When you hear someone is a 'single mother' does this mean she's raising their kids alone? Or she and her ex-partner both raise the kids, but have a separate residence? Or her ex-partner is not involved emotionally, financially, physically? in the upbringing of the kids they had together? Or the ex-partner totally abandoned the kids?

I just think of it a woman who has primary custody of her kids. I don't really categorize it beyond that.

I hear you. But some single moms seem to muddle through without the support or minimal support of their ex-partner. Some clients in my jobs had baby-mamas or baby-daddies and tried to work in the best interest of their child together, but the adult parents had friction and their feelings of affection or love was gone, except in the case of the baby or child. So cooperation was not always there.
Anyone else having issues seeing their Amazon gift card balance?
I can see the balance but Amazon isn’t showing the activity so I’m not seeing the individual charges. I thought it was a temporary glitch but it’s been over a week now.
I keep a gift card balance because I get reward points at my grocery store when I buy them and it keeps all the little charges off my card statement. I hope this isn’t another functionality Amazon is taking away

I keep a gift card as my method to purchase books, to keep to my book budget.
Just checked my gift card balance, and I can see the balance and all transactions are listed below as usual. Maybe contact Amazon for help?

Thanks. Maybe it’s just a server issue. I’ll prob try to give it a few more days before I try Amazon’s CS hellscape Just so annoying. I’ve only had a handful of erroneous charges over 15+ years but I never trust anybody when it comes to money.
Hello everyone, hope everyone is doing ok. I've been busy at home, today hubby is home early due to Eid Al Fitr, those who aren't of Islamic belief worked half a day and those who are were given their day off completely. Leo who was super excited to have his dad home early left with his grandfather (my dad) and his cousins for the park, lol! So hubby took over for me and is watching out for a napping Ivy, who we are starting to see isn't going to be a napper like brother, she falls asleep for maybe 20 minutes and is up with a burst of energy after it. Works out well since she's sleeping longer at night time.
I took advantage of hubby and paid off bills and did the budget for the next two months, I have about 200 dollars left for books in gift cards for the next 4 to 5 months so I'll have to be very selective of which ones I want physical copies of. , but emergency money takes priority because you never know, if nothing happens December is going to be .
Well, my dad just called me, told me my son has now officially joined the cursing toddler crew, but he said that at least it's in a different language, he's only upset Leo didn't say it in Spanish (my dad's 1st language). I did hear him say it last night when he dropped a toy, but ignored it (which I will continue to do so he just forgets it, if that doesn't work I'll have to come up with something else...)
is the word by they way. My mom's go to curse word for dropping things, lol! I don't laugh or react when any of the nieces or nephew say the words in any of the languages (or used to at around that age) because they want to see the reaction of us adults.
mjbett I say get a representative to help you out, I keep track of all my purchases on a credit card, anything I see I didn't buy I report it to my bank and then amazon. I have two kids now, and even though I breast feed, formula ain't cheap. That and no one is gonna get a piece of my hard earned money unless I say so.

linviolet - You know the saying "Monkey see monkey do"? With toddlers its "monkey hear monkey say". Ha! I think you're right to ignore hoping he'll forget. I have a few favorite authors that I prefer to buy physical copy. Not many but to me it's worth the extra $$.

I guess mentally, I've always interpreted it as a woman raising the kid(s) on her own; no help from the father(s) financially or physically. So dealing with work, budget, kids, raising, etc.

I've not had any gift card activity since October but my history is still there, along with my zero balance. I'm afraid you may have to contact Amazon. (sorry!) Have you logged out & logged back into Amazon; maybe it acts like a bit of a reboot? Good luck!

Yes going to ignore it, we had been careful with our cursing but sometimes it happens, and my mom is the kind that curses only when she knows/thinks the kids aren't around to hear, kids won't hear "pick that up please" but a curse word a mile away they will hear it, lol. He came in from the park, my dad and the twins and youngest niece also stayed a while and just before they left Leo tripped over a blanket (he put on the floor to sit) and said
looked around to see our reactions. Kids will be kids but my nieces and nephew thankfully didn't react (at least not in front of us, lol!) and Leo just went on with his walking.
As for the physical copies of books, I usually buy the ones that I love on KU or if I like a cover of a book (but only if I read it) and want to add it to my library of books. So I'm hoping no automatic buy authors for me publish anything until at least November or December lol! And that I don't find a good book that I would want to add to my collection. I do mostly e books, and the free ones are even better but sometimes the good ones I need in my hands to smell, to touch, to turn their pages, jeez I sound deranged a bit there but a reader understands what I mean.

Mine is showing. I hope yours will return soon.
Regards, Kareni
just checked mine, and it is working correctly. It is also a lot larger than I thought. Hmmm, which wish books should I buy? BTW try saying that quickly
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true.

I'm not seeing problems with the gift card balance, but Amazon seems to be in the middle of reorganizing the way that you manage your account content over this last week. I've ended up turning off WiFi so I don't see "Updating your Kindle Store Experience" flash across my screen and not be able to keep on reading from my current place without restarting my device. This is just in the last day or so that they've been agressively trying to "update" (aka degrade) my Kindle Store experience in such a way that recently loaded content isn't where it was. (In one instance I was told there was nothing in my Library, although it was possible to get back to the book I was reading -- just everything else seemed to have disappeared from the home screen. )
In the web browser, it appears as though they are setting up for bulk transactions rather than individual ones (I can still transfer content as long as I check the box beside the title for the content, but just going into the submenu for that book to select different devices to update doesn't completely work -- it's as though someone were constantly fiddling with the settings and not allowing some items to actually update (your selection is there but partially greyed out as though in limbo status because somebody turned it off for a short period -- not for every book, but just kind of randomly) That's separate from the notice of how my "Kindle Store experience" is being updated -- which shows up on my device. If you want to "just say no" you can turn off your Wi-Fi to ensure random updates don't simply happen -- even if you get messages that Amazon wants to update your Kindle Store experience on your Kindle.
As a work-around to see the individual transactions, if you can't do this right now from the display of your gift card balance, you can go to the listing of digiital orders and and see a time ordered listing of transactions in your browser. Not the greatest, but if they are tinkering with the way this is displaye now, at least you can get the information.
Wow, Ariane, I've not seen any of those notices & I was reading for quite a while this morning on my Kindle with the Wifi turned on. Sure wish they'd quit monkeying around with things--they're so sure they know what we want, but do they ever ask? Instead, I think it's all designed/chosen by techs who never read a book, let alone read on the Kindle. Yep, gets me irritated!
