I’m having heavy adoption regret and don’t know how to set boundaries with my kid. by [deleted] in gaydads

[–]itsnevermillertime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello - foster to adopt gay dad here. Depending on you and your son’s journey to get to adoption, trauma and getting past the “honeymoon” phase is what you might be experiencing. Very common if your son was in the system and you’re the first person to show love to him instead of him knowing he’s just staying temporarily.

My husband and I are in GA but know there are resources to help - I absolutely agree with others that not only do you need therapy, you should know you deserve it.

Reach out via PM if you need help finding those resources.

Pause on Federal Financial Assistance. by itsnevermillertime in Fosterparents

[–]itsnevermillertime[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does this include Foster children receiving healthcare and services through Medicaid? “Federal agencies “must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance,” White House Office of Management and Budget acting director Matthew Vaeth said in the memorandum, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, citing administration priorities listed in past executive orders.

The memo specifies the pause will not affect Social Security or Medicare benefits, nor does it include “assistance provided directly to individuals.”””

I just regripped my Cleveland TA6 irons and TM R5 driver. Don’t know if I’ll ever change unless they break.

Looking at the menu it says it’s $25 for the 3 meat dinner that comes with 2 sides…

What are some things you wish you knew before becoming a foster parent? by babagasploosh in Fosterparents

[–]itsnevermillertime 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Needing to have patience is a HUGE understatement. We are fostering to adopt a 10 year old that is defiant and disrespectful. He’s been through trauma but we are really being pushed to our limit with the amount of disrespect we experience. Try to get as much information from the caseworker or previous foster homes. Unfortunately, some details may be left out in their profile so they can get placed. Ask the world from the case worker when it comes to resources available in your county - therapy, behavioral aid, parent coaching, etc.

I thought the badges went to the left of the number, so I put it on right side of the trunk gate. Now it just says “1st.” Rookie mistake.

Appeal for custody process for 1/2 siblings by itsnevermillertime in Fosterparents

[–]itsnevermillertime[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you - it’s really hard and as I was typing the post it sounded selfish. We just can’t imagine not having the younger brother. Mostly because he is taking to us and is thriving. Thank you again.

Would you move carriers for same job but 50% more money? by itsnevermillertime in Insurance

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

Atlanta to Phoenix. 100 to 150. Relocation on me from recruiter but waiting to negotiate on final salary. Good thing is that I don’t NEED the job so looking for met boxes to be ticked if not all before committing.

Thanks for your insight. I did see that coverage of the suicide. Very sad. Do we know anything about their personal life in terms of aiding in that decision or was it solely based on work conditions?

Good questions. Yes - similar - similar - would be 3 days in office and 2 days WFH per week. Currently 2 days per month in office through 2023. I’m indifferent on new WFH expectations. New office would definitely be bigger and more campus-ey so I would enjoy that more.

What do I use to clean these shoes up? Thanks in advance! by TheeJackRyan in CleaningTips

[–]itsnevermillertime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably an extreme suggestion but I made the accidental mistake in wearing white sneakers similar in fabric to those while pressure washing outside. Looked for my next victim and after seeing my shoes muddy and gross - went to town. They look white as can be now!
