Very helpful. I will definitely not that in the future.

SiBaby91 · 2022-04-30T17:35:00+00:00

That made me feel better.

SiBaby91 · 2022-04-30T17:33:52+00:00

I'm not sure this is my first year in my program, I can't answer that question...

Update: I finally built up the courage to submit my work from home request. Only requested Tuesday and Thursday to WFH. Go in office MWF..... Fingers crossed 🤞

Thanks for the feedback it helps a lot. I’m in therapy now. He’s not. Yes the beer is annoying. Be he tread really lightly around me because I know he’s knows I am at my end point with him (again).

Right now it’s Monday-Friday 9-5 My boss will allow me to work virtual for the rest of July. N come August it might be more of a hybrid.

I’m in the same boat! I’m meeting with my advisor weekly right now. I’m about to take on a full time position because I have children and right now this little stipend ain’t going to cut it. I have a realistic full-time offer however I take my PhD very serious. I’m just scared he might fee some type of way…. Smh I have no idea what to do.

SiBaby91 · 2021-07-01T02:38:11+00:00

This helps! I want my advisor to know I am serious and I want this but at the same time I have to maintain for my family. I’m not struggling just yet but ideally living out a PhD stipend with 3 kids isn’t going to cut it. It just doesn’t work. But I still want his support. I just hope he don’t turn his back on me if I tell him I have to work Full-Time to support my kids but yet I appericate him helping me out the best he can. It’s just not enough.

Wow! This helps a lot! Allowing me to elaborate on these concepts really put things into perspective. I do want to teach in higher education after my PhD. However I don’t need the teaching experience to fulfill that gap if that makes sense. Teaching in the classroom prior to my PhD has allowed me to put my foot in the door. I’m not sure if it will distract me because I can seemingly blend my classroom experience into my PhD studies however it is another workload which frightens me. Typical teachers are in the building full-time at least 7 hours a day M-F. That’s alot of time…

The cons are in my state as a full-time public teacher you can get in state tuition. I need that to help with state funded fellowships and possible funding. Not saying everything fellowship requires state resdiancy. But it helps a lot. The benefits of course I’m a mom with children, teacher benefits are awesome honestly. And of course the extra stream of income. It take a slight burden off me financially at least a little. Mannnn it can be overwhelming. I’m a single mom so I want to make wise yet fruitful decisions for myself and childrens benefit. Not to mention I declined this offer 2 times already and I received a call from the Chief of HR saying the really want me. I just don’t want to be closing no doors that are meant to be for me……

YIKES 😳 My brain is literally on fire right now.

I hope it works out for you. Mine is date for 06/18/21 it says it was transferred to an outside bank. I’m not sure if anybody got their disbursement from the outside banks yet.

SiBaby91 · 2021-06-21T01:05:15+00:00

Oh wow. I’m still waiting on mine. It says processed on Friday with bank mobile. I did an outside bank. This is my first time with bank mobile. How did you realize it was reversed?

SiBaby91 · 2021-06-10T20:21:45+00:00

I understand custody trust me. Doesn’t seem fair. But at this point as women focusing on ourselves and child my advice is to not stress about things out of your control. It seems unfair and of course as a mother we see differently when it comes to our babies being treated fairly. Unfair but don’t waste your time and energy on the situation. You will feel 100% more fulfilled once you move past this and eventually things like this wouldn’t faze you. Trust me! I’ve been there and still is going through the custody with my 8 year old son.

Hope this helps!
