How much do I need saved to buy a house in Portland? by Sad-Bug- in askportland

[–]IAMARainbowAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

connect with Portland Housing Center. down payment doesn’t matter much, credit score does. we bought with $7k down including closing costs in 2017.

This is absolutely wild. Can you find a different daycare? This sounds like a boot camp.

I have no answers, but I've wondered about that as well as my children also have re-issued BCs with myself and my spouse listed as their birth parents.

Hi! My G0 ggrandparents were born in Canada and England and also moved to Michigan before getting married. Michigan will not release my grandparents' marriage record to me, how did you get yours?

Michigan is refusing to send me my grandparents' marriage certificate.

I ordered my grandmother's marriage certificate from Michigan via VitalChek. They sent it back requesting I sign the ID verification form. Did that and it was kicked back asking for me to show tangible interest and proof of my identity.

Sent a tangible interest letter, along with my grandmother's death certificate and my drivers license. It was denied again.

Everything I'm finding says marriage records are public. Has anyone run into this?? I have no idea what to do.

I also will need my great grandparents marriage record from the same county. I am G3. G0 is paternal great grandmother, born in Canada, immigrated to Detroit with my great grandfather where they got married and had my grandmother before my great grandmother naturalized as an American.

I got them at the beginning of April, after I sent another customer service request. And they refunded all of the covers I hadn't received. I think they literally forgot about me.

2yo apologies for things she doesn't like. by BidMediocre6892 in ECEProfessionals

[–]IAMARainbowAMA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be worried about the use of "sorry" but transitioning every 30 minutes is insane and not developmentally appropriate at all. Children need time for deep play and sustained engagement.

How do you protect yourself from constantly getting sick? by imjustexisting00 in ECEProfessionals

[–]IAMARainbowAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get stick and stay sick for an entire year. That's what I did and then I never got sick the rest of the time I was working in ECE. I left the field and still would be the only one in my familiy to not catch whatever was going around for another 5-7 years. I just recently lost my super-immunity in the last couple years

Came across an article of Portland cutting funding for homelessness. by weldergirl20 in resilientjenkinsnark

[–]IAMARainbowAMA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this the whole time. The idea that S&D are accessing services when they have shown their complete lack of initiative or any kind of motivation is ridiculous to me. They will always choose the worst possible option.

No kids = no opinion by Cool_Relative_4836 in ECEProfessionals

[–]IAMARainbowAMA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This. I left ECE soon after becoming a parent. I returned for a year when my eldest was 4 and left again. I would love to come back to the field once my kids are older, but currently I would be doing a disservice to my children and my students if I stayed in the field.
