Can’t catch a break

I thought that vaccines were required for attending school. But reading…
Ohio law requires K-12 public school students to have vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox and meningitis. Medical exemptions are always allowed and non-medical exemptions for personal or religious reasons are permitted.
I was looking into what religions disallow vaccines and… it turns out it’s not really a thing, except on shaky, at best, grounds.
They need to close that loophole, this is ridiculous.
Wacky tobaccy… Though it’s not too common where I’m from
What would he do on his own? What would have you done on your own as a kid? If these answers are different, why?
How will negative consequences be handled, like he doesn’t pay rent, runs out of money for food, or he damages the apartment? What about really big ones, like he allows someone to stay over long enough that they become an established tenant, cause problems, and then don’t leave? In your jurisdiction, are there legal consequences for you if he breaks the law that you would not face if he were legally an adult?
Is there a plan for if he decides he wants to move back?
Do you foresee any legal consequences? For instance, if his school learns about this arrangement, will CPS or the police get involved? Is that something you can recover from?
In the right circumstances, I think this is a good idea. As a parent, your job is to prepare him for adulthood. Letting him live on his own, while meeting his needs (food, shelter, healthcare) with a safety net can work. A lot can make these the wrong circumstances. Only you can answer whether or not the circumstances are right in your situation.
Ten years ago? Maybe. Not regularly but as a treat. I might talk with the manager about my concerns. Might even take it to corporate if I’m still unhappy. If I still don’t like it, then I would just probably go without instead of exerting extra effort.
Now? No way. I’m so fed up with companies giving us less for more, I participate as little as I possibly can.
Hmmm…
I wish I had citations for this, but I seem to recall reading one of his books about preventing divorce. It could have been another god awful Christian couple book, though. I did read a few of his books.
If a hetero couple is married, and the man wants to leave his wife for another woman, the wife needs to just take it and do nice things for him in order to convince him to stay.
If he is not treating her right, she cannot outright say it. (If she makes him feel bad, it is her fault if he finds someone else!) No, instead she needs to lead him to good examples.
As a wife, a woman must cook delicious food. If she is a bad cook, she is a bad wife.
I don’t remember if it was in another book, but if a man disciplines his daughter too harshly, the wife should not stop him. Instead, she needs to talk to the daughter separately, try to make her feel better, and not make the dad look bad. Because if you stand up for your child, you are emasculating him or something. (Enabler much?)
The only positive thing I saw was him seeing bisexuals as distinct from homosexuals. Not that he had anything good to say about either, but… No bi erasure?
This dude really fucked me up as a youth, rest in piss.
She is partially right. Some women wear sexy clothes because they want attention and/or they feel pressured to, so they might wear them, even if they don’t like them.
Some women like the way they look and feel in sexy clothes, so they just wear them for themselves. It’s not necessarily for male (or any other gender’s of interest) attention.
In my experience, the former happens less. I’m not sure if it’s due to the crowd I hang out with changing or a gradual cultural shift.
I think this is the only use of Drake in a meme format that I do not feel disgust over.
Break things… Just not the things that affect me!
brb going to get more vaccines
We don’t need snacks. We need powerful allies for some real change.
Yes, there are textbooks. They can’t bring them home because they stay in the classroom and are shared between different classes.
The kids do have Chromebooks, though. They can access materials online.
On one hand, I like the material being online. As a kid, I would often forget a book at school or I would forget to bring a worksheet or not write down what problems I was supposed to do. So it’s nice that my child can check all their online portals in case they forget something.
On the other hand, it’s not always implemented great. Particularly with the math homework, submitting answers can be harder than just writing the answer. (At one point, they had the kids draw the answers with their cursors. Painful if you’re using a track pad. It is better now at least.) Having to check so many places for assignments can be a bit of a chore. The integration between the Google applications and other platforms is a bit clunky and breaks occasionally.
If you ask me, if you gave me a choice between the old way and the new way, I would choose the new way every time. It mimics how I am assigned work at my job anyway, and it is easier to keep up with assignments I might have otherwise missed.
I am genuinely happy for you.
Greedy employers took advantage of my work ethic so much they basically destroyed it. My mental health soared after I stopped giving fucks.
There are even carved out exceptions for cops that are perpetrators of domestic violence. No gun for you if your victim successfully makes a case that you are violent… Unless you’re part of the police force, then carry on. Surely the victim will be safe!
