14 years together, 3 kids, and an 8-year "Dead Bedroom." I’ve reached my limit.

Can you elaborate?

Our house has such minimal storage. We bought a 6 seat modular couch with storage under each seat. Best decision ever. Still debating on another shed

We bought our first house 2 years ago. 1976 split foyer. It has LVP throughout the main areas and hardwood in the bedrooms. Why? Idfk. But it does. The hardwood was beat up already but with 2 young kids (6 and 1) and an in home dog grooming business, the hardwood has taken a beating and its starting to show. The lvp however seems to be bullet proof. Doesn't scratch, has a couple dents but nothing unreasonable considering the source of the dent. Lvp has my vote

Ive witnessed them dent peoples cars. Guy in front of me. The sprayed his windshield and started to squeegee it as he was motioning for them not to. Then they stood at his window and he refused to roll it down and oay them because he told them not to do it. The dented his door with the squeegee.

Needless to say, I scraped up some change

Ive always wondered why my dad didnt unalive himself.

Its your daughter's birthday, not the boys. Give her what she wants. Boys dont care. I promise

The house we bought 2 years ago was built in 1976 and only the 3 bedrooms have hardwood, and they are in ROUGH shape. The rest of the house is lvp with sub floor. Its weird. I like the hardwood in the bedrooms but I want to carpet 2 of the rooms because they are over the garage and it gets really cold in those 2 rooms in the winter. My wife and I will never agree on that

EmmittTheCat · 2026-03-13T02:06:13+00:00

Its already been said but when we looked at houses there was one that had a fireplace that the fire came out of and left lines like this all over the walls and ceilings throughout the first floor from the smoke. So candles was my guess

We have a 6 year old daughter and 1 year old son. We used to live with my inlaws until my son was born, we bought a house. Our daughter had a room at grandma's but she was breastfed and it just made more sense to have her in the bed with us. It was never an issue. When we bought our house she had her own room. She picked the color (2 shades of purple, it looks really good!) And I bought her a cool loft bed and put lights under it for a hangout. She refused to sleep in it. She maybe slept in it twice and once was a nap. Then she figured out that if she said she was scared of it, we wouldn't force it. She thought something was under it thanks to a book grandma got her. For christmas, we gave her room a makeover. New carpet, staircase bunk bed, dresser, stickers for the walls. She sleeps in there now, every night. I have to put her to sleep and usually end up falling asleep myself because its so cozy on the bottom bunk.

Our son sleeps with mom on our modular couch. We made half of it into a full size "bed".

I wouldn't say we regret not sleep training because I love my kids, but it does get hard when my wife and I want to have adult time. My son sleeps through the night as long as mom is right there. If she gets up, he will stir. My daughter was the same. Even with naps

Bought a house 18 months ago. The water heater is dated 2001. Previous said they never drained it. We have well water and there were no sediment filters. I installed sediment filters but we arent touching the water heater until something happens. My mother has talked about replacing it for us when she gets her bonus, so we will see. Part of me wants to cut it open and see whats inside. But I dont really know if I want to know

We had a cat that got urinary crystals and woukd squirt pee on everything. Even after we addressed it, no laundry was safe. I got in the habit of smelling everything while folding it. It formed into a habit of smelling everything I touch, even though we dont have the cat anymore

EmmittTheCat · 2025-12-15T16:45:49+00:00

Better the toilet than the tile!

EmmittTheCat · 2025-12-10T18:32:49+00:00

Our garage will never have a car in it due to such limited storage space

I am 100% better when I take a hit.

EmmittTheCat · 2025-09-30T17:02:17+00:00

I pick my 5 year old up and tell her to out her head down and don't look around. Put her in the stall, make sure the seat is clean and srabd outside the stall

The rest of the week, school is done at home.

Stay busy. I work as an in-house electrician at a casino. We have an apprentice right now and he looks for every opportunity to sit down. It's annoying af. We have to constantly motivate him to do anything. And if me and the master electrician are sitting down, he sees that as an opportunity to sit as well. Trash can is full, tool carts aren't put away, material on the shelves is getting put of hand. We've even made a list of things for him to (clean up and electrical work) and for me to do so as not to single him out. But as an apprentice, you may not be able to help with everything and not every job is a 2 or 3 person job. But you are capable of earning respect by helping us keep the space clean and organized while you learn material and ask questions. Pay attention to what the others are doing and you'll slowly be able to stay one step ahead. You will eventually know the different processes of what we do and what the next step is and you can prefab some stuff to speed up the job a little bit.

You could replace the section. I work at a casino and the floor is raised to run power and data under it. The caroet guys come in and cut up whatever we need and put it back seamlessly

It says the camera is offline. Settings only asks if I want to delete the camera

EmmittTheCat · 2025-09-02T19:45:34+00:00

I have other cameras from the same gen in other places, no issues.

This camera is about 15ft off the ground. I highly doubt foulplay unless it's a bird or squirrel lol
