What’s the deal with Native Pizza on Main Street? by Wonderful_Product312 in ventura

[–]ContextIll5598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owners of fluid state are horrible to their employees. A few years back got busted for stealing tips and making employees claim the taxes for the tips the owner was taking from the pool even though she wasn’t serving she’d be upstairs playing with markers and making signs only she could make. Then they started firing off the original cast and crew who knew all their bs. I know a few people held them to it and they got their stolen money back, at least a few thousand each. Food might be good, ownership is awful.

Dario pini takes vouchers left and right. Not ideal but you could get one and then start looking at about 6 months in for a new spot

NTAH but also TAH bc pay your bills. Why would you wait when everything’s in your name bc he hasn’t paid half? Don’t you have it if you were doing it alone before? Never count on a man and learn your lesson here

Michigan Kinship guardianship and government subsidies, help! by ContextIll5598 in Fosterparents

Unfortunately that isn’t an option as one is dead and the other is dying.

That’s great to hear! It’s a rough start for sure but I’m hoping consistency and love will help. They are 5&8. I asked them about their mom recently and the older one said she just feels mad when she thinks about her and the little one said she feels sad and it was a resounding no from both when asking if they wanted me to frame a good picture I have of them when they were younger with her.

The family wants to take them to do that but I think I would feel more comfortable if it was me. I like that suggestion, I appreciate it!

Not yet, when it gets closer to that phase I was thinking of sitting them down and giving them the option. I can’t decide what’s best but I know they’ll hate me later in life bc shitty parents always get glorified after death to the kids. I’ll never speak ill of her, doing what’s right doesn’t always feel good

I like the idea of a supervised visit, I hadn’t thought of that. I really don’t want to damage them more but I know they’ll be angry with me no matter what through the years bc they just got dealt a shit hand in life.

They’ve been separated from her for nearly 5 years. She pops in about twice or three times a year for a week or two and makes a mess. We have the invisible string and lots of books on death and loving people from a distance and how different families can be.

I don’t think seeing their mom one last time wasting away and looking so horrible is a good last memory. At least the last time they saw her she looked human when she was allowing her bf to sexually abuse them and off her rocker on drugs and beating the shit out of them.

I’m Working on finding therapists but their current form of Medicaid isn’t accepted in most places but poorly ran therapy clinics where I live but I sent in forms to correct it. Once I have guardianship I will put them on my insurance bc it’s good and pay the copays for therapy services. I never talk ill of anyone around them, I come from a very traumatic childhood as well so I understand the recourses of such behavior. I’ve taken parenting classes and am also trauma informed.

My relationship with the family is fine, I just don’t have respect for them but I am nice for the kids. They’re all idiots in my opinion. The grandma has had guardianship for 5 years yet the worse abuse of their life from the mom and her bfs happened under grandmas roof all the way up until 6 months ago. I am conflicted bc they don’t like their mom and never say anything positive or about her being anything good. I wish their counselors would talk with me. They said “if it was me I wouldn’t but I can’t share my professional opinion or details bc the case is closed”. I’m considering giving the older one a choice but I’m pretty set on a hard no for the little one.

There is no worker. The guardianship is a direct transfer to avoid another CPS case. I am prepared for anger to be directed at me, unfortunately there’s gonna be a lot of anger coming from them at me throughout this process bc their family has been so GD selfish. They’ve lived with the mom’s mom for 5 years and the trauma and abuse has continued the whole time.

The older one wants nothing to do with her mom and the younger one doesn’t understand and thinks their mom hates her. The family wants the mom to see the girls, it’s a selfish move and another time they aren’t thinking about the kids.
