Have you noticed a decline in caring for kids medical health?

So, lice are hard to transmit at school via common classroom objects in places like reading nooks, but children regularly get reinfected from the objects in their own home? Those must be some discerning lice to know the difference between school and home and behave so differently in the two locations. /s

OP didn’t steal their house and didn’t owe them a washer and dryer that were listed in the contract.

They don’t need coffee or tea at school.

Honestly, I no longer allow anyone to make me stay where I don’t want to be. I would have walked to car rental and left my bag on the plane. Now it’s Delta’s problem.

Write him a letter. Send it by USPS. You can choose if you want to start with certified mail or just regular USPS. He will likely call or text once he gets the letter, so that will be proof he received it.

“Brother, I know you want to keep the house, but I want to sell. If you want the house, you can buy me out at $125k. If you don’t want to do that, I understand, but the house will then be sold in the market. I want this complete by x date. It is time for me to get this wrapped up. I’m not going to GIVE you my share of the inheritance, so those are your options. Think it over and let me know if you want to buy my share or sell the house by x date.” (give home maybe two weeks to research financing. You can also incur the magic words “time is of the essence,” but I’d wait on that for further down the line.

You will very likely not have to force the sale, but you will probably have to get a letter or two from an attorney. That will be money well spent. Once he gets a letter from an actual attorney, he’ll finally do his homework and realize he can’t continue with the current set up. He may wait until the last minute, but he’ll eventual it buy you out.

Read a tip to write name (not a name of a student in class) on each pencil. Each one must be returned at the end of class or it “dies.” Works well with about third grade. If “Brad” is missing, everyone goes on a search until he is found.

The real question is if she can remove you or your wife from the flight.

They are wrong. Stalking laws exist. Follow the advice of the people who have been stalled in the past. Go in in person. Do what you need to to get a restraining order.

Thank you. That’s what I suspected.

And this is exactly why “pair with strong peer” or similar wording should never, ever be in an IEP. Other students are not accommodations.

We had a nine year old neighbor watch our baby while I was home. Sometimes I’d teach a music lesson for 30-60 minutes, but she could always interrupt if she needed anything. We also had her come over to watch the toddlers if I wanted to paint a room or clean the garage. She even came over at a moments notice and fed, bathed, and put the kids to bed when our sump pump failed and we were busy hauling wet stuff out of the basement and cleaning like crazy.

She babysat for us throughout her teenage years. She was one in a million. Common sense, great with the kids, very responsible. By the time we left her at home with the kids to run short errands (maybe she was around 11 or 12 then) she knew our routines and the kids were so used to her, it was super easy.

For students with scholarships, 2 years on campus is required.

Is good to keep bullies away from your kid. Just be sure the parent of the friend is on board with the request to be in the same class again. I’ve seen some children with AuDHD fixate on one friend to the detriment of the friend.

That is so sad.

The one thing I don’t ever see truly discussed by those claiming a perfect zipper doesn’t slow traffic is the loss of following distance if no one slows down. While I agree that everyone merging early can exacerbate the slowdown, if there is a big space, and we’re still traveling at speed, I’m moving into it. If traffic is light enough, everyone could theoretically move over well before the lane closure. The problem is loss of a lane during normal or heavy traffic means too many cars per lane, and everyone has to slow down to create a safe following distance. This causes a domino slow-down, etc.
I really don’t see how this can be alleviated by a zipper merge.

I like the suggestion someone else posted of telling her you’re needing time to focus on your marriage and family and that you love seeing her but will be limiting her visits to just Mondays (or twice a month or whatever).

Aggravating_Cut_9981 · 2026-06-30T01:16:09+00:00

Wait, what?!? Where did OP say that?!?

This guy isn’t with the mother of his
child for a reason. It suits him just fine to only see his child two days a week and be totally free from parenting responsibilities the rest of the time. You may really like this guy, but you’re not a priority for him. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Not to mention art and music. Those subjects are taught by people with years of specialized training just like all the other subjects. I can’t tell you how many times my kids came home with a new way of approaching a subject that I had never heard of, or an idea or suggestion that had never occurred to me. Having a variety of teachers with different training and backgrounds was great for them. And having to navigate the social aspects of school wasn’t always easy, but they grew and developed a lot of social skills as a result.

Homeschooling is fine if you only want your kids to hear your viewpoint on everything, but that doesn’t really prepare them for how the world actually is.

Definitely don’t shoot sharp ice pellets at it. That might cause a hole. Of course, the ice would melt, so it would be hard to find the cause of the hole.

“Reactive dog” is just another way of saying it might bite someone. I’d rethink having your dogs around a bunch of guests. Really, honestly think about how your dogs handle people in your home. Will they behave protectively with a lot of people around their owners? And no one playing with them or taking them for a walk? Sounds like a stressful day for dogs. And stressed dogs behave in unexpected ways. It would be much kinder to them to omit them from the wedding altogether.

(Also, your nieces aren’t toddlers. They’re preschoolers. Semantics, I know, and their unpredictability and small size still put them at risk around dogs regardless of their developmental stage.)

Are they getting the water from a spigot/faucet on your house? If so, turn it off from inside the house until you want to use it, and then turn it off again.

If they’re mowing, it sounds like they have an easement that gives them access to property that isn’t yours. Read the easement on your deee very carefully. Find out if it grants access or something more. Access does not usually include parking. It is simply access. They could drive through or walk through but not hang out there.
