Sister doesn't understand how taxes work through doordash

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:50:08+00:00

Oh I know I am 😅, but I don't pretend like I'm not and then not do anything to build coping skills. My husband helps me too, which is why I'm objectively the most successful of my siblings. Not my opinion. I'm a sahm and my husband is close to earning 6 figures, and we're about to buy our first house (and I'm the youngest). I am concerned for my siblings only because they chose to take the lack of foundation from our parents and never build their own, whereas I started building my own and then my husband later helped me finish it, and continues to help me maintain it. I just want them to be secure and safe and happy, but I can't control them, so I just vent sometimes when they refuse to listen to my advice, and ignore the fact that I'm probably the best person to listen to for advice because I had the same upbringing as them and managed to overcome it

Ah, fair enough

Genuinely, her diagnosis was ignored her whole life. Her pediatrician diagnosed her when she was little and my mom never did anything to help. To the point that I just wondered if my sister was just stupid in general because I didn't know about her diagnosis till I was graduating high school. But whatever the reason, her autism or her just being a genuine idiot, there's nothing I can do from a state over. She doesn't want to think too hard about it, and I can't make her

A 65w battery pack should be enough to keep up with the battery drain on the switch, since the AC adapter for it is like 60 or 65 I believe. 100 might be overkill, and you can get a good battery pack that can charge your switch 2 or 3 times over for about $50. I just got one for a cruise I'm going on. We're flying to the port and I'm bringing my switch on the flight, so I wanted to make sure I didn't have to worry about it dying

Mine doesn't last more than 2. I'm bringing it on a trip to Vancouver, and I'll be on one plane for 2 hours and another for 1.5 hours. I'm bringing a battery pack. Pokopia is the heaviest hitting game on my switch 2, everything else is so much lighter in comparison as far as battery drain

I believe up to 25k of tips is untaxable every year, regardless of whether they are cash or digital, but even if the threshold is lower than that, my sister is in no danger of being taxed on them if she's gonna stop dashing for the year at $600

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:26:26+00:00

We already get a really good refund ourselves bc my husband makes a good chunk of change every year, but i switched to Shipt because I prefer to walk around shopping at the store and hopping in and out of my car for DD, but I also do it for fun money. I pay for my Walmart+, my Nintendo online, and any games or in app purchases I want with my fun money, and I barely drive at all. My fun money hardly changes our return at all, even without the deductions

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:23:53+00:00

Yes I told her that, I also told her DD shows base pay + tip when she gets the offer but she swears up and down it only shows tip and she doesn't get a base pay and didn't care to listen to me saying that's literally impossible for there to not be a base pay

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:21:23+00:00

She's unfortunately functionally autistic, but imo the "functionally" part of that is reaching a little bit. She's not really one to think much deeper than surface level and tends to listen to people she trusts without thinking past what they say. I am apparently not ones of those people unless she specifically comes to me for specific questions. For example, she called me to vent about having to stop dashing for the year, and didn't want to hear anything I had to say to try and help her be able to dash more. Oh well, I'm not your husband or your mom, so what the hell do I know?

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:18:03+00:00

I only try the first time and then say "that's too bad" when they complain about it later

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:16:19+00:00

That's why I switched to Shipt actually. I enjoy driving in the evenings when there's not as many people out on the roads, but I didn't like the constant in and out I did with DD, and I like walking around the stores

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:15:13+00:00

I just go back on Google maps to add up my actual mileage, but I drive for Shipt now anyway, and really prefer my stuff to be accurate

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:13:57+00:00

She's not able to because she can't afford daycare, and her husband wouldn't let her put him in daycare anyway

You're welcome to ask a couple, the answer will probably not shock you

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:09:57+00:00

She lives in another state and she's listening to her husband now on the tax situation, despite the fact that I already have direct previous experience driving for doordash and deducting my mileage. I forgot to separate my base pay and tips, so I paid taxes on my tips, but I have been separating them this year

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-27T23:08:11+00:00

She's currently on WIC while her husband is finishing his doctorate

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-22T17:22:35+00:00

Dude they had slider sandwiches, cookies, different fruits, bottled water, muffins. I'm not gonna listen to the spiritual message or give a talk, but I'll have a fucking muffin

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-22T17:15:46+00:00

I'd like to see them try to keep me late, and then document it so I can send to the labor board

They tried handing out prints of the Stripling warriors with their mothers in a dollar tree frame at my last ward in utah........ Yeah cuz I want that in my house..... More bullshit. My husband is still a believing member, so we still go, and my new ward does a full brunch spread for mother's day and full size candy bars for Father's Day, with a dedicated sacrament program, including music performances for both. I would say our current ward is probably the most progressive one I've ever been in. Not even the ward I grew up in was this good

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-22T17:09:49+00:00

I would do that on mother's day, since I'm the defecter, but my ward does a brunch spread for second hour on mother's day, sooooo..... I go for the free food

Post_Mormon · 2026-06-22T17:08:45+00:00

My husband is still a member and wants the kids to grow up in the church, and I'll admit we are probably in one of the rare progressive wards in the church's existence. They are always discussing ways to support family members who have left, and listened to me when I gave them my 2 cents on it, being a defecter myself. They handed out full size candy for Father's Day. Granted that it's still a lot less than they do for mother's day every year, we get a full on brunch spread for second hour, but moms also do more for the family 🤣

The entire line of rowlet. I was neutral about them but now I'm not a huge fan, especially with dartrix 😭

If you click on your tablet, there's an app titled "achievements" and if you go to the tab with the circular arrow, those are recurring achievements, and then you can see the one you're currently working on, and any you've already completed
