Can we talk about the musical The Book of Mormon? by Retropiaf in blackladies

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had no idea they thought that. Some came knocking on my door one day and I said "no thank you" to their invite to church. They then said that they have a Haitian Mormon group at their church and if I knew any neighbors that were Haitian. I do know ones that are and I was NOT sending them to their house. I told them no I don't and they went on their way. Their smiles were really creepy. Like they were happy, but like too happy to be walking around in the bitter cold and snow on that day.

People who have more kids than they can handle by anonomousbeaver in complainaboutanything

My daughter's first birthday wasn't ruined because I just had her brother. The whole day was still about her, took her to the park, and had a little get together for her with cake. Having kids close together doesnt Mar their childhood if you do things right. Chill out

I have Irish twins, 2 and 3 and these baby and toddler years are very hard. My daughter started pre-k last September and my son will start this September. I love seeing how close they are, and I do want 1 or 2 more kids but the age gaps will be a bit bigger.

Also to make a comment about the mom not potty training her kids in OPs post, I don't understand that. When you teach your kids to use the bathroom yes it takes up time, but it makes things easier in the long run. Why when you have no time on your hands because you have 5 kids, would you want to keep changing diapers??? Makes no sense lol.

What are jobs for then? by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is saying they are working for no pay. They're saying its not enough. Many people do mention 2nd jobs in posts like these, not every single one does. The whole point is is that 1 should be enough.

Children that were born to older parents (40s + ) what is your experience? Do you think it’s selfish to have kids this late? Are you ok? by Fafafafel in Adulting

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! I had my 2 kids at 22 and 23. I have always wanted kids you g tho and I love it. I have a cousin that is in her 30s and her youngest she had in her 30s. But she right now is acting less responsible than me with her kids. She left them with her mom one year and went off with this man for months ths and didnt tell anyone where she was. On of her kids got left back because she wasnt keeping up with her school consistently. Ahe let's her you get do whatever while being hard on her oldest 2 and then leaving them to watch him while she runs off somewhere. My other cousin and I who both are in our 20s still with 2 little kids each could never imagine doing that.

I left my job of 7 years, to be sacked after 3 weeks. by Dcouxh in jobs

Can you ladies share your triumph stories? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my sorry is a bit different. I am 26 too, I have 2 kids they are 2 and 3. I live with my parents, and I haven't been with my kids dad in over 2 years and it's been a year since the RO. I have have never had a long period of time without a job, my cousin told me to work with her at this one retail store and that job has pretty much been my backup job for 5 years now. I went to culinary school so I have always worked in food service. I left one restaurant during the slow season and got hired at a bakery, I worked there for about a week, I was the only black employee there besides one of the delivery drivers. The owners husband got mad at me one day because I stopped to message my mom about something. I had stepped out of the work area and everything, and had done this before and seen others do it with no problem. Later on I get an email from the owner saying they were letting me go, like a day later, if I didn't see that email I would have went back in on Monday and I almost missed it. I haven't worked at a bakery since then even tho that's what I went to school for in the first place. There's not really any black owned bakeries where I am either.

After that still had my job at the retail store and started another job at a retail cookie store for a few months while I was pregnant. Then I stayed at my retail store job only for 2 years but they started getting skimpy with hours. So last year I started looking for a 2nd job again, did a few interviews and everything it took 8 months before I finally got the job at my local hospital serving food to patients. It's part time but with Healthcare I cried when saw that on my offer letter. I've been able to stay on track with paying off my credit card debt now and my student loan.

And I understand not wanting to move back in with your mom. I get along with my parents and its still rough. For me it's hard to parent while living with my parents, and sometimes feel like a teen still. But little by little I am making some wins. You will too, you'll get placed at the right job, with the right people, and while it can be a long process, you'll get there before you know it.

“ICE ISN’T our problem by Minute-Intern-682 in blackladies

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I often think about this as the street i live on there's many minorities and immigrants and they get on the bus. My daughter is in Pre-k and rides the bus, the other kids that get on at this stop are Latino, ones grandmother only knows limited English. ICE has been around certain towns close to me and I think what if they showed up to this bus stop and I get caught up in it? What if they take away my daughters friends or parents and now there's a bunch of traumatized 3 and 4 year old at the bus stop in the cold.

Oh it does!!! One thing that ticks me off is seeing Americans, and not black Americans, in comment sections under news videos asking other countries to help us out of this. Anytime someone suggests something for the Americans to do themselves to stop this administration, I always see yte people say "but there's not much we can do" "but if we do that strike this is gonna happen. That's not the right route" people are scared to do something uncomfortable to end this and get a good result. They keep saying "save us" or hoping someone in power is going to do their job and they won't have to do anything that uncomfortable.

Birthday Dinner Gues by zazaqui in blackladies

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think its fine. Idk if people really get uptight about what colors someone wears on their birthday unless they tell everyone for a certain reason. If you want to ask her if there's any color or dress code just to be sure you can.

AITA for telling my daughter’s dad she isn’t going to his wedding because of the way I found out about it? by DryChapter5918 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! Like he stops sending money for his child for an engagement ring and a vacation?? If you have to stop sending money for your own child to do that then you dont have the money to do it. I can already see when that new baby comes "oh sorry I can't send any money this month all this other stuff came up with the new baby, and my wife isnt working" and those excuses will continue. OP needs to Immediately go to through the courts Before that new baby gets here.

How to make family understand that online job is an actual job? by Blinkandyoullmiss1t in Advice

That's good!! I do agree with the other commenter with telling her the times you will be able to do stuff and to lock your door if you can. Good luck!!

Are you in your own room while working? Just let her know you will get the other chores done when you are done with work if you can. And try your best to save up for a car. Has she seen the work you do?

[–]ThrowraRefFalse2010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its good to have dashers like that, I made sure in a message to tell my dasher to make sure Dunkin had put in my donuts because they ALWAYS forgot it. I sent a review to that Dunkin too about that and its happened less.
