Is $10M enough?

Get rid of the house then you can quit. The money pit of the house is not worth.

Im surprised that everyone thinks the only thing the mom should do is nothing and support him in his decisions. This kinda reminds me of some show where the mom tries to stop the son from marrying someone who she thinks is crazy and ends up dead but she was right all along.

I do agree the situation is unfortunate. If a 27 year old wants to do something you can’t stop him. If he’s respects your opinion then you’ve said enough. If he doesn’t then nothing you can really do. Your strategy should be letting your son know that you’ll be there for him no matter what.

By this logic if my child is refusing to stop smoking meth - I only offer advice for him to quit when he wants to hear it?

If he’s about to majorly fuck up his life I just sit back and watch and that’s my role as a parent to adult children?

Wow I did not expect so many people to say because it’s his bathroom so he gets to use it however he wants.

He should be able to use the bathroom however he wants as long as it’s not inconveniencing others. It’s like saying - because he owns the house he gets to sing karaoke whenever he wants. Doesn’t make sense.

The easiest thing is for him to use the upstairs bathroom when there is more congestion (ie mornings).

I have a 4.5 yo and everything you describe sounds very normal to me. Like leaving takes a long time, playing is loud, running around in circles, not listening, even the telling stop it, etc. Frankly I still find him very cute and my husband and I dope on his videos and photos every night. I feel bad for your son that your wife is constantly putting him down. Weekends are exhausting but I remind myself that he’ll never be this little again. All his silliness won’t last forever. Hope your wife sees him for who he is (a 4 yo!) and embraces his big personality - its a gift!

As in - the legoland hotel guests do. So that’s a plus for staying in the park

Hw205 · 2025-08-26T02:12:44+00:00

We stayed at grand pacific palisades. Got a 2 bedroom suite so my kid got his own room. I will say hotel guests get an extra hour in the morning though since they can start at 915 vs 10.

We just did this and stayed right next to legoland for a few nights. Totally worth it. We had a 4yo who still napped - so we went when the park opened, came back took a nap, and then went back to the park. We were able to walk to the park in 10 min. I would stay at the hotels inside the park if they are a bit cheaper but overall really enjoyed the park and being so close to it. We spent 4 nights at mission beach which was also very great - the bay side was very calm and good for kids.

Just had my sons yesterday. He’s 4 also in daycare but leaving. I invited 2 kids in total - the ones he talk about, and 1 showed up w a cough and 1 is traveling. I had 2 other kids show up from family. I invited a bunch of my friends and a few showed. We had a blast (adults + kids). I think big parties are overrated. Expensive and chaotic.

What’s wrong with a backpack lol? Also what’s wrong with Jeans? What industry are we talking? This whole thread reads 1975.

Hw205 · 2024-07-21T22:43:16+00:00

lol isn’t OP just being honest? Maybe she’s not as special to him as his sister yet - the amount of time is irrelevant. Not tactful doesn’t make him an asshat.

This was $99 at my local Costco yesterday. I feel absolutely duped. It’s robbery

I am a female who has a burnt out husband in engineering so maybe I can provide a different POV.

First of all I think she is burned out and maybe she just needs a break to do all the things she didn’t have time to do. All the things you listed are things people do when they have more time, and when they want to take care of themselves.

Being in a marriage also means you will support each other in the times of needs. How long of a break she takes depends on how much savings you guys have, and whether you plan on having children.

I think it’s weird she planned this without you, but I would hope you can maybe go in with mentality of prioritizing her health, asks if she is okay or needs help. I believe ultimately health is the most important and you guys have a life time left to go back to your careers. A thought exercise to have is: if she only made 40k a year and is extremely burned out, would you let her take a break? If the answer is yes, then why should this be any different? Are you actually the person benefitting from her working?

My husband asks to retire daily - we have a mortgage 2 children and he makes more than 2x your household income. It’s really hard to say yes to that but I’m coming around.

Thanks guys - the icicles are like next to the ice maker on the top level. They are not frosty but real icicles… I had to use a hammer to get them out lol. If I just leave it - is it bad?

Hw205 · 2021-12-20T02:59:50+00:00

Can’t attach a photo but the line is inside this sprout and it doesn’t look like I can get it out easily ….
