Parents, what’s the most absurd thing you’ve found on your kid’s social media?

My step son is 7. Found a bunch of searches for:

Dominicans with no hands and feet.

Dominicans with no heads.

Dominican chests.

Dominican torsos.

Dominican legs.

Dominicans in stores.

Dominicans for sale.

Silver Dominicans.

Black Dominicans.

White Dominicans.

I was at a loss of how to bring it up to him. Thankfully, the next day we were in a clothing store and he asked me why Dominicans don’t have hands or heads, then why there are so many different colored Dominicans. I remembered the internet searches and became a little upset. I told him to be quiet because what he was saying could be taken offensively by Dominican people. He then got frustrated and loudly said “Dominicans aren’t people” as he pointed to a statue next to us.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said “Mannequins”.

Plot fucking twist.

This is me. Please help if you can.

My grant has run out. There’s one under-sized paycheck to come in, and then we got nothing. And a tree is very slowly falling on our house. We’re afraid that it will break a window, and then we’re screwed, as we have neither insurance nor money to pay to replace it.

So many people have already donated, and we appreciate it so, so, SO much. You have no idea. But it’s not enough to live on yet.

I’m jobhunting every single day, but there’s no rushing these things, only making sure you’re exposed to as many opportunities as possible.

So. If you can and would care to, we would REALLY appreciate any help you can give.

It’s a new month, with all new bills and needs. One of the cats is sick, and the vet bill has already been way too much.
