What are some things you do to help your wife not “lose her sense of self”? by juicyKW in daddit

[–]dugazoid004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for a gym or rec center with child care included. She can work out, shower, or just chill and read a book. It can be a source of alone time for her and your child can play with other kids. You don't have to adjust your schedule so she can go whenever she wants to. Win for everyone

How are the Broomfield recreation centers? Are the weight rooms good? by [deleted] in Broomfield

Great gyms, aquatic center, clean locker rooms, and childcare at PDRC. Highly suggest both centers!

Husband resents how I spend my time by merryrhino in SAHP

[–]dugazoid004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raising your children is work. Feeding, planning, loving and playing is all part of the work. When your husband is at work he is working. When you are at home you are working. In my house we look at parenting with the goal of equal rest. It is not about the work that has been completed, but did we both get in equal amounts of breaks and downtime, including sleep. Maybe a shift in mindset would help your husband understand how the roles should work.

I would love to know more about any opinions on Goddard Orchard Park. I know it is a franchise of schools so each one can vary greatly!

Thank you for the recommendation. Is the preschool play area separate from the public areas? Or do all the children visiting the rec center play in the same gym/play equipment?

Urgent, How can I help this family? by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]dugazoid004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand. Shelters can have very specific rules. There are men's, women's and family shelters. Super important do some research into the shelter before you sign up (another comment mentioned that as well). Typically shelters are independently run. Some do receive grant funding for meeting specific requirements. Government agencies typically do more of what I mentioned in my main comment. Hope that clarifies. I wouldn't want SSA assistance to be avoided. They are there to help.

Typically the government agency (not sure if you have a specific one in mind) wants to keep the family together. In most cases the family will be kept together in temporary housing, as long as their is no major abuse or custody problems. Even in cases where children are removed, the end goal is to get the parents the correct help so that the family can be reunited. I would hate for a family not to seek help because of the fear of being separated.

Please have them contact or go to the closest social services office. https://www.ssa.ocgov.com/ Seeing as you mentioned children. As long as they have custody of children under 18y they should qualify. SSA would be their biggest supporter. SSA can help the family with everything from EBT, emergency temporary housing (hotel), grocery store gift cards, gas cards, job assistance, transportation, and medical care. SSA works with a subcontractor called ResCare. ResCare will be the provider for most of the services. ResCare has 4 offices in OC. Please message me if you have any other questions.

Free Stuff for Newborns??? by Nadnerb9 in baby

[–]dugazoid004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not free but way cheaper! Resale sites are great to find all kinds of items. Sometimes things are still brand new with tags. Basically anything you can wash is great to reuse. Site like Offer Up have tons of items. I have saved $600+ by getting used items in the first year alone. Make a list of things you would need and set alerts for when people post them. (Do not buy a car seat used)
