I’m at a loss. My 13 year old has been working really hard. He’s played consecutively the last 4 years and for 2 until Covid hit and everything shut down.

He’s good, but not great by any means. Hitting is great, stealing is great, but regular base running just isn’t. He’s working on it with a few drills his coach this year have him.

He did take the last week off of catching and batting because I’ve been working so much, but that’s coming to an end.

Up until two weeks ago, he’s been saying that his dream is to go pro. Now do I think he’ll make it? That’s iffy, but I won’t tell him that. I’m as positive as I can be with him.

Mainly afraid that he’s just going to give up completely and I know deep down, after he gave me a long term life goal, he doesn’t want to.

So, any suggestions?

Im at $47, but only have $2.xx available. When does the rest usually become available? I can only find when the other company approves it, but I’ve been at this amount for a month.

Originally posted this in the sub but they’re trying to say that I am trying avoid ban evasion (not sure how, but okay). I’ve heard that group sucks anyways and this just proves it.
Anyways…
Trainer and I became forever friends this
morning( have been lucky for a couple of months now. He initiated remote trade. We went through with it and when it was done, my mon was not lucky. Went to talk to him on campfire, and can’t find him and he is no longer on my friends list.

Has this happened to anyone else?

What is everyone using to teach the kids how to slide besides the real thing?

For context: myself, husband and kids live with them. We were asked to help out financially and with the house. And we are just financially screwed with no hope in site. We pay $1200 a month which is fairish due to not having to pay for utilities and such.

In the beginning it was great. I was a SAHM and I had no issues keeping up on the house and I guess they just got used to me doing all of the housework because of that.

Well, a few years go by and kids started school so I got a job. For the last few years, our rent went up because I wasn’t able to continue with my “duties”. I’m feeling like I’m a maid for them.

They’ll be home shortly and I already know how the rest of the night is going to go because nothing has really been done because I just don’t know where to put anything and I know that it’s just going to be trashed in a few days again.

Negatives:

FIL- Unemployed, a hole (imagine Clint Eastwood in the beginning of Gran Torino), doesn’t clean, expects MIL to cook and yells at the clouds when everyone gets home because of the messy house.

MIL- hoarder, constantly buys stuff that just sits around, starts a hobby and rarely ever finishes it and just leaves the packaging around saying that she will get to it (I usually do because I’m tired of my FIL yelling at the clouds about it and claims she’s always too tired to clean (okay so she does work and is older, but…), and wants to watch nothing but political news with a sprinkle of Game Show Network.

BIL: Lazy (my husband says that he has never cleaned our shared with him bathroom. I thought it was just my imagination), lets his animals piss and shit everywhere and blames it on our dog even though FIL knows who it really is. Makes plans for everyone (tonight is us cooking for extra people coming over).

Everyone one of them is constantly asking my husband to do shit that they easily can so it makes me feel like shit when I ask him to do something.

Positives-

FIL cleans (solely after himself)

MIL- Tries to keep the peace of the house

BIL- does dinner dishes on Saturday and Sunday

My family only cooks 3 nights a week and my MIL cooks the other 4.

——————————————

I just don’t see how this is feasible for myself and kids mentally anymore and it sucks because we really have no where else to go. This place is so taxing.

My husband is on the verge of being manic depressive because he tries to tell them no and gives them a valid reason but then the toxicity of “Fine, I’ll just do it myself” starts from mainly my MIL.

As soon as we have some savings built up, something else comes along.

How the hell do any of you cope like this?

If you managed to get to this point, thank you for letting me vent. It means a lot.

What is your go to? Tired of making the same ol’ same ol’. And I’m not creative enough to come up with dinners.

I’ve got 3/4 of us who need to work on our weight and like most we’re broke as a joke. Part of the problem is that 13m eats small portions but he’s hungry not even an hour later and hates reheating food.

I’m neighbors with one of employees at MV jiffy lube and she asked me to post for her. If you are looking for job, they are looking for help. No experience needed, but preferred for at least basic stuff, such as oil changes etc. They are willing to train though and are trying to change the culture and negative reputation that they have.

If you think that you’d be a good fit, head over to Indeed and fill out an application. She didn’t give me application link for the company.

First and foremost I want to say that I’m proud of my son 16m.

He is trying to find his first job. I helped him do the most basic of resumes last night because he has no history. I’ve never been good at resumes because I come from a generation where unless you were going after white collar, you just filled out an application.

We decided that Goodwill would be a good first attempt. It’s plain as day on there that he is in school, and they still chose to call him during those hours argh, but left a voicemail. He’s admittedly horrible at talking on the phone. I had to spend 5 minutes with him coaching him on what to say just to ask for the person who called him. During the time, he started hyperventilating. In the end he left a decent voicemail. But now I’m afraid that they’ll actually return his call again. I mean what am I going to do?

I’ve held multiple mock interviews with him as well as someone he didn’t know (one of my coworkers) over the phone. He always gives the same answer, “I don’t know” It doesn’t even matter what the question is; still the same answer. Heck, even when asked what hours he’s available to work. He knows his school schedule, knows that he’s available outside of those hours and knows that I won’t care what hours he works, as long as they follow state laws for working minors/HS students.

What are your suggestions?

I’m also going to say, don’t suggest medications. Anytime we talk to anyone about him and his autism, that’s always the first suggestion because of his anxiety.

I’ve had two buyers today.
One was just a complete idiot who couldn’t comprehend what I don’t do porch picks, but I do meet at the corner. Multiple times of me telling her this, she said she was just confused. Yeah, okay. Then she couldn’t understand that I only take cash. She kept coming up with different payment methods. Yeah, not today dude. Then she kept thinking I was backing out on the sale. After the 5th time of telling her I wasn’t, I simply said, “This is just too much. If you want the item, then you’ll meet me at the corner of xxxx at x:xx with cash in hand.” “Oh so you aren’t backing out. I’m on my way.” She showed up finally but damn.

Now for the second deal, not as bad, but I have it mentioned on the post cash only. I forgot to mention that earlier. It’s on all of my posts. He did the same thing regarding the cash. Ugh

With everything retro coming back in style, why not Josta? It was so much better than Jolt

Can anyone tell me why the construction on Kent Kangley by the high school was starte (and most likely will be finished) before the roundabout on MVBD? I don’t know about everyone else’s, but my suspension is taking a huge beating right now because people behind me are too impatient.
