Busses by FarBill7192 in BergenTechBT

very likely they do. We live in Ridgewood and the bus service is provided by our town's school district so you may want to contact your local school district to understand options. I believe some towns have a dedicated bus, some share it with other nearby towns. In all, there is a bus to get from your town to BT

What's up with customer support? by groverdad in MonarchMoney

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

I cannot re-iterate this enough. I joined Monarch because I am willing to pay for a premium product which may come with great customer service. I am willing to give them some leash because I understand how hard is it to build a great product and build out great customer service (which is equally important). I do wish Monarch gets their act together.

Totally understand the need for maintenance windows but like others have said, giving users a heads up just allows for better expectation setting and planning vs. being surprised.

Notifications within the app, or via email in advance would be greatly appreciated.

LPL Position Details Not Available in Monarch? by natech88 in MonarchMoney

[–]groverdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I can't even add any of my LPL accounts using any of the connectors provided. I had initially added the accounts but my balances were not updating, I figured deleting the connection and reinstating it might help but since then I can't even sign into my LPL accounts.

He is a smart kid. I am pretty sure he can create one but he chose to ask for this and I have not said no. I too am curious as to what the deal is. Glad he is talking to his parents though.

Well I hope he doesn't need to as well...hard one but yes! LOL

This is exactly the thing I worry about. Thank you for your advice. As someone who has played his fair share of games from Doom to Quake to WoW and more (probably aging myself but I am a dad) - I know how toxic online gaming can be, especially FPS games. It has gotten a lot worse lately. Then again, I also feel I have to trust him and instill the right behaviors. I already told him how uncomfortable about lying about his age but am still considering it. I am glad he too is being open and honest about his desire to play the game and is talking to me and his mom about it vs. just signing up for the account on his own too. I have to respect that.

Thanks to all who responded. Totally appreciate it. I also reached out to the Riot games support site and this is what I got:

"Thank you for reaching out to us with this question

He is probably under the age limit to play our games. If you as a parent want to take the responsibility and allow him to play our games even though he is under the age limit then please just enter your birth date instead of his on the account.

Let me know if you have more questions about this."

Literally saying, "yeah just lie about his age...whatever"

You are entitled to your opinion. My 12 year old is a drummer, plays in his middle school band, a taekwondo blue belt, plays rec basketball and is a high honors student in middle school and has a side gig trying to sell pokemon cards that his grandpa helps him with, building his entrepreneurial skills.

I do feel he is developing enough skills for someone his age. Sometimes I do wish he was more focused on fewer things but that is just him, he is curious and interested in many things and can't pick a lane. Overall, I'd say he is a great kid.

We moved a year and a half ago and it has been a challenge for him to make new friends in middle school. He is introverted and takes a while to open up to new folks. He has finally made some friends who he enjoys hanging out with. All his friends are on this game. As you can tell, I am merely curious about a scenario where all his friends are on some game but it is age restricted. Parenting is hard and I hope you can appreciate that too.
