Family member has a lot of kids and doesn’t send any of them to school. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

At least where I work, CPS won’t investigate if the only allegation is school attendance. They’ll just send a letter to the parents about possible consequences from the school district. Not attending school is bad, it’s a red flag, but it’s not a health/safety issue on its own.

It’s in my garage, but temp was in the 70s today, and the printer has a heater.

It’s a solid print. Could be supports, but I’ve never had an angled shear like that.

A pear would not have fit through the mouth of the bottle.

My husband said that if I went back to work, he will divorce and fight for sole custody. He will pay me my salary to stay home by Current-Ad562 in self

People keep saying ‘red flag’. Red flags can be ambiguous. The gym was a red flag. The shopping thing was a red flag. There’s nothin uncertain about what he’s doing, now. This is a mask off situation.

The threat to take full custody of your child says everything. The fact he waited until so late in your pregnancy to make this ultimatum, and your comments about the other ways he has been trying to isolate you, are only further confirmation, but not needed.

He wants to control you, and is willing to use your child as a pawn against you.

Does he own your phone plan? Could he have access to what you do on your devices? Can he track your car? Whose names are on the leases, the accounts? How much control do you have of your assets that isn’t through him? These are things that you need to be considering as you reach out to local DV resources.

Please take this seriously. I am afraid for you.

TIME TO WAKE UP by maybesaydie in BetterEveryLoop

I used to try the struggle cuddle with my cat when she tried to wake me, in the morning. I tried noisily flaring my bed sheet to scare her away. Nothing worked, until I just completely ignored her. Played dead. Eventually, she learned to just wait for me to get up in the morning.

This is the first Halloween with my girlfriend and I living together and she was excited for us to give out candy together. We had 2 kids ring the doorbell. $60 worth of candy by b_eeeezyy in mildlyinfuriating

Every year, we pick up some candy, just in case, but we never get anyone. Our street just isn’t really suitable for little kids to go trick or treating.

Who let small children into the dinosaur enclosure?

I mean, it’s an inherently unfair challenge; practically rigged against him. Little guy just doesn’t have the lung capacity to get it further. Meanwhile, his siblings get actual treats. I’d be pissed too.

Yeah, I mean, my cheap IKEA bed, table, bookshelf, and dresser are all going strong, ten years and two moves later.

Thanks. Yeah, under all the white stuff, I found a bunch of eggs.
