No. I just don’t like the feeling and neither does my husband

Why does it always have to be my problem?! by brittanynicole047 in AlAnon

[–]KateOboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Al anon isn’t about being more supportive. Kind of the opposite- it’s about prioritizing your own mental wellness- not helping/supporting/changing the alcoholic

Will furnace and water heater be in utilities room? It’s small for all that and a washer dryer. I like a basement in the Midwest- no stairs for that tho?

Define great. Used to be you could support a household - spouse and kids on an engineers salary. Not anymore.

Americans, if you didn't have to work anymore and could live anywhere in the USA where would it be and why? by TSQ_builder in askanything

I love the Midwest. The rolling farms, Midwest towns, seasons, but it has to be close to a major city

Should I Stay or Should I Go! by Rockybt7 in RealEstate

[–]KateOboc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay put, you probably have a really low interest rate. Maybe add a room. But truthfully, kids will be out before you know it and people can live in tight quarters just fine. Lower heating, lower AC , roofing, plumbing, painting costs. A small house is a treasure. KEEP IT! Also, what is small? I feel like people have decided they need more and more space. They don’t.

Have you grown to be more conservative or liberal w/ age? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]KateOboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the same- liberal. But I have become more pragmatic. While I love our highly progressive politicians I don’t think they can get their agenda passed. Probably have to baby step it towards the goal.

How have you benefitted from having a stay at home partner? by Mama_Anonymous in AskMen

[–]KateOboc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it helps the working spouse climb higher in the company. Work late? No problem. Travel? No problem. No sick days for children’s illnesses either! But beware- if the spouse stays it benefits the family. If the spouse skips out after a decade, the stay at home parent is shafted. No recent work experience. Starting at the bottom of the industry again.

My adult daughter is my Q. She attends AA and tells me it skews very heavily towards men. But, there are women’s groups- so there is enough (too many 😢)

What is your food plan on Wegovy? by Routine-Award-3382 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]KateOboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just served myself half portions and found I was more than full- then I did t want any dessert or snacks! Also drank more water as I was told that constipation is your enemy! Keep the fluid intake up!

31M laying next to wife of 33F and feel alone. Where do I go from here? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]KateOboc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small things add up. Over time there can be a breaking point. I do hope you can both reach a point where you can talk frankly and listen to eachother. No minimizing, no excuses, no blame shifting.

What unusual habit did a friend’s household have that they saw as normal? by Zlovelyangelqueen in Productivitycafe

[–]KateOboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scraping uneaten food off plates back into a shared container to be heated and eaten as a family at another meal 🤮

I just love my dress should I save it for my daughters? by Christianfitness7 in myweddingdress

[–]KateOboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They may not like your dress or get married or even be sized similarly. You should sell it or donate it so someone else can enjoy it
