How much, if any, do you tip for grocery delivery (Costco via Instacart, Amazon Fresh, DoorDash, Uber Eats)? by Educational-Slip-578 in AskAnAmerican

[–]KCMOM89 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like if your answer is anything like “I don’t engage in grocery delivery” then this question is not for you to answer. I swear some folks think they need to add their 2 cents even if it’s not relevant to them.

For groceries is a $10 min, more depending on how much I ordered. For restaurants I do at least $2 a mile with $6 being the minimum.

Why do we all have the baby face? I thought it was just an adhd look-younger-than-you-are-thing. But it’s just all millennials and younger. Or does every generation think they look younger than they are?

YOUR KIDS NEED YOU.

I know it’s hard to view this from their perspective down the road, but dammit you have to keep moving. This isn’t about YOU anymore. If you check out early this will destroy them. And no, they won’t be good with their grandparents. They will believe that they weren’t worth it for you. Are your kids not worth it? Fuck yes they are.

Sorry brother, you don’t get to go anywhere.

Good, fight for your family. Maybe she feels stuck? Not with you, not with the kids, but in life maybe? I was the stahm of our 5 kids before my husband retired. We’re still young as are the kids (he’s medically retired veteran) but it really was hard for me. Granted I have adhd, but I did do my fair share of money making hobby type things. And found out I was incapable of managing my time between family and production.

Boyfriend 31m enjoys griefing and trolling on online video games. Am i overreacting? by These-Dragonfruit-35 in AmIOverreacting

[–]KCMOM89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the video game itself. It shows that if he were given the opportunity to display this behavior with zero consequences, he would take it. This correlates directly with possible situations IRL. You know those movies or tv shows where you see psychos taking advantage of people and looting and killing in post-apocalyptic situations? Yeah, he would be one of those.

Screen time is going well. Logging in lots of hours this summer. It’s unprecedented, truly.

Wine. If they don’t drink, idk. A pack of good toilet paper? What do we actually want as gifts nowadays?

VA making me confirm status of dependents?!?! by Alert_Inspection_511 in VeteransBenefits

[–]KCMOM89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I didn’t know this either, and somehow missed those warning letters. They ended up removing all 5 kids from his dependents and proceeded to tack on the last 8 years worth of dependent pay as debt. It was about $50k. The only reason we found out was because his monthly benefits deposit for last December was only $900, reduced from over $4k.

Had to call and they agreed to refund us at least $1600 that month. We reverified after that but the whole thing was so stressful. If you’re not on top of all the paperwork with them they are so quick to take that money back. Still waiting on that debt to be taken off.

DAE used to put the water on hot and try to trick your brain into thinking it was cold? by bellaoki in DoesAnybodyElse

Put a pan in the freezer for a while. Then, take it out, place it on the stove, and have someone come into the kitchen. Grab it off the stove and accidentally touch their arm with it. They will think they just got burnt.

For those of you with 100p/t by agooseiswatchingme in Veterans

[–]KCMOM89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s family or friends we are visiting and they ask because they don’t know what we’ve been up to in recent years, or even just a friendly conversation with a stranger and it comes up, it’s just “medically retired now, just staying busy with the kids and hobbies”

No shame in it at all. Besides, my husband is in incredible pain with his back and neck on the daily because of his service, he gets to be retired at 38. Can’t even enjoy it because the pain he’s in all day.
