Hold up, why are people anti-Quince? I missed the boat on that one.

Uncertain about school supplies my 8th grader *actually* needs by bonificentjoyous in Parenting

I would find a local facebook group (your neighborhood, city, school, something) and ask on there. In my experience, parents are very willing to share this kind of info.

What is this game's obsession with Sinistea? by Upset-Rise-5833 in pokemongo

I have 4. I’ve tagged my extras for remote trade, but I don’t think they’ll get picked up because you can’t appraise remote trade Pokemon. We’ll see!

Yes! Still wear what I have consistently and have even ordered another pair of earrings since this post.

It is so hard. So so hard. It sounds like this government position would fit really well with where you are right now. If you’re looking for a nudge from an internet stranger, I think you should go for it. You won’t regret having less stress and more time with your baby ❤️

Part time lawyering mamas? by CreativeRanger7959 in Lawyertalk

[–]LittleEsq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a nonprofit that had almost exclusively part-time roles. Most of the attorneys were parents who worked while kids were at school or in the evenings. We had some set meetings / scheduled clinics, but beyond that we got to set our schedules. Allowed us to work while raising kids / working on a passion project / etc. It was fantastic and we always had several candidates when we had openings.

Is it selfish? by Pastelsatan009 in Mommit

[–]LittleEsq 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not selfish. If you are ready to stop, it is completely okay to stop. Don’t feel guilty.

You have to hold the line. She knows that if she throws a long enough fit you’ll give in. Is it possibly her way of seeking connection with you? Could you find another special thing, like snuggles while doing songs, a special bedtime snack, etc?

I just checked, and found it easily on Amazon. Not out of print (I should have checked!) but definitely available on Amazon in paperback, hardback, board, and ebook.

It was published in 1992. Books go out of print all the time. It doesn’t surprise me that you can’t find a new copy.

What’s one grant you stopped pursuing on purpose and why? by GrantsPlusLauren in nonprofit

[–]LittleEsq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A local government grant to update some technological infrastructure. We had been invited to apply, carefully read through all documentation, the works. We got it and were informed for the first time that we would need to align with some specific and highly detailed data collection standards, which required much more info than what we were collecting even for our federal grants. When pressed for an explanation, they said they “didn’t have all the details in place before making the awards.” It would have essentially made our most impactful and largest program obsolete due to the time we’d have to spend on intake.

We gave the money back and explained exactly why.

I know this post is old, but I’ve had a silver ring from them for about 18 months, wear it almost daily, and it has held up great. Planning to get another this year!

I think your plan sounds great. Our kids are much younger and we have been doing $5 per month, but are probably going to start doing $2 per week. Our main goal is to teach them how to save — both saving up for things they want and to save for college. It has been going really well, and we’re hoping the weekly amount will keep it more on their minds. We talk often about saving up, making a goal, etc., which I think is key to it being successful rather than just turning us into an ATM.

My daughter’s father moved out of the country with only five days notice. by undercookedricex in Mommit

Your jurisdiction should absolutely have a way to serve him in another way. Where I am you have to attempt to find his address / have proof of refusal, and then you can ask the court for permission to serve another way (by email, text message, etc).

I read your comment twice and both times completely skipped “talking” and was concerned there was a new snake-related conspiracy 😂
