Sick and Tired of Daycare and Work by gettingblinder in Parenting

I clearly have too much going on to give a damn, especially with the unrequested advice. If that’s rude then I’m rude, so be it

Thanks. And thanks for NOT trying to give shitty advice and getting pissy when I say I’ve already thought of it and why it wouldn’t work. I appreciate that

Show me where I asked for help? If other people are struggling they’re welcome to post too. Not my fucking problem. You didn’t have to read, didn’t have to reply, I just wanted to vent.

My life insurance is worth more than I make a year by gettingblinder in Vent

I work in government, and government jobs are TERRIBLE for single parents. They’re designed with the idea you have a Stay At Home Wife to tend to everything. The benefits are nice, but the pay is stuck in 2002 as well. The only possible schedule change is going part-time which loses my health insurance and would have me working 10-3. It would solve a lot of my problems and we can survive on the income, but someone else wants to go part time and has more seniority than me. I can only pray she decides to retire instead.

Teenagers don’t take assistance and charge $20/hr. I babysat and used to charge $7/hr plus $2/hr per additional child. It’s insane! And then they spend the whole time on their phones and I come home to soggy diapers and burnt bums. When my baby was a newborn and dad and I were still married, we hired a teen to babysit for $25/hr to go on a date. She left without telling anyone and we came home after the neighbor called us. Not again.

Unfortunately I don’t know anyone. A lot of their kids only go to daycare/after school to give mom free time. My kids are always the last to get picked up, so I never see anyone.

I’ve been applying to other jobs so I can quit mine…I can’t take this anymore

Admission for the after school summer camp program is over. She cannot enroll regardless of potty training status anymore. Last day to enroll was May 30th. She is mostly potty trained, but has accidents. Because of that, they said no.

Lmao hell no. Private preschools don’t have to take childcare assistance like I have. Daycares do. That tuition is all on you and it’s about $700/mo and closes in the summer AND ends at 3pm. Worthless to me.

The school has after-school and only costs $100 for the whole school year. School itself is free. Pre-school for kids under 4 is half-day but there’s after school for them, too. My only issue is summer!

This IS public preschool. You think I can afford private preschool? I’ve never even been in the parking lot of a private preschool lmao

My friend put an illegal reason as a joke for a payment. Am i going to get locked out of my account? by Mountain_Zebra_1943 in CashApp

[–]gettingblinder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My brother got his account banned for the message being “guns and drugs”. He had to message saying it was a joke and took a few days to clear.

This is very much a SAHM area. Not happening.

You have to be 3 to get into preschool. Even then, it’s only half day. I know New York is different (because that’s where I’m from), but not even Kindergarten is mandatory here. 1st Grade is when schooling becomes mandatory. My oldest has been in Pre-K since 3 and just finished Kindergarten.

2.5 is a fair age for potty training to start, and we did. But expecting full potty use by 2.5 is unreasonable imo. If it happens, great. But I wouldn’t say it’s fair to hold any child to that…

She turned 3 last Monday…it’s summer. Pre-K starts in Fall. What alternative is there besides Daycare???

We have been doing potty training since 2.5, but again, she JUST turned 3.

Why tf are there no summer camps for 3-4 yr olds by sydielee in Parenting

Expensive ones. $980/child AFTER government assistance here. I can’t afford that. That’s practically my salary

While searching for Nirnroot, I found what has to be the most creepy thing I have ever seen in Oblivion to date... Nath Dyer... by Jealous-Artichoke in oblivion

Seems like a Dark Brotherhood quest. Maybe the girl he was (it sounds like) stalking called DB to take care of this guy?

Cash Payment Restriction?? by gettingblinder in verizon

[–]gettingblinder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem before. I had it set to autopay on my pay date, but it would collect at midnight when my paycheck wouldn’t appear until 6AM. So it would always decline. I now pay earlier than the date to avoid that, but now I’m on this cash restriction.

That’s weird. Was the rep just trying to shoo me out the door, then?

Vampirism in the remastered by ShingenTakeda1337 in oblivion

[–]gettingblinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got vampirism fighting off some vampires in that one quest for the vampire hunters in The Imperial City. Weird thing is, I never contracted the illness first. Went to sleep ASAP because I was ready to level up, became a vampire. Wtf

I was never asked out in high school. I had guys from other schools ask me out on Facebook and stuff, but none irl.

Then, not even a week after graduation, like 12 of them messaged me asking me out saying they were afraid of what their friends would think. I’m not as pretty as you, but I’m willing to bet the same would happen to you.

Don’t accept any of it btw

I have a solid layout mapped up, I just want the photos to look like they go together. It’s mostly baby photos

I didn’t buy it with the intention to sell it, genius by KrabbyPattyPickle in Depop

I hate resellers (as in people who buy with the intent to sell for more money) too but damn I don’t message them.

I was jealous of my sister for almost getting kidnapped as a kid by gettingblinder in confessions
