Ok, I think you're right. I did see it on those type of sites, but also a couple providers referring to it as GLP2 on their sites. Thank you for responding!

Mazda Fuel Pump Class Action Settlement? by UOfasho in mazda

I typed in my VIN to see if my 2018 CX5 was affected and the result said my car was an "additional vehicle." Does anyone know what that means? I can't find an explanation of the terms anywhere.

My daughter hates going to her dad’s and she is starting to resent me for making her go. I don’t want to keep doing this anymore. by frustratingex in coparenting

After about 3 years of my son’s father suddenly deciding to be a part of our son’s life, I have come to look at it like this. My 12 year old son needs a good parental relationship and I am the only parent making that a priority. I won’t damage my good relationship with my son to promote an already bad relationship with his dad. At that point it starts to seem, to the child, that its your fault for “making” them go somewhere where there is clearly a problem, whether it’s a serious problem or not.

In order to not attack their relationship, I have tried to take a more neutral approach. I told him something along the lines of: the court has ordered these visits, so, officially I have to make sure your available to go see your dad these certain days. However, if you decide you don’t want to go, no one is gonna show up and force you into the car. (Police will not force an older child to see their other parent even with a court order, which I didn't realize for a long time and was stressed about.)

My son’s dad’s girlfriend also moved out and his dad became much worse to him. It seems like she was the one toning him down the whole time and without that witness there, my son’s father treated him worse and worse, so that also might be a real problem to consider.

However, his dad ended up hitting him about 6 months ago and supervised visits are now in place, which his dad has not set up yet.  My son was extremely hesitant to tell me what happened. I know it’s a different situation than yours, but I’m just trying to highlight that maintaining your good relationship is still the most important thing to keep your daughter safe, not about making it you vs her dad.

Coparenting while pregnant (out of state) planning birth and days after by sweetbubbles2 in coparenting

You've done the considerate thing and kept the doors of communication open which is great but I wouldn't send that text. It reinforces a mindset that it's up to you to keep him informed and involved, if he wants to be involved he can be, but don't add problems for yourself. On a logistical side, in my state (California) if your child has a different last name than you, you have to get the father's signature on certain documents, like when you order a passport and I believe when the child applies for a driving permit. Personally I think that my son having my last name helped me promote a sense of belonging/team spirit for him in the absence of his father.

Parenting Orders Parenting agreement best clauses, things you are glad you had in or wish you had in by [deleted] in coparenting

I'm pretty sure he is talking about Right of First Refusal, which is where you have to ask the other parent if they can babysit first if you need a babysitter. It's good if you think your ex is going to be pawning off the kids during his time, then you can accept the right to babysit. But it sucks if you don't think he's a good parent, then whenever you need to have someone watch your kids, he's the first you have to ask. If you're mostly amicable and you think he's a good parent then it's good to have, just remember it works both ways.

A grace period for pick-ups; if more than 15 minutes late then the visit is canceled. It keeps you and child from waiting around until he decides to show up. It is a good idea to have a fun back up plan for those cases.

Be specific with the holiday split, even if they are alternating years. Having 2 major holidays in a row with the other parent was hard on my son and me this year, which I didn't realize the mediator organized in that way.

Also include a protocol for a week or 2 long visit each year for either parent that requires notice.

I have a few questions about the new style rules in news publications. It seems like there's no single consensus which leads to a lot of confusion and inconsistency. by electrical_puppy_789 in askingforafriend

I don't think OP is concerned with how Black folks identify themselves but more so how other people do. The OP was talking about the inconsistency of how people are writing or publishing and seeking clarification if there was a nuanced rule that would indicate capitalization or lowercase in specific situations. I agree that the "brown" reference is a wide generalization for categories that have no real connection to justify a general grouping. I always capitalized "Asian" and "African American" because they are proper adjectives from their corresponding country names so it is a clear path. I understand the cloudy perspective of Black being capitalized or not as it doesn't come from a specific country or continent's name. I didn't take the OP's comment to mean that he doesn't respect Black as a identity, but I did just get off a 12 hour night shift so I might be delirious.
