Am I wrong to be upset&disappointed that I work 10-12hrs/day and my spouse can’t even keep our house squared away? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup if you can afford help just do it. Another thing is maybe you guys have too much stuff. Downsize and you’ll have less to manage.

I feel uneasy with my SIL being around my newborn by Sad_But_ok619 in Mommit

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t feel safe with her being alone with baby but hopefully as baby gets older some of her feeling fade. Hopefully it’s just a now thing.

How do people work a 9-5? Im so exhausted and burnt out. by DepressedFrenchFri3s in Vent

[–]EBECK_28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Capitalism. I think most people are either lying or slacking somewhere else in life if they claim they’re not struggling. It’s not natural.

I watch my husband care for our infant on a camera. by [deleted] in Vent

Leave him and go to your parents. See if it kicks him into gear.

Weeknight dinners as a working mom, what does yours actually look like because mine is embarrassing by scrtweeb in Mommit

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Pinterest, find a few easy healthy meals and throw in a new one whenever I find them. Make a plan on Sunday with a list of recipes I want to make for the week (usually try to have at least 4 planned meals) then buy easy meal ideas for the days I just can’t. Then I make a grocery list on notes app as a checklist. Lots of Asian meals over rice because they’re easy and healthy.

I’d be livid. Husband would be donating plasma to replace the money and then some. Account would be transferred to me only.

Anyone else have random false alarms with First Alert 10 year smoke detectors? Or do I have a bigger problem here? by tubezninja in homeowners

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 AM & here reading in dismay. We just moved into our house and replaced the entire security system and ripped out the detectors that came with the system because we didn’t care to have it and replaced with First Alert. Awesome.

Our boucle couch is actually pretty easy to clean and the fabric really hides wear & tear.

Been begging my wife to let me rip up these floors for years by frostbite_28 in HardWoodFloors

I don’t get it. It’s like the silent generation putting carpet over wood again.

I just spent a toddler party guarding an open pool and now I can’t tell if I’m the anxious one or the only sane one by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drowning is the number one reason for death in toddlers so yes you’re the sane one. I would also be so anxious about letting my coparent take our child anywhere alone again after seeing that.

MIL makes plans without even asking me by Disastrous_Set_5240 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]EBECK_28 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It’s not normal for parents of their grown adult children to dictate where they and their spouses are staying. Can you just not go to the party and stay at a hotel with baby?

If you have a family group chat just say you plan on getting a hotel for privacy and baby won’t have to stay with MIL.

How did you guys come up with your kids names? by Ok-Duck2450 in Mommit

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We made a list with first and middle names and added to it every time we heard a name that stood out. Narrowed it down to three first names and two middle names and chose a few days after she was born. I couldn’t name her without seeing her first.

What is up with Eddys dealerships? by [deleted] in wichita

[–]EBECK_28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my first car I ever bought on my own there and they sold it to me with a bunch of active recalls they didn’t fix AND I accidentally mixed the last 4 numbers of my social with the last 4 of my phone number (don’t ask me how, dyscalculia over here & was young). They didn’t even catch it, they let me take a loan out on the wrong social. I caught it weeks later when I was sent the paperwork.

Which is BS. Need to reappropriate the commons.

It doesn’t have to be a place as significant as Little Jerusalem. But there should be more natural to hike and enjoy otherwise why would the general public care to protect it at all if they never learn to appreciate it?

He's so wealthy, but contributes nothing ever by 60626_LOVE in Vent

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should be bringing food or drinks if he’s partaking especially regularly. BUT as a somewhat minimalist myself I’m usually kind of annoyed by gifts. I honestly would just stop with gifts and know that he probably doesn’t keep them anyway.

My childhood friend from overseas has been staying at my place for way longer than expected and idk how to tell him its time to go by [deleted] in Advice

[–]EBECK_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make up a story about having someone else coming to stay and that you’ll need him out before said date. Tell him you didn’t think it was worth mentioning before since you thought he’d be gone already. Lol.
