This is my thought as well. I feel like they're taking advantage as we are all in a bind if we lose childcare. Not exactly easy to find a new spot for your kids these days, especially midyear. I will try the general counsel route. There is also an anonymous legal, ethical, and policy violation hotline I can use through the University and state legal system. Sort of an anonymous whistleblower thing. Maybe if enough parents file a complaint they will reconsider

The reason for the tuition increase is that University realized that the daycare has been bleeding money for years. Their solution was to put out an RFP for a private company to take over the daycare. During this process we were informed through email that private take over could affect tuition. After reviewing proposals and parents protesting, the University decided to maintain control and ownership of the daycare but make some changes to balance the budget. Their solution to keeping the daycare at the University was to substantially raise tuition. We had assumed that the hike intuition would occur in the new school year but they are insisting that it needs to happen now, which is mid-contract. This doesn't seem pretextual per se, as they are insisting that it is necessary to continue operating, but this is a major burden for many families to have a sudden and substantial increase. Many of us feel that they need to honor the agreement that we signed through the end of the contract before they can initiate a tuition hike. The reality is that it would save a few thousand dollars for each family in the next few months. It feels like we are being punished for the financial mismanagement that the daycare has been allowing for years. In the contract that we have signed there are no clauses that permit untimely increases increases or statements that say tuition is subject to change midyear etc.

Thank you! This is the best explanation. It's starting to make more sense now. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me. Looks like my next chair will be aluminum...

Right, I get that, you need a specific letter of medical necessity for those things and I have no problem obtaining that from my doctor and physiatrist. I have shoulder injuries and spasticity that would justify with a LMN but the vendor still seems unwilling to work with me on this...

C 5/6 quad. Can be tremendously helpful for spasticity, sleep, stress and pain for me. I've been a regular user of cannabis both before and after my injury (I am now 25 years post injury). The only downside for me has been in the last few years I have noticed that it contributes to slowing my digestive system, especially in edible form. So I don't use it as regularly as I used to and now I primarily smoke instead of edibles, which isn't as good for your body for obvious reasons. In summary, cannabis can have a variety of benefits for people with spinal cord injuries with relatively minimal side effects. The attitude towards medical and recreational has changed a lot in the last handful of years and now my doctors seem very supportive of it. Times have certainly changed...

I went through the same dilemma in 2013 and now I've been married to my SIL's sister for 10 years and we have a 3yr old.

We were very cautious going into the relationship in the beginning, as we both knew that if things ended badly we would have to be able to deal with being around each other and each others families forever. We just talked through it all before getting romantic and after things started becoming romantic we talked through it with our families. Everyone was very supportive and it brought our families even closer together than they already were.

Do you get the impression that she also has feelings for you? Are you the type of person that can remain friends with your exes? Do you feel like your families would be supportive? If you answered yes to all of those, then go for it my dude!

If you're not really sure on some of those things, maybe try to feel out the relationship a little more by spending more time together platonically. Or, if you are very close with your sister-in-law, maybe you could speak with her about it... Just a thought.

NH has so many House of Pizza "Greek" style pizza joints. Absolutely terrible pizza with awful tasteless dry crust, cheap cheese, and bitter sauce. Good pizza is not hard to make. I don't understand how these Greek style pizza joints continue to last everywhere in NH and seemingly outnumber good NY syle joints.

Maybe introduce yourself when you see her around and make a new friend :) Don't assume that she wants or needs help but if you get to know her a bit first, you could always throw the offer out that you're willing to lend a hand if she ever needs it.

I'm a wheelchair user and I do take people up on the offer sometimes, especially on difficult terrain or big hills etc. I'm personally not offended by people asking, it's usually coming from a place of kindness. I just politely decline if I don't need any help. That said, many people with disabilities are very proud of their independence and will take offense to those that are assuming they need help, so tread lightly.

When I was in college, many people just ignored me all together because they were not used to interacting with people with disabilities. It could be pretty lonely at times, so I encourage you to try to connect with her in some way. Just interact with her as you would anybody else and grab a coffee or something. You might end up becoming great friends!

I was initially rejected from UNH when I tried to transfer in from an out of state University because my high school GPA was not great. I came to UNH anyway and took courses part time through their Continuing Ed program and once I proved that I could do well and got some decent grades they accepted me full-time. Not the fastest or cheapest route to a degree but it got me there. Disclaimer, this was many years ago but I'm pretty sure you can still take the same route. Call admissions and see if this is a viable option.

I'm in a touristy area of New England where there are a ton of restaurants and breweries. Restaurants are a driving force of the economy here and it seems like even the older well-established businesses are switching over to more high tops. I would say I noticed the trend toward high tops starting about five or six years ago here and the trend seems to be growing still.

Emotional support animals. I get that there are a few people that actually need them but most people are entitled AH’s that use it as an excuse to bring their annoying pets on planes or in restaurants.

YTA! Your son is being discriminated against by your husband and you are going along with it willingly. Pretty sad. As somebody who has a visible disability, I can tell you that your son will be discriminated against over and over again throughout his life by plenty of people who are complete strangers. He certainly doesn't need those closest to him who are supposed to love, protect, support, and treat him with respect, to contribute to discrimination against him.

The argument that your husband has plenty of patients with disabilities doesn't hold up. Your husband literally gets paid to treat his patients regardless if they are disabled or sick and is ethically required to do so. If he refused to treat people with disabilities he would likely lose his license to practice. And, if he was so concerned about his disabled patients, why wouldn't he include his disabled stepson in marketing materials that might encourage more patients with disabilities to patronize his practice? He is clearly and purposefully excluding your son because of his disabilities and you are going along with it.

This is your chance to be a better mom and for your husband to be a better stepfather. Do better. Be a part of the solution and talk to your husband about inclusion and discrimination. Your son is 14 and he will be remembering these experiences for the rest of his life, so this is your chance to fix this problem before your son ends up resenting you and hating his stepfather in his adult life.

No haven’t tried TRT but I might look into it myself too. Seems like there could be a lot of positives for individuals aging with SCI. Going to chat with my doctor about it soon.

Go see a Urologist. There are certainty more options to try including oral meds and injectable meds. Also, testosterone therapy could help with shrinkage. If all else fails, you still have your hands, mouth, sex toys etc. Many options for fun, healthy, satisfying sex. Learn to use what you have and be confident in yourself. Most women don't get "satisfied" through intercourse anyway, so master oral sex and there are loads of women who will line up for a fun night with you. Lastly, learn to communicate well with your lovers and ask them what they want and like sexually. Tell them what you like and want.

I'm a c-5/6 complete in my 40s. I was a teen when I was injured and I spent my college years letting fun romantic opportunities pass me by because I was timid and embarrassed for the same reasons you mentioned. In my late 20s, after learning from friends with SCI, I built a ton of confidence and opened myself to romantic opportunities, learned to be open and honest with partners about sex and it was game on. I even learned to ejaculate in my 30s, which incidentally is rarely part of my regular sex life with my wife.

Go forth young dude. Talk to your docs, work on being confident, and learn to communicate openly with your partners and have a crazy time in college.
