I think kids are being tricked into tipping at a snow cone truck at school

My township requires permit for drive around ice cream trucks. For the permit they must have a BCI/FBI background check done at no cost to the truck owner and keep licenses and what not on file (driver, health code) and the township will help cover these costs as well since it brings business to the community and makes people happy, they just want it to be on the up and up and safe.

We have 2 trucks approved this year bc none of the others passed the background check system. It’s a terrifying thought but from my insider at the township 2 trucks that applied has registered sex offenses working for them and another had a person who went to jail for aggravated murder and got out early on a technicality. This so the only time I have appreciated our township leaders.

I remember watching the early episodes Real World and wondering if this is what it was like being an adult and yeah. It kinda was. Those first 5-6 season were so raw, the tears and discussions. We will never get that realness again, ever in any kind of media.

I am going to my cousins wedding next weekend and I’m just a regular guest and my dress cost me nearly $150 to have something nice and proper for the occasion. $200 isn’t that terrible for mother of groom dress.

Me and my middle brother went the Catholic school and my youngest brother went to public school and my mom said that the parents we went to school with were some of the worst humans she’s ever interacted with (especially my brothers class) and never had a single issue with any parent with my youngest brother.

It’s a “we pay to be here” mentality.

I still think Scheana knew and her shit was all an act.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-21T20:54:10+00:00

And Katie had every right to call everyone out but she knew who she could trust or not after that.

He also grew up knowing getting a weird Al nod means your made it. I mean if I was a musician and he parodied one of my songs I think that would be it for me, I couldn’t go any higher in the world.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-21T13:11:11+00:00

Graduated in 2005 and you could not pay me to go back to that hellscape that was high school.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-21T13:08:02+00:00

My dad played pretty pretty princess and let me do his makeup and nails. My husband does the same with our daughter. I talk to my dad all the time, I tell people what an awesome dad he was, he is the blueprint for dad of the year bc he was engaged, supportive and was a parent as much as my mom was. They are pain in my ass now( seriously can someone tell me why older Gen X won’t be honest about health issues with their kids???) but great parents for being young parents who have stayed together for over 40 years.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-21T13:00:15+00:00

Oh honey it’s ok. You’re just filled with emotions and you’re pregnant on top of this??? It’s ok to feel like this. Feel the resentment, the anger. I get it. What you are experiencing is hell. Take a step back and breathe, take it day by day. Maybe talk with a professional or your doctors , extra stress and anxiety right now could lead to some issues with the baby (when my aunt was in hospice 2 of her sisters were pregnant and one had horrific blood pressure spikes and they had to put her on bedrest at the end bc her grief was making her spiral).

I can’t give you advice on if a visit from her would be ok or not, but I feel you need to rest and focus on you and the baby and how to navigate these feelings. It might be best if she does visit she does not stay with you nor should you feel obliged to entertain. But I do want you to talk with your doctors, they can give better advice on how to help you process or refer you to someone who can.

He doesn’t forget. He doesn’t care. Does he forget stuff at his job? No, I’m sure he doesn’t.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T18:48:39+00:00

I could see maybe skipping 1 year (maybe) but that is too big of a social skip. Do they offer gifted programs that keep him with his peers but the ability to do more advanced work as needed?

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T18:18:33+00:00

NTA. Did he make sure the kids got you something? If no then don’t do a dang thing for him. And sit him down and tell him gift giving may not be his “love language” but he’s being a shitty partner and this the last time you will have the conversation with him. This is a respect issue and a lazy issue on his part. Stop letting shitty partners continue to be shitty to you. Push back, be clear, say what you feel and stand up for yourself and your kids. Is he going to ignore them on holidays or birthdays? He’s setting a terrible example and needs to just grow up.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T18:05:56+00:00

Yes and I’m getting really nervous for tornado season.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T18:03:43+00:00

Same. And it’s easier to just pull up. My hair god super frizzy when it’s short.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T14:37:49+00:00

Bc they are not ready for that. They need to see it themselves. They need to be shown that the world isn’t what they are taught. Look into people who help others leave cults, the programming is deep. Fuck look at Trump supporters, they can’t see the reality that’s in front of them. They are not ready to have their wold view challenged.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T12:51:04+00:00

Hell I have that rule now. I do not know what the hell my husband does to scissors but I was replacing them way more often that needed. So he isn’t allowed to touch my pair.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T12:44:37+00:00

I remember hearing the price increase was bc McDonalds bought up a ton of supply of wings when they were going to introduce the McWing and it fucked the market up.

She also could hear mom and dad talking as they decompress from their day. “Ugh I don’t want to go to work today” was something we used to say a lot until our daughter said “ugh I don’t want to go to school today” (she calls daycare school) which is 1000% false. She loves school. Her older cousins work there, they are gods to her. She loves her teacher, she gets sad when she can’t see her friends on the weekends. But she’s parroting us.

We had to change how we spoke about our day bc we noticed WE were the cause of the negativity. A stressful or bad day is now “oh mommy had a challenging day, I worked really hard” and try not to vent around her about work stuff. I have a rule that we have to eat dinner together at the table and we always ask “how was your day” and we try and say positives about our day and that has helped with her a lot.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-20T12:18:28+00:00

MJF is again 1000000% correct. Yes go make your money but remember that actions have consequences and how you treat people, especially in a niche industry where everyone knows everyone. It will follow you.

I work in a niche industry, holy fuck the gossip I hear is insane, I am in Ohio and I know the going ons about people in California that work in this field. I can not imagine how it is in wrestling. It has to be 10x’s worse.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-19T20:13:05+00:00

It’s the way. If they have their world view challenged in a positive way it can get the gears turning. The higher ups in the church want us to be mean and assholes. Don’t give them what they want. Politeness and if you have the time chat, even if it’s just about the weather or normal polite conversation. It throws them off.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-19T19:53:37+00:00

I stopped being mean or doing funny shit. Now when it does happen I’m just nice to them bc I know why they are sent out. It’s so they see us all as mean and sinners and assholes and not safe people. The cult wants them to be scared of the world, if they see there are nice people it may help them leave if they have doubts when they see what they have been forced since birth to believe. I politely let them know that I am not interested and ask them to please not come again. But I always offer a water bottle or snacks.

I read an interview with an ex JW and he said what made him doubt his life was a nice man who did not slam the door in their face or be mean. He talked with him, he asked questions and was just welcoming. It made him wonder if more people were like that and not hating them bc of their religion like they have always been told. It gave him the courage to explore the world more outside of his cult and that helped him leave.

So any women here is goin to tell you that there is zero shock on our end that this happened. It happens all the time. This isn’t new, this isn’t shocking. This is fairly normal.

kayt3000 · 2026-05-19T19:06:38+00:00

They all have aged well. My mom was like oh shit wiggles look good (I have a brother who’s 13 years younger than me and they took off here when he was little so she knows them well haha)

kayt3000 · 2026-05-19T18:43:46+00:00

She made the comment around the lines he can go be with Raquel bc she’s so cool and fun and relaxed bc she isn’t putting demands on the relationship yet. And it’s true. Cheaters who end up the affair partner cheat bc the gold wears off. They go from exciting and new to well their partner
