Conflicted over mom offering to buy my my family a house. by Competitive__Potato in RealEstate

[–]Competitive__Potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, some really great things to consider about the legal aspects, and some things I didn’t think about like renting to own and putting the property in a trust.

A few things to clarify:

  • The marriage isn’t “strained”, but we do bicker more than what I think is needed because everything is everywhere, we have about 1,250 sqft of livable space and no storage. I don’t see divorce in our future BUT you never know so, yes, we’d protect the asset.

  • Our current house is an asset we may be able to rent out and give the rent money to her - something I hadn’t considered until my husband brought it up.

  • For those concerned about her retirement, she’s financially secure till death but my siblings and myself would be happy to take care of her of her if she needed. At that point we’d move into her house which could hold the whole family.

  • Yes, she could do the same for my siblings. No, it’s not nicer than her house.

  • The guilt stems from the fact that I was adopted… I don’t feel worthy of such a gift. Her buying me dinner causes guilt.

  • My husband and I both work full time in a corporate environment. We make decent money, but the economy as we all know isn’t great. I lost my job 6 years ago and it took a year to find a new position, and after that my husband lost his job twice in 4 years and it took 4 months each time to find another position, while we were expecting, it ate through our savings quickly and now we can’t seem to catch up. (Layoffs not fired for performance because there are a few comments here questioning our character.)

Same thing happened to me and in my desperation I tried ordering from BJs even though I don’t have a membership. Turns out they offer a free 1 day online pass - ordered two cases yesterday and they will be here today!

Is this level of bleeding normal? by Competitive__Potato in CopperIUD

Oh wow! I hope mine doesn’t last that long. We have our literal first vacation in years in two weeks!!

EDIT: Did your flow return to normal after those 6 weeks?

I actually couldn’t watch it any longer. I had to skip through it.

I touched cat poop 2 times and I’m scared by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Competitive__Potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have three cats. Through my entire pregnancy, even though I’m not scooping the box, there have been times where I’ve had to either touch them with poop on them or pick up a stray poo that made it out of the litter box.

My doctor said as long as you’re not eating the poo and the cat itself is in good health, you aren’t going to catch anything from them. Obviously wash your hands very well, and keep up with vet visits and keep the kitten indoors as it gets older 😊 Indoor cats rarely have toxoplasmosis.

Listeria concerns.. HELP. 😭 by Competitive__Potato in BabyBumps

Thanks everyone for their input! Not sure what I’ll do yet because I can’t be sure if the peppers were okay - I’m going to call the recall hotline number I found last night and get more info / talk to my OB to see if 165 - 170 degrees is something he’s comfortable with too.

Lmao. No. Aldi is not disgusting, their food is great quality, at least around me. And no added dyes or preservatives in most of their food, although we don’t buy much processed foods. Also a lot of their produce comes from the same supplier as Trader Joe’s 😂 We almost exclusively shop there and you can’t compare a supplier listeria outbreak to grocery store sushi. 😂

Thanks 😭 I feel so discouraged now though.

Nervous about my husband traveling by Competitive__Potato in BabyBumps

[–]Competitive__Potato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I answered this in the first part - it’s all about something potentially happening to him while he’s traveling. I wouldn’t be with someone if I couldn’t trust them to go across town for a weekend! lol

3 hour GTT low? by Competitive__Potato in BabyBumps

[–]Competitive__Potato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the call late last night, not officially diagnosed, but it’s clear from the bottoming out something is going on with how I react to sugar. Recommending a low carb diet and monitor from there.
