@Lucy_or_smtn @_djpn @StevenGlinert Also- you can have a crazy high IQ and shit working memory…. It’s common enough to be a trope (absent minded professor type).

@BodaciousBardi @timothy_timat @MilesDoesntCare @BrooklynPrep1 Right!! We’ve got 3 birthday parties in the next month- there’s an other $75 at least. And that’s not counting any thing like shoes, clothing, gas and so on.

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@timothy_timat @BodaciousBardi @MilesDoesntCare @BrooklynPrep1 Those are absolutely monthly payments! Technically, the school fee is $150 a kid one time and the tuition for the other kid’s college classes are $2100 one time, so I divided those by 12.

My point is just if you want your kids to have hobbies or education- it’s expensive

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@timothy_timat @BodaciousBardi @MilesDoesntCare @BrooklynPrep1 Let me offer you some child costs. 2 kids one swims, one is in band/taking all DE classes:
music lessons $175
swim team $100
teen’s car insurance $200
instrument rental $50
2 cell phones $100
pocket money $50
school fee $25
dual enrollment/AP $175
Total: $875
Shit is EXPENSIVE

@DorothySporsnak @deestiv @rachel_fairbank @GeauxGabrielle So you think the majority of people were SAH or WFH?… idk but I think nationally that’s not the case. All of retail was called back fairly quickly, manufacturing, health care, law enforcement, logistics and transportation… that’s a considerable number of jobs.

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@DorothySporsnak @deestiv @rachel_fairbank @GeauxGabrielle You know not everyone was working at home right? Like, did you think nurses were emailing in? The Amazon drivers?

It would be wonderful if every child had a caregiver that could be home with them, but that’s unfortunately not reality.

@jessieleelee99 @Bulldogz1980 @piper4missouri The book that set this whole thing off is ACTOR…. And having read both, it’s in the same kind of category.

And tbh I think this weakens the argument. Nonfiction, sex education that belongs in schools. But removing erotic fiction really shouldn’t be that controversial.

@LisaPaolo @JamesAFurey A smart watch with cell service is a solid option. You can still stream music or an audiobook, you can receive or send a quick text- but it’s not convenient so you’d be unlikely to do so if it wasn’t needed and in an emergency it works as a phone. No internet, no social media.

@WardProWords @InlandCaGuy I’m not even talking about that kind of behavior. I’m talking about just kid stuff- crossing between cars (even if they look!), playing- but in a place where it’s not very safe (playful shoving on a sidewalk). Not bad behavior, just stuff they don’t think about cus they’re kids.

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@InlandCaGuy @WardProWords I’ll also offer- is it possible that there was some questionable behavior? I’ve absolutely asked kids where their parents are or what they are doing when they aren’t making great choices (ie someone pushing on the sidewalk next to a street, coming out between parked cars..)

@DMCPittsburgh @CherylSchantz2 @robbystarbuck You have fewer classes in college. 8 classes in a day (with one being science and one math) is common in high school. That would be like 26 credits in college. That’s a crazy heavy course load.

@Jenn__Will @ask_aubry My teen has read them. She owns them. I bought them for her when she asked for them…. I personally don’t care what people read. AND I can understand why those might not be considered appropriate for the school library.

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@Jenn__Will @ask_aubry The rule just removes them from SCHOOL libraries…. And I think anyone who’s ready them can understand why they might be a bit much for a school setting…. No one is preventing them in public libraries, stores, book swaps or the like. It is just school libraries.

@phoenixashes199 @747Retired @SetosSweetHome @WordyKylie @Nats_n_Cats @ChristiCaldwell So my 11 year old is a very strong reader— and super into fantasy. Something like 4th Wing (based on just the basic plot: dragon school) would ABSOLUTELY appeal to him…. ACOTR is YA in my library, sharing a shelf with Percy Jackson. Middle grades are tricky.

@Trad_Humanist @godlywomanhood So then do men loose the right to vote when they are too old for the draft? How about disabled men? Do they get to vote? They can’t be drafted either….

@ChurchofEve1 @Sandra55346089 @ask_aubry Idk what is wrong with a damn bottle? You’re the fool suggesting weaning a 9 month old to food.

Give the baby a bottle of formula, nurse, pump whatever. I’ve done all three at different points and places. But babies need formula or breast milk as their primary food to a year.

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@azfaust @Zsiljkovic1 @WhittyMike @NoJesuitTricks Okay but how about NYC and rural Alaska?

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@Shawna_Show @Junkinator69 @StonksBatman @joebenson You mean the kids? 5 kids is more than I would choose to have, but his point- things have gotten insanely expensive is valid. We stopped for fast food yesterday, 4 people and it was $60. I mean, sure we could have not stopped, but things cost double what they cost 5 years ago

[cailin rose @cailin_rose]

@Junkinator69 @StonksBatman @joebenson Where are you going to hike and/or do you drive a tank? Dude’s got 5 kids so likely a mini van or big SUV. At 20 mpg $150 in gas will get you like 750 miles, even at 15 you’ll get 562 miles. If you are driving 300 miles each way to take a hike you are doing it wrong.
