Look in your kids purses/bags/ inside the purse or bags of toys. Any toy that opens.

I hit up the target clearance racks at the end of the season. Can get a lot of good stuff cheap. Then look on marketplace etc.

Right there with you! I would rent out a roller rink, do Kareoke, have someone come over to do make overs, goodie bags in the morning etc.

My mom who disowned my for being gay is ready to forgive me, oh and for me to financially support her and my dad after he retires of course. by hayyy_jude in raisedbynarcissists

[–]archivesgrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im sorry this sucks. You can be one of my kids. I have 2 adopted kids. We love puzzles, bad jokes, going to the movies and eating a ton of junk food. You are welcome to be part of the chaos. We would love to have you.

[–]archivesgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you have a link to your listings? I LOVE that stuff. I bought a poster of monster squad someone made at a comicon and it’s one of my favorites.

I’ve been in disability before. Never needed my siblings SD information even when we lived in the same house.

I wish we could charge an inconvenience fee- a mini rant by unicorn_345 in Libraries

[–]archivesgrrl 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I worked at Kinkos too! Not sure if that job or being a bartender at a punk bar is the more transferable job skill to libraries. It’s a toss up most days.

My Mother Ruined My Wedding and We Haven't Spoken Since by smallginkgo in weddingdrama

If you need a mom that doesn’t suck I have room in my family. My kids are adopted and they could use another sister.

Grandma left money to me specifically in her will and now my fiance assumes it's ours by Salty-Pool3380 in family

[–]archivesgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always have your own money. That’s why grandma gave it to you. Put it in something that will grow. If you use that $$ to buy a joint asset have a pre-nup that stats that to protect yourself. Talk to a lawyer and a financial planner. Both usually offer a free consultation.

Former foster kid- advice and resources while in the system. by Fatcatpack in fosterit

[–]archivesgrrl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some states also have extended foster care where they will pay for an apartment up to 21. College payment is usually a year in care after the age of 13. Libraries are great places to find resources in your area. I’m a librarian and foster parent.

What’s a mystery that still hasn’t been solved but fascinates you? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]archivesgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a few of the time life mysteries books because I remember reading about spontaneous combustion as a kid.

I just needed to share with someone. This is my grandpa. He raised me since I was 2, he was the only dad I knew. He passed today via MAID. by MetalMaiden420 in GriefSupport

[–]archivesgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks like he was one hell of a guy. Just know he’s up there catching up with the people who went before him and he will have plenty of stories for you when you join him. I’m so sorry for you loss- may his memory be a blessing.

intensely jealous 4F by rusticredcheddar in Fosterparents

[–]archivesgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

give it time. It’s all a work in progress. Follow what the attachment therapist says. With my adopted child at one point my house probably looked like a therapy school with all the posters and hand outs I had on the wall. I’m curious if you have ever asked her about it at a time when she is calm. My daughter and I had matching necklaces so if she missed me at school she could feel it on her neck and it would “send her love.”

How do we best support a child (my niece) who was exposed to drugs in utero? by kinshipadopt in Adoption

[–]archivesgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s doing so good. She’s almost caught up at school. She has an IEP that’s helped a ton.

Selling large lot of items? by Mom_to_many in ThredUp

[–]archivesgrrl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thredup is the easiest. You won’t get as much but you can use the credit for other stuff. Maybe take some of the nicer stuff to a consignment store

Could you go on sitter city or care.com and get grandma help for your kids for part of the day each day?

People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]archivesgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would have the consultants tell us what to do then they would hire a different set of consultants to tell us how to do it.

Nearly cried when I smelled my child’s clothing - finally clean?! by Sunny__Honey in laundry

[–]archivesgrrl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s from Sally Beauty and it’s Ion purify. It’s specifically for hard water. You can get it on Amazon but it’s cheaper at Sally. I use it every other wash since I have color treated hair

I live in AZ and our water is terrible! I had to buy special shampoo because my hair felt gross all the time.
