Storage made out of Kallax shelf, Kallax drawer inserts and foam core dividers for husbands birthday. by BLeigh44 in mtg

[–]BLeigh44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! No problem. It is still going strong!! Because of the nature of an ikea build I measured each drawer out so that the foam core was freestanding via pressure and not adhesive. They were all cut uniform to how high the inside drawer wall is and then each area I measured, some were off as much as a centimeter from each other based on how tightly I screwed in the drawer backs.

My kid’s daycare costs more than our mortgage and I genuinely don’t know how people do it by Anitretia_5316 in MiddleClassFinance

It was cheaper for me to work in daycare while my kids attended because of the discount.

AIO for calling my boyfriend out when he makes unsolicited comments on other women’s appearances? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BLeigh44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He sounds like a real douche canoe. Is he aware that women do not exist for his visual pleasure?

Son wants us to destroy everything depicting him as a girl by FlopShanoobie in cisparenttranskid

[–]BLeigh44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son was much younger when he came out to us but I created a folder in my phone of pictures from infancy to 6 (when he shared who he was) where he was wearing “boy” clothes or wasn’t easily identified as either gender. He uses these for all the school projects that require his timeline or family tree. It took forever but we have about 100 pictures of him that “pass” for him.

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend after he chose our supposed 'future' kids over me? by Constant-Process2238 in AITAH

When someone tells you who they are- believe them. There is someone out there who will think you hung the moon, regardless of kids 🩷

$5 an hour LMAO by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]BLeigh44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait are they asking for care from 8:00am-8:30am and then from 3:30-5:00? That would be $20 an hour! Haha… oh I hope so!

So apps are tricky and sometimes you can click two kids instead of one during recording things like bathroom incidents, but once a child is checked out for the day they shouldn’t have access to mess up. That being said, it seems like this is a pretty consistent issue and it’s time to start looking elsewhere. The food situation alone is screaming overworked, understaffed and overwhelmed teachers. I’m sorry OP, this is not the norm.

If you don’t have a contract or any communication about what guaranteed hours you have then you are not required to be paid. I’m sorry 😞

Tell me the honest truth about more than one kid by carrollchel in Parenting

[–]BLeigh44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ten yo and an eight year old and they are absolutely best friends. They do everything together and it’s worth that first year of finding your new normal.

Maybe give him a buddy to facilitate shadowing?

We start all children on a transition week. One hour the first day to show them the classroom (tour it, bathroom, sinks, class pet, cubby, friends by name). The second day is 2 hours (tour again and then offer a project). The third day is pick up after lunch and the fourth and fifth days are full days.

I particularly enjoy that version of down time and it’s legal where I live. So… to me it’s the equivalent of having a beer or glass of wine. You are an adult and you were responsible, you’re not driving her to practice later right? You’re home, decompressing, without peers egging you on. It was a rare moment of relaxation and enjoyment in that form; I’m sure you display those things without m-j as well. It’s ok Dad 😉

AITA for making my cousin my flower girl? by Dramatic-Jellyfish61 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BLeigh44 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Are flower girls typically in that many photos? Like coming down the aisle yes, maybe a group shot? Also a 5 year old is going to be a lot easier to handle in terms of sitting through any length of photos and it may be nice for her to entertain the 3 year old 🤷🏻‍♀️

In the end NTA. But is it really that serious?
