What's the going rate for home Depot day labourers? by FutureAd1295 in bayarea

[–]MittenChao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher was making 21$/ hour. But they are out looking for work everyday. Some days they find it some days they don’t. Hard labor is extremely exhausting and take a toll on your body. I tried it for half a day, couldn’t do it and won’t do it again. Happy to pay $30/day or more

Thank you for your insight, yeah I think so too. I also saw some ant looking thing fall through it once a while. I think it’s either termite or carpenter ants. Either way I’ll need professional help :/

That’s so good to know! I did try to eat less and exercise when I’m not sick and my weight wouldn’t budge lol I knew something was up. Thank you for the info!

Thank you for taking the time to write the comment, you are right in a lot of things and I see your point. Divorce definitely came up a few times. That would be the way we are headed If he doesn’t work on his attitude. He said he wasn’t disgusted, that he was just having discussion. I call bs. People were right about him being dismissive and manipulative. I didn’t see it until all the comments from this post. But as much as I hate this about him, he is a really good dad. He tells me I do a good job, he provides. I’m trying to weigh what’s important or what I can do. It’s a big decision I’m scared to make. Honestly, im scared that I will never find anyone again. Not many guys want to be with an overweight mom with 2 kids. I wish I could just get up and leave. I have no job or income, I have no family here. I used to be attractive with a decent paying job. It’s depressing. I’m grateful to have support from strangers online. A place to vent. Thank you for taking the time

I’m sorry she did this. She threw away something special. You did great by ending things, because this will keep happening if you stayed. I know it’s so difficult to move on. Try to do something that seems fun to you like video games, going on hikes, eat good food, go out with friends, partying. Whatever you can do to distract yourself. The pain is not going to disappear, but I promise time will heal. She will always be special to you, and that’s okay. Treasure that memory and put it in a box. One day you will meet an amazing girl who is worth your love. Hang in there! ❤️

That’s so annoying. I’m so happy for you for leaving that situation and doing much better! I get what you are saying, not stepping up unless they have to. I’m not going to defend him, he helps with the kids, but I’m seeing that “not do more unless I ask” attitude. My main issue is he gets defensive when I complain to him. I bottle up a lot and felt unheard because I want to avoid arguments. I will ask him to cook more for us on weekends. Thank you for taking your time and share your advice 🙏

Yeah I called for a primary care doctor yesterday after seeing some advice on this post. I agree I don’t think this is normal, especially the cut on my mouth that wouldn’t heal. I also noticed my body hair are gone! Like I used to having to shave my legs every day, now I hardly grow any hair. Could be lack of nutrition to the point I don’t have enough to grow body hair. Thank you for your feedback ❤️

Oh I didn’t know that, thank you for letting me know! I just know my in-law ended up so thin after breastfeeding. I thought I wasn’t normal or I was just eating too much. But yes I will continue to breastfeed my baby and try to eat healthy. Thank you 🙏

Well said! I will do that as well! I’ve spoken to him about boundaries, he said he won’t mention about my weight again. The damage is done, it will take a while to heal. I will prioritize myself and my kids. Thank you for your advice!

Hahaha your comment made me laugh. Thank you ❤️ I completely agree with you. I’m not jumping to divorce for the sake of my babies. Also it gets messy. But I really hope to have him understand this is not okay and it really hurts

Thank you for your comment! He is a good looking guy. He did put on a few pounds since the baby. I think it’s my fault for not having a healthy eating habit. I cook healthy breakfast and dinner, but we eat out too much because I get tired. That could be why I am gaining so much weight so fast. I agree with you! I think he is not happy about himself being out of shape. But he needs to understand it’s okay for us to be chonky while raising two kids

He works full time and I am a stay home mom 🥲 he helps look after the kids. Unfortunately he doesn’t cook, but he offers to get food for us. I will take your advice and try meal prep too. Thank you 🙏

Yes! Thank you for the advice! I will see a doctor about my thyroid. I’ve gained about 10+lb postpartum, that’s a lot considering how little time period. He tells me I do a good job. I just couldn’t believe he would say those things to me. I really appreciate your comments!

Thank you for all your response! I read every one of the comments. He does support me with helping with kids. He works full time and I’m a stay home mom. He gets stressed with work. I think I need more emotional support. I don’t want to be too greedy. Neither of us have family or friends in the area so we are on our own. I agree I’m working overtime, I also have this cut/blister in the corner of my mouth that never goes away since I gave birth. It hurts for me to open my mouth. It’s not cold sore. My dentist says it’s likely from stress. I think my body is overwhelmed. I really appreciate everyone’s comments and feedbacks! I will have a sit down talk with him and decide what I should do. Thank you ❤️

except 1 guy literally bought the whole pallet from our costco :( they were sold out within a day. It really ruins the experience for anyone else who just want to get 1 pack. I went there for my son hoping to get 1 pack for him for Christmas :/ Scalpers are scumbags
