Our neighborhood primary school is closed today because a student, whose parent is a confirmed case, has symptoms.
Would you allow your teen to go to his job at a private tutoring center that services many students from this elementary school?

My 16 yo daughter read this and has this to say:
1st of all this David dude is messed up. like wHaT?!!?
2) I agree with "Date" that somebody needs to kick David's a$$. I personally would've done it right then and there 🤣 He needs to get knocked in the head sooner or later.
3) How can David think that he and DD have a "strong connection" if they never ever talk? That was like a 🤦♀️ moment
4) I agree with everybody else: get a new phone and number. Or if the number is too hard since she does gigs and such, at least get a new phone. And maybe even get a phone that isn't an iPhone... okay and last thing... I promise:
I think it would be awesome if you took her phone with you and went somewhere and see if he shows up. Then you would see if it's her phone that's allowing him to know where she is. I think it would be funny.
Anyway this David guy is pretty messed up and if I had someone stalking me like that I would be way too afraid to actually still go on with my normal life - so kudos to her.

Please do not quote. Thank you.
My daughter is in college. She hopes to marry some day. She is Christian. She is a teetotaler. She wants to marry a teetotaler.
She has found college males who don’t drink to be very scarce. When I was in college I knew plenty of guys who didn’t drink at all.
Do you know any college males who stay away from alcohol? How unusual do you think that is?
cross posted here because you all might know more college students personally

I've heard Georgia Tech is very picky about lab sciences for homeschooled applicants
My son matriculated at GATech. He didn't take any SAT subject tests, and they didn't ask about his lab sciences. It could be because he had a year of engineering-track physics at CC. They didn't ask about his other 4 credits of science.

Maybe try a variety of campus ministry groups? Or you're saying even in those there's a lot of drinking? Ugh.
She has been a student at two colleges and has been in several ministry groups, and the guys all drink. They drink during Bible study.

Ithere are probably a few guys who drink a beer now and then but don't get drunk. How does she feel about that?
Not good enough for her. She can't stand the smell, doesn't want the substance in the fridge, just really against the whole thing in her family life.

If you have the time, find a foster/aged out youth...or a few of them and go do things with them.
Does anyone know how/where to find such aged out youth?

thinking about reading her stuff. Thanks

Thanks, everyone. I did not mean to imply that college son was being disrespectful. There just seemed to be some tension around our knowing the schedule.

PLEASE DON'T QUOTE
Is it unreasonable to ask a college student home for the summer, who has use of a family car to commute to a part time job, to let us know his work schedule for the week? Would it be different if he didn't need the car?
Same college son accompanied my minor son while he engaged in an illegal activity. We have no knowledge of college student actually breaking the law on the trip but definitely knew younger son was breaking the law. He doesn't know we know. What would you do?
Thanks as always.

I have been wearing skirt/dress on planes for at least 15 years and have never received any special attention at security. Don't remember ever being touched. Skirts ranged from just below knee to midcalf. I fly about 3x/year.

also think Derek Owens videos are linked on his website but hosted on YouTube, so that’s another wrinkle.
a few years ago derek owens gave me a thumb drive containing the physics lectures so we could work in an off-the-grid location.

A solution recommended to me decades ago was shaving with the grain instead of against it. It helped the ingrown hairs but required more frequent shaving to look good.

and that is when the judge STOOD UP! Actually stood up and very angrily said “What are you saying?? That she is supposed to live with her sister rent free while you lived in the big house and now in a $4000 a month condo in the city?? You can get down now from the stand!”
HUGE grin as I read this. So happy for you.

if you're facing a cancer with a five year survival rate that's basically statistically insignificant...
My friend, a surgeon, just passed 12 years after receiving a cancer diagnosis with a 5% five-year survival (or was it 3-year?) rate. The last few years were hard but really only the last year was really hard, so he stopped treatment and was gone very quickly.
A relative died young of a cancer with a similar survival rate. She fought hard but was gone within a year.
Really hard to know what to do, but everyone hopes to be in the 5%.

We had a situation like this with a sneaky child, who was already seeing a therapist out of our concerns about deceitfulness. Consequences were difficult and not short-lived, but the medium-term outcome seems great.
Our situation was different in that we found the rogue phone in the child's hand.
If I had found the phone as you describe, I would probably have waited for her to come and ask me about it. If that didn't happen within 24 hours, I would confront her.
If she refuses to unlock the phone for you, that's another level of trouble. She then would likely try to access it behind your back so she can clean it up before you see it. Storing it off site, like at Dad's workplace, might be appropriate.
Does she go to school? If so, this will be harder to scope out. She can clean up accounts using someone else's phone.

That's all. Thank you.

Is there something I can do about this? Thank you.

I have taken up knitting small utilitarian items during these times. The materials fit in my purse. Very little skill is needed at the start, and I am still knitting at that level about half the time.
Over time I have been able to progress to more advanced stitch patterns and now enjoy learning how different patterns work or not for a given use. Sometimes at the start of a project I have to invest some time at home planning.
I can knit while talking to other parents in hang-out areas, so it's a versatile pastime.

It sounds like he needs to do a lot of research before he knows anything. So have him write out a full business plan and then get back to you. Tell him he can find books on how to write one at the library. 10 to 1 he won't get back to you because he's not interested in doing even that much work.
It's not foregone that he won't do the business plan. I'd say the probability is 0.50. I am working on being better informed to evaluate any such plan.

I received such helpful response to my vision therapy woo query that I am back for more help.
A very close relative would like me to spot him some capital to start an internet business in which he sells things, as yet of an unidentified nature, through a web site. The items are drop shipped by someone else, also as yet unidentified, so the relative doesn't actually handle any of the merchandise. I understand in principle how this could be profitable, but I imagine that the field is crowded with many strivers and that few are likely to really be glad they invested in this. Right? Is success or not just dumb luck here?
Where can I find out about the scams and pitfalls ready to ensnare young people who are looking for an income stream without doing much? I mean, I know the universal type of stuff and a fool and his money yadda yadda. I mean particular hazards in the context of ecommerce.
Thank you

If anyone can chime in about height for the wearers of these leggings, I am interested. At nearly five feet tall, our girl has a very hard time finding suitable leggings.

WWYD? Corona virus in the neighborhood

My teen stayed home. The center was open, but I imagine attendance was down. It is run by a big chain, not part of our public school system.
