Ugh. I got summoned to jury duty. How do I get out of this?! I have absolutely NO-ONE to watch my child. Hence why I'm a stay at home mom. I have no transportation at all. I don't have family or friends to help. And the place is a hour and some minutes away. There is no way I'm able to go. So what I'm gonna end up in jail over something I have no control over? 😠
I live in NJ and I just called and explained I was a SAHM and they said, ok no problem and took me off of it for the next 5 years!
When i got served i wrote a letter telling them i was breastfeeding and my doc signed it and i was dismissed. But that was TN
@karenr1408 thank-you I wish I found out in the at like 10am lol. My anxiety is so bad I couldn't sleep.
@butterfli_luv definitely going to call tomorrow/today. I have proof I don't have any income nor do I own any vehicle. I'm praying to god they just dismiss me.
@erikasmiles123, I hope you get it all solved out, try not to stress about it since like you said it’s out of your hands.
@daniellevonkotz that's what I'm going to call tomorrow about. I make nothing at all. The state knows I don't have income.. idk how in the heck my name even got in there lol.
@butterfli_luv Yes. It says I'm on call for 2 week's. I know there's no way I'll be able to go. Scared the cops will just show up at my door and take me to jail.
This is what’s online. I went to mine when they called me and they asked me if I could get a babysitter and my answer was yes so they chose me. But I know people who have called and say they are the only one who can take care of the kids an got excused.
@karenr1408 I agree. I've been up all night with anxiety over it. Even though it's out of my hands.
@erikasmiles123, Wow that is just ridiculous you don’t go you’re in trouble you arrive and still get in trouble. They really need to fix these exceptions
@karenr1408 1 mom here in Michigan didn't have child care so she showed up with her child and got arrested. Blows my mind
@karenr1408 I'm going to call. But I was told by people who had to go that, that wasn't good enough if they had to do it with one mom who had a small child they would have to dismiss every mom who had similar problems.
I went online and filled the form out and said I had no one to watch my twins. They let me off the hook the next day. I didn’t even need a doctors note or proof.
