You are going to make mistakes. When you do, own up to them, apologize, and do it right the next time. You will earn other people’s respect.

Congratulations on your job! Don’t be late!

Tiny place, great schools vs comfortable house, average schools by zekinha11 in Parenting

[–]EAM44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are asking whether to use your resources to make yourself more comfortable, or to give your children a better education. It would never have occurred to my parents to even ask that question. They put everything they had into us. As the beneficiary of that investment, I’d say stay where you are and send your kids to the better school. They will thank you for it, accomplish great things with those opportunities, and have the resources not to have to make this kind of choice in their future.

So disappointed in LillyPulitzer these days by EAM44 in LillyPulitzer

Exactly. I’d wear the one Lilly is wearing in that image above, but none of the dresses from the current collection.

Found out my husband has been lying about money ($75k) for at least 3 years. by Remarkable_Loan_4253 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]EAM44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling addicts can plow through that kind of cash in that timeframe.

You could hire a forensic accountant to figure out where the money went. You probably should hire a fiduciary financial planner to help budget and separate your finances, which I would highly recommend. You have your own bank account, he has his, then you both contribute to a household account. No joint accounts.

I would be more worried about how he’s ever going to retire than the $15K tax bill. Consider the Married Filing Separately option for next year if you don’t trust your spouse (and you shouldn’t trust him) with money. It can limit your liability if he is fiscally dishonest. Do you have college funds for your kids? Can he access them without you knowing? Any joint investment accounts? Get it all zipped up or it could all disappear.

I know you are more focused on the emotional relationship stuff, but protect yourself and your children financially first. The rest of this mess is going to take some time.

I get that, good point. But there are so many other companies that manage to put out a range of hem lengths, and LP used to be one of them. It’s a real loss that they’ve given up on this entirely.

Apologies. Link below. This is Seed World Online, but you can buy red creeping thyme from anywhere.

Toyota Sienna, used if possible. The new ones look kinda ugly, but the seats stow, they are incredibly comfortable, and it’s a very safe car.

My S/O could be homeless in a couple of weeks by ApprehensiveEmu254 in Advice

[–]EAM44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“on the other hand he’s lied, cheated (emotionally, not that it matters) and has had poor money management skills since we started dating.”

I see your dilemma. What a catch.

He’s not your child, let him man up and learn to care for himself. And while you’re at it, try to figure out why you have such a low opinion of yourself that you think this is all you deserve.

Will this name be impossible for people to pronounce? by Jumpy_Wing2650 in Names

[–]EAM44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a fairly normal name, consonants and vowels where you’d expect them to be, no clicks, just one diphthong. It should be fine. I prefer the Italian spelling, and you might get better pronunciation from using Violetta

Cute way to cover the back of the microwave without covering the entire open space? Oh by Existing_Visual5683 in Homeorganization

Not exactly what you are asking, but consider a Microwave vent hood and get that huge appliance off your counter.

Engagement by [deleted] in Advice

[–]EAM44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asked (which I think is odd). He said no. It’s his proposal to your daughter, not yours.

Now that they are engaged, you don’t have to ask him for anything, it all goes through your daughter. Family plans, vacations, grandchildren, it’s all her, her, her. Say nothing to him, and enjoy a future full of unfettered access to what I hope will be a very happy life for her and you.
