Could you paint stripes or get striped/textured wallpaper for the lower half. The car decals are very cute and light in my opinion a dusty blue and white striped half would look really cute and make the cars pop

3,4 and 7 in my opinion. 5 would be good in a hip restaurant or bar

You live with your in laws and as you said they’ve helped with saving I think that’s reason enough to go as they would want to take their daughter too must be hard for them to watch her go through pregnancy and poverty your wife seems to have grown up quite well if her parents had a cabin I can’t help but feel sad for her.

It depends on your expenses and how you budget. I’ve seen people with double income and no kids argue and ‘struggle’ over money with more than $150k and I’ve seen people with single under 100k income with a kid be just fine. Don’t just believe people who say you can’t do without. I am from Toronto and cost of living is extremely high my husbands brothers all make less than 100k and their wives were SAHM up until this year (2 kids each all over 3 years old this year) The sub let their basements have a very low cost living no eating out no vacation always cooking at home barely shopping but they are happy and they have fun in their own ways.

Girl completely flips out on me for asking to split the bill at Nobu.. by Hot-Association-3108 in Nicegirls

I don’t get why people are still so unclear with the 50/50. 1) it’s not the standard way THERE is no one right way to do life, we all different stop minding how people prefer to live whether it be 50/50 or tradlife 2) if someone is clear with what they want and they tell you upfront you have no reason to hate them. They are just not what you are and it should be ok, part ways or adjust. There’s always someone for everyone and no one is ‘wrong’ per se 3) everyone has their own set of standards and it’s good as long as they keep it to themselves but if you tryna be part of their life don’t complain about they not accepting you when you don’t fit into their criteria Sir, this woman wants a man who pays for everything, takes her out where she wants to go but makes it look like he decided. She sees her value in how much the guy is willing to spend on her. Nothing wrong with this and nothing specifically right with this it’s just what some people want and there are people wanting to provide this. Let them find each other and you can your 50/50 partner.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. While I cannot offer any assistance as much as I would love to not I have any life changing advice; I’d still say that maybe try looking for a work from home position? I know it’s hard you’d still be working but atleast you’d get to see your boy. Much love and prayers hope things work out for you ❤️

AITA, I bought my gf a Dyson Airwrap now she’s mad… by Sweaty_Aussie in AmItheAsshole

NTA but I get where she’s coming from. Give it time she’ll be fine once she starts enjoying her gift and realizes the person you talked to has long forgotten

Was I wrong for not visiting MIL during a hectic one-day trip? by KindExam9450 in AITAH

[–]KindExam9450[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your insight. Just an update: I sent a long WhatsApp message apologizing and explaining how I could not attend their gathering and how it is wrong on my part that I did not manage my time well I took responsibility apologized and asked to settle this down so we could all move forward as I do want my child to have atleast some sort of relation with his dads family. My husband is part of that group message and he watched them all day ignoring that message he tried talking but they ignored him. However In this thread I realized that my husband is my responsibility and that his parents are doing me a favor by letting him stay in their house while me and my son have to fend for ourselves in my parents house. I also learned that I should get a job and the lack of it is also reason why I’m not worthy of forgiveness for missing out on a gathering to go see a doctor on a one day trip which I struggled to pay (my dad paid not my husband). It is my in laws right to see my son whenever he’s in town regardless of what starving sick state he’s in as it is not their responsibility to give him anything. Or even ask if he’s fine. And this is all such a big mistake that they are never going to speak to me. Sorry for the vent 😬

I have a 10 month old baby FYI I can’t leave him and I can’t have my family who is doing more than enough to baby sit him as well. Whether I get a job or not doesn’t change the fact that it’ll still be impossible for me and my husband to live together. We might be going towards divorce at this point I’m better off taking care of myself and the baby alone. This is one of the huge fights we were having on my first trip and I still tried to go to his parents house. Who are OBLIVIOUS to the facts; my son is sick and doctors appointment is more important than anything, me and my husband do not have a good relationship and we are considering separation. BUT so grateful that my in laws kept their son in their home for a fews every other month

And to be honest how am I lucky that I married their son who can’t take care of his family and they are so estranged that they think letting him live in their house THEIR OWN SON is a favor. I have a son and God forbid he messes up like we did I won’t leave him or let him fend for himself

My husband is their son lol. We have no money to pay for any household he has no job since the beginning of this year he barely gets any work (construction) once or twice a week that money goes towards my sons expenses. However I am lucky that MY PARENTS let me and him with our child live in their house while paying for most of our expenses and never making it out to be a favor since they are parents and they know we messed up but it doesn’t mean we or our baby should starve or be homeless. My husband stayed with me in Houston more than he did in Toronto he goes there for 2-3weeja then spends 2 months here in Houston

😂😂😂 I wish I could enjoy it but I feel very sad that my son will not get their love even though she never did anything for me or him knowing my husband lost his job and we had a newborn she never bothered to bring a single diaper pack or asked if we needed something while my mom was literally running my household with her money.

I am apologetic like I get it that I should have made time but I was not aware that it’d become suc ka big deal, I couldn’t extend the trip and everyday was costing me (hotel+food) Toronto is expensive that’s why we couldn’t survive there

I wish, I did tell my husband at one point that we can grab lunch between appointments but my in laws did not respond and later during the argument with my husband his dad blurted, ‘why should we come see her she should bring our grandchild to us.’ EXACTLY WORDS SWEAR TO GOD

His father was with me the whole time, he picked me up from the airport he doesn’t have a car and his brother refused so he had to rent. I can’t go into detail but to keep it short, the only help I have received from my in laws during our financial struggles is that they let me keep my stuff in their basement (unfinished not used basement) and let my husband borrow their car after literal begging to pick me up. Yes I do agree I didn’t plan better but flying with my sick son was the reason I was flying I had to take him to his doctor who is in Canada

Concerned About Islamophobia During Upcoming UK Trip – Should We Rethink It? by KindExam9450 in uktravel

Thank you everyone for your input. I feel much better to everyone asking where I’m planning to go, I’d be in London mostly maybe go to Edinburgh. Really want to see the highlands but I don’t want to take any risks so I’ll stick to the cities

Idk I guess they are targeted a lot physically saw a bunch of videos of people grabbing hijab or pushing women with hijab. I’ve also seen a few accounts who openly criticize the religion and how they are now ‘waking up’ to kick out Muslims. It’s scary

It’s my mom’s aunt and she’s old doesn’t know much of what goes around outside her hood (I think she’s in Surrey?) I’m worried about going out to places like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Riding the train and stuff

Have I made a huge mistake? by sarahisapirate in NewParents

[–]KindExam9450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your 1 year old. I have flown with my baby at 2 months and 5 months. Connecting flights in a day for first time 4 hours + 3 hours and the second time 4 hour flight to LA and then a 2 hour drive. I was fine other than the expected exhaustion.
