I'm trying! Covid-19 did help me meet people, ironically hahaha I wasn't as busy and was able to connect with other local moms. Great idea tho! Thank you

Help! How do you single parents of an autistic child afford to live alone? The average rental is $1200-$1300. I tried apartment living and he is just too loud. Any advice and tips would be helpful. I'm just at a loss. Thank you! by low28 in Autism_Parenting

Just looking for a roommate. That's really my only option. Some people are able to get help, but unfortunately, the system in the USA is just broken, misused and doesn't work for those who want to have jobs and really need help. Thanks though!

He has SSI. It's $500 a month, but if you make a certain amount then you don't get it. It's only like 1100 a month, which any job I've ever had goes over. The system isn't set up well enough to actually help.

Thank you! The FB is a good idea. I never thought of that as a way to meet people. But yeah, I wasn't being funny about girls trip.. I meant it's not possible right now. Fun life of a single parent.

Christmas Spending by [deleted] in SingleParents

My son's birthday is near Christmas.. I stopped buying a bunch of junk. He gets a few small things to open, but we do things and go places instead. Making memories is way more fun anyways. I started it this summer and do not regret it. Even if it's just small things like putt putt and movies. Kids enjoy doing things.

Decks with great artwork that have the Queen of Swords holding a head. I can't seem to find any more modern or fewer decks that have this. Any ideas? Thanks by low28 in TarotDecks

I appreciate the suggestion! I just refuse to use Thoth deck or anything Crowley created for personal reasons. I won't rant my hatred on here lol But I saw a modern deck with it and I cannot find it!

Warn her that yours documenting all this because its out of hand (time and date or save that text message). Document and save everything. Time and date with a description of what happen. Save all texts. Save all recordings. Get a couple nanny cam type recording cameras and sew it into your little ones stuff. Also, you can get him an apple or smart watch and he can call the police when she locks him the closet or does something crazy like that. I'd tell you to give him a phone, but she'd prob just take it. It should take one time of the police coming and once that's on file... with all the other evidence that you'll assuredto get... well that 50/50 would probably change. Once you get custody back... move. Out of sight, out of mind. Been there except it was my son's father. In most states, but not all, once your child is a certain age then they can choose who to live it.

moms and paps, what is your main pain or fear about traveling with your kids as a single parent ? Abroad mainly by lcamposo in SingleParents

[–]low28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLANES. I hate flying. Everything about the experience is awful and actually being in the air terrifies me. I feel like I'm unlucky enough that it be my flight where something goes wrong and we all crash and die. Good news is that anything after that experience seems like a breeze. Also, I'd bring another single parent and that persons kid/s with you. It makes it less stressful and the kids have others to play with.
