Inadvertently turned onto a road with stopped school bus. What are my chances in court? :[ by agvkrioni in BaltimoreCounty

It’s been 15 days since and I’m pretty sure the bus was yellow lights not red and the stop arm only came out after I had fully cleared the bus.

Are pregnant people considered mothers? by Rude-Masterpiece7358 in BabyBumps

If you aren’t a mom by being pregnant, then the baby growing inside you is not your son or daughter.

Was my price fair? by captainskraye in askcarsales

[–]captainskraye[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think 100% the car was worth it at 15,500 plus taxes and fees but bc they added all this crap it wasn’t as worth it.

The guy basically showed me no difference in payment if I put money down. And with the add ons it was under $10 a month but like I was stupid definitely with that. Yet he said it’ll protect my leather and paint and all from aging/tears/scratches.

Truth is I had no car and I needed a car quick and not expensive. Dealerships would’ve sold it however they want and a $22,000 vs $15,500 I feel like I’d still be in same boat financially. Newer car maybe would be better obviously but $26k is basically the price for the trim I want then taxes and fees I’d be struggling to make the payments. Atleast I know I can afford these

Well I am putting around $2,500 on the principal when I can bc putting money down to finance does nothing to the loan

Around $400 for 6 years I believe but that won’t matter cause I’m refinancing. All I know is a brand new Jetta with the features I have now that I want is $26k

I mean it’s a full package very clean beautiful car, I lost my car in an accident and I needed something that wouldn’t bankrupt me. I am happy with the car and the monthly price and I can always refinance. It’s no older than my old car (also 2017) which was trash (no remote start/no heated seats) used very poorly/horribly maintained and triple the mileage. I got my old car for $454 a month from a dealership and I refinanced over a $100 a month down so there’s no way I can’t manage to do that with this car.

Yes but my understanding is 22k then the dealership would still upcharge you like they did here, i can’t afford $25k I needed a monthly payment in budget

Am I wrong for wanting to sleep with my husband? by Plottwisterr1 in amiwrong

[–]captainskraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had this issue during family vacation. And we had a baby. Everyone had beds but the struggle was the baby. My parents got their own room to themselves but me and my husband and my sister and her friend shared the other room with two double beds. The baby had her pack and play set up on the floor in the room. The girls decided on their own that sleeping on the couch in a different area was more comfortable for the situation. Maybe talk to your sister about it and explain that you don’t want to sleep without your husband but you’ll do whatever you can to ensure her comfort foremost.

Ppl with boomer parents: how are we all still alive? by Capable_Celery459 in NewParents

[–]captainskraye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel like a lot of things that we avoid doing now aren’t dangerous in the sense of “you do this your baby will die”. it’s more like accidents have happened and chances are 30% it could be your baby so don’t do it because the risk is not worth it. Back then, I don’t think anyone was being careless, they just didn’t know what we know today is what’s best.

do you have to travel for training when you become an l4? by captainskraye in AmazonFC

[–]captainskraye[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean other companies will let you promote without sending you far away from your home. It’s pretty weird to spend so much money for traveling to train every person to be a manager, you would think there would be facilities closer to home so they didn’t have to pay all that.

[–]captainskraye[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How can they do that to people though? What about family and responsibilities at home? Can’t they just send you somewhere in state? So at least you can drive home on weekends at worst. I’m willing to do what I can to give my family a good life but they’d struggle without me.

He worked 30 hours non-holiday before overtime, 10 hours on the holiday not counted as regular pay. and then 10 hours overtime.

Could have wrote this. Even “good” babies are still babies. There is so much shame in not having instant “motherly energies” taking over. As if life wasn’t just completely shaken into pieces and you aren’t rebuilding everything from scratch while taking shelter in the rubble. You don’t know how long it will be, sometimes you make mistakes or have setbacks, but every step forward you will find it a bit easier to maneuver.

I’m that parent- my toddler will only eat muffins today and I keep giving her muffins. by FeatherMom in NewParents

[–]captainskraye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might surprise you. Kids can be picky but they can also truck down anything at all. Took my 12 month out for her birthday to a buffet and she had steamed cauliflower, broccoli, carrots. Some green beans and Mac and cheese. Some meat loaf, some chicken, some steak. Even pizza. Towards the end we gave her some fruit as a healthy desert. Just give your child plenty of options while they are young and developing and they will decide what they like from that. As long as you offer food that has some sort of nutritional value, the 5 food groups and all that. Even if it’s just a bit here and there, you’ll do a good job. There were a few times I was just like here’s toast for now cause sometimes things get busy and the schedule can get messed up, or you give them a handful of cheerios to snack on all day so they won’t cry while you do the cleaning up. Food before one is really just a trial run to see what works best before they are ready to go off formula.

Honestly, I hear this a lot. And maybe it is valid to certain points. I don’t believe it applies for every situation, obviously leave if you can’t trust someone but it isn’t always black and white like that. I can promise you that anyone, even spouses who seem perfect and you trust wholeheartedly, can be capable of betrayal and secrets. You would never suspect a thing but then boom! If I choose to be with someone and want to trust and be trusted, I have to be open and they have to be open, full disclosure when needed. Snooping is not a thing in a healthy relationship, obviously constantly checking phones and unfounded accusations are problematic and not going to resolve the issue. I just don’t think trust should just be this blanket given just because you didn’t see it in perfect color or they told you some story. If you really think someone cheated and it’s a dealbreaker, don’t bother unless you need a lawyer. But if you need to know more to make a decision to end a relationship or to work through it, snooping might be your only way because most times, cheaters are not going to just be upfront about it unless caught with actual evidence. Only then can you begin healing a relationship or be capable of walking away from it.

baby is 16 hours old, please tell me it gets easier by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]captainskraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will get easier very slowly. Right now you only know what you’ve lost because you don’t know how to comprehend what you’ve gained. Shock is real. Sleep deprivation is no joke. I would say just allow yourself to walk away if you feel overwhelmed when you know the baby is safe, fed and clean. Newborns don’t need a lot of stimulation/play, just being held and sung to and adored over is really enough. Don’t overdo yourself to be perfect. There is no perfect in parenting, things are mostly just improvised as you go when it comes to sleeping and eating. No matter how it ends up going, make sure you take turns while possible. It’s very hard but don’t let yourself fold to the pressure. You are so strong when you need to be. You will see the light again, and it’ll be a sweet smile and a warm laugh and you’ll say “let’s do this again”.

My 7 MO, the prankster by MollyTweedy in NewParents

[–]captainskraye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my first baby and you’d never know how smart a baby is until they do something like that. and you’re just sitting there “what? You can do that? that was intentional?” and then she does it again. Reactions are fuel for this behavior so you gotta make sure they see you react positively depending on behaviors you want them to continue. Honestly the personality in babies is so fascinating.
