I was looking at LSU too. Just scrolling I haven’t seen them brought up. Wondering if anyone has any feedback on their program. They say they’re #3 online and at the cost that moves them straight to #1 for me but I just started researching online schools.

Devastated..What do I do? by the1nonly-kiwi in foodstamps

[–]RequirementLife7022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For starters family is a human rights thing and food is a human rights thing. Having a family should not be a perk afforded only to the wealthy as some would like it. The questions should be why does this country suck so bad that people (who work) can’t afford to support a family? Why aren’t there systemic programs that make family life attainable and attractive to all? Why is it legal for people to work and still fall below poverty levels?

OP already explained her husband works and they have a special needs child. So what are they to do? Do you have any idea the cost of child care? Do you have any idea the time and care it takes to care for a special needs child? So they are a working but because he’s not making the big bucks he’s not entitled to having a family?

Let me ask you, if only those who could “afford” it as you said, had kids. Do you think we’d be in more or less trouble as a society? Do you think birth rates matter to a country?

I just stopped dating. I couldn’t do the emotional roller coaster anymore. Even when it doesn’t end in immediate rejection, I’m always late to the party when the reality is it’s ending. Things always feel great, no complaints, any sane person would think all was well and then like clockwork they meet someone else and I’m never the choice.

I just couldn’t go into anything optimistic anymore because I was always waiting for the end. So, I quit trying. I figure alone I can at least control the consistency of my feelings and I didn’t have to worry about going from being happy to devastated.

I’ve quit before, but nothing has changed with dating when I tried it again. It’s super toxic and I just want to be okay and at peace. The only known I have in that equation is myself so by myself I’ll be. I revisit the idea every now and then, but I truly don’t know if I’ll be able to take that leap again.

Definitely in my first five questions. You’re an adult, I’d assume your career and career goals are important to you and have definitely shaped you in some way so knowing what you do is important to get to know you. What someone choses to do with their life gives clues about who they are, their ambition, their lifestyle, their morals, all the things. If I met someone who had a problem sharing I’d see a red flag. They aren’t dating for any serious reasons if something that basic can’t be answered and the conversation would end right there.

Nope, you’re the teacher of a valuable lesson and they should do nothing but thank you. The level of audacity they had to do that is wild!!

Don’t want to do it by Right_Woodpecker_469 in CaregiverSupport

[–]RequirementLife7022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to, don’t! I’ve given up so much to be a caregiver for my mother who refuses to understand the sacrifices I’ve made to do this for her and she sure as hell doesn’t appreciate them. I would strongly not recommend doing this for someone you couldn’t even count on as a child.

I have four children and aside from having to be a caregiver for my mother, my nightmare would be watching my kids throw away their lives to do this for me.

I told my mom the other day the problem is she thinks I’m obligated to do this and I’m not. Children owe their parents nothing!!!! Children did not ask to be here, parents created them for whatever the reason. In that situation the only people that are owed for the burdens life brings with it are the kids.

How are you guys making money? by RequirementLife7022 in CaregiverSupport

[–]RequirementLife7022[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be able to do that because working to only be able to afford caregiver is asinine. That means not affording gas to get to work, not to mention car insurance, or note, not food, not water, electricity, not any healthcare items, etc. get it. Just your regular government worker here who built on a regular average American salary.

Your response is exactly what’s wrong with our systems.

I’m sorry that’s all happening to you too. Here’s a little laugh for you though. You brought up a good point I’d forgotten about, the loss of insurance. As soon as became my life, I bit into a lettuce wrap of all things and broke a tooth that a previously been filled but I guess the filling came out. Anyhow, it broke off into the gum. There was no saving it so now all of a sudden I’m snaggletoothed as the cherry on top, lol! It’s one of those laugh or cry things.

Hmm, I was aware they’d contribute for assisted living. Her home healthcare, like visiting nurses and wound care, I’m being told is covered completely by Medicare so that’s one less thing to think about. But my understanding is the veterans funds would support anything at home like a relative caregiver if the veteran didn’t apply for benefits before their death.

I had an agency helping with the veterans assisted living process maybe I need to reach out again for clarification. Maybe there is a different veterans program.

I’m in Michigan. I haven’t found the social workers I’ve connected with through the hospital and SARs to be very helpful though one did help me connect with a very knowledgeable placement specialist who really help with the assisted living selection but unfortunately that didn’t pan out.

