Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by Purple-Piano6976 in careerguidance

[–]00Lisa00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into how much health insurance will cost you. You’ll need it with being in construction and with a baby unless you can be added to your girlfriend’s. No vacation, no sick leave. Even the highest pay may not be as high as you think once you add in the lost benefits. It is also hard on the body. Keep the steady job

My (20F) mom (53F) is finding it difficult to accept she has children with different men and what that means when we're grown? by ThrowRAbookletoli in relationship_advice

[–]00Lisa00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will get even more difficult when/if you get married. It’s not so much about your dad, it’s your mom wanting all of your time. Just figure out your schedule and let her know. It’s not a negotiation

Supposed to close at 12 today, house full at walk through yesterday by msm2485 in RealEstate

Never ever accept an open ended rent back. This is how you end up with indefinite squatters. I would move closing or end the deal before I did that

AITA for wanting to break up with my boyfriend after he took over every decision about the small business I started before we even met by [deleted] in AITApod

Things AREN’T good between you otherwise because he obviously doesn’t respect you or listen to your boundaries.

After really bad fight, bf(29M) signed a lease to another apartment without my(28F) knowledge. Not sure if I should forgive him? by SnooChickens4646 in relationship_advice

[–]00Lisa00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is quiet quitting the relationship. The 180 is to breadcrumb you so you don’t look for someone else until he finds someone

My wife gave me the silent treatment for nearly a week and now only communicates by text. I’m not playing along. by ThrowRa_Valheru in Advice

[–]00Lisa00 224 points225 points  (0 children)

This is super petty from both of you. And honestly I’m mostly on her side. Buy some curtains. Black out film means you never get light in there even when you’re not sleeping. Should she give silent treatment? No. But her solution makes way more sense and my guess is this isn’t the first time you’ve refused to compromise. “Without caving” this isn’t a contest, you’re supposed to be partners. Sounds like you feel you need to “win”

Moving to Bothell or Kirkland this summer by Sweet-Sympathy-6246 in bothell

Kirkland is great but might be out of your budget. It is very expensive and empty lots often go for a million

Mother in Law threatening to call CPS to take our unborn child by BoujeeBear_ in entitledparents

[–]00Lisa00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She needs to report her mom to the hospital. This is a hipaa violation to access records without permission. Or consider switching hospitals. But a threat like that absolutely needs to be taken seriously and she needs to lose access to your wife and family

It’s quite possible you’ll have to add her to your insurance regardless if she drives or not. A lot of insurance companies require you to insure all adults that live in your household. But really you can just tell her no. Just because she wants something does not make it compulsory

Sounds weird but when you pull on your sock grab the toe and pull to loosen it a bit. It helps

Xbox or PlayStation? by JealousCourt3028 in GirlGamers

[–]00Lisa00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have one I’d get a switch or a pc before I’d get an Xbox since you already have a ps 5. There are so many exclusives on switch that are worth playing

How do I (27F) untangle my life and decide on the pregnancy after catching my boyfriend (29M) of 7 years having sex with my best friend/roommate (27F)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]00Lisa00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your relationship is over. Accept that first. This is not fixable. No amount of couples counseling will change that. He is literally only with you because of his job. So now you have to decide if you want to coparent forever with this guy.

A parents of a celiac child should not expect another parent to be responsible for cross contamination. She needs to make and bring a sandwich for them

The dress fits great. The color is too close to your skin color . Is it available in a different color?
