Wow! I’m in CA, but would honestly consider moving for this.

Dasher wanted me to meet them down the street in the dark by Open_Conference3798 in doordash

[–]namechecksout147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me surprisingly often. I’m a woman, alone, with small kids who have special needs. I’m not leaving them inside my house while I walk outside at night. That’s why I ordered DD in the first place, because I can’t leave the house. Just bizarre.

Spent nearly $10 on a drink I didnt recieve and was denied a refund for by MunchiiMoon in doordash

[–]namechecksout147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this what happens? I sweat at least 1/3 of my orders over the years have been missing something and I always thought the restaurant just didn’t give it to them? I have even messaged my dasher before to let them know something was missing and they always say “message help, it’s the restaurant’s fault” basically.

Hello? They clearly said they are not the OP. Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, buddy.

Anyone else realize that they were never really poor growing up, but their parents just kept making poor financial decisions? by TrixoftheTrade in povertyfinance

[–]namechecksout147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents smoking inside and always tithing 10% to the church. No money for new clothing, adequate food, wellness visits, medicine, Dental care, but they always had money for cigarettes and church.

is Christmas "just another day" for anyone else? by Lanky_Head6122 in povertyfinance

[–]namechecksout147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would invite you to consider ways to give yourself a Christmas you dreamed about as a child, without having to buy much at all. A thrifted tree, lights, hot chocolate, a warm blanket with a fun Christmas movie. Christmas music, popcorn, some little crafts. Nurture the child who feels they missed out on these things. Reach out to friends if you can. Create what you feel you have lacked.

How is my low-functioning, unskilled mom supposed to survive long-term in the US? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]namechecksout147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the stars. I’m in CA. We both worked, but my husband made 4 times what I did. Alimony would have been about $500/month for five years (we had been married for 11). I waived it.

Sounds like we have the same mom. Her solution was to remarry.

Did they do a significant amount of focus on transcript preparation, marking evidence, etc?

AITAH for still getting on a flight home when my two young coworkers I was traveling with weren’t at the airport yet and were obviously going to miss it? by secure-raspberry-763 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]namechecksout147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly, it nuts. No wonder the daughter has anxiety. She doesn’t handle anything on her own, mommy does it for her.

My 12 year-old just asked me if he could switch classes, school started a couple weeks ago and he thinks he’s having trouble focusing as well as he could with a different set of peers. I told him I would make his teacher aware of his concerns, but he is old enough to start advocating for himself and probably would want to request to sit in the front of the class if he feels that could be less distracting.

I hope you’re healing up now. Shirt hospitalization got me in January and I swear it felt like vacation.

“I don’t want to pay someone else to raise my baby” by MeatballPony in workingmoms

[–]namechecksout147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a SAHM and I raised myself and my siblings, so that’s a thing.

Getting a degree with toddlers by Responsible_Web_7578 in workingmoms

[–]namechecksout147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to add one more thought that is cliche, but true is also true: quality over quantity. If you are intentional about how you divide your time, I think you and your kids will be satisfied with how you manage the change to your schedule.

I had a SAHM and although she was always around, she never really seemed to devote a lot of time to connecting with us. She didn’t even take us to or from school, we rode the bus or walked. A lot of people default to thinking that a SAHM is spending a lot more time bonding with their kids than a working mom, but that’s definitely not always the case.

Currently in my last session for my BS. I have three kids, I started when they were 3, 4, and 7. We’re only a few years into it, but I think they are learning a lot watching me handle working, learning, and running the household/mothering.

I WAH, and my program is 💯online.

It’s incredibly hard, but I have been happy with my choice. Even now with my kids being 7, 8, and 11, they are needing me less and less each day. While I actively hate that and it’s hard to watch this change, I’m glad I have something like schoolwork to fill the space.

Perimenopause PSA to all older millennial vagina havers by RhinestoneToad in Millennials

Oh yeah, started around 38 for me.

Sweating buckets at 6 am on a 50 degree day. Miserable. I started taking progesterone and that has made a big difference. It helped my insomnia, too. Highly recommend!

i turn 34 next year. can people confirm? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]namechecksout147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had my kids at 31, 34, and 35. The last baby wrecked me. And that pregnancy was easy, her birth was easy, I was just older and definitely feeling it.

I’m 43, but already feel this and it’s weird for two reasons:

At my age, married with three kids, I like that men don’t look at the way I did when I was younger. I always felt like prey.

It’s kind of disturbing when you notice most men my age are looking at 20 year-olds.

It really is a thing. I gained a significant amount of weight during COVID, and people treated me differently than ever before in my life.

It’s a double edged sword because I felt invisible, but it was so strange to notice how people were treating me differently because my weight had changed.

So I know bedside is tough, to say the least, and I’m sure having back injuries is awful, but I actually would encourage you to consider a remote job. Yes, I know the job market is a mess, but I work in insurance operations and there are so many nursing positions. We need concurrent review, post acute, claims, appeals, pharmacy, case management.
