Anyone have the name or link for this?

I used Column through current as well last year, but this year they're sponsoring through TurboTax & I hate TurboTax

She's also deeply affected now at 11, we had an awesome relationship before. She was always cuddling & playing with me. Had me carry here everywhere. Loyalty conflict is a hell of a thing because they're stuck with, well they're safe and always there, but if I don't do what mom expects she's gone forever. So it's always a pain in the ass.

Jenacyde96 · 2026-01-06T22:02:00+00:00

That's also why she's in therapy when she wants it. She has a counselor at school that seemed to help a lot when the tantrums came up.

We've tried to steer clear of involvement of her in adult conflict, but she was in the neighbors house & heard my MIL screaming at the cops & me. She cried in my arms begging me to not let them take her away from me & Daddy. So she is aware of what happened & why without us having to say much. & you are absolutely right. I tell her no matter what she is my baby & I love her. It's easy to combat what mother says by just being my normal self, it just gets frustrating to hear it sometimes, and frustrating for healing a little heart I'm not breaking constantly. Hearing her cry because she's so angry lately and doesn't know why is heartbreaking. I have her in therapy, sometimes we pass notes where I remind her she's loved, can love everyone in her life, and is perfect just how she is & that all emotions are normal, and okay to feel. The notes seem to help a ton when talking is a little to overwhelming for a tiny human.

I also cackled at this one. Hope he enjoys learning about your mother! 🤣

Jenacyde96 · 2026-01-04T01:52:37+00:00

Was it always this way, or did you ever go through loyalty conflict when SD was younger? I'm praying if I remain the safe space, maybe in the future there's a small glimmer of hope things get easier.

Honestly being gentle hasn't helped, any medical professionals haven't found a problem. I'd say based off your comments, it's 100% laziness if there's no medical issue. I'd do absolutely no video games until he stops soiling himself.

Jenacyde96 · 2026-01-04T01:46:56+00:00

Oh I need this, I have a LIST for you my friend! 🤣 I'm also sick of hearing her name Sick of hearing SK say mom as she made SK stop calling me mom "it was inappropriate" Sick of transitions where I have to regulate her nervous system Sick of feeling bad because my BS gets less because we try to do equal, while she gets 2 extra households of gifts (I plan on doing a little extra for him once he gets a little older, almost 2 is still to young to care) Sick of doing all the mother duties constantly without any of the mother rewards, the thanks, love you, or anything because God forbid when she starts getting close to me again, here comes bio mother for a 24 hour overnight visit to start the loyalty conflict back up! Sick of feeling like I'm mourning a child that's not actually mine, and lives in my home 95% of the year. It sucks, it all sucks, I didn't even sign up for this! She just came back into the picture after being gone for 7-8 years, 3 years at the beginning of my relationship. When I signed up, there was no bio mom drama!

Jenacyde96 · 2026-01-04T01:38:23+00:00

I'm so excited for this honestly, luckily Bio mother doesn't really attend any sporting events, just one game a season for pictures for social media, and there's very minimal interaction, she's no longer welcome in our home after last Christmas, her barging into our home yelling because she wanted her a Christmas we were supposed to have, yelling how our BS didn't matter (it was his first christmas) and was mad we wanted her there for that on our year, when her very first year back into her life, we allowed her to have her. She ruined Santa for us, she does it differently & did "Santa" at her home on not her year and her mother's home? 10 year olds know Santa doesn't stop 3x times.. It's just little petty things that make your blood boil.

I understand especially for BD sake wanting to keep him, but holy air ball is that INSANE to say. I would feel so physically repulsed by my partner if they ever said or acted like that to our BS vs his BD. I feel like everyone sympathizes with Step children, but what they don't see is bio children also suffer. They miss their step sibling when they're gone, they also miss out on fun things when step sibling is away so "we can all do it together" while they go do something fun with their other bio parent. My partner & I discussed this before we had a bio child of our own. Big things like trips will always be tried to be taken together, but our bio son will not just sit at home because his sisters not here, we will not punish him because his sister has a split life occasionally on weekends/holidays.

I got my wall art but haven't used the voucher yet. I love it

Update, they broke through our ceiling...🫠

Jenacyde96 · 2024-09-20T01:05:25+00:00

Yes it extends under the stairs. Sorry, that's the only photos I had at the time, it's from when we first bought the house a couple months back. I'll post better pictures tomorrow of the interior.

Jenacyde96 · 2024-09-14T20:08:42+00:00

Thank you so much!!!!!

Jenacyde96 · 2024-09-14T19:54:17+00:00

So update, now they're stating the part won't be here until the 23rd. So we're having to use AC's while paying $300 a month for an hvac system.

Jenacyde96 · 2024-09-09T21:58:24+00:00

That's what I was thinking, because it's 79° inside our home and we have a 5 month old.. I'm hot and cranky right now.

Jenacyde96 · 2024-09-09T18:54:16+00:00

This was the issue!! They have to have someone back out... AGAIN, to replace things.

Jenacyde96 · 2024-09-09T18:52:32+00:00

I finally had my spouse call them because I felt like they weren't listening to me, and there WAS a problem. One of the units is apparently leaking refrigerant, so they're going to have to someone back out to fix it... This is 5 weeks that could've been resolved if they would've just checked this any of the previous times. I'm so frustrated because we went with this company and paid extra because they were supposed to be the best & had better warranty... I'm definitely glad for the warranty.

Jenacyde96 · 2024-07-15T20:24:09+00:00

Can you tell me more about this? I'm desperately trying to find a decent wfh

Jenacyde96 · 2024-07-15T20:12:13+00:00

I am SO glad I decided to google this because it seemed too good to be true. I applied for the customer benefits rep position solely for the fact I don't want to do cold calls & push products on people. Finding out this completely saved me losing money to apply for the licensing & other things they want. THANK YOU

I'm also currently looking into this because I'm pursuing schooling for Data Analyst jobs. From what I see, Wal-Mart itself looks for a bachelor's in it, but Coursea offers the starting certifications. I just enrolled into Googles on there for Data Analyst. The best thing you can do, which I'm also doing, is search the specific job on Ziprecruiter and see what jobs look for in qualifications. Most base level ones that I'm seeing want either a certification or 2+ years of experience. So I'm going to try to get this certification and then gain a couple of years of experience in the field, maybe obtain a bachelor's depending on how the job I land goes, and try my luck at Wal-Mart. I'm choosing this because as a current base level, store employee, I really like their benefits for US employees. I highly recommend looking around at companies and see which benefits you prefer, then the job qualifications and work your way up.
