The bond that keeps OP and their son together is family, but the bond that keeps you tied to your family is free food?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Try to think of it as your part time job to pay for school. At least you also benefit from the food and such, you kind of set your own hours, and you’re not dealing with the general public like a retail job.
I don’t know anything about Romanian culture. Is that wife plus younger sex partner kind of an older norm? There’s a term in French or Italian - something about happy hours or 6 o’clock girl, something like that, for the fling time between work and dinner with the family.

- Comment on 9-Year-Old Arrested In Baltimore For Armed Carjacking, Robbery Spree 3 weeks ago:
If you’d like to read about it from a source that doesn’t pepper the article with propaganda like ‘radical leftists’, here’s an option. cbsnews.com/…/9-year-old-juvenile-baltimore-carja…
- Comment on What is the point of a disorder label that can vary from simply being dyslexic to having Prader-Willi syndrome? 3 weeks ago:
I work in special ed. There’s a lot of money in autism right now, so there’s some extra funding for therapies. A diagnosis can get you more school services - I’ve had kids who really needed in-home parent training but they couldn’t get it because parents declined the AU label. Some of the accommodations you get in school can carry over into college - extra time for tests, etc.

For the really good nights
- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 4 weeks ago:
Watched my mom work her ass off to raise me and save everything she could for retirement. She got to do some fun things, but not enough. I’m glad she had good insurance and a little money saved for when she got sick. I inherited a house with a mortgage, taxes, insurance, and repairs that are bleeding me dry and I’m pulling money out of my retirement to cover it. I’m thankful that it’s given my son a decent place to live for the last year and i hope to break even when we sell it. I’m fine with that. I didn’t earn it. I didn’t take care of her for money. If you’re only helping your family because you want money, you suck and they’re probably better off without you.

- Comment on Texas Sues New York Doctor for Mailing Abortion Pills | The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, appeared to be among the first attempts to stop doctors from mailing the medication to states that ban abortions 5 weeks ago:
I’m in Texas - unlikely to need them, but i have a source that will send them ‘for possible future use’ and I’m considering buying a pack in case my DIL or a friend needs it. What happens if you are one of the few who has a complication and go to the hospital? I guess you find a duck you trust and call them?
- Comment on Went Off SSDI to work, hit with large FTB tax bill, lost power and can't pay for meds. Now what? 1 month ago:
Do you have a public, county hospital near you? They may be able to help with emergency meds and may have a social worker who can help you.
- Comment on why is the mexican-american war considered "the last war of humanity"?? 1 month ago:
By humanity, do you mean with hand-to- hand combat? I’m not sure when that ended, but i would expect it to be around that time.
- Comment on Will sucking on Ice Breakers be healthier for me? 1 month ago:
How is it different to have a part of a mint multiple times instead of a whole mint once? Agree that it’s likely the sugar alcohol. Sugar-free gum gives me terrible stomach cramps within a couple minutes.

- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 1 month ago:
My husband and I were not married when our kids were born. I wanted to have the same name as my kids So I gave them my maiden name. I never really liked that name and I wasn’t particularly close to my dad, so when my husband and I got married, we all changed our names to his.
- Comment on DOJ’s Botched Infowars Auction Likely to Be Investigated by Trump AG Pick Matt Gaetz, Says Former Asst. AG 2 months ago:
They’ll confirm him. And all the rest. With no vetting. And, once he knows the path is clear, don jr and Ivanka and barron and maybe even Eric and Tiffany will get top jobs. And everyone will get security clearances. And one day, maybe 100 years from now, the 17 reasonable people who remain will throw tea and Bibles into a body of water and the water will be so hot that they’ll watch it steep, scoop some out, sit down for a cuppa, and then take their cyanide pills.

- Comment on why are fax machines still used by medical systems? 2 months ago:
I have to fax docs a lot. Couple of years ago we started using stonefax so it’s like an email. I wish the faxing was the worst part - most take 1-3 calls to the doc to get them sent back.
