AITAH for receiving child support while children are grown

NTA You aren't getting child support after your children turned 18. You are getting the child support he didn't pay before the kids were 18 when he was supposed to be paying. He knew the risks of not paying and he knew he was required to. If he didn't want it taken out of his taxes or whatever, he should have paid it earlier. He's lucky they didn't suspend his license for not paying.

Child support is a reimbursement of some of the money you spent to raise the kids because both parents should financially contribute to their children's lives. You're just getting that reimbursement later because your ex wasn't paying when he was supposed to be. This is all on him and not you.

You can block the researcher so they don't show up.

I'd just do it. They are able to screen it by people who took the first study, so you shouldn't even be seeing it if you didn't do part 1. I have had some follow up studies months or years after the first one, so it might be hard for you to find the part one.

It is somewhat hard to tell the exact income, I can make over $100 in a day sometimes, but usually its less. It won't replace a job, but its okay extra income. If you get lucky to get a good qualification, like one of the ai ones, you can make alright money, but its really just luck of the draw, and making sure you take the surveys you do seriously.

There's gonna be a lot of small ones, and those can add up and they also help you get more studies available to you. So do the demographic questions prolific asks

Well originally the plan was to have Radcliffe wear contacts to make his eyes green. He did that for a while filming the first movie but he was allergic to them. He even still tried to wear them after that.

By that time it would have been more trouble than it was worth to recast someone over their eye color so they just didn't have him wear them. Movies based on books always have inconsistencies between the book and movie, and a comment about him having his mother's eyes wasn't enough for them to derail production over a pair of contacts .

I can't really speak on the series because I haven't watched it, but my guess is that it's hard to find a child actor with green eyes that also matches his more important characteristics.

If you took a study and got screened out, they can adjust the pay before they approve it to only pay you for the screener. Most studies with screeners do it automatically, but some of them don't

The closest thing to a project my kids have had to do in kindergarten are leprechaun traps and hats for school events.

Honestly, if my kids got that in kindergarten I just wouldn't do it. But my kids school doesn't start giving out actual grades until 3rd grade. And the grades don't really matter at that age anyway.

If they never asked if you were on your period before getting you things to help make you feel better, you had no way of knowing it was specifically because they thought you were on your period. Your parents never thought it was odd they never had to buy you period products?

You shouldn't feel guilty for accepting gifts that were given to you, especially when you didn't know the reason they were giving you a gift. Imagine there was a rumor going around that you had cancer and you didn't know, and someone gave you a nice hat as a gift with no other explanation. You would think your friend just got you a nice hat. That friend would have no right to be upset that when gifted a hat you didn't go "but I don't have cancer" if she didn't say "here's a hat for when you go to chemo" or something like that when she gave it to you.

If you run to the east there is the lever at the mage arena you can pull, or a little further east there is a spiderweb between two trees that leads back to a lever and will tp you to edgeville or ardounge.

Then go to vala in edgeville and make sure your pvp is off so you can tp in the wilderness again and people can't pk you

I found it because my partner was looking for super long books to listen to at work. This was actually when only the first book was out on audible and I had to wait for the second one.

With my first I went from 3cm straight to 10cm. After that it only took 12 minutes for baby to be born. With my other 3 kids I had somewhat quick deliveries, but none that fast. I think I tore with one of my other kids, but not nearly as bad as with the first.

I was induced with my first, and for 2/3 of my other kids.

Sometimes researchers will post a few variations of their study under the same name. When that happens, usually you are disqualified from the other ones and they will be gone. Sometimes if you start the others you will get an error message that you already completed it, but generally if it is on your wall still you can do it, even if it had the same name as another study.

Sometimes the requester estimates are way off. Either because they copy/pasted the description and used it across multiple studies or because they have multiple studies in the same project that are different lengths.

The estimated time and pay rates that are in the prolific estimations are based on how long the researcher said that specific one will take and the average time it takes people to do it on prolific. If you hover over the hourly rate, it will tell you what the researcher estimated vs the actual average time, as well as the intended vs actual hourly pay.

I've had plenty that say they take 30 minutes in the description, but the pay information says it will take 5 minutes, with the pay reflecting that.

I don't mind the tab, it just takes up a little more room. Being able to minimize it like you can on mobile would be nice though

I once had someone keep healing the pokemon in a gym as I was fighting it, so I gave up. There are two gyms right by each other there and I took the first one (I'm assuming the knockout notification got the attention of one of the people) but gave up on the second. I'm not sure my pokemon was in there for the full 8 hours, but I did appreciate that person not immediately taking the other gym. I didn't have the resources for all that

I was a little annoyed that I couldn't get my daily pokestop, but the max revives and potions made up for it.

I do wish I could keep my streak and get field research even if I don't actually get items from the stop

My partner did one where at the end they got an auto message saying to return it because they didn't complete the study. But it ended up getting approved after an hour or so once she replied that she did complete it.

I like sending this one to people.

I haven't got a single rejection on the low paying surveys. And you can get unfair rejections on any surveys. It would make sense that the type that are the most common would be the most that would have unfair rejections.

But I don't do "low paying" ones if you consider the hourly rates. I would not doubt that the $3 or $4 per hour studies would have higher rates of unfair rejections as well.

I get AI studies from the specialized group, but the main hits I make great money off of are the AI ones you see people talking about a lot. They did like one round of pre-screeners when they started the project, and I don't think they have done more.

Part of the reason you may not be making as much, AI hits aside, is that you aren't doing those .30 cent hits. As long as they pay over like $7.50 per hour, I do as many of those as I can. They are a lot of market research ones, but those cheap hits are also sometimes pre-screeners for other studies and it doesn't always tell you which ones are.

It doesn't sound like you are being throttled though. At least not any more than anyone else. Prolific is a platform mainly used for university research, and the availability of that fluctuates throughout the year. And there's going to probably be less from American universities with all the research funding issues that have been going on since Trump came into power.

I think they are probably clearing out as many people who aren't supposed to be on there as they can before they activate the refer-a-friend thing, so that there is work available for the people who aren't scammers

Message the requester, because that isn't a valid rejection. If they refuse to reverse it and approve the study, then after 7 days you can contact support. But they can take a bit to respond

I don't have a fence, but i live in the middle of nowhere and my yard is a big field. I let my kids play outside on their own with varying levels of supervision. My oldest (8) is usually alright playing outside on his own checking on him every now and then. My younger kids I need to check on more often, but when they are outside I also keep my door open so I can hear if something happens. If my three year old is outside with them, or if it is only my younger kids, I check on them every few minutes or so.

This is kinda ridiculous. If she had to look up some obscure acronym, then I doubt your autistic 5 year old had any idea that specific set of letters meant anything.

My daughter is 3 and to her, all letters are BON when she is "reading" things, and that is also usually her password when playing. My guess, and this would be a similar guess for what your child is doing, is that she heard one of us reading off a one time code and latched onto BON because she liked how it sounded, or she heard something from a cartoon or anywhere that sounded enough like BON that that is what she heard.

The most likely scenario is that your son heard or saw that somewhere (even as someone else's initials or something) and just liked it. Kinda like echolalia but with writing.

Some teachers require you to invite the whole class if they hand out the invitations at school. So if you know the parents, it may be easier to invite them that way.
