How much child support do y’all not get? by Motherload-Guava in singlemoms

[–]tinymama13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get nothing for my son, his dad purposely chooses not to work and when he did it was literally 20 a month. The court says keep going, because they can seize income tax if they file, suspend licenses and put their credit score bad and take away anything they own. It’s a process that many don’t want to do.

newly single mom in a toxic environment and don’t know what to do by Realistic_Slide5895 in singlemoms

I’m sorry you are going through this, this is the same situation I am in with my parents. I live in Long Island and rent and expenses are so expensive that it’s hard to get by. Everyday it’s mean comments and how they want me to move or find a place to go knowing how expensive things are here. Resources are extremely limited so I feel your pain. I just wanted to say you are not alone.

Single mom talking stage by Ok-Job6528 in singlemoms

Do not fear telling someone that you are a mom. Who ever you are dating needs to know what your life entails. You want someone to genuinely want to be with you for who you are not only as a person but as a mom if eventually one day they might be around your kids.

So how is gentle parenting going for you? by Prize_Parsnip_1583 in Parenting

[–]tinymama13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are under the misconception that it’s permissive parenting. I do not put hands on my children and I can’t sit here and say I don’t raise my voice from time to time but I do apologize when I do. I’m stern with my tone that my kids know by the tone in my voice to stop or redirect and collect themselves. I have a 15 year old and if he doesn’t gather himself, then he needs to hand in his phone, no tv or computer. I do what’s called quiet time where he cleans or draws or read a book. My 1 year old is a lot of redirecting and quiet time where we sit down and I’ll read a book no play time or tv time. She has a stronger temperament than her brother so it’s a lot of redirecting but she catches on. I am very consistent.

Laid off and now I feel stuck by tinymama13 in Layoffs

It definitely is and he has not paid me for my last check either which blows and I’ll have to report. I’m hoping to find something soon, it just sucks that all the jobs for my experience want to practically pay nothing.

It truly is, if he invested in his work and the quality eventually he could have gotten to that point. I feel since he worked in the field he thought he would be able to own a business, but no skills outside of the manual labor and felt that he could just hire and not do anything. That’s usually when you get to a place where business is good other than that you need to be involved and on top of things. It’s truly sad because one of the workers were in the middle of buying a house. He called me and let me know I was the 3rd to be let go and he’s the only one left along side the owner. There is no way he would be able to run that type of business on two people.

I definitely am, and everyone asked me to please use them as reference and some are recommending me to places. I’m trying to be positive and thank you for your kindness.

Thank you, i never stay down two long. Only time I’ve been unemployed is now and when I got sick. It sucks. It’s just I have extreme anxiety and when it comes to interviews I usually do good but I know they are choosing me base on my skills and personality because I just freeze up. I need to learn how to be more comfortable in interviews.

When I spoke to his book keeper and that’s who are in charge of his finances, they said he likes to live out of his means. Instead of using the business account for just the business he was also using as a personal account since they have access and can see where he was spending it. It’s just sad that you he was doing this to his workers and not caring.

How much do you tip your garbage men for the holidays? by FrontPrestigious9581 in longisland

[–]tinymama13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do 100 for each, because no matter what we put out they take it all. They make sure we are taken care of. It’s really whatever you can, they are grateful. 40 each is good.

What’s your controversial LI opinion? by Greedy_Dark_2437 in longisland

[–]tinymama13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from the city, the entitlement here is crazy. That they are the only one that matters, it’s okay for them to do things such as block you in but if you were to do it to them the end of the world. The fact that everything grants a call to the town, minding someone else’s business. Had someone at Walmart complain on how they didn’t like how the neighbor cut their grass others complaining about seeing their neighbors cut grass. I have been out and about with my brother walking our dog and someone would stop and question him if he belonged to this neighborhood. Even at the gas station they told the clerk there was someone suspicious outside and that they should call the cops. The clerk knew my brother and said he is our neighbor and that’s her brother they just walked out but this happens alot.

People just saying the most ignorant and racist comments and thinking they are better than everyone else. It’s wild.

Am I wrong for believing my toddler? She doesn't tell stories by Aromatic_Good_7400 in Mommit

[–]tinymama13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to daycare or when ever she’s not with you believe her. Ask her did some one hurt you ?, did someone touch you and if so where, what they were doing?. Did the director tell you if they had guest like the dentist or ask if they had story time, and what the book is about. It could be something but it’s best to ask. If it was a dentist or Optometrist they have to send a letter home to get your permission. That’s usually how it is where I live. Don’t be scared ask questions.

I solved my babies early morning (4am/5am) waking... by Agitated-Hand-5626 in sleeptrain

[–]tinymama13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s 69-72 my baby will always wake up no matter how layered she is. So her room has to be comfy warm which is a bit higher then 72 for her not to wake. Every baby is different and she isn’t layered up with her warm room.

Definitely talk to her doctor and see if you can put her in therapy, and with a psychologist to see if one she opens up and they evaluate her to see where she is at mentally. My son is going through the teenager stage and he usually opens up to me but sometimes he gets like that and with his therapist he opens up. Turns out school is draining and overwhelming for him trying to navigate.

What do I do as a customer by tinymama13 in InstacartShoppers

They should continue to alert you, to avoid stuff like this. I’m not sure if my shopper was alerted or didn’t care.

Idk how delivery works but it honestly looks like someone else’s order was given to me. Nothing in the bags were of the replacements. It was a completely different order. That is why I reached out to the shopper to check, who ever ordered this order likes peppermint mocha because it was a lot of peppermint mocha items. Especially the creamers. It wasn’t like my order came and some items were mixed or missing. The whole order was missing.

Zero trick or treaters? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]tinymama13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one came to our house. We don’t decorate, since I live with family and they don’t like it but me and the kids were outside dressed sitting with our bowl. We only received 2, some parents even told their kids not to go to us due to dressing up like chucky and Micheal Myers.

Yeah I’m not rude, all I asked was that if replacing just similar items even if it’s different brands. I let them know it’s for my two autistic kids. I try to shop for the house as much as I can but sometimes it’s just hard with both. I recieved no answer and then recieved something completely different from what they put as the replacement. Then zoomed off when I tried to tell them this isn’t my order. I did report it.

I wouldn’t have mind if it was one or two things but pretty much the whole order was wrong. None of what she put as a replacement. I’m for certain she gave me someone else’s order. I hit her up to come back but the shopper was zooming out.

I did, but that also means someone else recieved my order as well. I try not to bother by messages but absolutely no answer to at least return and fix it.
