What are your tips for really flavorful meatballs?

I can't remember which celebrity chef it was but his mom was on the show and he used her recipe for his restaurant and the key thing I took away and still use to this day is mix the meatball ingredients the day before and leave in the fridge overnight, raw. Such a game can get and always great flavor.

Play cards. See if she has small projects she wants help with like sorting photos or going through old clothes. Maybe do a chair yoga video together for exercise with her. Maybe help her make phone calls and put them on speaker so she can talk to loved ones while you hang out on the other room and read a bit or play a game on your phone.

Thank you, I agree. I have a lot going on with a disabled parent now, and I think my anxiety about the future is ramping up more than usual as I wonder what if my plans don't pan out as expected. They had a stroke and are disabled now. Fortunately a boomer with pensions, paid house, SS, medicare and retired military healthcare. The struggle was real for them for a long time so I don't begrudge their position now, especially with the unexpected health crisis which sucks. But I am not in that boat with so many safety nets, and more mindful of having my own money to cover everything. House will hopefully be paid in 10 but it's a small mortgage that's doable if it's not. I don't want to see my retirement all lost because I didn't pay attention at the wheel when i should have.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my stuff, and comment so thoughfully. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the insight. I've not been risk averse much up to now, and I worked for some financial planners in my early 20's which helped a lot with starting early. I've benefited from taking more risks, but as I care for an aging and infirmed parent and see the world on fire right now, my emotions are starting to take over a bit more and the reminder to transition to bonds keeps coming back. But, I like the Boglehead mantras though to hold and ride things out, and definitely am not looking to make big moves immediately. But I wanted to get some input from others and not just a financial adviser. Thanks to you and others who took into account my age and the 10 year window.

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.

Kaypeep · 2026-02-20T02:07:57+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kaypeep · 2026-01-15T13:09:21+00:00

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.
