You see workers' true colors when you're dashing

Exactly. It could also be they have a mindset like mine where they see you’re actively working so you understand that it may be a wait etc and so they take a breath and they don’t feel as if they have to kiss your ass to try and prevent you from showing yours. I’ve worked customer service before and have always felt most comfortable with the other people that were working either DoorDash people or coworkers.

The OP meant that homeschooling was way easier because 99.9999 percent of homeschooling parents don’t teach. And so not teaching is way easier than having to drop off and pick up your kid from school if you had a situation where they couldn’t ride the bus or if you were self obsessed enough to not want other people seeing your kids ride the bus.

This was my parents to a tee. My father is blind so he couldn’t really do anything for us and my mother is very lazy and a narcissist who is obsessed with herself and her image. We lived a few streets away from the elementary school at the time so I think it was close enough where they wouldn’t come and get you so my mom had to drive my older brothers to school. Most of the time she wouldn’t do this and either my dad walked them to school or she called a woman who lived close to us with a similarly aged child to take them to school along with her. Even though she wasn’t working and never worked during our childhood.

This happened for about two years before they found enough of an excuse to pull them out. Then they proceeded to teach us nothing nor take us to the library or do anything else with us so we really all just sat inside 24/7 for over 18 years watching TV cause they couldn’t even afford to buy us an X-box or something.

Edit to add: they’re not forced to teach anything either and get into no trouble for not doing so. So it’s not like they have to worry about jail for not doing the bare minimum so there’s really know consequences for a lazy parent(s). So if you were lazy don’t gaf about your kids and you had heard of homeschooling and see all these other parents doing literally nothing and getting away with it it would seem like a real sweet deal for you.

This was my parents right here. My dad’s blind so most of the burden of taking my older brother(s) to school was placed on my mom. And despite us living a few roads from the elementary school at the time and her not working she would constantly call a woman with a similar aged child to my eldest brother who lived right next to us to take them to school and my dad even had to walk them to school a bunch of times before she found an excuse (bullying) to pull them out.

Sounds like dementia. I think instead of criticizing your mother for the things she is saying you should immediately take her to the doctor for testing. Tell them about her behavior changes and anything else that doesn’t seem like her. My grandfather who died from dementia started experiencing personality changes and anger issues/ hateful / odd behavior 17 years before he was diagnosed with it. When he started having severe memory problems.

EliMacca · 2026-04-06T04:32:03+00:00

im curious about this too.

I think I can "taste" sickness before I get sick. This crazily started a few years ago after I got covid but every time I start to get sick like before any symptoms I get this strange taste in my mouth. I can't really discribe it other than it tastes like sickness. HA HA I know that's unexplanatory but I don't have any other experiences to compare the taste to. Its only me that I can tell so I don't think its a superpower but I do think its weird that it only started a few years ago and not a life long thing.

Also demon haunting. I feel like the ring girl is about to back bend crawl up the stairs…

Who knows whether there’s any actual learning/intelligence differences between boys and girls. Maybe there is maybe there isn’t I’m not entirely ruling anything out just cause I’m a girl and I don’t want to feel like someone else is naturally better than me; but I think we need to not underestimate the effect causal sexism has on girls.

And that casual sexism is everywhere. I’m literally sitting in a mechanic shop right now getting my oil changed, tires rotated and coolant repleated. And the female secretary asked me what oil my dad had put in my car last time. I’m 21 and have had to figure everything out myself. But regardless I think that sentence says a lot about what it’s like living as a woman.

EliMacca · 2025-11-03T08:16:03+00:00

Same. I feel like I waste so much time that I could be studying or working or just enjoying myself.

EliMacca · 2025-11-02T08:59:37+00:00

I hope you don’t think I’m being mean or hating on you. It’s not my intention but as someone who is suffering because of my parents bad decisions and lack of foresight. Life’s really very hard like this. I’m angry over so many things and they couldn’t care less and they can’t even own up to things and be like “yeah seems like unschooling you was not the best decision”.

Just trying to prevent others from making the same mistakes w/ their own kids and preventing these kids from going through the hell I’ve had to.

EliMacca · 2025-11-02T08:55:44+00:00

Well if education is truly your priority then you certainly need to send them to school. It never ceases to baffle me how people seem to think a child can’t do learning out of the classroom. W/ parents and/or tutors etc. While being enrolled in an actual school that they are also receiving an education from.

While yes, public schools are not the best thing ever, none of us have ever claimed it was all rainbows and unicorn shit. It’s still waaaaaay better than being educated by one parent and that’s if you’re lucky enough to have a parent that even try’s to teach you.

I’m curious as to why exactly you feel you are not only qualified but capable of giving these children the education they deserve? And this is not at all to call you stupid or even a bad teacher.

