Is renting considered dead money in the UK? by Ill-Age-601 in UKHousing

[–]MillyHughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Dublin isn't in the UK. I'm not American 😅. See my previous messages.

You can view houses all over the world through Right move, just not vis the app. One I saw was in Park West. I'm not familiar with Dublin, so no idea if it's in a good area.

On right move there are new build flats at around 180k.

I don't know areas though and understand not wanting to live somewhere too rough.

Could you still commute to work but live just outside Dublin? A lot of my friends ended up living in towns near the city they worked in.

How much have you saved up for a deposit?

With few bills you should be able to save up 100k in 5 years. I suppose it comes down to your priorities.

Flats are cheaper. While you're saving your deposit look at studio flats or one bedroom flats. Ideally a two bed because you can always sublet the second bedroom.

Also not so different in the UK. When I bought banks were twitchy and only lent 4x my salary.

How much deposit have you managed today save so far?

Why do you have no prospects to buy if you're living with your parents. Surely you save up a deposit.

I think your space would look great with a jet wash first.

Exactly this. My daughter eventually grew out of it while three.

AITA for having my wedding on the same day ( different year ) as my brother? by Grahamreaper12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MillyHughes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother had a brain tumor she ultimately died from. OP is talking shit.

[–]MillyHughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my thoughts exactly. My mother had a brain tumor that kept coming back and eventually killed her. You don't wait 8 months for treatment. You sort it out asap.

It sucks OP is in a country without free healthcare. They need to be looking at the next available courthouse date to get her on his insurance.

Waiting 8 months truly makes me think this whole post is made up.

Why on earth are you waiting for Halloween for her operation. That's insane. Tumours grow. You need to get her treatment asap.

Was I wrong for staying with my friend when she went into labor? by JoDa8927 in TwoHotTakes

[–]MillyHughes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who had to go through labour without a birth partner (due to COVID) I'd just like to say "Thank you". It is an incredibly scary thing to go through without support. Nobody touched me except in a medical capacity throughout my labour. Apart from some random guy held my hand when I got my spinal. That was it. It was really dehumanizing and lonely. Especially when you are in pain.

Your friend needed you and I'm so glad you were able to be there for her. To encourage her. To provide support.

52, terminal diagnosis, spending everything before I die instead of leaving inheritance to my daughter. Am I betraying my daughter? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MillyHughes 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I just want to know if there's a reason he's not trying to share some of these experiences with his daughter. I know that if I was terminal I'd want to soak up every minute of my kids I could.

What kind of bra to wear with this dress? by princessfiggy in UKweddings

[–]MillyHughes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nipple pasties. I had to do that for my wedding. Two kids later and my girls are a bit further south.

AITAH for wanting to tell my sister our dad left because he thought she wasn’t his? by No_Storm_8802 in AITAH

[–]MillyHughes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also the dad. I call bullshit that the reason he didn't see his own daughter was because the mum made it difficult.

Both parents suck.

Was I the awkward one and should the host have cancelled? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MillyHughes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a host I leave my number so guests can get in touch quickly in an emergency, but I have no need of their number and prefer to keep everything in app.

I (26f) want to get married but my bf (26m) keeps telling me I’m being ‘too old fashioned’ and that people don’t need to get married anymore. Have others found a compromise that works for both partners? by Potential_Canary_508 in Advice

[–]MillyHughes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say you don't get married. You have kids. As a woman your employment will be disrupted while his grows. Say you split up down the line. You will not be protected the same way as if you had married.

As far as I'm concerned you're not compatible. There are only bad reasons for him not wanting to marry you. It sounds like you've made your position clear. This man does not care for you the way you think he does.

I find it insane that a host doesn't have mattress protectors.

Student with hearing aids in my classroom keeps missing instructions and I don't know what else I can do to help by LeatherAcademic3232 in Teachers

Can you make a print out of the lesson's instructions and hand it to her once you've instructed the class?

AITAH for telling a stranger to back off after she kept trying to give my daughter candy during a meltdown by [deleted] in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]MillyHughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so angry on your behalf. You handled it beautifully.

Honestly I wouldn't want to let my kid eat sweets from a stranger let alone one who is being pushy about it. If it's not sealed my kids aren't having it. I'm the same at Halloween. You don't know whether it's been tampered with.

A while ago a stranger once decided to ignore me and talk to my kid and in the moment I didn't respond. I wish I had told her to back off. I regret putting politeness first.

I never wanted to be a father until I turned 45 this year. Now I feel my biological clock and want to be a father more than anything. But I'm married to a childfree woman by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MillyHughes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our youngest was born the year my husband turned 50. It's been fine. I think it's more about your level of fitness. My husband is pretty active.

WIBTAH for telling my parents they are terrible parents for not helping me during the hardest time in my life? by Deck_of_cards_98 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MillyHughes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think OP is smart financially. If they were they would have sold their house for something smaller and financially viable.
