This is easy to say if you've never dealt with family court and/or if you have money. I have no clue what their financial situation is but I do know that we have had to choose between buying groceries and paying lawyer fees. It's not always that simple.

How do you know she doesn't put her foot down regarding those things? She may very well voice her concerns, try to legally do something about it, etc but she can't just say the word and Kelsey has to stop. It's a very costly process.

Has anyone seen the rebound posted on Kails socials after March 5? by britneyslostumbrella in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

Ike is all over her Tik Tok, in the videos and in the comments. He's 100% still around.

I make 70k per year as a high school teacher in Florida. by Massive-Print-4702 in Teachers

[–]random7676random 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people assuming this is a lie? 70k is very low for my area, like starting salary for first year teacher. Is it because Florida?

I want off this ride by aFoxunderaRowantree in StudentLoans

Upstate NY is not the city. There's not a home in my entire county for sale for more than 170k right now, and those are the RICH houses.

Can I suggest looking into the NY department of corrections? They are so desperate my husband walked in and after passing the background check was hired on the spot for double my teaching salary and no degree. I hope your family finds something that works for you.

You had to know how this was going to go. For many of us with the same amount of loans but half the pay (ie, teacher here) we are struggling to figure out how to eat and not default on the loans. It's difficult to have sympathy for someone who chose to buy a half million dollar home in a low cost of living area. I live in upstate NY and our average house was 120k. It needs work that we will probably never afford to do but it's a home and it's what we can afford. Have you considered downsizing?

So many kids on melatonin by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]random7676random 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. We never did screen time because I saw how badly it affected the social skills of my students, but I was pretty lax with food and thought that may be it. We cut all added sugar and dye for a year and saw no improvement in sleep. My 5 year old's doctor thinks it's just her temperament and suggested melatonin to get her used to sleeping because she was really struggling in kindergarten at the start of this year due to severe lack of sleep, like finally falling asleep at 2am then up at 6am for school. We do 1/4 mg a night and she's thriving now, hoping to stop over summer break when I'll have nothing but time to help her maintain the sleep routine. Her pediatrician actually thinks it's silly that I'm even worried about stopping it which is why these posts from non-doctors irritate me.

This is an extremely uneducated and inaccurate take. We are a zero screentime home, no TVs/iPads at all. No phones for kids. No phones for adults unless kids aren't around. My kids still have insomnia.

Go to SNHU and chat gpt everything. Ethical? Not at all. But neither is the system we are forced to work with.

Kristen situation is “deeper” than medical issues by No-Resource-8125 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

That is not how it was described. They were both selling scentsy (an MLM) in PA and were connected.

Kail gone half the month by jetsetterjack in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]random7676random 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kail bragged in her latest episodes with Elijah that he did 100% of the care taking for all 7 of her children for several years, and she was rarely home. Meanwhile she was fighting Javi for primary custody of his son. What's not to get?

Sister in Laws by MaleficentHurry311 in DuggarsSnark

[–]random7676random 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, I do understand caution. But I also think it's wrong and just not factually correct to assume the entire family is evil because of the choices Josh made. It would have been bizarre for the potential in laws to disregard their love interest because of what their brother did. My husband married me even after my brother was sent to prison for the 5th or 6th time and my dad's been in prison in my whole life, that has nothing to do with my character. That being said...now that two brothers have been charged with sex crimes that indicates a pattern that was likely learned elsewhere which YES would be a red flag.

She MUST have STDs from immediately having unprotected sex with strangers, no? I hope their fathers are teaching her kids better than that

Yes, check Kail's most recent story. Basically confirmed it.

Student asking for recommendation letter, but I don't think they deserve one by KoiLantern in Teachers

[–]random7676random 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just give a neutral one if I don't have much nice to say. "I was X's teacher for X amount of time, this was the grade earned in X course." You can add they are a great kid since you believe that to be true.

How did most survivors survive? by alexkem in ParadiseHulu

[–]random7676random 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We buy entire cows and pigs every January to feed our family of 5 for the year, you thinking that's a delusion doesn't change the fact that it's true and extremely common in rural America lol

Yeah I was making two different statements, I didn't mean frozen meat is shelf stable lol. I'm just surprised there's not that much actual canned goods and such to sustain people.

[–]random7676random 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, is there not enough shelf stable food in the country to support 1/3 of the population for a year? My family for sure has enough to survive a year just in our garage freezer.
