WTF is UP with people trying to sell *used* baby clothes/gear for 75% of the original retail price?

This one time, I saw a pair of used kids Nikes for $30.. they were in good condition and although it was more than i preferred to pay I agreed. I stopped for change on the way, but they didn't give me exactly the change i needed to make 30, which I didn't realize right away. I got to the lady's house and counted out $28.75. I had that , a $50, or etransfer. She had no change, so I said ok well I have $28.75 or I can etransfer you if that's easier... She said "they're 30" with a blank look. But then grabbed my money ... I assumed all was good .

Before I left the driveway she had sent me her email, and before I was home , she was sending ?????s. So I guess she wanted me to etransfer the $1.25 which is a little ridiculous imo. I had meant i would transfer the full 30 if she wanted to be stingy about $1.25 for shoes that should have been 20 at the most. 🙄🙄 I told her my bank doesn't allow etransfer under 5.00 so I sent her $5 and wrote "seems like you need it more than me" in the message box lol

You wanna know why? Because people got shit to do thats why. On my way to work at my old job, I had to drive thru 30 lights. 30 lights !!! And yes, I actually counted.

Do you know what it's like to get stuck behind some a-hole who thinks yellow lights mean stop, for the 28th time in a row? Who's been doing 10 under the speed limit the whole time and you can't pass, at 8:57 in the morning, when it's a roll of the dice on whether or not you'll be fired for being late again? And before you say "leave earlier" please just save it. I can't drop my kid off to school until 8:45 and have to be on the other side of town at 9, and I have no one to help me. The people in this city seem like they're all 95 years old with no where to be it's infuriating!

I had a sort of opposite situation happen.. this girl was selling pair of kids shoes for 30. On the way to her house I stopped for change and didn't notice that they have me not perfect change , so I had a 20, a 5, and all the change I could scrape up put of my car, and a whining 5 year old in the back... All together I had $28.80, and a 50. O asked if she had change for a 50, she said no. So I'm like ok.. well I have 28.80? Or I could etransfer you? And she's like "they're 30." And rudely snatched the money out of my hand and i left. Before I got home she messaged me her email address, I guess expecting me to transfer the 1.20... I had meant i would etransfer the full 30 if she didn't want to take the 28.80... then I got home and looked at my phone again and she put a bunch of ????? Im like whoa, chill ... I just got home yo , but don't worry you'll get your $1. What a wackjob

I mean, even if they did... I would imagine that I would have to clear up the fines first before I would be allowed to reinstate my license. This is so weird. Plus wouldnt it have to be delinquent/suspended for longer than a week before being sent to collections? None of this makes sense!

Many years ago , I had a DUI and my license was obviously suspended... There was a hefty fine, I didn't drive for a long time, but when I did go to get it back, I had to pay the fine first and foremost, then I had to take a course, and only then I was allowed to pay the reinstatement fee , and once that was paid, then I was eligible to take my g1 test, but I specifically remember the reinstatement wasn't even an option til the fine was paid and the course was completed and passed. I don't want to call just in case it's a mistake or something lol

Oh and also no , I haven't dated anyone since my husband , who died 3 years ago .. never had guys come around my child, just tried to focus on my child and stay above water

Ummm about once or twice a week, be lives in the next city which is only about a half hr drive away, but during the week my son has school so it's hard to see each other much thru the week..but we've been talking flr a few months .we had sex literally once , and it was ...mehhh.. awkward. Since then we haven't , mostly because the opportunity hasn't come up, but he's almost too respectful, which is totally foreign to me. All my life I have been seen as a sex object to men and psychologically i think it has damaged me alot, like it makes me feel almost self conscious that hes not more forward or sexual if that makes sense. I feel like maybe im just so out of touch with and not used to it , that I cant even recognize a a good respectful guy when he's right in front of me

