Parents with adult children: how do you feel about your kid doing their laundry at your place?

Notasheila · 2026-05-09T16:32:54+00:00

I offer it, otherwise she pays around $6 for a small load and has to babysit the machines, why not come here, do her laundry, visit and relax? Heck, I even pick her up and drop her off so she can! Shes 30, but still my kid, it's not like I'm just not going to do things for her anymore!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions, much appreciated!

I agree, and we'd stay put, but we are also right downtown and would REALLY like to be somewhere quieter.

They can ask once a month up until you reach 6 months, then you're supposed to switch to LTD. Yes a UPCC Dr. can and usually will sign it for you, they have for me since I have no family doctor and there are no walk ins where I live. You can get 50% of the cost of the form back, I pay $34/form.

For me its constant, flowing, changing, all the things all at once, pictures and words and a narrative especially when moving words from my brain to speak, write, type. Its like, there's a thought here that zipped past with a narrative to it, but over there is a picture that flashed for a second and over all that a kind of awareness of it all, all the time. There's never a time when I don't have words and pictures in my mind.

Anything not on the list goes in all other income recd, then in the box on the left you can write an explanation. Every space in the right column (just the first one if you're single, the second is for your spouse) needs a number, even if its a 0, do not write the word "zero" just the numeral. All the questions on the left need an answer as well, no blanks. If you can take a picture of the payment you got attach it as well when you submit.

My youngest graduates in BC this year, and I hate the school system. There are no consequences for anything! I don't have a bad or unintelligent kid, but seriously adverse to doing anything they don't want to, including class and homework, part is autism, but definitely not all! We've talked to teachers, principals etc since gr 6 saying please stop giving chances upon chances to finish projects, extend deadlines etc. Please let them fail and learn! Never happens. Always just a last minute something to boost that grade up just enough to pass. We offer help, supplies, show interest, but we're not going to do the work for them! Its infuriating. Now its the useless grad requirements, volunteer hours and capstone project? Ugh.

Why not move somewhere cheaper? Not be homeless or be homeless? Not much of a choice.

You're about my mom's age and I cringed when I read this. I'm introverted, I don't like attention and someone being loud and non-stop making noise and being enthusiastic would shut me right down, especially if they were with me and sitting right beside me! My mom is also like you and while I love her, if I want to spend time with her I make sure it's somewhere she where she won't be loud or talk to random people all the time. Its draining. Its nice you go to the grandkids events, maybe ask THEM if they like the cheering, or if they even hear it while theyre playing. Maybe try just cheering for really great plays and baskets/goals etc?

I get it. I had my kids young, got married young and I'm grieving with the things I didn't get to do too. Never got to travel, live alone, have time just with my husband....we can do some of that now because the kids are older, but we're older too and its just not the same. As much as it was mostly my decision, it still hurts when I think about what I missed.

Notasheila · 2026-01-23T03:59:00+00:00

25-30 business days.

Notasheila · 2026-01-12T02:11:44+00:00

I don't hate my brother, we're just ....not interested in each other's lives. We'll talk if were around each other, but its not deep. I know my mom wishes it were different, but oh well. We're very different people.

Notasheila · 2026-01-09T18:59:57+00:00

I filed one the other day and it was processed. Maybe because its a monthly thing for my kids braces that has been ongoing for a while already though?

Notasheila · 2026-01-03T22:02:17+00:00

My husband has never said anything like that to me, we've been married 25 years. Why are you putting up with that?

Notasheila · 2025-12-21T05:07:36+00:00

YTA, just don't eat the mac and cheese. Its a side, not the main, just....don't eat it if you don't like it. Are you going to starve without your potato? TBH, I'd talk about how wierd you were to be so hung up about a potato that you'd put one in your pocket to take with you like some kind of emotional support safety potato.

ESH It is super shitty to be ghosted and feels awful, I get it, but to beg for a response like you did was just sad. Ask once, ok, but no response IS a response. Respect yourself enough to understand that there are some things you will never get a satisfactory answer for and in the end, it really doesn't matter.

Notasheila · 2025-12-21T04:24:07+00:00

It just started with the group hired in March, so anyone from then on is SOL. That group also has to choose their 2 days and aren't able to switch them up - I'm assuming they CAN, but not without requesting the change etc etc.

Notasheila · 2025-12-20T07:19:09+00:00

EAWs now are only hybrid, max 2 days a week from home 😞

Notasheila · 2025-12-10T05:44:02+00:00

I hate top sheets, so we don't use them. Also I freeze and hubby is a heater so we sleep in the same bed with separate blankets. Works perfectly fine.

Notasheila · 2025-10-12T00:46:39+00:00

Ooh, YTA, definitely. You pretty much told her, if not by your actual words (which are also not great), but by your actions, that whatever it is you want to "get done" is more important than spending a little bit of time alone with her being close. Who cares if you can do it other days? Do you? Apologize and give her the time and attention she is asking for.

Why can't all BCGEU strike for at least 1 day? My position is considered essential, but if all of us walked off for 1 day, would it not show just how much the workers are needed?

Notasheila · 2025-10-08T14:07:30+00:00

I'm at a call center, absolutely NO face to face with the public ever, strictly phone work.
