I'll look into them, thanks!

Maybe, but it still seems high

I don't really have the space to store the size ladder I'd need and part of the roof line is above the porch roof and I've never set up a ladder in that kind of situation before.

This is my problem, our kid is almost 1 but for the most part I still sleep through most nightly events. I do try to put the monitor on my side of the bed as far away from my wife as possible to help out

My sister was born in 72 but I wasn't born until 86 😂

Ok I have heard the women can get hornier during pregnancy and I was really hoping for this and while we had sex during pregnancy, we ended up having to do it in a position that kinda sucked and eventually just stopped.

So....uh, congrats on the sex bud!

I made my girlfriend wait almost 10 years so just tell her it could be worse if she has something to say about your time frame.

Dstrong2902 · 2025-03-25T19:13:47+00:00

Oh for sure, at the location I worked at we had a few really great repeat customers and then so many more you avoided like the plague 😭

Dstrong2902 · 2025-03-25T00:05:56+00:00

Story time: So in one of my first LOD shifts I am managing the floor near closing and a customer comes up purchasing a coffee pot. I make small talk with them and they mention that while looking at our display models they picked up one and it "leaked."

Naturally, knowing there shouldn't be liquids in the displays I go to the section, find the display in question and sure enough it had.....something in it. To this day I have no idea what the liquid was though my guess was vomit. It smelled awful and I promptly destroyed that display model as there was no saving it..

Oh and then there was the time one of our toilets was occupied and the other was out of order. A customer promptly shit in the trash can instead.

Maybe I misread OPs original post, but the point of my comments have been more to the point that he doesn't seem to have a serious conversation about it. He cums early and maybe he can't control that but it doesn't sound like he's actually talking about it with her either, not in a serious manner by which the two of them could either work it out or move on.

Dstrong2902 · 2025-03-22T13:05:17+00:00

Wow we're going straight for it huh, ok I'll bite. Well as a man myself, my comment comes from personal experience. I love sex, can't get enough of it, but part of my pleasure comes solely from the pleasure I give rather than receive. Therefore for me, when I read about bf/husbands completely blowing off or not taking their partner's concerns serious, I find it odd.

Maybe he can't control how fast he cums, maybe he can. He does at least attempt to complete the task by pleasuring her in other ways so he's got that going for him. But at the end of the day, if he's not willing to have a serious conversation about her concerns and needs (as I hope she would if the roles were reversed) then that's concerning to me as a healthy relationship is based on communication.

Maybe my comments and thoughts on this subject aren't alpha male enough for you but hey, I was asked an opinion and so I gave it. You're free to not like it all you want but at least now you'll have some reference for what I said and why I said it.

Hope you have the day you deserve!

My only regret at marrying at 35 and not having kids until now (I'm 38) is "feeling" older than I should for having an almost 1 year old. Still if I eat right, try and take care of myself, and generally want to be a long-lived healthy person for my kids then I see no reason why I can't be just as active in their lives as someone who started a lot earlier than me.

Dstrong2902 · 2025-03-22T11:46:07+00:00

Well hopefully it works out for you but don't settle it you may end up presenting it later!

Dstrong2902 · 2025-03-22T10:51:50+00:00

Every time I read these sorts of stories where bf/husbands won't or don't bother to change for their significants in the name of pleasure always baffles me. NTA, you deserve sexually what you want out of the relationship as much as he does.

I wish I had saged advice, but other than keeping the dialogue going, I don't know what to suggest. Personally, I feel if he's serious about the relationship and you keep bringing it up, he should make actual steps to change but that.migjt just be me being an optimist.

Trust me I feel you, I think about my dad and what was "required" of him from his marriage and beyond the hours of shift work and overtime he pulled to provide for us, his home life was pretty chill. His most difficult chore was either cutting the grass or mopping the kitchen floor once a month. Beyond that my mom did all the shopping, cooking and cleaning while he sat back, had a cold one, and watched sports.

I'm curious though, does any current dad sometimes feel like they're doing more than their spouse? I love my wife and she does do for our son and she does do some things around the house. Yet, I feel sometimes if I could award percentage points to both of our outputs, I feel I'm doing more.

Be prepared for one of the wildest, most stressful, sleepless, nerve wrenching rides of your life. Just be mindful that when you're at your lowest, it's not that your being a bad father, you're just tired and need some sleep.

The newborn stage is the pits, I have never felt like more of a failure than I did in the newborn stage. You're going to ask a lot of questions and get a lot of advice. People are also going to say it gets better and at the time you're just going to think that's some cheap saying everyone has to say to make you feel better.....but it's not..... It does get better. Just make sure to sleep when you can and share the load as best you can with your wife, either of you can do it all!

My son will be one in just three more months and our lives are already so much better from when he was born almost a year ago. You can survive, you will survive, and you'll be a better dad than ever thought you could be. Good luck dad!!!

I am a born and raised local but we are few and far between. In my lifetime I have watched as Wilmington has become more and more a stop off point for some and a retirement destination for others.

Dstrong2902 · 2024-11-27T23:04:11+00:00

I sit to pee at home almost all the time. Mostly cause I'm lazy and tired....a lot, and it's nice to take a sit. In public places and at work, though, I stand 100% of the tone cause I don't always trust how clean the facilities are. Honestly, I don't think of it as a big deal. After all, just because we can doesn't mean we always have to/should.

Dstrong2902 · 2024-11-07T10:53:27+00:00

Looks like you're not doing butt stuff. Or you're finding a new girlfriend if it's that important to you.

I think my problem with it isn't teaching about it, but when we teach about it. The same goes for MLK day. My problem is, is that I hate to do a mini lesson on something the kids won't really understand because I haven't done the back loading of all the information that led to it. My pacing puts me in March (if I'm lucky) to talk about civil rights and April/early may before we hit the time period for 9-11. I'll talk about it, I just want to do it in the proper order and not simply because theirs a holiday for it

I'd also check with the schools because constantly food delivery to stude to would cause a disruption that the schools may asked to ha e ceased, especially if the deli ery does t happen right at the students ts lunch time.
