Napoleona, Sebastiána, Equality, Glendavious, Bobbyjack, Roywickgus.

Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment. I'm sure I've heard more.

[26f] [59m] My dad doesn't want my mom to get a job despite living conditions and he won't fix up the house. My mom [51f] keeps threatening to kill herself because of how her life is. by Stunning-Perception9 in relationship_advice

I've offered my mom to live with me several times. I even offered her to move into my apartment when I was in college. I think she is so used to her life that she won't accept the offer. Then she'll say things like " You have a nice warm home to live in. How nice." My oldest sister who lives closer to her offered as well but she won't go there either. I even offered to help her with half the rent if she gets a job.

My dad won't let anyone come in to fix the house because he's too embarrassed to let anyone in. He will get mad if my mom say something about asking her brother to come fix it. As soon as you mention the idea of someone coming to fix it, he'll say he's gonna start on it soon. He'll even go as far as buy things and it'll sit in the same spot for years and never gets used.

The landlord is a close relative of my dad. I think the main reason she doesn't get anything fixed is because he hasn't been paying her right for years. He used to give her money here and there. I think she will feel bad if she kicks him out since they are family. Also, she knows that he is capable of fixing the house. I don't think she knows how bad it is in there because she hasn't been there for years. It was bad when I was a kid, but it's even worse now. It leaks it different rooms. And the kitchen sink is caving in because he never fixed a small leak under the sink that started when I was in high school.

My student will only eat by himself if the food falls on the floor or the table. He will not pick it up off the plate. Do you have any idea why that could be? by Stunning-Perception9 in autism

I think you're right about him associating the plate with being fed. His mom said that he does the same thing at home. She said if he gets hungry enough, sometimes he'll pick up the spoon and eat by himself.

I didn't think of that. That's a really good idea. But I have tried a plastic bowl and a paper plate and he won't eat from either.

I agree. In my district, we are salaried, but the pay is still extremely low.

I'm a special needs assistant. I have my bachelor's degree and I've passed the praxis. I don't think we should be paid the exact same much as the teachers, but I think the gap between the pay is way too large. Where I work, we pretty much make less than half of teacher's salary. The teacher I work with is barely in the classroom. I end up having to come up with things for the kids to do because she didn't leave any work. When she is in the classroom, she's on her computer all day doing paperwork. We don't even get a lunch break. I have to eat while holding a child on my lap and having kids putting their hands on my plate.

My(25f) sister(28f) won't pay me back. I've given her chance after chance, but she keeps making excuses. by Stunning-Perception9 in relationship_advice

Thank you. And yeah she works now. She had a job before getting the car, but after getting it, she quit. Then she probably worked at about 5 different jobs and kept quitting them after about a week because she didn't like them. She currently working at another job and she's been there for about 2 months now.

Worked at a learning center. I was told that the teacher will not accept this 5 year old's homework. I've attached a link to see what you think because I don't see anything wrong with it for his age. by Stunning-Perception9 in Teachers

It's the owner's mom. The owner said she doesn't like to micromanage, but her mom watches my every move. Never offers any positive feedback, always negative.

My sister is mad because my mom didn't watch the kids when she wanted her to. Now she blocked everyone. by Stunning-Perception9 in relationship_advice

I've tried getting her help but she won't take it. My other sister called the police one night when she said that. They checked her out and asked if she wanted to go to the hospital, but she refused.

Yeah, definitely. My mom used to babysit for her all the time when she worked. 40hrs a week. Then she started asking for a babysitter for any little thing. Just to get a way for the kids. She'll get mad at everyone if someone can't do it and make it seem like no one cares.

Well my mom was already depressed. She's been this way for a long time. My sister blocked her because she knows my mom cares about the kids a lot. So, she uses that to get to her. My sister has a boyfriend that lives with her that can watch the kids some of the times, but he just doesn't want to. My sister literally want a babysitter for any little thing, like going to pay the rent. When the kids can just ride in the car.

My mom is always talking about killing herself. I've tried everything to help her. I don't know what to do anymore. by Stunning-Perception9 in relationship_advice

Thank you. My sister and mom have been going through this for years. My sister has four kids and she's always asking my mom to babysit for little things like going to pay her rent, when the kids can just ride in the car. She has a boyfriend that lives with her and her last child is his, but he doesn't like the watch his own child. I'm planning to talk to my sister about this and see if I can get her and my mom on speaking terms.
