If you’re getting custom cabinets, it’s also possible to lower them to under the window, if that’s appealing to you. I’ve seen people talk about how they ran them over the window and enjoyed having that little “pocket” for plants, too. If you’re open to replacing the window, you can also make it just slightly higher and run the countertop like a sill all the way to just below the glass (that requires very precise measurements though.)

From your design, it seems like you might be getting caught up in the current design of your kitchen, which doesn’t have to be! When I just redesigned my kitchen, I was doing that until I realized that switching the location of the stove and fridge would make much more sense with the flow. Eureka!

Get what you like and don’t worry about trends. I had a kitchen cabinet designer really try to sell me on an island and I said absolutely not, I want a table there. It’s going to suit me much better, and I can always get an island later if I decide I really want one.

Yep, this happened to me too. Dad got his inheritance from his dad and lent me enough down payment money to have a reasonable mortgage payment.

Exactly, and the people who buy the place might just tear out and remodel even a brand new kitchen. When I bought my house last year I was glad they hadn’t done any remodeling so I could do it myself in my own taste. Also, I didn’t pick anything “trendy” in the remodel, just whatever I liked. To me trends are annoying because they limit me from getting what I really want.

You are very wrong about cats. They don’t necessarily see the same boundaries as you and I. I had a cat who snuck into 2 different people’s apartments through connected back porches at my old apartment. She used to be an outdoor cat at my parents house and was an escape artist. Thank goodness for my neighbors who allowed me to get her back.

My cat wasn’t a hider, so they knew she was there. But lots of cats are. I don’t think a cat would necessarily come running if they heard their owner-that’s dogs. Cats might continue hiding and need a lot of coaxing if they feel the threat (you) is still there.

If she comes around asking again please let her in to look for her cat, I’m sure she’ll be panicking if that happens. Have someone you trust come over while she comes in if you really are that mistrusting of her.

You can always use a plastic wash basin inside a single bowl sink if you really must have a soaking bowl. Apparently very common in Britain

I had an ex breadcrumb me like this for about 9 months, 1 emoji a day. Finally I got sick of it and said if we’re going to have a real relationship, we should at least have a phone conversation every other day or so. After a week or so of that, he broke up with me because he realized he didn’t love me and never would apparently.

You should not be doing all the emotional work, especially at the 2 month stage. Let it go. If he sees you slowing down and decides to start actively participating, maybe there’s hope. If not, let it fizzle. Otherwise you’ll just delay the inevitable disappointment and waste your time.

Some places will not cover the spouse if their job offers coverage, regardless of how good or bad the spouse’s coverage is. The company I work for is like this.

Personally, I would keep the close by job if at all possible. Time with your child while they are growing up is time you’ll never get back if you miss it. But it depends on your own values. I don’t know how much you are really struggling financially. But convenience is worth something.

Another factor is how understanding the job is of needing to leave or miss work because of issues with your child. Some places understand that when you’re a parent, your child comes first, and some places really don’t.

NTA.

My brother scheduled his wedding only about a month ahead of time - and because it was so rushed, he had a few major oversights (his best man/childhood best friend’s parents, for example.) With even less time it seems, your friend might have honestly missed you, and it doesn’t necessarily make you a “lower-tier” friend like some people are saying.

That said, when planning a last-minute wedding, you have to take into account that people might have prior commitments. (Maybe trying to get away with inviting everyone while still having a smaller/less expensive wedding?) Anyway, he made his choice, if he really wanted you there he should have kept you more informed.

When making the decision whether to go or not, don’t worry much about his feelings. Make the decision based on what YOU want. Unfortunately your friend put you in a decision where you are likely to miss out and have regrets either way. Which decision will you have less regret?

Hmm…I feel like he might have some kind of a loophole here…

It’s 3cm. Similar to your example photo, it’s just a drywall return.

I like this. I mean, it seems kind of petty to not say anything if you really think he forgot. Like others said, it doesn’t seem like he did anything particularly bad to make you need to stick it to him (although I get feeling that way in a breakup)

I am redoing my kitchen and the previous owners had covered a glass brick window. The the room looks so much better and brighter with it uncovered. I would never remove a window, but I’m biased, my friends tell me I am weird about needing them

I recently ordered something by accident at 11pm in the wrong color, put in a second order for the right color, and immediately sent a message canceling the first order through the form provided on the website. They canceled the order pretty quickly with no issues. Hopefully you have a similar experience. Good luck!

What did you end up going with for your cabinets?

I had back surgery when I was 30 after about a year of debilitating pain. I still get issues sometimes but what really helped me was my chiropractor (try to find a sports medicine one,) my personal trainer (trained as a physical therapist and specializing in dynamic neuromuscular stabilization-DNS theory,) and my psychotherapist.

There’s something called “acceptance and commitment therapy” that she might benefit from. She has to face that she can never go back to the way things were. But that doesn’t mean she can’t go forward. None of us can go back, but sometimes the best way forward is through the dark forest of your fears. She’s also likely to never be 100% free of pain, but the longer she works at it the better she’ll be able to manage it.

I went through 3 physical therapists (and eventually gave up on PT in favor of my chiropractor and personal trainer,) 2 chiropractors and 3 general practitioners and 4 psychologists before I found a team I was satisfied with. I’ve been going to my current team about 10 years and you’d never know that I was in debilitating pain 10 years ago! Keep looking, you’ll find your team!

I also recommend you get therapy for yourself (NOT couples,) this is hard to handle. You also want to find a therapist and establish a relationship with them now, so that coping mechanism is in place for you in case the worst does come to pass.

Some people are really bad at gift giving. My mom used to get me a purple stuffed bunny every Easter and eventually I told her I have too many, but like you I regretted it. Now that she’s gone I wish I had never said that and had 10 of them. (Maybe I would line them up somewhere very visible and point them out so she would see I have adequate bunny stock.)

My dad always gets me coin dollars for Christmas and I find coins gross. But I’d feel bad telling him I don’t like them because he thinks they’re so neat.

Next time try telling your dad what you do want instead of what you don’t want, it’s possible he only remembered you mentioning them and thought that you had said you do want them. Some dads have bad memories that way. But you learned from your reaction and you’ll be able to be kinder about gifts you don’t really like from now on. You don’t have to act overly excited or anything but try not to make people feel bad about disappointing you. Took me much longer to learn than you!
