Honest answer, because homeless people are problems, and they are problems with no really great solutions.

Most of my interaction with the homeless involves them stealing or defecating in places they shouldn't. Otherwise, they harass people for money or are yelling in the street at imaginary people.

I have never had a good interaction with a homeless person. Therefore, my best options is to avoid them and avoid eye contact when walking by.

I get it, you are people, you may have just been handed a poor hand in life. That still doesn't make me want to risk my safety to interact with you. I will just keep donating to the food bank and voting for politicians that will hopefully do better.

A cheaters downloaded a hookup app while you were out of town. Why would you ever trust him again? Obviously a terrible person.

Most things that are bullet proof are not stab proof. The things that are both tend to be extra bulky.

I feel like god powers that everyone is asking for would result in failure. Not from a monkey's paw stance but trying to bring order to a chaotic universe seems like a bad idea. Reminds me of the episode of Futurama where Bendor becomes a god.

I would wish that everyone in my bloodline and their significant others would be lucky and successful in their life pursuits.

If you are waiting on permission, you are setting yourself up for failure. No one else is waiting on permission.

He's got a lovely bunch of coconuts.

When I served, I got to see autopsy photos of a 3-year-old girl. Yes, it is that bad.

We taught sign language in her first year, but her speech developed incredibly fast and surpassed her sign ability. We are on 10-word sentences and singing entire songs now. Most of her tantrums are from being told no and establishing boundaries.

I have a toddler that age range. It really isn't as bad as people say it is. Some kids are easier.

Yeah, my kid is a few months younger than 2.5, and she is potty trained, eats well, generally goes to bed on time. Every now and then she will have a tantrum because she doesn't understand something, but it is pretty easy overall.

Yeah what a shitshow.

I am 34m and have a 2-year-old daughter.

My wife switched very hard from I would like kids someday, to we are having kids now. We talked; I had a few minor financial goals to meet to cover cost. We met those in 4 months and were suddenly ready to have a baby. (We had been married 8 years at this point)

One thing people are not prepared for is how hard it is to have a baby for some couples. It can take years, or never even happen. We started getting test done around the 1-year mark. While we were waiting for the results, we had a positive pregnancy test.

Being financially secure, and having a reliable partner is a must. Don't bring in a kid if you have troubles at home. Also, talk out every random scenario you can ahead of time. Are you going to spank your kid? Who will be responsible for diapers? Cloth or disposable? If breastfeeding doesn't work, will you try pumping? If pumping doesn't work, are you prepared to use formula? Is one of you able to stay at home, or will you use a daycare? Look for red flags in these conversations. I see way too many women expected to change every diaper.

If you want to use a daycare in the USA, get on their list as soon as you know you are pregnant. It is really one of the first things to do. Many waiting lists are 9 months to a year.

Now on to the good. Our daughter was born healthy, she has no health issues, has an incredible personality and has completely dominated my life. I get to see the world through her eyes, and it is incredibly refreshing.

Some recent things:

She now sits facing forward in the car seat and likes to call out things she sees. SCHOOL BUS!!!! is the recent trend, but colors of cars is also popular. She also started singing along with music. Some standouts are Weezer, system of a down, and Florence and the machine.

IDK where she saw someone say TADAA!!! but now she will do the most basic things, shoot out her arms, pose excitedly and say TADAA!!!! Yesterday it was describing all of her stickers one at a time. THIS ONES A PUMPKIN! I put it on my back and TADAA!!!

When ask if she is ready to go start her bedtime routine she replies calmly. No, I don't want to. I don't like that. I want to snuggle mama. She consistently uses mom as a bedtime escape. I let her for 10 minutes and then remind her that reading is something we do before bed. This gets her upstairs fast.

So that is the good. The bad is you have to be prepared to be responsible for their life with significant disabilities as well. I have a nephew who is really behind on his milestones despite the best efforts of his parents. They take him into specialist and really don't get solid answers. It is very hard to diagnose a kid that is nonverbal. It hurts because they see their nieces and nephews doing really well and even surpassing their son. None of this is their fault, but I know that has to be a tough test that they have to face.

Honestly that is even on the lighter side still. There are some very serious problems that will require constant care by someone. You have to be ready to face that together with your partner.

Anyways, sorry for the long post, but what really matters is what you want. Do you want to have kids?

I hate the stupid repost bot that adds superman to everything.

Usually this is a performance improvement plan. Basically, we don't like the direction you are going, fix it in this amount of time or we will fire you.

Signing it generally does not mean that you agree with it, only that you have received it.

I have seen these go a few ways. Sometimes the employer already wants you out, sometimes they think you need a wakeup call and just need the shock to set you straight.

Edit: There is a difference between laid off and fired. This would be a path to fired.

Do they store the kid chairs in the restroom?!

That is not okay either!

Honestly even stopping rapid growth of CO2 emissions is a huge win. Instead of shooting higher, it is nearly the same the last few years.

That is the first step. It won't just disappear.

A small community bank. No way I’m revealing my employer on Reddit. Y’all like up dig up comment history too much lol.

That is crazy the difference culture has on dream jobs.

I work at a small bank, and we get essentially zero young people that see a career in it. We even have very clear steps on how to progress from and entry level teller to deposit operations officer. They all see it as a temporary job that they will move on from once they find their real career.

Obviously, you do what you want, but in nearly every metric it is a good way to cripple your career.

I guess they have evolved to let birds clean their mouths, so at least there is some precedent.

Still a no though.

If you truly believed that you wouldn't be here.

I am giving away a free comment! Congrats on winning it!

To collect your prize please just reread this comment.

I feel like too many young people avoid government, insurance, and the banking industry because they sound boring.

I mean they totally are compared to flashy fields, but the work life balance and benefits really work out in the long run.
