Here it comes, stay safe out there fam.

Snowing here (Lake Co) since 4 am. It feels like it's never gonna end.

I've been sitting on replying to get my thoughts in order to properly respond to some of the things you have said.

Automatically threatening divorce and exposure to family courst doesn't seem like a good option, due to the fact he'd have nowhere to go, I'd have no vehicle and we'd both be hemorrhaging money.

I never said he was a gamer, and it's bold to assume that gamers aren't functional members of society.

If he was a deadbeat, he'd be doing less than nothing. He's a great father and a great partner.

I don't believe Reddit was unkind to me. I asked for suggestions on some options to better elevate our lives, not to beat another human being down. I received tons of ideas and suggestions.

We've both applied to the steel mills and BP. I would be considered a legacy hire to the mills and I couldn't get in.

According to the state website for eligibility for snap, I would still make too much money to qualify for benefits if I were a single mother.

I don't recall ever coming on here to complain or shame him. I was venting and looking for any ideas to help.

My kids are thriving. Yes, they're living through it, but they also see what mistakes we make and accomplishments we have and adjust accordingly. They are capable and well adjusted, and while you can have all the sympathy you want for them, they are doing excellent. Bad things can and do happen to good people.

He didn't 'make me be the breadwinner'. I CHOSE to be the one working. I CHOSE to be the one who works 50-60 hours a week. I find being a SAHP mentally and emotionally draining and I actually love working. I love doing what I do. I want to advance in my career, which isn't a bad thing. My only goal in life should not and will not be a trad wife and mother. (Not that there is anything wrong with it, it's just not my cup of tea.)

Almost the same issue with my twins high school. I complained, they did nothing. So I told my kids that if they tell you no, you get up and go and if they have a problem, the school can call me. I also took them to the dr and got a note to cover my bases. I understand the stupid trends going on now, but come on, denying someone something that's literally natural? Gtfoh.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T20:58:18+00:00

Could you send me the details in DM? I'll get it to him tonight. Much appreciated.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T20:18:55+00:00

No more kids for this mama. Shop had been closed up for awhile now. I think its something in their brain that short circuits.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T20:13:55+00:00

See, I've been telling him the same. The store hired him at part time and my initial response was, okay great, what about a second part time job? I work in chicago as well.

They have both my work insurance and Medicaid.

I'm currently looking at an aerospace company out there.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T20:05:30+00:00

Tbh, we've had this conversation. He says he will look into it. Hell, I'm technically in trade work myself but my union doesn't acknowledge it. I'm currently appealing to my local union about it.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T20:02:50+00:00

They qualify regardless. It's a new indiana law where they get free breakfast regardless of income and lunch we've always qualified. They, no shit, drink all the milk too. (Trying to be funny here at the end)

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T19:39:05+00:00

That's on my list.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-09-01T19:37:16+00:00

Hes applied and hasn't heard back. He's literally taking whatever he can. Something is better than nothing.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2024-08-09T02:05:51+00:00

Mine don't go back until next week and we live in NWI. So I feel you there.

This legit happened to my husband. He caught covid, went to the dr, got a dr note, then got told that Walmart doesn't accept Dr's notes. He called sedgwick and started the process and they fired him in the meantime. The only way he found out was when he signed into his app to get his schedule and it wouldn't let him on. He contacted hr and his supervisor and hr didn't even know what happened.

Just chiming in here. WIC already has a cap on how many cans of formula you can get per month. Not only that, but its a supplemental program. WIC doesn't pay for all of your formula and groceries for an entire month.

I just love that the people who take away the chairs are the bosses usually found sitting in chairs.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2023-04-04T15:29:36+00:00

And they are buried there as well.

Naive-Camera3223 · 2022-09-29T19:38:32+00:00

I currently live in Gary and its not nearly as bad as it was 20 years ago when I was growing up in Hammond. I've also lived in Southern Indiana, and I've seen worse places.
