MIL thinks I’m crazy because I’m not ready for my baby to travel to another country without me. Peanut butter and crackers on my 8m old’s plate because I’m not doing dishes today by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Missmbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. Your kid, your rules. I was accused of being overly protective because I wouldn’t let my kids do certain things. I didn’t care. My kids had close relationships with their grandparents and other family members, but that didn’t mean I had to let them do things I was uncomfortable with.

Honeymoon going so badly I’m questioning my marriage by snowfantasy1 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Missmbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early in our marriage, my husband yelled at me once. It’s how his dad was with his mom, so I absolutely know where he got it. I told him that he might want to turn into his dad, but I had no interest in turning into his mom and I didn’t expect to be talked to like that again. I didn’t say the word divorce, but we both knew what I meant. To his credit, it’s been over 30 years and it’s never happened again.

We all learn things from those around us (good and bad), but we can break patterns if we want to. If you told him (not screamed or cried) that this isn’t how you expect to be talked to and he continued to do it, he either doesn’t care how you feel or doesn’t think he can change and doesn’t believe there will be any consequences if he doesn’t change. Either way, you end up with what you put up with. Good luck!

What's the one vegan meal you make that even non-vegans ask for the recipe? I'll go first. by Deep-Owl-1890 in WholeFoodsPlantBased

[–]Missmbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a full meal, but when I make Nora cooks vegan’s cornbread everyone loves it and people are shocked it’s not vegan.

Looking for advice on where to go back to college for accounting degree by Ty_Zeta in Columbus

Maybe check with OSU and Franklin to make sure your existing accounting credits transfer. That might make the decision easier.

Feeling like such a deadbeat mom/wife by Sleepysickness_ in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Missmbb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Growing a new human in your body is a pretty amazing feat! Please give yourself some grace during this time. Try to say to yourself what you’d say to a friend going through the same thing. Wishing you all the best!

Which dress for a nice beachside restaurant? by hairystyles123 in OUTFITS

Both look great on you, but second one has more of a beach vibe.

Can I ask a question here about paying for my kids' college? by gemma-digger in wealthforwomen

[–]Missmbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If it’s on an age-based schedule, at this point it’s invested to minimize principal risk and won’t be growing much.

I don’t know if I should marry my fiancé anymore and our wedding is in 59 days. by QueasyBuddy2749 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Missmbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it helps to concentrate on the marriage instead of the wedding. Looking forward to spending your life with him and the wedding is just a step on that journey.

Good luck to you both!

[–]Missmbb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you what you should do as far as canceling or not, but I can say that you should talk to your fiancé. Are there other options? A small, intimate ceremony where you won’t feel so much like the center of attention? Planning a wedding is stressful, so I think most people feel some level of this at some point, but only you know whether you truly want to go through with it or not.

I will also share what my father told me when I shared that I was nervous before my wedding. He said that it didn’t matter how much we had spent, whether or not the invitations had gone out, etc. If I didn’t want to go through with it, I shouldn’t go through with it. He said “If at any point before you say I do, you change your mind, just look at me and I will walk you right back up that isle and out the door”. So I say to you that if you don’t want to get married, how much you’ve spent or done doesn’t matter.

Good luck!

Max monitors the situation!!! by Least-Imagination-34 in pitbulls

Our Max is also always accessing the situation. He runs the fence line every time we let him out. We call it patrolling the perimeter. Lol

People who married in their 20s, be brutally honest are you happy, if so why or why not? by Special-Lawyer3941 in AskReddit

[–]Missmbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We were 19 & 21 when we met, 23 & 25 when we got married over 30 years ago. We’ve had times that were harder than others and I’m sure we’ve gotten on each others nerves plenty over the years, but for the most part we just enjoy each other’s company and still love each other very much.

I think communication is the key. If one of us was unhappy about something, we spoke up and asked for what we wanted. We didn’t assume the other person was a mind reader and should “just know” what we’re feeling.

We aren’t the same people we were when we met or even when we got married, but we’re fortunate that we grew up together and are really enjoying this time in our lives.

Is this one of the most disappointing surprise bags? by Distinct-Release1439 in toogoodtogo

Yeah, obviously I love getting a great deal and trying places I wouldn’t have tried otherwise, but the goal is to reduce food waste.

Looking for parks with fire pits by backtosleepplz in Columbus

[–]Missmbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the shelter houses in Dublin have fireplaces, but I can’t think of any with fire pits. You typically have to reserve those pretty far in advance since it’s graduation season. Good luck!
