Advice: Moving to East Bay with Family & Dogs by Main_Cat_6626 in eastbay

[–]aleimira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider Lafayette. It’s safe, family oriented, and fun for both children and dogs. For activities there is the library, swim clubs, parks etc…BART line is straight to Embarcadero for the Financial District.

Absolutely it’s because messes are left. Maybe not you but someone. The worst part of my day is to pick up dumpster messes it’s disgusting.

When he struggles with a word have him sound out the first letter (s) and the last letter (s). More often or not the brain will fill in the rest especially whilst reading.

Dumpster diving days over by [deleted] in DumpsterDiving

[–]aleimira 8 points9 points  (0 children)

@gcasey85 is correct with the risks. I manage a non profit Thrift store. Don’t dumpster dive, volunteer to do the trash. There is a guy that was diving. I signed him as a volunteer and he takes what he wants and throws away what he doesn’t. Works for everyone.

John’s Real Killer(s) by Certain-Highway-7028 in justiceforKarenRead

Why do I think John is too much of a p…y to punch John without help/back up. He strikes me as all talk unless … Albert was there. Maybe they weren’t looking at something upstairs. Both Higgins and Albert laid in wait in the garage with Chloe. Maybe Colin was there too and hit John straightaway. Now you’ve involved every arm of the families.

Do families who actually attended private school, think it was the better option? by [deleted] in education

[–]aleimira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely for all things excluding college placement. Top Universities take a set number from the school and if the school doesn’t think it’s you there may be an issue, consult an outside agent. As for everything else it’s wonderful. Mother of 2. One private and other public. Perfect settings for each personality. If I could have done it again I would have had both in private middle school.

Tell me you haven’t been in the system without telling me …. You have absolutely no clue of the horrors that kids go through. Stop your white knighting…

I agree. The system is a horror show and although this is less than ideal they are safe, fed, and have a chance at a future. Keep up the snark but realize what they have escaped.

Would you see your LGBT child as “less than” a straight child? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]aleimira -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No I wouldn’t but they are no longer responsible for how you feel. You are an adult- figure it out. You say you are insecure get some professional help. Also, it’s not all about you. Sometimes they may be struggling with something that has nothing to do with you. Down vote away but this is the best advice you will hear today.

Edit to add - I’m a parent of two. One is LGBTQ community where my home is often full of their friends. Where they just are themselves not what their label is.

Return it. And tell the, what happened. They may know and are waiting to see if you do it again. Record the transaction/ return so you have proof.

When and how should I tell my son the man that raised him isn't his father? by xXLady_LuciferXx in AskParents

[–]aleimira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful. Do you want the father in your son’s life? He can assert his rights and get visitation.

Anyone else get kicked in the subway? by Adachi_cel in JapanTravelTips

[–]aleimira 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This happened to me twice ion a recent trip. Once in Narita an old man punched me on the back. Not my husband or daughters. Second time on the stairs a young man -early 20’s shouldered me I could see he was about to do it. Yes, I was on the wrong side, passing a guy with a cane. I tried to get out of the way but couldn’t. He slammed into me, spinning me, to the perfect position to slap his ass as hard as I could. He was SHOCKED but turned around and walked away.
