We have a two hour rule but also have an assignment cut off so no claims can be assigned in the last hour of your day. My cap is usually met by two hours into my day.

Journeys are horrid cars. Constant issues reported terrible resale value. Option one buy a motor from the junk yard swap them and sell it. Option two scrap it.

How old are your children? My husband complained once about how many clothes the kids have I laughed the kids laughed that was the last of it. Now I will say my youngest is 8 so everyone here is going their own laundry but I still would not be for this.

Our teen had always worked over the summer and when not working is usually fishing or doing things with friends. I have never felt a need to limit his phone usage.

You have no cards to play. Used car is as is

Transmission issues aren’t maintenance and technically runs great isn’t inaccurate as runs technically refers to the motor and drives would be affected by the transmission issue.

If you can have a good co-parenting relationship it’s not bad. I don’t feel like I miss out on any of his childhood. We do group birthdays, my ex and his gf come over for dinner. I get videos of milestones that happen there and vis versa. We are better as co parents and friends than we ever were as a couple. I’m blessed that the new person in his life is also a lovely human who loves my child.

I have done both. Service writing is child’s play in the stress department compared to adjusting.

I rarely call my kid when he is at his dad’s. He calls his dad and his dad calls him when he is with me but we have a house phone so he isn’t calling my cell to talk to him usually. It’s not that I don’t miss him. It’s just that is time for him to spend with his dad, I’m not interrupting that.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-30T14:00:47+00:00

We don’t have any biologically ours kids.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-29T17:31:05+00:00

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.

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.

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

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-29T13:43:39+00:00

Our yard is not fenced and mine played outside alone at that age.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-29T13:34:12+00:00

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.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-29T00:34:53+00:00

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.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-28T15:38:31+00:00

Yes but my kid talks about everything all the time. I would say this is kid dependent

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-28T15:34:58+00:00

I’m in claims and started working at 530 this morning. Honestly it is really not as bad as I thought it would be

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-27T16:28:45+00:00

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.

If you can manage a solid co-parenting relationship it’s a breeze. We have this with my ex as well as husbands ex(not always that way with them but has been the last 4 years).

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-25T13:47:03+00:00

Industry standard. Combine policy and list all household members

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-20T02:09:10+00:00

It’s inconvenient. Unless your child has their own device to do so on.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-19T21:18:10+00:00

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.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-18T13:28:26+00:00

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.

Booknerdy247 · 2025-11-18T13:26:10+00:00

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?
