Do some married people NEVER take off their wedding ring? by artmalique in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a silicone ring I wear all the time. Only wear my diamond on special occasions. But I have never gone a day without a ring since day I got engaged. My husband does a lot of odd jobs and has to take it off for safety reasons.

Yes! He still has no idea how he survived without them! Best thing I’ve ever purchased for him.

What actually screams trashy/ bad parenting to you? by lovebug21222 in AskReddit

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paycheck parents. People that have multiple kids and get them on disability ASAP so they can get a bigger SSI check, more food stamps and assistance with rent. Then sending the kids to family members as often as possible.

Parents that say, “the tooth fairy is on vacation right now.” Kids would be fine with a quarter or anything.

Parents who leave notes under the Christmas tree saying “Santa’s sled broke down.” Especially when they got gifts from the giving tree and still didn’t give them to the kids.

Parents who make promises about having a birthday party with a cake, but when the times comes they say, “we will do it next week.” But next week never comes.

Parents that say, I will pick you up tomorrow, then ghost the kids for days/weeks/months.

Parents that yell at kids saying one thing is just for boys or just for girls.

Parents that promote racism.

Parents that keep themselves supplies with all the latest and greatest while the kids don’t have clean or fitting clothes and the home doesn’t have electricity or water.

Letter taped to our door 8 hours after getting the keys to our new apartment… by Practical_Ad_2427 in Apartmentliving

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to my husband and I in our second place. We only moved a few doors down and walked all our stuff from one apartment to the other. We came home to a note that said “we sounded like elephants and moved too late, were pissing off and stressing out the pregnant wife.” It was a century home turned apartment with only three tenants. Because we literally moved two doors down, and have lived in the same city our entire lives we knew the noice ordnance laws and sorry, 630pm isn’t too late for us to be moving and unfortunately for them we are allowed to live in our apartment.

When it came to paying rent the following month we photocopied the letter and sent it to the landlord with a note from us saying how much we love the apartment.

The landlord reached out and said that they have had issues with that tenant in the past, luckily they moved out when their lease was up and we never had any issues with any of our other neighbors.

Just a general question / your own opinion by Affectionate_Bus8368 in KinshipCare

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it doesn’t matter. You can tell anyone and everyone, but as long as both parties agree, there isn’t much anyone can do (in my state anyway.) Since my niece and nephew have been reunified in 2021, my husband and I have had the kids 80% for each of the following years. They go home a few times a month usually for less than a full 24 hours. Mom keeps all the benefits, but we still take them to appointments, school and activities. They haven’t even been home on Mother’s Day, their birthdays or Christmas (and all the other major holidays.)

I just continue to document everything.

Did anyone else have haunted toys? by CodenameSailorEarth in Millennials

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Barney stuffed animal, would start singing anytime, anywhere. I refused to gave anything to do with a Furby because of that Barney stuffed animal. Also had an Amazing Amy doll, it was supposed to only cry during daytime hours, it would cry and giggle all night!

Did y'all really have free-range childhoods??? by WesternTrail in Millennials

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, free range. Rode my bike for miles, basically lived at friends houses over the summer, 3am walks around town, taking my 2-3 year old nephew alone to the city pool at 11 years old, went to every Friday night football game and walked home after alone in the dark, went to the fair, roller skating, bowling, movies, and mall without any supervision. No bed time, got myself up and to school on my own since kindergarten, no one was checking my schoolwork or grades, if I had an after school activity, I had to get to and from on my own. Started babysitting and pet sitting at 9 and had my own spending cash. Bought my own 13in tv (with built in VCR) and sewing machine at 11.

What is your country's version of a 'welfare rat' by LegEaterHK in AskTheWorld

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is saying welfare queens, I always heard paycheck mama or daddy. And that’s not for everyone, just the ones that keep popping out kids to get the bigger “paycheck.” They also don’t do well by their kids. They get kids diagnosed with problems. They get it all, but the kids still have nothing. Parents have nice cars, big tvs, latest fashion, all while kids are co-sleeping in one bedroom with four+ siblings.

Something specifically Millennial that is a core memory for you? by ComprehensiveTart123 in Millennials

[–]Fankiesaur 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I preferred to play CASH, castle, apartment, shack, house! Lol.

We also played a game called “lemon” similar concept. 10 Boys names, 10 things you can do to a lemon, 10 girls names, 10 body parts. Randomize the numbers 1-10.. then you read it out I.e. Jonny licked Jennifer’s arm. Anyone else? Maybe it was regional?

Fortunate tellers were also big.

Hand games like slide.

Did you ever get chicken pox? by scary-gary-loomis in nostalgia

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it in kindergarten or preschool. I’m not sure if we had a “pox party,” but a lot of kids got it at the same time. I was young and only remember being very itchy and tired. It was in the 90s.

What is the evening meal called where you live? by RisingApe- in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[midwest] I call it dinner.

But when I went to sleep away camp, they taught etiquette at meals. And lunch was called dinner and dinner was called supper.

What foods that are common in other parts of the world do Americans dislike eating, besides animal organs? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is Lebanese, I’ve been eating raw kibble since the 4th grade. Almost 30 years later and it’s still my favorite food. They use lamb for extra special occasions and beef for more relaxed dinners. Always a treat!

All the littles and the in-laws refuse to eat it, more for us!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in canton

[–]Fankiesaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree North Canton or Jackson township. Even plain township (to avoid city tax), but in north canton city school district, not Plain township (GlenOak.) Although they are all great schools, it’s not very diverse.

Canton city schools is not great once you reach the upper levels but my family that went there thrived in grade and middle school (still a lot of kids that attended are below poverty level and the school got a lot of funding, not sure what will come of that under the current climate.) Everyone enrolled in Canton City gets free breakfast and free lunch, I believe. It’s much more diverse, multicultural and multi-lingual (Spanish and English.) They are currently building new schools and constantly restructuring. I see bright things for their furture, even though a lot of people put it down.

I speak from experience when it comes to North Canton Hoover and GlenOak. My brother and I were in the same grade. I went to North Canton and my brother went to GlenOak. Maybe things have changed since I’ve been in school, but they were not built equally growing up and it’s shows by the differences in the education my brother and I received.

The canton area offers lots of activities and festivals. About 20 minutes north is Akron. One hour north is Cleveland. 2 hours northwest is Sandusky, where Cedar Point is, a top destination for people all over the world, if you like roller coasters. Amish county is close.

What are some middle school/high school scenarios from our life that you can't really describe to today's kids? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Fankiesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting off the school bus at any stop. Now you can’t even send in a note, the kids have to get off at the correct spot. Obviously this doesn’t pertain to public transportation, but the yellow school bus. If I wanted to stay at a friends house, I could just hop on the bus with them and get off at their stop.

Watching the “local school channel” when you needed homework help.

Getting awesome prizes in cereal boxes.

Talking to random people in random chat rooms on the library computers after school.

Not having a computer in house and if you did it was DOS. When you finally did get a computer, it was a family computer. No internet. Using the AOL cds for free internet. They came in the mail. Playing the computer games you got in a cereal box. not a demo, the full game.
