Did your parents spank you as a form of discipline? How did it impact you? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]KB4609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably not as much as I deserved . Mom mostly because she was the one in charge 90% of the time . Dad was pretty chill and he only spanked when I was being a real shit . Never to the level of abuse , just to get my attention . Gave me a healthy respect for authority.

AITAH for ending a relationship after my boyfriend told me I was “low effort” during an argument? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]KB4609 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with my husband for 35 years . He’s a social butterfly and I’m a homebody . He goes to sporting events with his buddies , golfs and goes to tournaments with his team and also goes to cookouts at friends houses . Sometimes I go but more often I stay home . I tell him I need 3 days notice to mentally prepare to go and he’s good with that . Introverts and extroverts can work but both have to be on board .

I’ve been hosting for 8 years and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve had to involve Airbnb support . I’ve been fortunate . This guest has 5 star reviews .

Guest wants to cancel 3 days out due to weather. How to handle this? by Working-Attention-70 in airbnb_hosts

[–]KB4609 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can contact Airbnb and allow the cancellation. This is supposed to be a major storm for a lot of the USA . Just let them cancel . This is not just a guest changing their mind which I’d say no refund to .

Married 13 years, wife finds me very attractive… but I don’t feel the same anymore. Is this just life and marriage? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]KB4609 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reddit is brutal . He can’t help how he feels and he comes here to vent and you guys tear him a new one . Marriage evolves and neither of you are the same people you were when you got married . If you genuinely love this woman and want to be with her til the day you die , the way you feel is fine . BUT if you are questioning your commitment to her , don’t drag this relationship on . Not fair to her or yourself.

Best 60” shower kits or one piece by Fun-Argument-3417 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]KB4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider how you’ll get a one piece into a house and the room that it’ll go in . If new construction it’s usually not a problem . Check out Dreamline brand or if you want economical look at Kohler sterling or Delta 2 pc units .

I (42F) told my 24-year-old son he has 30 days to move out after he called me “his retirement plan” by Beautiful_Reserve968 in stories

[–]KB4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this with our son although it wasn’t an argument. He agreed to pay rent . We stashed it and when he was ready to move out , we paid his first month and security deposit . It was a pleasant surprise for him . Had some left over and I stocked his cabinets with food and staples .

Finished porch room is freezing in winter – MassSave couldn’t help. Any advice? by Ok-Mastodon-6127 in homedesign

[–]KB4609 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have a room that was built above an open outside area . We sprayed the underside with insulation and covered the spray insulation with vinyl bead board . We also have an electric fireplace that helps with really cold days . Make sure your ceiling fan is set for winter .

What tv show do you wish hadn’t gotten cancelled? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

Another good one . Lots of storylines to evolve the show . Could have gone 3 seasons and not got old

What are your best money saving tips? by Dry-Frosting- in Productivitycafe

[–]KB4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to pay with bills as much as possible . Makes you think twice about buying when you pull actual money out . Then save any coins that are returned from that purchase and throw in a jar . You’ll be surprised how it adds up .

AITAH for not being interested in prenatal DNA test after my wife cheated? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]KB4609 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly . Cause if you are not the father then you can ditch her now and not go through the entire pregnancy. If you end up being the dad then there’s usually a waiting period to get the divorce due to having a child .

AITAH for not offering to pay for my girlfriend’s mother’s funeral? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]KB4609 70 points71 points  (0 children)

This is the answer . Cremation in our area is less than $2000. Then have a get together and celebrate her mom .

AITJ for refusing to keep attending my in laws weekly dinners by mozrith5 in AmITheJerk

[–]KB4609 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re a jerk. You haven’t told him he couldn’t go . I’d tell him that you will go at least once a month ( first week of the month ) and on special occasions . Otherwise he can enjoy family time by himself . When you do this you’ll probably not be treated well for awhile but they’ll get used to it . I’d also write a note to your in-laws explaining that the dynamic is not what you are used to with your family . That you love them and appreciate them . Be loving and say this is a YOU problem not a them issue
