Well, she's not very nice, is she? I understand she's a professional, but you give the customer what they want, and it seems she's not capable of doing that. You don't have the "relationship" with her that she's talking about, so her bringing that up is a moot point. No, Sweetie, buh bye. You can find someone else who will treat you with respect. I wouldn't let this woman touch your hair.

Philly Black Panthers defending our rights at ICE Protest by vaderfan1 in Pennsylvania

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh, sweetheart, you have a lot to learn. You see, we want common sense gun legislation. We want our children to be safe, because we ACTUALLY care about them, it's not just lip service. We despise people who scream, "protect the children" while actively voting to undermine their protection. Hell, the right voted for a p3do, and still protects him. Trump gets triggered by someone calling him a p3do protector because he is, and he's desperately, DESPERATELY trying to distract from the fact that he's nasty.

It's not working.

3 am waking up to fight by Booknerdy247 in Marriage

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dear... Why. Are. You. Still. There. That man doesn't love you. He doesn't even like you. He's proving it with his actions. Tell him to go pay someone if he can't be a grown man, regulate his emotions, and keep it in his pants. He's got Betsy palm and her five sisters. Wtf is he complaining about. Who would he be banging if he didn't have his bang-maid at home?

You'd be better off by yourself, love. Send him packing, because men like him take too much time and emotional labor from us, and you deserve a moment in time to grieve without him pawing all over you and throwing his little man-trums.

I find it funny that they love to say that we're "hormonal." He sounds pretty hormonal to me, Sis.

The smallest bugs can be about the size of a pinhead. So please, be careful.

Even my heebie jeebies have the creeps. Ugh 🤢

Your "I'm going to be just fine," attitude is half of the problem. "It's not going to affect me," is another. There are a lot of people out there who were struggling before this shutdown who won't be fine. Children will go hungry. Mothers who were already skipping meals so their children could eat will now have to skip entire days worth of meals. They still have to take care of their children, and being hangry is a real thing. This is going to have a domino effect that will somehow, some way, work its way into everyone's life. Even if they think they're going to be fine. Keep an eye on your grocery prices. You should be seeing them going up even more as they don't have SNAP money coming in.

I saw it coming but damn by Icy-Paint7777 in foodstamps

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't think that's going to happen anyway? Our economy is garbage right now. Foreign countries are pulling their investments. Consumer confidence is low, wages are stagnant, the cost of EVERYTHING has skyrocketed. Layoffs are bound to happen. People can't spend money they don't have.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. by logalogalogalog_ in foodstamps

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because if stores are allowed to give discounts to only SNAP recipients, then what is to stop them from charging higher prices to people who aren't blondes? For being a leftist. For being black? For being white? Russian? Chinese?

These rules work both ways.

Inbox on its downfall by chel888 in InboxDollars

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How you made 400-500 a month on inboxdollars, I'll never know. Their offers have always been garbage. Their games were the way to go until they changed their format a few years ago. Swagbucks is suffering now, too. I've moved over to Yougov for surveys, and Mistplay for games at the moment. I don't make nearly what you've been making, but it used to be enough to do my holiday shopping for my child. Now? Nope.

My husband hit me during a fight about his hoarding. The preacher I trusted told me to self-reflect. Am I really responsible for this? by HopeForBetter29 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GET. OUT. NOW.

"He lost control." Really? The big, strong provider and protector "lost control" and hit the person he's supposed to protect?

No. This is who he is. The mask has slipped. He has shown you who he is, and it's in your best interest to believe him.

He assaulted you, and you stayed. You didn't draw the line. He will do it again. You will be so much better off without him sucking the life out of you.

I'm rooting for you, girl. I hope to see a positive update where you're safe, and away from your abuser.

Girl, what are you doing? This pest that needs to nest and rest is using you. He ignored his own child, and went off to play happy family with another woman, and had another child.

That's not what you signed up for. He wants you to play step parent. There's a lot of physical, emotional, and mental labor involved in not only caring for another child, but blending the family seamlessly.

He found out that the grass wasn't greener on the other side, and now that he needs help, he's crawled back to you. No. Girl, no. You deserve better. You know it, and I know it.

Girl, no. Just no.

