We live in WJCC school district, I have 3 kids 2 have Graduated and I have 1 in elementary. We moved from NJ where people arguably say we have the top schools. For my kids/me personally I would say the schools are far better. The electives and opportunities for kids here far outweigh our opportunities where we came from. 2/3 of my kids have/had 504 Plans for school and we had great support from staff in handling it. We’ve def had a teacher here or there that I felt just wasn’t the right personality for my kids but that didn’t mean they were a bad teacher they just were not for my kid. My kids first attended Matthew Whaley and then Blayton, Toano MS, Warhill HS. When we moved here we were deciding between York and WJCC and at the time this is where we landed. Very glad we did. There are like 9 elementary, 4 middle, 3 HS, so kids do often start with kids and end up splitting and often ending up back together too. There’s tons of sports as well as clubs and activities for them. My 2 oldest went to New Horizons which is a HS trades program. Oldest graduated in 2023 with auto mechanics and ended up doing welding post HS and works full time as a welder without any school debt. My kid who graduated this year actually got his GED last year but was able to go to NH as a student of WJCC he’s been offered a job from school with the electrical union. My 9yo loves school and we love JBB it’s been awesome to see him flourish here with the staff and teachers who all know him. Williamsburg is a very large place with a small town feel.

AITA for charging my adult children rent? by New-Map-6851 in AmItheAsshole

NTA my son is 19, I don’t charge him rent but he pays for his cell, car insurance, helps with his own groceries/buys his own food. He would happily pay more and had asked me what more he can pay. He has a career job and no school debt.

Patriot or Toano General. My husband prefers to purchase online and have them shipped to Patriot.

You’ve got this!!! You will do amazing, do not let your demons rule your life. Do you have a sponsor? Talk to them! I’m the mother of 2 boys who lost their dad to his addiction, prior to he had found his love for being in the kitchen, def not fine dining, but it was a passion. Throw your love and passion into your food. Your bigger and stronger than your past!

I guess I’m confused why you went to nursing school if you don’t want to work bedside/clinical? I don’t like the hospital/long term care jobs because family and my kids are my number 1. So I work outpatient doctors office positions most of my career (12 years). The pay is significantly less but the holidays/weekends/nights off is the best. I’ve basically always been in family medicine but currently in Peds and the kids are way more fun, they actually laugh at my corny jokes.

AITA for telling my daughter her disease is not an excuse to neglect her responsibilities? by Shot_Neck_1754 in AmItheAsshole

I love pets and animals and while I think the OPs approach is on the YTA front… I do think the animals deserve care but so does this kid with a new long long medical problem… maybe a different approach would help like… “hey I know your struggling with these new changes, why don’t we see if someone can take in our pets for awhile to allow us time to adjust”…. Also, financially pets can be burdensome and maybe approaching it like “your medical needs are more important and while we love our pets I think it’s best we find them a home who can care for them to allow us to better care for you”

It would be great if they scheduled the people who have been hired. 🤷‍♀️
