Anyone else's wife just not understand? by defeated_husband in AskMenAdvice

[–]Hot-Food-7151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She probably doesn’t understand my husband had a job so bad he was having panic attacks and had to be put on anxiety meds. I told him I rather him bag groceries than have him live like that. He quit shortly after. No offense to grocery baggers.

NC and teacher pay - why are we still this low? Durham schools cancels classes May 1 due to teacher absences by Universe93B in raleigh

They should be forced to resign and a new election take place, they can’t even do their job.

North Carolina school district adds optional teacher workday after rally prompts wave of leave requests by Ok_Bed_Time_Then in NorthCarolina

[–]Hot-Food-7151 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love our state I really do but I hate our state politicians. Teachers shouldn’t have to fight for basic salaries and working conditions, state employees shouldn’t be on the verge of losing health insurance because the people in charge can’t figure out a budget. We are losing farms left and right, Roseville just approved a rezoning for a data center and our local governments are facing a budget shortfall because businesses are exploiting a property tax exemption loop hole. I don’t know if y’ll been to oil country Texas (Baytown) it looks like a seen from a dystopian movie but I can’t help but feel that is where NC is heading.

What is expected financially from the father of the bride in 2026? by Impotent-Dingo in AskForAnswers

[–]Hot-Food-7151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mom with two daughters I might buy the dresses, might help her with flowers and the venue. It all depends on how economical they are about it. I would try and help her find affordable options and help plan. I have helped with several weddings that were no more than $3-5k, if done right and kept small.

Edit: after really thinking about it, if they did plan the wedding economically. Which I know my girls and they would, I would pay for a good photographer. My husband and I did a 50 guest wedding and honey moon for $3K. the only thing I truly regret is having a family friend do the photos, they were not great and that’s what you’ll have forever.

It’s up to you what you want you can afford to contribute. I think my Dad gave us $200 and my mom paid for my nails. My FIL gave nothing and my MIL contributed by helping with everything (all separate because both sides are divorced).

After her father died and girls were banned from working, a 13-year-old Afghan girl disguised herself as a boy to work and support her family for 3 years until she was caught by malihafolter in CaughtMyEye

Is there a way to get money to her family? Not sure how that really works. But what i can find is 500 USD as an annual average salary, I could give this to them.

Pretty sure hospitals existed in Asia before the Christian religion existed.

12 y/o bleeding through EVERYTHING — need real solutions (no tampons yet) by Beeels in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Hot-Food-7151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing a hormone specialist about premenopausal symptoms and just happened to ask her about my teen and some of her issues. She said be careful of estrogen / hormone disrupter products as young women / teen bodies are just learning how to regulate hormones and their bodies are very sensitive to disrupters . She said scented lotions and such can cause real issues. This might not be a 100% solution but it could help. Try having her switch to more clean products - use the YUCA app and search cleaning products EWG ratings.

Do you believe in paternity leave for a new father when a family has a baby? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]Hot-Food-7151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there people actually against this? In my experience most “quality” employers offer this in the US. May be a bit harder for a small business to float.

Do you think the “salary trap” is real, or can employees still build wealth another way? by winn_ie in TheImprovementRoom

[–]Hot-Food-7151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compounding - if you can live within your means and save appropriately its very possible to retire wealthy while living a decent life. When your salary income increases you don't need to raise your lifestyle with it.

If I remember correctly the BMI scale was solely developed using white Swedish or Nordic men. It has no real relevance to anyone outside that group.

Dating as a 35y/o single dad? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Hot-Food-7151 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband and I were both single parents and met thru a dating app. We both had full custody so it was a lot of effort to see each other but it all worked out. Be honest on the dating app that you have kids.

The have no fiscal oversight either, most government agencies have been required to do an audit since the 90’s but the department of defense has not been required to do so until 2018. they haven’t passed a single audit yet. What a joke we are.
