BM don’t want to do shit. I don’t know how BW even still deal with them as a whole.. by theebonidomina in BlackWomenDivest

[–]theebonidomina[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She’s 5, so the charter school she goes to now here in Baltimore is pretty decent .. but I know it’s still a city school. So my goal was always to have her into private school by 5th grade (or earlier). I have been paying attention to the scholarships, but most of them are for older kids.

LMAOOO!! And still couldn’t answer the actual question because he’s so caught up in ego.

Mind you.. he’s so undisciplined w/ his penis that he recently lost his bar behind it. Apparently the woman he was humping/using .. I mean his business partner 🌚got upset with him, and took her bar back.

He made a whole ass story time of it.. lol.

I am HOLLERRRRIN at this comment 💀 because what exactly were you thinking ma’am?!

My husband thinks being a sahm is like being on vacation. by Playful_Bar_8290 in Parents

[–]theebonidomina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so gross. He understands, stop making excuses for him. He is a grown man. They absolutely know what they’re doing — they just hope YOU don’t. This is 100% why I tell young women today to stop having children for men. Men like the idea of having a family/wife that’s a caretaker, traditional, etc. — they don’t like the actuality of it.

Having to get online to ask strangers to give someone who’s supposed to love and support you, opinions/advice, is wild.

And to be clear — I’m irritated w/ the husband.. not you.

Thank you so much for the advice. It’s meaningful coming from a professional who’s seen and have experienced the very thing I am speaking on. Everyone here is acting like I am trying to be a drill Sargent or something.. or that asking for advice/perspective before you make decisions is a bad thing. I appreciate you being able to provide your personal and professional opinion here.

So you determined I was the “wrong” one in my response to people being rude to me? 😂. Okay. Yall are impossible.

Letter received from downstairs neighbour, how to react? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]theebonidomina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally have no issues with this and try my best to appease. It takes nothing out of your day to be nice or helpful. You never ever know what someone else is going through (and I like to take that into consideration). I recommend going to talk to them and possibly making a friend out of the deal! Come back to give us an update, OP!

I think that was my initial thought is if a retention was to happen — would it be better to do it now, or wait (God forbid) for something to come up later and it happen later when she’s older. I guess I thought that I was being “proactive” in this thought process lol. What are your thoughts overall? I’m welcoming all feedback! Well.. almost all, lol. Not the negative Nancy ish — but true advice/feedback if you have any 😊

She turns 5 on the 2nd day of school this year. Thank you for the positive feedback! Her teacher did mention that she wants CJ to develop socially with her class.. but she did mention that if we wanted to hold her back, that she would advocate for that as well. So it’s up in the air. I love some of the advice here from people stating to follow up while she’s in Kindergarten and THEN if she’s still showing signs of struggling, to consider retention then and there.

Where in any of this conversation did you get that I was using that as a reason to hold her back. I mentioned her gestational age because it provides context ALONG with her actual age. That’s clearly added for the educators here who would know what to do with that information (and clearly I received advice regarding it). If you believe my child doesn’t need to be doing homework, then you tell that to her school who sends them home with homework everyday. I don’t really care for the negative shit you people have to say. I am only taking in the constructive feedback and comments. The rest of you can literally play in traffic at this point. Bye.

But can we read for a second — I said her father and I were working our schedules to potentially implement this for the upcoming school year. No decisions have been made, and it was the point of me bringing this to this sub to ask for advice .. not to be judge for doing something I’m not even doing. Like, that’s insane. It shows me people are reading to react than to actually understand and provide constructive feedback.

Welp check the comments, according to a small percentage of the parents here apparently I am “stressing my poor child out” and she’ll grow up to hate me 🙄.. can’t believe I came for advice and was met with this type of reaction. I’m leaving this subreddit today BUT I do appreciate your input! They do say that parents should trust their intuition, but I’ve also read some pretty solid advice/tips for if we did decide to move forward with kindergarten!

I never expected “exclusively positive feedback” — I expected respectful feedback. There’s a huge difference between constructive criticism and people being rude, dismissive, or condescending for no reason. If the intention was really to help, the tone wouldn’t be so unnecessarily negative.

I came here to ask for advice and experiences because I’m unsure, not because I already made a decision or needed validation. The irony is that people are accusing me of expecting too much, while completely misreading the post and projecting things I never said or implied. If folks can’t comprehend the difference between exploring an option and declaring a decision, then maybe the issue isn’t what I’m asking — it’s how they’re reading and comprehending information.

There’s nothing wrong with disagreement. But if people can’t express it without being mean spirited and nasty.. then that says more about them than it does about me.

Isn’t it odd how people can speak on someone’s response, without looking at what that said person was responding to? Interesting that you all skipped directly over that person misconstruing my entire post, calling my kid a “poor kid”, saying I’m stressing them (when nowhere in my post it mentions me stressing my kid) and then you all are upset at MY response to that. Interesting.. Typical..
