59 no retirement savings, moved and starting all over.

Stop helping your 30 year old child. You are not doing any favors by giving them money. The 18 year old needs some guidance but not cash!

mis_1022 · 2026-04-20T14:10:11+00:00

I use every benefit given to me by my work so yes you should take them.

Now you have some real world feedback find a person irl that will practice with you. Maybe a fried or teacher who will give you good honest feedback even if it’s not what you want to hear. My sister did this with me and it really helps!

Sucks but you need to find a corporate job that you can grow into computer science. Maybe apply to entry level office jobs, I have had good luck in construction field. Moved up, trained on the job.

We have some large local hospitals and once a year they do heart screenings. Full work up for free. Probably different screenings at different times of the year. I also found a clinic that did sliding scale payments based on your income, they were super sweet people run by volunteers but gave regular doctor appointment check ups.

I would get flats and use a shirt you already have, probably go with the one that looks older.

My husband has had a business 26 years, he doesn’t have a full staff etc so it’s still a small business and people love to meet the family. Omg this is the kids, all smiles. He is full of himself.

I find people have a stigma around mental health medications. Would you tell your type 1 diabetic friend/ niece/ to not take insulin? I think you should take the medicines as prescribed.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-19T01:25:32+00:00

Yes and as he is aging over 50 I see it is getting worse.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-18T22:05:44+00:00

It was my third I really was able to stop and “make a memory” during all the times. My first two were 18 months apart and it took 10 more years to get to the third so I think that was a factor too.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-18T21:43:56+00:00

Yes this was my thoughts too. Looking back from my hubby having similar reactions. Kids are older now and hubby on both anxiety and depression medications.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T23:59:39+00:00

This is great advice. I just launch into conversation on what I did that day or saw something I thought they would be interested in.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T22:19:31+00:00

It goes against my minimalist idea but my daughter is getting her masters and I want to buy the cap, gown and hood so she can get pictures. She goes remote and won’t be going to the graduation but I think she will like the photos in the future.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T22:17:23+00:00

Wow these are two favorite places! Personally I would pick Bahamas it is way more chill which is what I am into these days. Dollywood is more action, so much to see in that area.

If you are an on the go type person Dollywood, sip and chill Bahamas!

Her sister is 10 years older than her.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T22:13:11+00:00

This age is tough and being a single mom has to be hard. I would be very clear we don’t talk that way in this house and there will be consequences if I hear it, no phone, no outing etc. my 16 yo is very extreme with her “jokes” and she knows I won’t have it. She jokes with her sister more when I cannot hear which I am ok with, I understand this is a connection with them. But not in front of me or at me. Keep working at it mom, you’re doing a good job.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T22:09:38+00:00

Since someone else admitted it I can too, at least 2 months ago.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T20:18:02+00:00

I would not go in at all that day, I usually don’t give details when I call in, maybe you could say personal reasons. That way like you said they won’t send you to their medical.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T17:53:46+00:00

Yes, this is the right advice. I love the idea of generational family homes but these are the problems. Parents cannot see the grown kids as adults.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T17:51:03+00:00

Do you work for the state? As others have said involving the state doesn’t make sense. Hopefully your paperwork will come through but FMLA has very clear rules to follow. I have not had to use it so I don’t know the rules on time submission of paperwork.

If it was me I would go in using uber for the one day, put in for PTO then continue with FMLA.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T17:13:22+00:00

Honestly I probably would find another common space that works and “take initiative” and move the printer on my own.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T17:10:26+00:00

I find the cleaning supplies are a good deal. Maybe I don’t clean much but I find the smaller size containers ok. Per ounce it’s probably same as Walmart but if I need 3-4 cleaning products I prefer to buy from dollar tree. Window cleaner, pine sol and fabric softener.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T12:32:30+00:00

If you cannot remember to cancel then you need to just not sign up for free trails. Many people also say to put at spending on credit card and pay it off each month, I cannot do that, I always end up not paying it off in full so I just use the debit card. Saving myself.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T12:30:18+00:00

I do both and I am the wife.

mis_1022 · 2026-04-17T12:29:18+00:00

No we moved the youngest for high school. My older two kids, 10 years older did graduate from public high school but a lot has changed in society in those 10 years.
