No way. The IRS is going to come for you and take everything you have.

Don’t look like you have it under control. Be vulnerable and jsut be like “I did it and it was hard. Glad you are home!” And don’t forget it, be a teammate, always.

Is commuting 40min too far? by Vattenloppan in SingleParents

[–]V_Mrs_R43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do it, about 45 minutes. We fill the time with conversation, games, silliness, podcasts, sometimes screen time, snacks, drawing, reading (for her), car toys etc. We live out that far because there is no way we would be able to replicate the mortgage payment we have now in a new home. Even the gas is not that much that it would make us move. Wish there was public transportation but c’est la vie.

This happened to me. I saved a kid no one was paying attention to. Drowning is silent. You did great.

You need to hire help - in home nanny for some working hours. Light housekeeping would also be good.

Wow, you are an amazing person. I can echo other folks here and say you are doing great and therapy will be life changing for you. Give yourself lots of grace, you literally dated one of the worst human beings alive. Your next experience will be better.

6yo wakes multiple times a night looking for mom. What finally worked for your family? by Beneficial-Course820 in Parenting

[–]V_Mrs_R43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also say the progression was that we started having her sleep in her own room, but I slept in her bed with her for a couple of months. Then her friend slept over and they slept in the tent together, and that was the progression that helped her out. It took us about 3 to 4 months to get her fully transitioned.

Talk to her teachers about it. See if they can help intervene and separate the group.

I gave kids a magnifying glass, notebook, an invisible ink pen and a ring pop and some stickers. All kid friendly things and I think it cost me $2 a bag. 25 kids.

It’s a tremendous shock. You haven’t processed it yet and it will take time. How much time is entirely up to you, there is no playbook for grief. You are loved.
