  1. I think you have to get a referral from their pediatrician. If she is that wired up, maybe look at her diet. How much sugar and caffeine is she taking in? Could be something as simple as that.
  2. idk if they are just overrun and don't have the staff they need or what....but when i went to visit my mom and step mom in there....they had crazy people (i mean CRAZY....scary crazy) in with the addicts....If I was an addict locked in a small cottage full of crazy people...i'd want to use too. Thank you so much. I will look her up! Thanks a bunch. I will look this up as well
  3. their current environment has changed....thats why I say out patient....that and everytime I visited an addict in rehab....the patients just bonded over what they missed using while chain smoking and drinking coffee because it was the only stimulate around...it didn't seem very conducive to me. Ultimately its not up to me because I'm not a parent to this person. But if someone has a high recommendation of an in patient program, I will certainly pass it along.
  4. Does anyone know of a teen drug addiction program that they have experience with that actually works? I don't think I would like to refer them to Ridgeview....just based on every adult I know that has attended is still an addict. Wasn't impressed with what i saw when I went to visit some people. Maybe an outpatient program that involves the parents and family heavily....idk really know what we're dealing with here....so advice and referals are appreciated greatly. TIA
  5. My guess is the trashing of the house is because they're mad at the bank for not working with them. As far as the parking in the yard... I have no idea. There was a house in my neighborhood for the longest time that had people living in it that would pull up to their front door instead of pulling around to the driveway. I don't get that at all.
  6. I don't understand what is so disgusting about it. The only problem I would have is if someone had an offensive image or statement tattooed on them and not covered up... like a naked body or something like that. Something you obviously wouldn't want shown around a child. I'm sure that person was hired because they are capable at doing their job. There are plenty of non-pierced and non-tattooed people that deter me from going to some businesses based on their poor customer service/bad attitudes....not the way they look.
  7. My inlaws used to tell me i was doing EVERYTHING wrong. Because I didn't put whisky on my kids gums when they were teething and all the old school methods. And if I politely disagreed, I was just a city girl who didn't know nothin. :rollseyes: But this was coming from a very disfunctional family. It was my husbands adoptive family, but once his grandmother (who raised him) passed, we didn't really have anything to do with them, or them with us. Much more peaceful this way I must say, but makes me sad at the same time that hubby doesn't have the family connection that I have with mine.
  8. I have a car from there. I left knowing who the lender was though.
  9. idk what is on her credit....I'm a loan officer and have seen some pretty ugly reports due to divorce, unfortunately. It's going to be hard getting something financed with "bad" credit and not have 1. a high interest rate or 2. over priced car. Financial institutions and dealers may see someones credit as "High risk" and that is where the high rates come from. Unfortunatley, you have to "pay your dues" to get your credit back. And I know first hand about that. :/ I can say I have seen several people who couldn't get loans through their banks or credit unions at the time of purchase ha
  10. I didn't see that she had anything as a down payment. But if she does, then I do agree with you. No car payment and a secured credit card is a great start over.
  11. check into stipulations....I think if I am remembering correctly, some education savings can ONLY be used for college without penalty. So if your child decides college is not for them, you don't just get your money back.....you can only transfer it to another family member. I may be wrong, but something to think about.
  12. I didn't used to be a crier until i had kids. Now I cry all the time...unless things need to be handled first....I do that, then I cry like a crazy person.
  13. My brain wont let me cry until I handle what needs to be done. When my brother died, I was devistated....but my brain was focusing on what had to be done before it let me cry (pick up son, call husband, call work, get to my dad....then I was able to just let go and let it all out) When I got robbed at gun point...same thing (lock the door, call my boss, write down identifying features.....then I lost it.)
  14. I never thought about it either...until my brother died, and my dad had to come up with $$$$ he didn't have to pay. Funerals are expensive. I think my brothers was $8k???? Luckily (not so luckily)for my dad, he got a wrongful death settlement from the driver's insurance company so it wasn't such a huge strain for payment. I have it on my children through my work. Not much, just enough to cover a funeral and maybe a little time off if i'm not ready to come back to work for a bit and will still be able to pay my bills. check with your car insurance provider. I have state farm for my au
  15. I didn't even think about trauma. very true.
  16. That only comes after years of being guilted into giving money and help to the impossible situations, defending myself against other family members who believe inaccurate accounts thing that may or maynot have happened, and finally reaching a breaking point. Usually this behavior comes from addicts. Recreational or Rx...i don't think it matters. I heard a tidbit of information that help me find an Aha! moment a few years ago. The fact I heard was this: Whatever age a person is when they start abusing is what age their brain will operate at when it comes to maturity. (the wording was better,
  17. I've been there too. But not my child....my mom. I can't financially help her anymore. She has emotionally drained me too. I won't even allow her to spend the night anymore for fear that she will refuse to leave and take up residence with me for another five years. All the bad stuff that happens to her is her own doing. Now I just say"I'm sorry that happened. Do you think if you made different choices, the outcome would have been better?" and leave it at that. I don't offer anymore help. She will keep messing up.... But I will be the one to stress about it. if our loved ones really wanted
  18. Even if you think you don't qualify for a mortgage, it may be worth it to apply anyway. You could possibly get approved and buy a short sale or forclosure and very well have your under $600 mortgage. Some lenders are a little more forgiving of some items that may be on your credit report than they would have been a few years ago.
  19. Fall ball sign ups usually start in June or July with practices begining in late July, early August. Not too far away. Fall ball is a great time to start if he hasn't played before. It's a little more laid back than the spring time. I love having my boys in baseball I'm sure you little one will enjoy it.
  20. I pay $35 for Hayden but I may get a $5 discount because I have more than one kid there. I can't remember. it is more expensive during the summer but they do three field trips a week, have themed weeks, water days (sprinklers) and ice cream days. Keeps them enjoying summer since they have to be somewhere
  21. Look at their faces! they don't even look like they care! I remember being a teen and thinking some of the stuff my peers were doing was extreme....but hearing the stuff some teens do now blows that out of the water. I'm only 29! it wasn't that long ago! Sooooo many kids were apart of this, and no one stopped it! where were this girl's friends? Why would they let her leave in that state with a car full of boys? Or leave her alone? When we were stupid and drinking...I was always there to hold my friends hair back... I would have never left them. And that so many adults are on their sid
  22. I am just baffled by this. A group full of boys felt it was acceptable to engage in sexual contact with an girl out cold that couldn't give consent, video it, post about it online????? And half the town is in support of these boys????
  23. I think afterschool for her at her current daycare would be the same price if you wanted to keep her with her friends there that wont be attending Roberts. I decided to let Hayden go to aftercare at that daycare to help break up his day so he didn't feel stuck at school all day....among other reasons..his brother is already there, friends he had made over the summer, already knew the teachers, etc.
