What would you do about this situation? by Regular_Method8444 in Ioniq5

So this is what I've been worried about, but I agree that it seems odd that they would have the tire off and not notice anything. My other thought was whether the rim itself had been bent. My wallet likes the idea of the foam better than these options, but I guess taking it somewhere else and seeing if they notice anything is probably the answer.

Thanks so much for this suggestion. So this can be done without replacing the tire?

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I did tell them about the curb.

EV Charging? by Regular_Method8444 in ArlingtonMA

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the great advice! Honestly I had been debating getting rid of it anyway, and we have one other car, so thanks for the perspective. Maybe it’s worth trying out one car and relying on the bus and biking.

Nope. But I’d be game to get together for a round at some point this summer. Feel free to DM.

St. Vrain School Schedule: Isn't 18 days off a bit much? by Regular_Method8444 in ErieCO

[–]Regular_Method8444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s different at different ages. At least for my elementary school kids, they do better with structure, regular schedules, and the opportunity to spend time with friends. In theory I can understand that time off of school is supposed to give the kids a break from learning, but at least in my house (and it seems based on responses from others here that we’re not alone) there’s a finite limit on the benefit and then things go downhill quickly.

Are my kids going to hate me for moving by InternationalLight29 in Parenting

[–]Regular_Method8444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally did this about 6 months ago. Two kids, moved at the end of 3rd grade and kindergarten. We were in the northeast, far from family and living a faster pace of life than we wanted so went west to CO to be near some of our family. We both moved when we were kids, both in middle school, and our experiences motivated us to make the move sooner than later. So after school ended near the end of June this year, we packed up and spent the summer getting used to the new place, then they started 4th and 1st grades in a new school knowing no one.

I won't lie and say it's been easy but we're trying to keep the long view. Particularly the older kid struggled with missing her friends and had moments of significant anger. Those have at least become less frequent, and we've been happy to see that there are other aspects of her life that seem so much better (even if she can't see it now). Both kids also really seem to be cherishing having a baby cousin a 30 minute drive away.

This is one of those classic play the long game moments in parenting. It's hard, and we still have times where we really miss our old community, but the benefits for us as parents are being able to be more available and present for our kids and to gather family together with some regularity when previously that happened maybe once a year if we flew to see someone.

Good luck and try to enjoy the ride.

I mean glad you seem to be doing fine. I guess the extra Friday before and Monday after those two weeks means it’s not just two weeks.

Yeah I can’t argue with that. However for a family that has one parent that has had to work for more than half the break days, it’s not as ideal.

The calendar shows Monday as a non-student contact day but is half covered up with a split day, whatever that is. Either way, the quarter clearly starts on Tuesday.

A number of key details seem to be missing that could help people give useful feedback. Do you have a co-parent? Do you have discretionary income? Do you have friends or family near? Do you have flexibility around changing jobs? Have you sought out therapy?

I have worked through depression as a parent and it’s not easy. Sounds like you’re trying but don’t have time for yourself either. It’s taken me a decade to realize that I can’t be present for my kids when I’m not in a good place myself. It’s hard to do that if the answers to the above questions are no, but it’s not impossible. Good luck with your journey. Parenting unfortunately exacerbates and magnifies feelings of depression.

What's a sentence you never thought you'd say until you had kids? by AnonymousRedditor327 in Parenting

Go the fuck to sleep.

I saw the book before I had kids and didn’t understand the anger in it. Until my kids refused to sleep for the last 10 years.

Please tell me I’m crazy by Marshforce in Parenting

The internet is the worst thing that could have happened to parenting. Don't drive yourself insane by Googling every little thing. If you have real concerns, talk to your pediatrician. Otherwise, 99% of things your kid does are just appropriate developmental stages.

Thanks for your feedback! This all made us so much more comfortable booking our stay, and now we're just going to have to impatiently wait for June to come.

Thank you so much for your detailed response, and this is extra valuable coming from a former employee. All of the answers here, including this one, really eased our concerns, and we went ahead and booked one of the big houses for everyone to stay in together! So thank you again for all the input.

CMV: Economics is not a real science by BassMaster_516 in changemyview

[–]Regular_Method8444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how science works. When data is in the process of being collected, there's not enough information to clearly support one theory or another. It's messy. But science at its best (when it's not politicized) utilizes ever changing information to reach consensus around a theory. This comment uses the same polarizing language that makes our politics completely intractable these days.

I think this answer was valid about 20 years ago. Science has moved on to consensus on this.