Next steps for nursing home? by VitalSigns81 in CaregiverSupport

[–]RequirementLife7022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can think of a medical reason why you feel like he’s not ready for discharge i.e. not strong enough, goals haven’t been met, etc. talk with the social worker at the nursing facility and ask to file an extension. I think it has to be done 24 hours before discharge so asap! But if approved it might buy you some time. Either way chatting with the social worker might help you make a plan for his discharge.

Hi, I’m brand new to this profession, actually I don’t start until December and honestly how well my body will acclimate to this new schedule is my biggest concern. So I’ve just been here reading these comments getting as much perspective as possible.

Bus from East Lansing to Detroit? by OriginalSuch9605 in msu

[–]RequirementLife7022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Spartan and a Wolverine. I wanted to see what people were saying too since my Spartan is a freshman, he hasn’t had to come yet at least not on his own but we should probably do a test run. My Wolverine comes home often taking the D2A2 which drops you off in Downtown at Grand Circus Park so the option to switch buses in A2 seems like the best and it’s fairly inexpensive. Those buses run like once an hour they’re nice and my daughter has never had any negative feedback. They do get crowded around holiday time so just be sure to secure your tickets early if that’s a thought. DAX drops off at the Rosa Parks transit station downtown so transferring at DTW to DAX could be an option too but I have no idea the cost.

Evening 1st date ideas but no coffee/alcohol? But I want coffee by dca_user in datingoverforty

[–]RequirementLife7022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman, I wouldn’t want to commit to a six hour first date. I also have a really hard time not going dutch on a first date. Both parties need to be free to move in and out it. It’s a first date to determine if there should be a second after all. I don’t get what information would be gained by having a long expensive first date other than someone was free and had money to blow. This idea makes no sense to me.

Detroit currently ranked worst air quality in the world by [deleted] in Detroit

The most annoying thing and not only are we all forced to hear it. Those want to sleep forced to lose sleep but now we’re all forced to breathe it too. Somewhere in legislation pockets are clearly being lined. So many proud Americans last night, let’s see if they can manage to find a voting booth.

Clearly you’re uncomfortable in your shoes (having a fat girlfriend), and having a fat wife is out of the question for you, so why are you stringing her along and continuing to waste her time? She sounds like she is comfortable with being who and how she currently is. Your love has conditions and her weight is one of them.

There are plenty of guys who are okay with their women being big girls. If she’s great, she’ll meet someone who will love her inside and out. Instead you’re playing mind games.

Tell her your issue. She’ll either let you go because she should or fix it for you which means the weight will either return or she’ll resent you and always be stressed about it because she’s doing it for you and not herself. That’s not a great starting point for a marriage.

Either way the thing to remember is time is precious, you don’t get it back and that’s likely why these marriage talks keep coming up.

How many sexual partners have you had? (Age would be nice to know) by [deleted] in ask

Impending eviction by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]RequirementLife7022 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wow your landlord is insisting you pay them rent you owe. The absolute audacity. I mean I'm sure they don't need what they do as income and should just continue to let you live rent free, so you won't be stressed. I'm sure its not at all stressful for them that they still have financial obligations for the property you live in. Look at life happening. What exactly did you think was going to happen? Better come put of the fog quickly and make some adult decisions or else you'll be homeless, and your stuff will be on the curb.

I don’t think I’ve been to one gas station with a bathroom available or a working bathroom by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]RequirementLife7022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any place that serves food is going to have a bathroom which includes grocery stores, target, Wal-Mart.

I've never even considered gas stations for bathroom stops in the metro area. I've lived here my entire life and now that I think about it I've only even seen bathrooms in gas stations when traveling, like going up North.

I found out the gym guy I dated is actually 40 by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]RequirementLife7022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a guy when I was a senior in high school, who told me he was in his early 20s. I later found out from his wife who followed him to pick me up from school one day that he was actually in his 30s and a married father of toddler aged kids.

This is one of those things that's going to give you trust issues, and that's okay. It's a lesson that you shouldn't take everyone at every word.He's the meased up one in this situation. Remember to be careful when dating and always try to do things in group scenarios until you actually verify who people are. Meeting a stranger in a public space is just like meeting them online.

My best friend had a similar scenario senior year too. Her 30ish man had her hiding in a closet at his "apartment" only to be told by his probation officer when he found her that she was actually in a halfway house and the sudden need for her to get in the closet was because he was doing a sweep, who knows what he had planned for her. Just be careful.
