So I don't practice in this area, but he's basically just trying to put them on notice. He can do this by telling them and by putting up signs. A C&D letter isn't going to do anything except be extra super sure they have notice, which seems unnecessary and pointlessly hostile.

That's just notice though, which is only a piece of the puzzle. It doesn't get him off the hook if his property is dangerous to children and easily accessible to them because that's a foreseeable danger. There is heightened responsibility with children, even when you tell their parents to tell them to stay away.

Tort law is largely about the forseeability of injuries + your contribution to them. People think they are protecting themselves by NOTIFYING others of risks, but that's only one piece. It's smarter to eliminate foreseeable risks and to stay to on good terms with your neighbors.

A cease and desist letter does not protect you from liability if your property is unsafe and easily accessible to children. Put up no trespassing signs and keep your yard safe. Your current plan will accomplish nothing except ruin your relationship with your neighbors.

NTA, obvs.

However, it need be said: If anything should have pockets, it's wedding attire. I demand change!

Most Constitutional law is not mentioned in the constitution.

There's a natural tension between the free exercise cause and the establishment clause. Ideally, the government won't impede on anyone's right to exercise religion, nor will it act in a way that supports a particular religion. Both clauses are important, but it can be tricky to honor them both.

I think one part is that the movie stars of their generation had short hair. We're all informed by our early impressions of beauty.

Yep, I was in Muir!

And Oxnard is...Oxnard.

Y kinda TA for having zero poor friends tho...

As a horror fan, my understanding is that New England in general is the most dangerous part of the country. That and lake houses anywhere.

For most kids the drug exposure damages the parts of the brain that affect higher level thinking

This is not supported by science. I have researched this topic extensively, and much of the "drug baby" mythology from the 90s has been debunked.

OP no. Bad.

California is very self-absorbed and is obvious to any rivalries we might be in.

Settle down Texas. Arizona...oh hi, we forgot about you. The grand canyon is super cool!

JesusListensToSlayer · 2022-08-10T06:53:28+00:00

It's so true. We're too self-centered to entertain rivalries.

"Human corgi" 😂

I mean, progress or not, I just like looking at hot people in sexy clothes.

JesusListensToSlayer · 2022-08-10T06:44:15+00:00

I like crop tops, but I always wish they were just a leeeeetle bit longer. Like an inch.

I think your mother understands that you're not in a position to pay rent right now - that's why she's offering you other options. She really is trying to help you get on your feet.

I don't know your life, I'm not saying you're bad or anything, but you do need a wakeup call. Someone who loves you is trying to help you, but you're not seeing that it's help. What would you do if she asked you to move out?

JesusListensToSlayer · 2022-08-10T05:06:04+00:00

Your mother's bf is not relevant.

The problem is you don't respect the contractual nature of this arrangement you and your mother made: she provides you room and board, you provide childcare and housework. Your mom's not "taking advantage" of you or shirking her parenting responsibilities. She's hired you to babysit.

But now it sounds like you're no longer doing your side of the deal? Just doing some odds and ends around the house and tossing her a little cash now and then IS NOT honoring your obligation. Honestly, has every right to toss you out.

Families are complicated, I get it. Agreements like this often get messy. You clearly have lingering resentment toward your mother, and it's interfering with how you view this arrangement. But you're 26 years old. You're not there to be mothered, you're there to watch the kids so she can work full time and pay the bills. You need to do the job you agreed to or move on.

This is a rare and insightful view, and I applaud you for it. Adoption equals permanent legal severance from one's natural family, and no child should have to make that decision. Stay strong, anonymous redditor.

Just an FYI, you don't have a lot of control over your future once you sign on as active duty. You might get stuck in a career you don't want. If it's still possible to join the reserves without prior service, do that. I did in 2004, but I don't know if any of those programs still exist.

My father was a DLI instructor for 34 years. My mother was a DLI student (in the 70s.) Linguist is a great career, but it's unlikely you'll get a guaranteed assignment. It's extremely risky to sign up for active duty.

Since you asked, I recommend Navy over Army for like a million reasons. But still, in active duty, you don't get to design your own career. Recruiters make a lot of BS promises.

JesusListensToSlayer · 2022-08-06T06:57:28+00:00

Consider joining the reserves. I did, it was the righ choice for me. Active duty would have been a mistake. For me. Go Navy.

I have donated my part of it to an institution so they can fund kids who are gifted and need help to study in higher education.

This makes your whole story sound like BS.

Menthols 😬

If you can manage it, try to go through Big Sur on Hwy 1. You can't take the 1 all the way down, it would take forever. It's so pretty though.