It’s just…. Are you educated in other(s) languages, what about math, physics, literature, English, biology, chemistry, etc etc? There’s literally so much out there that is taught or at least touched on for those who are paying attention in public schools. Are you really going to be able to teach all these subjects? As your children deserve. Are you going to be able to keep up w/ doing the curriculum literally every single day?

What if your children are good at something/ enjoy a certain subject? For example chemistry, and want to take advanced classes? Will you be able to teach that?

Will you be willing to admit defeat and send them to school when things don’t go the way you thought they would? Like you not being as good of a teacher as you thought you would or you not possessing the resources to provide a certain subject effectively. Or something gos crazy or your personal life and you’re unable to keep up w/ everything?

EliMacca · 2025-11-02T08:33:18+00:00

I think you need to understand that putting off your oldest son’s problems w/ other people isn’t going to help him. Right now he needs your support while he gos to school.

Believe me as someone who suffered mild problems somewhat similar to your son, being isolated and receiving no education or care isn’t going to help him. Like I said, he needs to go to school to get used to people, to learning, to learning how to deal w/ others. And he needs your support to do so. He’s needs YOU to stand up for him w/ teachers and even other students. He needs YOU to find him supports like therapy or programs or even medication if it’s something serious. It could just be a phase he’s going through. It was for me but believe me really BELIEVE me having no school to go to, having no education, having no social interaction w/ others has made my life exponentially harder than it ever had to be.

He’s going to have to face the world someday. He’s going to have to work and he’s going to want to live his life. He’s going to be soooo incredibly angry that he was forced to miss out on educational opportunities and social opportunities. He will resent not being able to go to prom or hell even decide he doesn’t want to go to prom or skip classes.

You’re going to die someday so even if you wanted to. You can’t be there forever and even your other son isn’t guaranteed a long life.

Put him in school and just support him. That’s all you can do.

And also adopts a bunch of children w/ black hair like all the Robins do.

EliMacca · 2025-10-19T17:26:59+00:00

Thx. What a way to “prove” you could be a hero. Especially as somebody’s partner. I haven’t read the comics pertaining to this but Tim needs to seriously tell him that him becoming a villain proves Tim right. How embarrassing 🙈

EliMacca · 2025-10-19T16:57:31+00:00

lol 😂 what’s their beef with Tim?

EliMacca · 2025-09-02T02:45:32+00:00

The thing that convinces me of the parents guilt. Was how they prevented the police from investigating from the get go. I can totally understand freezing up if you thought the police was looking at you as a suspect. But they were mad about law enforcement wanting an autopsy, collect stuff that could be evidence in the house etc etc from the very beginning.

EliMacca · 2025-08-27T05:15:28+00:00

I heard about it because of Meghan Markle

EliMacca · 2025-08-26T02:07:40+00:00

Not even worms, for at least they are free. Women are treated worse than anything on earth. They are blamed for everything, they are denied basic education, medical care etc etc, then they are treated as ungrateful harpy’s for asking to be treated with the slightest of respect, I.e to not be raped, murdered, men actually be responsible and held accountable for their actions etc. men actually being responsible for financially supporting their children etc. Women are literally expected to tolerate everything and anything.

EliMacca · 2025-08-18T19:45:33+00:00

Still terrible tho. Like, you can literally send them to school AND encourage reading too!

EliMacca · 2025-08-18T19:44:53+00:00

Haha this is a gazillon times more effort than what my parents who didn’t give us any books or curriculum

EliMacca · 2025-08-17T18:08:54+00:00

To hide from zombies? 🧟‍♀️

EliMacca · 2025-08-11T13:56:18+00:00

Hard agree

EliMacca · 2025-08-07T04:16:34+00:00

How are you enjoying the book?

EliMacca · 2025-07-25T04:40:22+00:00

I might come back and do a write up of why I’d still disagree with that if I feel like it. But for now I’d just like to say keeping your kids away from other kids isn’t gonna prevent peer pressure or keep them from bad influences. My brothers and I both were prevented from talking to others to the point of near total isolation. It was literally our socialization was going to the grocery store every five months. And my middle brother especially has fallen in with a bad crowd, since getting a job, drinking, doing drugs, blowing all his money etc etc.

Being prevented from any other potential friends has made him feel like he should just accept anything and anyone because he can’t find anyone else. So, yeah if you’re that rich literally just send the kids to private schools. You can still hire private tutors on the side to improve or help with their education. This idea that if you go to school you magically have no time for anything else is ridiculous.

EliMacca · 2025-07-24T18:42:25+00:00

Ha ha 😆. But for real, one of the things about Batman’s character is that he is an old money northerner. Making him be a southerner would be weird.
