My 19-year-old daughter wants to try delivering for DoorDash, is this a safe gig for her to do alone in Atlanta?

The minor income she might make is offset by the increase in car insurance and concerns for her safety. I'd suggest she get a job in a set location, like a retail job. We all did that at some point in our lives and it is both safer and guaranteed money.

THIS is the answer.

Don’t do it. I did DoorDash when I was 18-19 also for 4 months right before college and for a few weeks after freshman year in the summer. Decent money and it’s fun.
But it can be annoying waiting around for orders and time could be used better tbh.
Pay is really not good. I use Uber a lot for work in Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Charlotte, Dallas,
and drivers all say pay is crap and DoorDash Uber eats is even a tad bit worse.

Costs are high as Atlanta insurance rates have gone up, miles on cars adds up a lot in Atlanta for deliveries, one boot, ticket, or tow will set her back months of income and be annoying. Wear and tear and gas as well…

Safety is a big deal. I’m 25M but Atlanta has kidnappings, let’s not pretend it doesn’t. Lots of car accidents and fender benders with sketchy people, homeless as well may approach her in sketchy areas

Yes as long as she only does it during the day. Be vigilant and always lock your doors even if you’re away from your car for a few seconds

Oh, I don't know. I think it would depend heavily on which neighborhoods she is delivering in. And I don't think delivering foods to people's homes at night is particularly all that safe in most of the city. Delivering to business or heavily populate areas might be okay but I don't know how much control she would have over that.

Wouldn’t recommend during the night

I agree with EY 1 above. I really don't think I would allow my daughter to do this but then again she is still a minor. Your daughter is an adult so if she was going to do it I would say to be careful and definitely only do this during the day.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
