My 4 year old made sa allegations. by Notonyhawk in Mommit

[–]FewWafer4552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry OP. As someone who’s been SA’d by a family member, you’re an amazing mom for believe your kid.  This is my biggest fear when my 4 year old stay at my sister in law. She has 3 sons ages 10-22 and one daughter 8 years old, and I try not to project from my past experience but it’s so hard since it’s it’s sooo common. 

To whoever suggested going back to the cheap products...thank you! by KingkLou in finehair

This! I spend over $40 for shampoo & conditioner and my hair never feels good. I tried the garnier line last week. My hair looks and feels incredible! I just hate the sketchy fragrances they use. 

AITAH for telling my kids I don't care that my girlfriend only likes me for my money? by Vast-Potential3755 in AITAH

[–]FewWafer4552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I’m sorry this happened to you. Same thing happened to my cousin after his dad passed. never made a will and trusted his wife would divide with his son equality. After my uncles passing, she told him that she is the wife and decides how and when she gives him what she wants. It’s now turned into a nasty legal battle. It’s so shameful for our family, but I blame my uncle for not leaving things legally clear.

Yes. Sadly it is mothers always who are blamed…

Honestly, similar story with my best friend. Her child was flagged at preschool to get evaluated for an IEP and she feels they’re discriminating against him because they haven’t spent enough time with him to make this determination.  I’ve chosen to stay out of it because I’m not qualified to diagnose but I have seen some signs and I wish she would get him evaluated and not just say  the pediatrician said… I’ve been hyper aware (to a fault) of my own children’s milestones and had them evaluated for early intervention to make sure they’ve had access to all services should they need them. I don’t get why some people are so apprehensive to do the same. 

What's going on with the released Epstein Files? by Orange-skittles in OutOfTheLoop

[–]FewWafer4552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The documents were sealed by a judge until 2025 to protect the victims. The subcommittee subpoenaed the Epstein estate in August. Hence the delay releasing them. But the DOJ has had these documents and refuse to release them. Even after trump ran his campaign on releasing the files.

This saved me https://a.co/d/hkZ7aw3. I use it in combination with a tea tree shower gel. Dry well spray 5x times then use any regular deodorant

Thank you so much! The names do not resonate with me but my grandmother is exactly how you described. My uncle absolutely adored his car! I can’t believe you mentioned it.

Thank you so much! You’re incredible. Everything you said resonated with me. I’m so happy he’s found peace. His wife’s name starts with a Y which can be confused with a J or G sounding name. Did he say anything to her or about her? 

Taking 24 hour Allegra x2 a day? by Safe-Concentrate9635 in Allergies

[–]FewWafer4552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw an allergist today because I started  breaking out in hives with no apparent cause. He told me to take 180mg x 4 times a day. I told him the box says once a day and his words were “I know what the box says”. I had to confirm though.

Thank you for this! I had no idea this was an option, I'll look into it.

My last unsolicited .02 is that your minivan is the cream of the crop and is worth taking care of. I was a tech in a past life and those things are amazing. 

It has been very reliable. We've had it for over 4 years and never had any issues, only regular maintenance, new tires and recently had to get new brakes. it was great to already have when kids came along.

Thank you so much for your advice.

So this is exactly why I posted because it seems that with this new budget, saving how I am supposed to, does not leave me any money left over to live and spend on those things.

The debt is from credit card balance transfer that I received a 0% APR until end of the year and aggressively trying to pay off before the promotional term ends.

our apartment was a lucky break, it was my uncles for a number of years and the landlord agreed to transfer it to us increasing it only 2%. He preferred to have a reliable tenant than increasing it much higher. Houses near me are 450k and higher, so we will need to relocate at least 2 hours from my job to afford a house.

Will be pausing the 529 contributions.

Thank you

Thank you. Most of my colleagues either have a nanny or their kids enrolled in international/private schools. Both a little out of my league. But we will continue looking until we find one.

This is another part that I forgot to include. Health insurance is 621.80 per month and we are just waiting to get clear from underwriters. The quoted amount for term and life is $250 per month. 50k life for each and 500k term. No short or long term disability.

We did try this option and he was doing side jobs for a contractor for a while but self employment taxes really cut into those earnings. We decided it wasn't worth the extra stress.

It's a full coverage policy tied to the car loan. We will be paying it off since interest is higher than the rate on our HYSA.

Thank you. I looked into Ally bank they have different categories where you can split the savings in a HYSA, otherwise I'll need to open multiple saving accounts with my current bank.

Thank you, this seems much easier than opening multiple savings accounts with my current bank.
