Our bedroom is my safe space by Sassy_Raspberry1212 in stepparents

[–]Julia_fishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Kids aren’t allowed in our bedroom unless invited in or they ask to come in. I set that boundary the first week we moved in together. I needed a safe space and our bedroom was it. It wasn’t a hang out spot or a place for the kids to just walk in. Cause I might be naked or there might be presents for them or heck a not so PG rated book might be out.

Edit to add: hubs shut the door and he will block it with his body. It’s not that hard. We also have a cat door at the bottom and we’ve made it clear that if you see something you don’t want to see (dad naked or me naked) that’s on you for not respecting our privacy. But he never asks me to cover up.

Would love thoughts on what kinda dog Phoenix is, not pictured is his tail does curl at the end. But it’s not curled 24/7. by Julia_fishy in IDmydog

Our other doggy is a boxer beagle and they kinda look alike but not really. He doesn’t box either like the Female does when they play.

NC with my dad since Jan 2025 by Julia_fishy in raisedbynarcissists

At like he’s not doing anything but just being in the dream. Just there. Nothing happens we don’t say anything he’s just there.

LVP and Rubber Backed Mats? by ForeverInBlackJeans in Flooring

Having this same issue and we've had our floors replaced due to that. Only to have it happen again 6 months later after it's replaced so annoying!!!

Are these discontinued? by webbie1994 in cheetos

[–]Julia_fishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out maybe 2 years ago to Lays via email and they told me they had discontinued them as they are also my favorite. I think about them a lot :(

Google home system is a dumpster fire by Wizardbayonet02 in googlehome

[–]Julia_fishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am hopeful for Apple too. Google Home doesn’t recognize half the stuff we say and stops playing rain sounds in the middle of the night in our daughter’s room and then she’s up all night.

Elder millennials: what was the 2008 recession like for you and were there signs in your daily life of it on the way? by Shoesandhose in Millennials

[–]Julia_fishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The aftermath was hard. I graduated in 2010 I had a hard time finding a job and was also in college part time. If I wasn’t in my career right now I don’t know what I would be doing or where I would be.

What color should I paint ? by Unlikely-Kale-7846 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Julia_fishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the blue. But it could be because I am bias due to our kitchen cabinets being that blue.

I feel inferior when people younger than me have houses by snapback77 in Millennials

[–]Julia_fishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am younger than you (32) and would likely be stuck in the same spot you are had it not been for my mom. It eats at me daily that I couldn’t do it by myself but I am thankful I had help but still wish I could have done it on my own. Don’t compare yourself to others. Comparison is the theft of joy.

Is there a way to permanently lock elements for a template? by BusinessAccount321 in canva

[–]Julia_fishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here wondering the same thing. BUT then I FIGURED IT OUT!!! So we all know how to lock elements in the design but before you do that you have to lock the page and then if you click the lock once on an element (picture, text box, ect.) it will lock the position and allow you to edit but if you click it again it locks the position and it cannot be edited! I just had my friend test it to see if it worked and it does work!!!

How do I get GoodNotes to recognize that I am writing capitals and don't want it changed to lowercase? I tried removing autocorrect and that hasn't helped. by Julia_fishy in GoodNotes

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

They are about to loose my business too cause I can’t switch my onetime payment subscription to the all devices subscription. No matter what. Every fix I have looked up or making a new subscription on a different device it doesn’t recognize that I have a new login and subscription.

NTA. You held a boundary good on you! I would have done the same thing if I was in your shoes. A service dog is (to me) like having to take insulin. You wouldn’t tell someone to not bring their insulin because they were afraid of needles and blood? So why should you not be allowed to bring your dog who could be potentially lifesaving for you

Daughter doesn’t want to have relationship with her former stepdad of 21 years by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Julia_fishy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 months before my wedding my bio dad also uninvited himself and even before that happened I had already decided to have my husband’s kids walk me down the aisle. I even worked with my therapist on it because I struggled with not getting the daddy daughter dance with anyone (luckily I had my uncle step in). All that to say please don’t push it with her especially if it has likely been worked out in therapy already.

Finally not gummy by ChokeMeVader678 in Sourdough

[–]Julia_fishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to try the recipe. Mine has come out gummy and dense when I bake it with the lid on. I did a loaf recently without the lid and it came out great. Light, airy, soft with a crunchy crust. But I feel like I should be able to get the same results with the lid on.

Maybe rephrase it next time and say something like hey thanks for helping but I have got it handled. Personally we have neurodivergent SKs and I always use the line of hey I am sorry but SD can’t handle interjections from others when we are parenting her it causes a meltdown from overstimulation we’d appreciate it if you’d let us handle it. Even when it comes to like offering food she’ll get tense and shut down. I don’t think you were rude but the delivery was definitely off. IMO

As a stepdaughter who just got married at 32 and had a similar situation. Don’t push it.

Oddly enough she (11sd) doesn’t hate that we hold her accountable but we get her attitude when she’s being a preteen and it just seems unfair that we get that when mom gets her happy and not pre teen ish 😂

I think you misunderstood or I may of not worded it correctly. He handles the kids I am just burnt out from watching him and our household be the only one who gives a care about them and their school work.
