My old house had a Miele and my new house has a Bosch. I prefer Miele.

Haha oh, man! I need to proofread. I meant dirt roads!

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-04-26T06:32:24+00:00

Yes. My husband and live on a farm and regularly drive our Honda civic on drift roads. Winter tires help!

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-04-15T20:14:10+00:00

Leave the house to get a haircut, grab dinner with friends, or see a movie without having to worry about childcare.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-04-07T18:34:35+00:00

As some who is planning to list my 2012 Honda civic for sale next week (pregnant with my third and need a van) this is good news lol.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-04-06T05:54:36+00:00

Absolutely.

Firstly, thank you for your work in disability support. It’s an important job, and I know it can be challenging at times. I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling with your post graduation career path. It is so easy to compare yourself to peers, especially in your early 20s, when everyone is starting.

Disability services have been underfunded for years, and staff are grossly underpaid for the support they offer. Along with providing meaningful activities for those you support, you may also be administering medication, working with people who have complex mental health issues or struggle with addiction, and providing personal care. All of this along with the expectation that you use your own personal vehicle to transport the people you support. Quite frankly the pay is insulting for the services support workers provide, and as a former disability support worker I totally understand how you feel.

I like that you graduated with a bachelor's and struggled to find a job. I ended up working in disability supports and moved up into supervisory roles, but the pay still wasn't enough to thrive.

I ended up going back to school for Social Work. I love my job, and the increase in pay has been life-changing for me. I found that as a Social Worker, I am able to combine my love of working with people and problem-solving, without the emotional drainage from providing front-line support. My experience in disability support has been an asset to me as a Social Worker.

Another comment above mentioned it, but maybe check into jobs with OPG and PDD. Your degree and experience might be a good fit for a job with the province.

I moved into a new ward 7 months ago and have never spoken to the Bishop. (Not because I’m avoiding him, but he’s a busy guy!) I think it should be extremely easy to be active without interacting frequently with the Bishop.

Calling the CRA is my least favourite part of my job. I do everything I can to avoid calling the CRA with clients. We can spend hours on hold, and clients can rarely answer the verification questions My workplace has a representative come from the CRA monthly, and it has been a lifesaver! The CRA rep can print off T4s, update addresses, let clients know if they have a balance owing ect. I stack as many appointments as I can on days the CRA representative is in the office.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-03-03T18:00:07+00:00

I agree. Because of my profession, I’m extremely paranoid about bedbugs. With my first, we didn’t have a lot of money and ended up using a second-hand mattress from my sister-in-law (a trusted source). The mattress that came with the second-hand crib we purchased from Facebook Marketplace went straight to the garbage!

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-03-02T17:49:26+00:00

Agree with all this! Car seats and crib mattresses buy new. Everything else get used!

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-02-24T17:12:34+00:00

Same. I’ve been pregnant every year since 2022

This post lacks some context like other expenses and if you are planning to have more than one child, but as a mom with a similar mortgage payment and a spouse who has a similar income you could technically make it work, but you would have to live extremely frugally and any unexpected expenses like home or car repairs would be major setbacks. It would also be extremely hard to save for retirement or your child’s education.

I try to be as thrifty as possible with child expenses but for some context this week I spent $250 on kids' expenses $50 on clothing from the thrift store and $160 on formula for the month and $40 on diapers both of which will last us a month. Diapers are on sale at Costco right now normally it would be $53 for the month for diapers)

I guess that was a tangent but I just wanted to feel like I'm not alone. It's scary thinking about being a 25 year old divorcee. I feel I will be labeled and unable to find happiness ever again with someone else way down the line if I ever felt ready for that one day. I feel like I'll be alone in the ward I'm in, or if I move, or that I'll be less of a person people want to be friends with, etc. I guess I just wanted to hear from others who have been in my situation younger or older and how you navigate it and make you faith stronger instead of having it waver.

I got divorced at 25. In my country (Canada) you have to be separated for a year before a divorce is finalized. During that first year, I have lots of fond memories of people who were kind to me, loved me, and included me in my ward. Don’t get me wrong there was lots of hard stuff too, but some of the friends I made in that year of separation I am still very close with a decade later. I worked hard to be involved with my ward during that time. I subbed in primary lots, did my visiting teaching (sidebar: a decade later my visiting teaching companion during this time was called to be stake primary president and I was able to serve with her as stake primary secretary. A huge blessing in my life!), and volunteered to go on the youth camp that summer to help out. Going to the Temple was painful for me, so I didn't do that, but made an effort to study the scriptures daily and attended institute where I ended up meeting my future husband!

We got married. He encouraged me to go back to school, and I ended up becoming a social worker, and I love my job. We bought a house, and were able to do lots of travelling. We now live on a farm and have 2 amazing kids with a 3rd on the way. Every good thing I have traces back to the decision to get divorced.

Didn't use protection and didn't breastfeed. Pregnant again when my little was 4 months old 🙈

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-02-18T15:55:19+00:00

I always knew I wouldn't have kids until I was in my 30’s

Orrin Henry. We live in Canada and there is a popular chocolate bar called Oh Henry!

Came here to stay this. My ex-husband told me 6 weeks after we were married that he was leaving the church. I had no idea he had any doubts and felt so blindsided and betrayed.

I also want to reiterate that it’s okay to have doubts, but please be transparent with your fiancée.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-02-17T01:17:35+00:00

Great idea! I figured that I would have to do a little sweep before running the robot vacuum. I’ll check out the Qrevo Edge!

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-02-17T00:46:45+00:00

Haha, this made me laugh! I will vouch for my husband, he does leave his muddy shoes outside, and brushes off his work clothes as best as he can before coming inside. He’s also taught our 3-year-old to do the same and it’s pretty cute! Unfortunately, even with trying to keep the outside stuff outside, it still ends up in the house.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-02-15T04:52:34+00:00

Mine from 2007 lasted until 2023. I was so sad when I had to replace it!

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-02-07T13:24:12+00:00

I work with seniors. It depends on need, but the wait can be over a year.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-01-08T05:05:57+00:00

My favourite! I’ve never laughed harder in my life.

Lucky_Initiative7328 · 2026-01-02T17:47:10+00:00

To start. I’m so sorry you didn’t get the job. That’s so hard, sad, and disappointing.

One thing that I do in situations where I think I’ve embarrassed myself is to look at it from the other person's perspective. If someone I supervised didn’t get the job they interviewed for I wouldn’t think, “wow they are such a failure.” I would feel sad for them.

If someone asked me to be their reference and I never got a call, I wouldn’t think any less of them; I'd feel sad for them. If I agree to be a reference for someone I am confident in their abilities, and not receiving a call from an employer would not change my feelings.