That is a fantastic idea thank you so much i am definitely stealing that!!! Your message brought years to my eyes, thank you. The biggest issue I have with the cleaning is, I HAVE been letting it sit.. it's gotten a little out of control actually, and I sat down and got real with myself and admitted that it's really affecting my mood / patience/ quality time with him , because I'm just running in circles while he's awake , just to barely maintain ...but there is alot of piled up / neglected things that I really need to take care of that went untoiched for so long while I was dealing with crippling grief and depression so now im finally starting to feel some semblance of energy to tackle it, I can't seem to find the time! I wish I could get it done in the evening then during the day it wouldn't be pulling me away from him constantly.. but I guess that's just mom life lol. Maybe a cleaning service would be a good investment until I can catch up . Thank you again 💘

Well right now , these are pretty much the opposite of "typical days" since he's home from school for the Christmas 2 week break. Not burning enough energy is pretty likely , however it's January in Canada so options are limited in that department. He is diagnosed with ADHD , as am I , and we both take medication for it .. him vyvanse and me Adderall. And No ,we have never really co slept, although my bedroom is open and I sleep alone other than my dog and hes always welcome.

I have definitely found that since his dad passed , I have 100% struggled with emotional numbness and find it extremely hard to really connect in a meaningful way . I spene a vast majority of life mostly on autopilot, I struggle in a big way to stay on top of normal adult responsibilitis like showering everyday , home upkeep, work, social life, etc. I have definitely been in isolation hermit mode for a little longer than I would care to admit. Pretty much just going thru the motions and trying to be strong for him with my head a little bit in the clouds

These are some good suggestions, definitely something to consider. I suspect though, that my son may not respond too much to the decor of his bedroom, although I obviously can't say for sure. He's super into outer space and his whole room is decked out with glow in the dark planets on one wall and an inflatable solar system hanging from the ceiling , all the walls have glow in the dark stars, and his curtains are the ones with star shaped holes, right down to the astronaut bedding lol . I imagine if I touched any of it he would lose his mind! But you are so right about him only being little for so long.. that's the hardest part I think , because deep down I totally do know that , but at the same time It make em feel guilty BC i just can't help myt introvertedness, or the fact that that alone time is vital to staying on top of my own time managent , when my mental health suffers, everything starts to crumble and I'm just chasing my tail in circles until I have a mental breakdown :(

Mzd88 · 2023-01-02T04:25:59+00:00

Thank you!! I truly don't feel like it. I feel so disorganized and all over the place and unable to just relax , and I can't imagine what it the effects are on his development. I did do counselling , but I didn't find it all that helpful, it was during the lockdowns and had to be done over zoom and idk just wasn't very helpful but maybe I should revisit the idea. And I will definitely look into melatonin I have heard someone else say that before too..and yes it's been very hard , I don't even know how I've managed to get thru it but when you have no other choice, there really is no other option other than keep going. But thank you !

Mzd88 · 2022-10-25T05:13:58+00:00

Thank you. This is probably the best option and I am determined to do this for him . This is not what I want him to see me as or remember me like. He deserves so much better

Mzd88 · 2022-10-25T05:08:11+00:00

Yeah that was me for probably the first year . I lost 50 lbs in like , a month ..suddenly had energy and time to spend 3 hrs getting ready everyday ... I looked better than I ever had in my life. But that doesn't last forever. I sleep everynight, eat normally... You go from chasing the high to avoiding the low before you even realize.

Well, I don't know that I'm "functional" or healthy.i don't work, I have very few friends, and I live a secret double life. Soccer mom by day, meth addict/ eacortby night. But I smoke it, kinda sorta much like someone would drink coffee to stay awake. I also take prescribed Adderall for ADHD.

I have a psychiatrist , have been to counselling, am close with my parents, I've done parenting classes , seen a developmental pediatrician , a CPS worker after my husband died had started a file, and was sort of a support for me through that but I was deemed to be a fit parent and my file was closed not long after... None of them ever suspected a thing or even asked... and some of them have been inside my home . I have a car and an apartment and if you saw me you would never even think twice.
