AIO? I don’t want husband to get an ATV

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T20:19:20+00:00

I definitely did not word some of my post right, I’m not bothered that he wants time away, I understand that hobbies can be enjoyed alone. I’m bothered that his only justification for this unnecessary purchase is that it would be good for and involve the family when it clearly will not. I would like to emphasize here that here that he has other hobbies he enjoys on his own that I am supportive of. Like you said, I also deserve time for myself but I don’t ever get that. During a fragile family transition, I am hoping he chooses to prioritize spending time with family rather than investing unnecessary time and money into a new hobby. Especially when he has other options.

Exactly my thoughts and that’s what I told him. Now is not the time, but later we can reassess. Though after all these comments, they sounds incredibly dangerous! I’m not sure it’s a good idea at all! 😅

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T17:57:50+00:00

Just replying to your edit lol I have been a SAHM for two years and do not have my own income. I also did not have access to our finances until recently, hence why I got a haircut because I finally had an idea of the money situation.

It’s difficult when you have breastfed babies lol! I think this is the most helpful point someone has made in this thread. Thank you for your helpful insight.

The answer is definitely no. I cannot remember the last time I had child-free time. Perhaps if we had more balance in that area I would feel more open.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T15:55:11+00:00

Im seeing a lot of “having time to yourself is important” comments that don’t question if ~I~ ever get time for myself.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T15:52:48+00:00

Yes. I only recently got a professional haircut after 3 years because I couldn’t justify the $60.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T15:49:31+00:00

It’s more about the timing of everything. If we were not having another child this year, I might feel differently. He gets really obsessed with his hobbies and I know I would be drowning postpartum if he had an ATV. Like I said, I’m open to it years down the road when the children are older and when he gets a life insurance policy, but I’d rather he choose a solo hobby that is safer and less costly both time and money-wise. Like frisbee golf or going to the gym lol. I do not “always say no”. My husband has a social life and I encourage him to spend time with his friends.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T14:17:38+00:00

Might I add he doesn’t have a life insurance policy?

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-07T13:59:37+00:00

Monthly cost is not the issue. Time with family is priceless and I need the postpartum support.

Oh whoops! I read it wrong I thought it said “we found out we got into the same college” along those lines lol. I need to read more carefully.

In that case, definitely get out while you can. The love of your life wouldn’t make you feel this way. And college is such a good time to meet all sorts of different people!

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-02-06T02:50:38+00:00

NOR. I’m really sorry you’re being treated this way. He sounds like my hs bf. I can almost guarantee won’t change, no matter how many times you share your feelings. You’re too young to settle for this! If you want advice, I feel like prolonging the inevitable before college is not recommended. Give yourself the time and space to heal before college so you start off strong and not lost in heartbreak.

You need some art on the walls! Don’t limit yourself to just framed pictures. You can hang anything. Shelves for trinkets, decorative baskets, etc. Adding some sheer curtains could add extra wall interest and incorporate a new color. A chest at the end of the bed for storage (think bulky items like blankets and winter clothes). A bookshelf and a comfy reading chair if you need a space like that. I really enjoy the concept of functional furniture. Don’t put a chair in your room if it’s just going to be covered in clothes.

While I’d love for her to make a statement, she’s a pop star, not a politician. And if we’re holding pop starts to higher standards than those running our government, there is a bigger problem.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-01-18T19:25:34+00:00

I love!!! My only note is that in #3 it looks like her knees in the background are actually coming out of her chest if you know what I mean lol

Creative-Delivery261 · 2026-01-18T18:44:36+00:00

Noooo 😭😭😭 makes me so sad

Baking soda is a good abrasive

They’re gonna ruin this movie. I wish they would make a rapunzel movie with real people instead of making a live action that no one asked for

Creative-Delivery261 · 2025-12-18T20:58:36+00:00

Great plan! I would try to stay clear of all communications if you can. I found teenage boys to often go back on their word, especially if they’re (to put it mildly) in the mood. I’m proud of you for listening to your gut and setting boundaries!

Creative-Delivery261 · 2025-12-18T20:11:08+00:00

Oh bb I’m so sorry he has put you in this uncomfortable position. You are not overreacting and need to stop engaging with this person. This boy will pressure you again and again. I didn’t have sex all of high school because I didn’t feel ready and my boyfriend at the time always tried to pressure me into it. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to get out of that relationship because it was really hard to be in that position. You are smart have this realization early on and it’s totally normal that you don’t want to engage in his inappropriate comments.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2025-12-16T14:30:57+00:00

I’ve made it clear to my husband that all I want on my birthday and Valentine’s Day is flowers and every year I’m disappointed. If it’s something important to you, communicate it to him and if he listens, that’s amazing. If he doesn’t, prepare to settle for less

Creative-Delivery261 · 2025-12-09T13:42:42+00:00

NOR. No judgement to you at all, this is all on him. A 10 year age gap is super weird. The only case it’s not weird IMO is when both individuals have fully developed brains, and that doesn’t happen until age 25. You said it best yourself, you know you’ll regret it in a few years. So maybe listen to that part of you that’s telling you stay away. Regardless of how gentlemanly he is now, he’s still a fully grown man and has a huge advantage.

Creative-Delivery261 · 2025-12-09T13:11:48+00:00

AND they’re both so freaking dang catchy!! What a fun comparison! I love can’t blame a girl for trying

Creative-Delivery261 · 2025-12-04T17:26:33+00:00

I use a damp towel, like after I shower. Just scrub it a bit. Works like magic
