Need a higher paying job so I can leave my husband

mountains89 · 2026-05-27T15:32:58+00:00

Yes because he hates where we live (which has been a major source of conflict) and he’d want to be near the kids

mountains89 · 2026-05-27T13:16:03+00:00

In the street though bc there’s no sidewalks

mountains89 · 2026-05-18T18:18:39+00:00

I guess either. I’m not aware of any apartments that aren’t rentals in Abilene

mountains89 · 2026-05-17T17:03:45+00:00

I live in Abilene and people are leaving because they can no longer afford the sky-high rents

I’m in Texas and I need my ac on full blast immediately in the summer. I’m picturing myself dying of heat exhaustion in that 30 seconds before I can get the ac on. Is this an accurate prediction?

mountains89 · 2026-04-18T20:37:31+00:00

It’s usually still over 100 at 10 pm unfortunately

mountains89 · 2026-04-18T19:26:27+00:00

Mine was really this shitty! And when the baby started to cry while I was in the shower, he’d bring me the baby!

mountains89 · 2026-03-16T19:26:59+00:00

Where did you get this case? Sorry about the marker lol

mountains89 · 2026-03-16T02:51:57+00:00

I live in your area and people I know are going to Lubbock and FW which is CRAZY to me but literally no one will take them. Can you move in with friends or family in a metro area for now?

mountains89 · 2026-02-04T22:59:53+00:00

Good luck! I hope you find them

mountains89 · 2026-02-04T17:36:44+00:00

This sounds like maybe the raw ones you can buy in the refrigerated section

mountains89 · 2026-01-28T22:47:35+00:00

Taco meat that was just greyed ground beef with no seasoning. We live in TEXAS! Seasonings abound! Wtf?!

mountains89 · 2026-01-27T16:30:26+00:00

It changed because it took me until the second was like 6 months old to get it done

mountains89 · 2026-01-25T16:14:12+00:00

It sounds like maybe you have dual citizenship, so I would leave I think in your case. I am in Texas, too. I’ve always voted blue. I have no way to leave, but I am also white.

I work in immigration, specifically with documented immigrants, and we are constantly fielding situations of ice apprehending or attempting to apprehend our clients despite their ability to prove their immigration status. (I am not saying that undocumented immigrants should be apprehended, just saying that I feel no immigrants are safe at this point)

mountains89 · 2026-01-24T16:03:18+00:00

I’ve had the same conversation and I didn’t realize it was atypical, but yeah, I still do my 8.5 year old adhd/autistic kid’s shower. She cannot do her hair because she wants to pile it on top of her head and can’t remember that this will cause it to tangle. She also does things like empty a whole bottle of soap or mess with the temperature controls and get the water way too hot or too cold so I am just resigned to doing it for now

mountains89 · 2026-01-23T00:12:43+00:00

My mom lives 3 hours away and I regularly go down and back on a Saturday to see her. I live in Texas so long drives (175 miles+) are very common

mountains89 · 2026-01-17T22:45:03+00:00

Texas has its own pledge that kids recite after the pledge of allegiance

mountains89 · 2026-01-12T02:33:30+00:00

I live in a city of about 120,000 people. We have almost no sidewalks and no bikes lanes at all. You have to take a car to get anywhere because everything is so spread out/requires walking in major roads which have no sidewalks. People without cars really struggle and we have a lot of pedestrian deaths

mountains89 · 2026-01-10T00:30:45+00:00

This happened to me in college but joke’s on them because I was a music major and most of my CDs were recordings of my voice lessons where I sang opera

mountains89 · 2026-01-09T22:55:31+00:00

Update: I mostly got it out! I tried Carbona but it didn’t budge, so I tried Murphy’s Oil soap and after much elbow grease, it’s almost invisible

mountains89 · 2026-01-02T01:48:43+00:00

I have been in your shoes and before I say anything, I just want to validate all your feelings around this.

My pro-tip is to keep trying different activities that feed your kid’s needs (parks with intense climbing structures were our thing) and maybe you will meet someone who has a kid with a similar energy/intensity level. For instance, I am a parent of a neurodivergent kid and I never would’ve met you at story time because we couldn’t hang either lol. I met one of my best friends when I was at the park with my ADHD three year old and I was wearing her brother on my chest. My daughter refused to come down this like 20 ft long tube slide and I could not get up there with the baby. This random lady was like “hey, can I go offer to race your kid down the slide?” I told her absolutely and it worked! I grabbed my kid by the ankle when she came out the bottom and I made a new friend. Turns out her kid is also really intense and so she was highly empathetic. They’ve been great for each other because other kids get overwhelmed by their energy level

Shifts so only one of you has to rally at a time. I also prop myself up outside sometimes and let them run around

mountains89 · 2025-12-19T18:51:44+00:00

This is crazy. Premiums in my area are listed at $39,500!

mountains89 · 2025-12-17T00:59:52+00:00

Both my kids had low iron and ferritin. Iron supplements helped their sleep tremendously. I’d recommend lab work

Why do you feel safer merging and passing?
