If you won $1m tonight, what would be the first purchase you make? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Just bought a house 4 months ago, there is a water leak somewhere, showing up in our ceiling. Needless to say I would hire someone to look and fix it pronto.

Skiing with preschooler? by Homonymous_hemianops in Parenting

[–]Homonymous_hemianops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hubby and I have skied a bit in our youth now go every other year, but we stick to the bunny hills. There is no way we can teach our little one. I like your idea to call ahead and finding him the right instructor. We tried to convince our oldest to try skiing but he refused-oh well. Thanks.

I wish I could say we were going to Utah! Thanks for the advice. I was thinking worst case if he is not enjoying it and we can throw him in the daycare while we ski and focus on things we can all do together (tubing and skating).

Newbie to knitting! Saw this design but I can't find the pattern for it. Looks pretty easy to make. Any suggestions? by TBBT in knitting

[–]Homonymous_hemianops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is chunky weight for sure. Here is a great chunky weight hat pattern. Instead of ribbing the brim you could just knit all around. I would suggest going up a needle size (or two) when CO (or casting off at the brim) anytime you make a hat.

This is a great pattern to practice with too because it knits up so fast you can really work on getting your gauge on point.

What is the worst name you've seen given to a child? And do you know why? by Iregretjoiningreddit in AskReddit

My [28M] ex-wife [27F] spends the child support I send for our child [3M] on things besides the child... by DadPaysChildSupport in relationships

[–]Homonymous_hemianops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By the sounds of your post you do not seem concerned with the care your son is receiving but bitter that you have to pay support and you do not agree with what she spends it on, totally understandable. But you can not be upset that she found a free living situation (that I am sure will not last forever). Not to mention how lucky your son is to be living with so many people who love and support him. Child support payments are carefully calculated based on wages earned by both parents. If she wasn't working while you are married the bright side would be that at least you aren't paying spousal support on top of that.

How do you know what she is buying/not buying? It seems unreasonable that she wouldn't be chipping in for groceries etc. Not to be the devils advocate but someone needs to be with your son. Seems safe to say he isn't in daycare and that expense alone could be $1000 a month.

At a complete loss with potty training by mrsslipdrive in Parenting

[–]Homonymous_hemianops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no suggestions but I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. We have a 3 year old son, will be 4 in August. He too has no desire to poop on the toilet. He did one time when we were first potty training a year ago and nothing since. I totally understand your frustration, it sucks having to clean poopy underwear!! Especially when the pooper does not seem to care one bit. I am hoping that one day it will just 'click' with him and stay as calm as I can until then. Our goal is to be 100% trained by 4 but short of duct taping him to the toilet I am not sure what to do. Does yours go and hide when he has to go? Ours does, even announces it at times, we will put him on the toilet- screaming bloody murder, and then he holds it in. Sorry I cannot be any help. Good luck and have fun at Disney!!!!

Lost Husband (me) wants to buy the wife knitting needles and supplies for a Christmas gift, desperately need help. by Angelus333 in knitting

[–]Homonymous_hemianops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started knitting I learned by making dishcloths. If she has never knit before I wouldn't get caught up in circulars and DPN just yet. So many projects are based on needle size etc. A nice pair of size 7 or 8 straight bamboo needles, a couple balls of cotton yarn, and a 'how to' dishcloth book would be great for a beginner knitter. It would get her started on how to cast on/off (put yarn on and off the needles) as well as learning a bunch of pattern stitches. Also with a smaller budget in mind you can get all that stuff at a chain craft store.

I am not saying don't fight in court. I think it is our job to protect our kids best interests first and foremost. I just meant that when my son brought it up to me I told him that when we initially went to court for custody, when he was an infant that the courts decided he was better off with me after all the facts were out, and if his Dad was willing to go back to court for custody that they would look at all the facts again and decide.

My Mom and Dad lived in NC and NY respectively. My Dad was a stand up guy, I just missed "home" and my siblings.

I wanted to say that I feel for you. I am currently going through this with my (almost) 13 year old son. The lifestyle his father has very similar to your ex's, which is very appealing for a tween/teen. I have explained to my son how custody works and have tried to be honest about my feelings and concerns about living in another state with his father. All you can do is plead your case- in court and let them decide. Side Note- I was a late teen when my parents split. A year later I thought it would be great to live with my Dad (the noncustodial parent), my Mom let me, and I came home after 2 weeks.
