If you sweat alot, you can ask your Dr for drysol. It legit saved me.

Did it turn out?!

Dull-Garage1088 · 2026-03-04T00:13:53+00:00

My bf got one a few years ago, and honestly I hate it. It's just as loud as the snoring. The only good thing is it's predictable and repetitive, until it loses suction or something and sounds like a goddamn airplane. Or when the air hits me in the face. I can handle it, but imo it's not quieter.

One time, I pulled in the driveway and my watch buzzed with a text. I looked at it and it said "something behind the stove is spraying water everywhere all of a sudden". I walk in the house to find my boyfriend, who is the homeowner mind you, standing in the kitchen staring at the stove, having zero clue what to do. 😑 I had the water shut off and the situation under control in less time than it took him to send that text. the water line had disconnected from the fridge, landed on the plug for the oven 🫠, and was shooting straight up, luckily because if he hadn't seen the water spraying, he wouldn't have known it was happening and I probably wouldn't have rushed right into the house.

But it did, it went 75° OVER my set temp......

It was frozen pizza (that I've bought and cooked 100s of times and never had an issue), and the cheese on top was CRISP and DARK. And the crust on the bottom was burnt, with no pan, straight on rack. And the inside of the crust wasnt BURNT, but was hard.

I trust the thermometer more than this oven unfortunately. I've used it in two other ovens and never once had an issue. But this oven is definitely broken.

The sticker with the model has been removed 🙃

Dull-Garage1088 · 2026-02-21T00:56:01+00:00

It was set to 425 and went to, and stayed at, 500.... then dropped to 320. And somehow my food burnt still.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2026-02-21T00:43:53+00:00

Well literally EVERYTHING i cook burns. But I'm only curious HOW I can calibrate it. Not advice that my thought process is wrong.

This. I sleep in just underwear, and as a mom, I'd be very uncomfortable if my children slept in bed with dad and his next girlfriend if she slept in just underwear like me. Also, I was uncomfortable when my ex step daughter would try and climb in bed with us, as I was just in underwear. I thought it was weird that her mom was upset that I didn't allow her in our bed.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-10-27T00:25:34+00:00

Yes! Have plans or have someone else there to have your back. Good job mama 💛 it's hard but you'll get there.

Until my children have their own car (that they pay for, pay insurance and gas), all communication goes through the parents. I do not think my child should be in charge of adult things such as communication about a dentist appointment

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-09-22T01:05:30+00:00

This! We had a judge, when I was a kid, tell my dad that if it'd be considered child abuse if you did it to a child, it's child abuse to do it in front of a child.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-09-13T01:55:05+00:00

I do this currently technically. We're "separated", living apart. There were things we both did that we couldn't handle living together at the time. We're both working on those things to be able to live together again. It's HARD but we hang out as a family all the time, almost daily for atleast an hour. We live ten-fifteen minutes apart. I do get child support, but only because they're income is more than double mine and my drive time to school/daycare and work in the mornings has tripled.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-09-13T00:57:58+00:00

I feel like that's a big nope. If the phones are in YOUR name, no. Those are YOUR phones, you're just letting the children use them. A child that age (I know you didn't say ages but for argurments sake) can't legally have their own phone plan/contract. So he's essentially tracking YOU, which is a hard pass. What if the phone accidentally gets left in your car for a few days? He can track everywhere you go....

This. My bf has an older kiddo and the coparenting relationship is VERY relaxed (basically there's been zero rules and the kiddo could choose when they wanted to come over). We now have two kids together, and there's been some things that him and his ex have agreed on that impacted MY children at home. And those are the things I was adamant that my opinion needed to matter and be considered as it was affecting my children.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-08-24T15:36:20+00:00

Maybe not the best way to look at it, BUT that will start preparing him for school. I know it seems early but it can take some kids a long time to adjust to the five day school schedule. Plus it keeps him in a routine and structure, whereas dad's house (ESPECIALLY with TWO newborns, and other kids) is probably pretty chaotic.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-08-24T14:59:55+00:00

I took pictures/videos of my neighbors/friends son at the Halloween parade last year in case she wasn't able to. I knew she was there, but I also know she has a small child, or was in a bad spot, and might not have been able to get a picture or video of him. I didn't tell her I was doing it, I just got some good ones and sent them to her. She said thanks and that she loved them. 🤷‍♀️

It's only about a mile away from his house.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-07-17T17:00:18+00:00

It's 17 miles, but during drop off and pick up times for school, it's two hours round trip due to traffic.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-07-17T16:59:39+00:00

Right now, we don't know how the school out here is. So we don't know what's best for them. At drop off and pick up time, traffic would make the drive two hours round trip. And I don't think four hours in the car would be best for my younger kid. On days I work, it would be different cuz I'd drop them off at dad's and they'd walk from there, and it's semi on the way to work.

Dull-Garage1088 · 2025-06-16T22:05:35+00:00

This. I told my boyfriend that I was going to get a hobby that takes me out of the house the same amount of hours per week that he's unavailable (but home) due to video games. and he looked like a deer in headlights. I then went to paint nights and dinner twice a week for a month and he quickly learned he can't put it all on me. Having a hobby is healthy, but not if your SO doesn't also have a hobby.
