstanding Debt - Estimated Closing Costs. Thoughts?
