    Our schools have the whole week off!! We call it February Recess. We educators need this time off. I’m truly grateful! Taking care of other people’s children isn’t for the weak!!!! Then we parent our own as well. Pray for us!!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

    Yes Tif, Get ready because if your son and daughter go to college you will have to sign a form so that you can talk about their accounts. I would advise signing the form and making several copies. If you don’t have a form on file you cannot discuss any financial aid or grades. I experienced this when my son attended college. 😊

      Yesss when my kids got to college I didn’t have access without their password to grades and etc if they didn’t tell me!! I told them if I didn’t get access I wasn’t paying 😊 No privacy when I am paying bills 😮😊

    @toyaclark612 8 месяцев назад +5

    LOL. Hi Tiff. I will sum it up for you. I'm a nurse, and I have to explain this alot. Remember once a child turns into a young adult, they can make adult decisions for themselves. So keep in mind when you take him/her (at the age of 18 or older) ANYWHERE and they asked to verify ANY personal information, make sure your child is near you. Because due to HIPPA laws we CANNOT give you ANY information NO matter how much you verify. t

    @murieljames4022 8 месяцев назад +7

    Hi Tif, yes I’ve been through the same crap when my son turned eighteen, they say it’s the HIPPA Law that requires them to have to do that. I want you to know also Tif, if Chris goes to college you will not be able to access his grades unless he gives permission for y’all to see them, even if you are the one paying his tuition, think about that one 🤔, ridiculous! I like how the lamps turned out, I like the art on the wall also. Maybe Tif you could add gold on the wall art or trim the frame with black to stand out a little more but I like the artwork idea.

    Now I don't say the opening however I definitely sing the song in the beginning and EVERY time you say bye bye now I am saying it too. I werk my daughters nerves with "who raised you"? . We went on base in Columbus, GA two weeks ago on a Saturday and their were soldiers everywhere. The exchange was busy. I hope you' get some relief with your skin. That would have thrown me off if that happened with my daughter. Now I know what will happen when she turns 18. Chile not them looking for the vlogs. Baby Cam said she's famous. I hope she feels better soon. Our daughter is out for TWO days! They call it "winter break". Have a great weekend yall!

    Yes ma'am once they turn 18 although they in high school they are considered adults. I tell my sons 19 and 22 they are looked at by society now as adults. If they get in any trouble they going to adult jail. Thank God I havent had to worry about that. The government really need to postpone adulthood until 20 just like they do alcohol laws. 18 and 19 they are still teenagers.

    Lady those colleges are tripping. Both of my children went to college with no problems. Fast forward my granddaughter went and the battle began. My daughter couldn’t deal with it so I was the TNT. 🧨 Each time that child went to converse with those folks I made sure she had me on speaker phone. The minute they got stupid I showed up. I never signed no permission slips but I handle all the business. I was not and neither was my grand baby a part of those folks plantation so their permission slips didn’t apply or mattered. She graduated and it couldn’t have been fast enough. Blessings to Chris and Good luck with prayers to you. 😅😊😊

    The same thing happened with my 14 year old granddaughter 2 weeks ago. A few days before her appointment our doctor's office called because they were trying to verify her coverage before her appointment and they were informed her primary doctor had been changed 🤦🏽‍♀️
    No one in my family changed anything. My son and I called the insurance company to have it changed back. Spoke to someone in India 🤦🏽‍♀️. We were talking about oranges and they were talking the wind in the air 🤦🏽‍♀️. They were saying something it happens that they primary doctor is changed but they don't know why. I spoke to the doctors office after speaking with the insurance company and have them the authorization number. Thank God her appointment went through. Just crazy, people don't have time for that mess
