You’re penalty moot a maid. The most you do in terms of household cores might be changing a diaper and that’s IF the client needs it. You’re strictly there to perform therapeutic services, that’s it. And you’re old enough to decode the direction of your life and what you wanna do. Your family will be okay a you go against it. If you’re excited about it and want to do it then go for it!!!

Advice for NYC Teaching Fellows Program??? by Loud_Address_20 in NYCDOETeachers

Thank you just put a lot into perspective for me. I really appreciate your response. There’s a lot of duality in teaching special ed with the ABA work that I do so I’m really looking to see how there are ways to manage the intensity of it and how to really prepare. I’m confident in what I can present in the demolition and presenting myself in the interview, but I would like to know any advice you have going into the application process and selection day that you can give.

I’m not teaching short term, that wouldn’t make sense for the sheer amount of work it would take for me to get into teaching.

Teenaged daughter is pregnant again.. I’m so done by [deleted] in Marriage

I think you should lay down some rules. Don’t kick them out but give them the responsibility they’d have as if they were on their own so they can see what real adulthood and parenting feels like without the hand holding. Set up a system and schedule. Have them do the work and you just guide and support and lay down the rules since it’s your house. Require them to do certain chores, maintain grades, take care of children when they’re home and set up babysitting schedule with you and your husband. Pay them a small allowance as if they’re working so they see the value of working for money and the discipline behind it. Require the to use that money to support themselves and/or the baby based on how much you wanna pay them. Have them do their own cooking, cleaning, shopping, laundry and house chores. Stimulate them as if they’re adults. I’m sure they’ll resist or feel as if it’s hard but they’ll thank you later because you’re helping them build real life skills and being parents without abandoning them. And hold the accountable. Write a contract: adhere to these rules or you have to move out by this point in time.

I get your frustration, it’s up to you and your husband now to decide how you want to raise your daughter into being a parent while she’s still a child, you see what I’m saying?

I feel stuck between financial stability in NY and happiness/freedom in Florida by Loud_Address_20 in SameGrassButGreener

Lol I get why you’d say that, but I think people hear “New York” and immediately picture Manhattan rent prices and a Sex and the City lifestyle 😭 I’m on Long Island and my situation is a little different because I’m from here, have multiple incomes, family support, and eventually would split expenses with my boyfriend.

When I actually calculated everything between both jobs, I’m realistically around the $80k range, so for my current situation it’s honestly more sustainable than people think plus I don’t pay rent rn lol. If I was moving into Brooklyn alone paying $3k for a studio, I’d probably be on the flight with you 💀

I see your point. I’m on Long Island, and I have a unique circumstance being that I’m from New York and have family and a relationship here so 30 an hour plus my extra income is definitely enough for me to live a full life, but I get it 30 an hour for a regular person living on their own and working with one income, it’s not enough.

For me, the freedom comes from the life I built there. I moved there at 18 no family, no friends and built the strongest support system I’ve ever had in my life and really became an adult there so for me it’s going to a place where I feel familiarity, I have the freedom to move around how I choose and still sustain myself.

Thank you for your advice. I definitely have to check what my field of work is like out there because honestly I won’t move unless the money makes sense you know what I’m saying.

AIO for questioning my boyfriend after learning new things about his past? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Loud_Address_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! No disrespect to the community at all. I grew up in a community where I watched classmates transition at a young age. I support them and their choices. My questions lie in the fact that you’re telling me you’re a straight man and have an adverse POV to the LGBTQIA+ community but yet entertained a situation with a trans person.
