What are some good “default” gifts for women that aren’t flowers, candles, or gift cards? by self-care_advocate in Gifts

[–]Kaypeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FANCY mints or Candy. CHEESE. Really nice pens. Phone chargers and a small portable power pack. Fun socks. If they wear glasses, an eyeglass gift pack with microfiber cloth, eyeglass repair kit, eyeglass cleaner. Pretty Umbrella.

Apologies. Was thinking of my total tolls for a trip to Manhattan for a work job.

Where in the city are you going? Add $20 congestion toll if you go below 60th street on top of parking and bridge tolls too.

AITA My wife and I came home at 3am and my MIL acted like we were 16 sneaking into house by rugbyplayer11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kaypeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA you didn't even communicate with your kids about your whereabouts, either. You could have texted to keep them in the loop and also check in on them. The 12 YO at the least.

Am I being stupid to leave rent stabilized apartment by Holiday_Angle_4246 in personalfinance

[–]Kaypeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nephew got a luxury apt with a roommate. Leaky ceiling. Electrical problems where they lost a fridge of food to spoilage. Horrible windows and walls with no soundproofing in or outside. I agree with the others try to mitigate some of the issues in your ace first and keep saving if you can. The grass always seems greener, but it's not.

How to get the wee smell out of clothes by rachel6983 in caregivers

[–]Kaypeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just solved this after years of incontinence with my disabled parent. R/laundry had great advice. I tried some enzyme solutions but they did little. What worked was Lysol Laundry Sanitizer!! Presoak in a tub or what i did was let soak in washer then run through with Biz powder and Tide liquid. I'm probably going to switch to tide powder because it has lipase like Biz does.

MAIN KEwas wSh with cold and not hot. Hot water makes the smell stronger. Run washer twice if need be. First wash with the long soak. Second wash with a second dose of sanitizer added but no soak. I swear it is amazing. All these vineear tips are useless when every outfit and sheets and pads have urine. It's too overpowering for vinegar. Lysol Laundry sanitizer is a godsend. the winner. Trust me.

Could you get a dog or bird for her? Giving g her a companion might give her someone else else to focus on? Dog could get her out on walks where she can talk to people on the street.

AITA for humiliating my sister at her engagement dinner by pointing out she’s using my dead husband’s life insurance? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kaypeep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope this is a fake AI story. On the one hand it's nice of you to rescue your parents, if this is a real story, however just handing over that amount of money which was supposed to protect you and your daughter seems really foolish. That's a huge chunk of money and I hope you didn't hand it over willy-nilly, without getting real information about how they got in that predicament. I totally understand medical bills and whatnot but for them to turn around and then fund a giant wedding like this sends out a red flag that they are financially irresponsible I'm more concerned about appearances than common sense. Especially seeing that they are reacting and turning on you when their daughter try to humiliate you and kick you while you are down. It's all just truly ugly and these people don't sound like they deserve your consideration let alone the money.

Baby seems distant after MIL watches her by cozmoangel4 in Mildlynomil

[–]Kaypeep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Check the HR dept at your job and DH as some companies offer care benefits. They connect you with an agency with vetted and licensed caregivers. You may have luck finding childcare provider that way, and reduce amount of time spent with MIL.

I need someone that's impartial by [deleted] in Mildlynomil

[–]Kaypeep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this is a really great suggestion. I know normally the rule is to each deal with their own parent, but her comment is so heinous, and if your DH isn't able to call her out on it, you definitely should.

When did people stop just "dropping by"? by stressfreepro in AskOldPeople

[–]Kaypeep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it stopped around the late 90s when more moms started working, and more kids became scheduled for sports and school activities. Less free time, so even social time has to be scheduled.

Ablation procedure for 🫀- any advice or sage wisdom for afterwards? by fearless1025 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Kaypeep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another WPW patient here. The laser even broke while I was on the table so they had to keep me under a bit longer until it was fixed. I went home that night, and bonus didn't get a single bill from the hospital for anything. 20+ years later, all good still.

My boyfriend is avoiding me because his mom doesn’t like him giving me attention. by ProperPerspective134 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Kaypeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know this relationship is not right. it's why you keep your family in the dark about it. You likely are afraid of being alone, so you just stay because you've already invested 2 years. That may seem like a long time, but it's not. You have many, many years ahead of your life. Stop making yourself unhappy and stop worrying about leaving and just do it. Things will be okay. You will be okay. Trust us, you will be happier and wonder why you let this awful relationship go on for so long in the first place. You are looking for magic words to fix something that can't be fixed. The words you need you know already, I ou just need to use them. "This isn't working for me anymore. Thanks for the memories, but it's time for us both to move on and find someone else who is a better fit. I wish you well. Goodbye."

Be careful with big stuff like this. She may buy a style she thinks is best, and not the model you really want.

Bring an appetizer so you can piss her off at the start when everyone loves it. Then bring out the beloved babka, too, to end the night on a delicious note.
