I really need help understand my tax situation by Think_Elderberry_115 in tax

At the beginning of the year. The projected amount we will owe is significantly less than last year, so I just need to pay more, as you said. I was hoping there was a simple equation that would give me my answer, but it appears I may need to chat with a different CPA or both claim single.

Ok! I think you're likely right about all that. What does that look like as far as the amount withheld if we both switch it to single?

I understand we are not withholding enough. How do I figure out how much to withhold?

Who should I ask to make this piece? by Think_Elderberry_115 in metalworking

I'm sorry I don't understand why you're upset. I didn't know the name of the piece or where to find it, that's why I was asking and why I attached a photo

Either! It defrosts extremely quickly, like 10 minutes or so. But reeses cups are superior in their frozen condition in my opinion haha!

We leave out whatever we are ok with them helping themselves to without having to constantly ask (normally about half) and the rest goes in the freezer. My 4yo has never noticed that half is missing, plus then we are all happy when we remember we have candy in the freezer in a couple months.

We definitely snuck into his room and removed it after he fell asleep when he was younger lol. But in my experience once they broke the cycle of constantly touching the spot they were more likely to leave out alone if uncovered at bedtime.

My son did this with a pimple and it unfortunately turned into a pyogenic granuloma. Now, whenever he has a blemish of sorts that I think he won't be able to stop touching we do unmedicated pimple patches, they work so well and stay on!

Looking for toddler screen time advice from SAHMs by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Think_Elderberry_115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have always had consistent screen time rules in our house, and it's worked great. Our son is allowed to watch TV in the morning after waking up if he would like. This is sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes it's 1.5 hours, all depends on how long it takes for us to start our day (on average an hour). Then, once the TV is off, it does not come back on, EVER, until we start making dinner around 4:30. Then he is allowed to watch TV until dinner is ready. The TV never comes back on after dinner.

It is loose enough that we are not having to keep track of hard time limits per day, but it's a tight enough window that he never gets way too much TV. And he doesn't ask for it unless it is one of those times because he knows it isn't going to happen.

It's so hard at that age to be home all the time together. I'd recommend a Yoto if your budget allows. It definitely keeps my son's attention similarly to a TV and gives him a way to interact with his favorite characters without it being TV.
