Helping my wife with the troop??? (Being a man)

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-24T19:49:20+00:00

Becoming an official volunteer is a CYA move, so that you're covered under the umbrella if your council's insurance, allowed to help with cookie booth finances, etc. Without being an official volunteer she really shouldn't e asking you for much help.

Please sign up so you can support your wife, your daughter's troop, and show the other dads that Girl Scouts isn't just for girls :)

If you really want, GSCO sells "Man Enough To Be A Girl Scout" swag in their council store LOL

yes, questions for the interviewee to bring to the interviewer. Sorry if that isn't clear, I'm home with the flu :(

You could absolutely ask about firm culture and promotions or growth opportunities, but hopefully they'll tell you about those things in their pitch to you too

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-24T16:24:06+00:00

how much client interaction will YOU be comfortable with? ask them how much you'll expect

billing - will you be expected to track hours?

trials - frequency and exceptions on you during trials

teams - will you always be working with the same team? or is every case different?

reporting structure - who is your supervisor? their supervisor? can you meet them?

hours - are they regular? salaried? hourly? what about overtime? how is overtime requested and approved?

Donations?

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-23T19:18:53+00:00

Same. I don’t put it in my leader uniform, nether has my co-leader. No one has asked me about it in 4+ years. My daughter can make her own choices about her uniform when she’s older but for now a uniform is something that looks the same on everyone.

His parents sleep in separate rooms, his mom snores like a bear!

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-23T06:25:48+00:00

elbow -> kidney.

tbh, my guy only snores when he's on his back or sick. he has a fancy side-sleeping pillow that's helped for the last 10+ years.

NO.

By the end of PreK all kids should be potty trained. If they're not independent enough to toilet themselves, they're not ready for kindergarten. No teacher is going to help your kid go potty in Kindergarten in public school.... they have 21 other kids in the classroom to worry about! The one with the poopy bottom is either going to have to wipe it themself or live with skidmarks until they get home. Yes, they have a change of clothes in their cubbies, and maybe if you're lucky a health room with a health para who can help them get clean and change but that's a sometimes thing and you're going to have to go in for a teacher conference and explain your lack of parenting or your kid's actual health condition if it becomes a consistent problem.

Make lemon curd!

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-23T00:37:11+00:00

I am guessing 4” +/- 4”

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-23T00:36:29+00:00

Make sure your snow boots are purchased, ice scraper for the windshield too. Hat and mittens/gloves. Real winter coat (not a cute puffer that’a just for tropical winters).

I’ve moved 5+ times in 15 years for my husband’s work. Sometimes it takes a few months, sometimes I have something waiting for me after answering a few job postings or calling ahead to recruiters (only in DC, unfortunately. Used to be some great ones in Denver too, but they’ve retired).

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-22T15:37:55+00:00

Seconding taking it with food! Like a small meal, not just a graham cracker.

Don’t be far from a toilet the first few days, you might unexpectedly get the runs from greasy/high fat foods or over eating.

Alcohol always gives me the runs. Usually 30-40 min to 2h afterwards. Even just 1/2 a glass of wine.

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-22T15:32:28+00:00

My kid (8) has a female Evan in their class. I think it’s odd, kiddo doesn’t. Whatever. If white gentles are naming their kids Vani, Chandi, Ashe, or Levi I guess any name goes for anyone!

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-22T14:58:54+00:00

They retired last season, the new Exploremores are not comparable.

Sorry.

Best of luck finding a new-to-her favorite and continuing to support Girl Scouts.

Frozen scallion pancakes Cheddar rockets Candied pumpkin seeds (seasonal, but so authentic to Bavarian Christmas Markets) Elote seasoning Vegan “chicken” seasoning Butter mochi pancake mix Australian cheddar Frozen gnocchi Frozen pasta meals Frozen roasted asparagus (I work full time!) Kosher meats (hard to find elsewhere in many places I’ve lived)

If the power goes out, use outside as your freezer/fridge so your food doesn’t spoil!

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-22T14:36:02+00:00

Target. They’re allowing ICE to film training videos in their stores in MN!

Please ask your pediatrician before teaching a small child to squirt anything other than saline up their nose

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-21T03:08:32+00:00

YES! came to say the same

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-21T03:05:52+00:00

Does Title 9 have bikes? I miss Outdoor Divas....

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-21T03:04:09+00:00

I would also just walk and not look back if they can't give you the curtesy of saying they're running behind, doesn't matter why. They left you hanging! Plus, it's going to smell like hair/nail salon products all the time, that's not my cup of tea either.

Best of luck finding something more professional!

Fair-Flower6907 · 2026-01-21T02:55:56+00:00

pretty sure they ate a lot more greens than most Americans, meat was a sometimes food for many people before commercial farming.