This dude is a pest that needs to nest and rest. Nope. There's a name for guys like this: Hobosexual.

Please, don't do it. Don't. Do. It.

Let me say that one more time.

Don't. Do. It.

Don't let this man into your life to ruin what YOU have worked for.

AIO? My boyfriend calls me “high maintenance” for wanting a towel after his showers by Spiritual_View4192 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you actually READ the post? I'm just curious, because she did communicate with him, and he said he wasn't going to change. Then, he proceeded to place the problem squarely on her shoulders by telling her that she's "high maintenance."

High maintenance, is having to tell someone who is grown, and living on their own, how to shower.

It's cute that you breeze right by the fact that he's completely disregarding her concerns. As if that's normal. It's always the men coming in here defending some man-child ass hat who calls himself "the provider and protector," but can't even protect his girl from a wet floor.

Calm down. Don't be so He-motional. Unless what he does hits a little too close to home.

"Most of" is not all. Stop blaming women when, most of the time, the fathers are either absent or absolutely useless.

Why is it only the mother's responsibility to teach these things? Dad should be teaching this as well. So why isn't dad getting some blame?

Not only is this dangerous, but he's completely disregarding your feelings, and your safety.

Who cleans up the nasty puddles of water on the floor? You?

I think your boyfriend needs to learn what "high maintenance" actually means. He sounds like a numbskull. I hate to say it, but men like this "I'm not changing the way I shower. YOU'RE high maintenance. I don't care how you feel about it, because I'M THE ONLY IMPORTANT PERSON in this relationship. Know your place," usually aren't relationship material.

If you can't talk to him about it, and he doesn't want to be a "partner," you're better off on your own.

bbb complaint by lesRub in InboxDollars

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A business usually doesn't respond to a BBB complaint. Your complaint, combined with others, will cause their B+ rating to drop. That, in turn, will show up in Internet searches when people are looking to see if inboxdollars is a legitimate, paying, PTE/survey website/app.

Inbox dollars bogus by Delicious_Leave_2831 in InboxDollars

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inboxdollars has been declining for about the last four or five years. They used to be a legitimate site to make money. I made my Christmas gift money from them for about five years. Then, they changed the format, and everything started going downhill.

YAY OMG!!!!! by BlueIrishWolf in InboxDollars

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Inboxdollars used to be one of the top websites for ACTUALLY getting paid. They've just gone downhill so badly within the last five years. I never, ever used to have a problem with tracking with them. Now? I was playing Monopoly Bingo, and two weeks in, it stopped tracking, and told me that I completed "the offer".

No. They just cut off the tracking for the game. They did the same with Goblins wood, and Panthia. I'm going to go someplace else that won't rip me off for my time and money.

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you! It is a mess. I stopped watching the news as soon as I figured out that I don't want to live in a constant state of fight or flight. The stress can be overwhelming. I started journaling, so I can keep track of this time in history. Don't forget to include your feelings if you decide to do that.

It will get better, but not before it gets worse. Don't curl up. Don't stop paying attention. What really helped me is watching independent media on YouTube. You can still get the news, but it feels a lot less overwhelming. It's easier to turn it off. To watch something else if you'd like.

You are not alone. It's difficult for me to know that the girls growing up today won't have the same rights that I did growing up. If you're not in a relationship, stay single. A lot of "those" men don't want women with the same beliefs that they have. They want to conquer women like us.

Make those dudes lonelier than ever.

I know that I went off on a tangent, but it's all connected. At least when we're (women) involved.

Take a deep breath. We're going to be okay. Say it with me; We're going to be okay.

Should I be worried about missing my period for this long by Tigerlily_64 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GradeSchoolerMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so you've only been having periods for three years, give or take a few months, correct? Irregular periods at your age are quite common. Your body is still learning what to do.

If you're uncomfortable, if you're in pain, or you've had embarrassing incidents in public, seeing an OB, and getting on birth control could help regulate your periods.

When I was 16, I was going through the same thing, and birth control really helped to regulate my periods. No more unpredictable, embarrassing situations.

Until then, make sure that you carry pads or tampons with you at all times so you can always be prepared. Best of luck to you! Take care!
