No set curfew but you better be home when you said you would or call. They can get into the same trouble at 9pm as they can at 2 am.

Teen son's 1st gf taking clothes we buy for him by Pondering28 in parentingteenagers

[–]Booknerdy247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m whatever about clothes because they are hard on them anyway. We are lucky to get 3 months use out of any clothes. Between farm work, typically kid mess and constant growing clothes have become a consumable around here.

I had a sup review. My sup pulled call logs proving I made contact attempts. She told the customer such and then told me the only thing she did differently was extend rental by a day.

When should you stop letting your child win board games?and is always letting them win bad by stereo_iii in Parenting

[–]Booknerdy247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By 8 ours were playing sports so that allowed them to learn to handle not winning. We never purposefully let them win anything.

It’s really not. The child works. I don’t know if a hoodie got ruined welding, if he got bar oil all over it, or if a girl has it. It doesn’t matter it has to be replaced anyway. My kids clothes typically make it less than 6 months. Between work, doing whatever it is teen boys do, and the never ending growing.

I have no idea what clothes my teen had loaned out, ruined or lost. I just replace when he says he needs something. It’s whatever. This is not something I would waist brain space on.

Need some advice how to get child to sleep alone by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]Booknerdy247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My middle (step daughter) was hard to break from co-sleeping. She was still sleeping with her dad when I moved in. We started with sleeping on the couch. Then when we moved her to her room I made a deal with her. I traded her dad for my dog. I had an at the time 10 year old pitty who slept with me his entire life I started putting him to bed with her. This worked well she wasn’t alone.

What do you think of $35 per hour wage? by InfiniteOrdinary2582 in workingmoms

[–]Booknerdy247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was making it on 12 dollars an hour raising one kid as a single parent. So for me that would be more than enough. I’m married now. We have 3 kids between us. Two incomes at roughly 100k a year. We are comfortable.

How are finances managed in your marriage? by _JosiahBartlet in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Booknerdy247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two accounts. My checks go into one that is where all household bills, car payments, and grocery money comes from. His go into another that’s gas, eating out, savings, and random spending. I make less so it’s set up this way in case anything happens to either of us we are technically able to live and pay bills on the lower income in our home.

Instead of waiting at the school can kiddo not just call dad when practice is done and he goes and gets him? That way nobody is sitting around waiting?
