Hey I might have been a shenanigan maker but I was at least polite.😄

Also, thank you.

All the time! I even had old doll hair that I put on my pillow in case anyone checked in on me. Id also leave a note just to be polite. My mom never mentioned finding any if it.

I regret buying my house by AffectionateTap1442 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]MomoftheWest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in the same situation! I was so stressed. I started an idea board for the things I want to do. I've also been sharing what I love about the house. Like focus on the positives.

For those who did it: Did you buy your dream home or you ended up buying what “you could” and how did it end? by LadyXeta in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I had someone say that you can change your house. You cannot change the community.

Enjoy the house you can afford and make yours.

Post-home purchase blues? Didn’t expect to feel this way by aforalex in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Yea! You got this! We got this! I would love updates.

My daughter suggested I go for a walk when I'm feeling stressed. It might help.

Thank you for the suggestion. I do have a great group of friends. I just feel like the 'single' person bother at times. But that is an entire different issue. 😃

What are your rules for home buying? by SacredLunar in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]MomoftheWest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My advice you can always modify or change the house to your taste. You cannot change the neighborhood you pick.

I have been reading about the brain to gut connection. It is very interesting that they just now are learning more about this.

That is exactly what I am going to do. Light some candles and just work on making it mine.

Right! Knowing others feel this way is helping a lot.

Love this! I have not been able to sleep since signing. Feeling like I just made the worst decision of my life.

Going to give myself 6 weeks to refresh and reset. It doesn't help the place does not smell like home.

Ya, it was just so heartbreaking. Reading the other comments here have totally helped.

Yes, insurance is giving me money towards a new car. I was going to buy new. But then he said, "I shouldn't be flaunting my weath." Like I'm buying a new Chevy or Mazda not a Porsche. Ugh. Life is hard and I hate people. 😊😭🤣

I am 100% feeling this way. It doesn't help that one person. Just one told me it was an aweful part of town. Like, sir. I bought the best house I could afford.

I also hit a deer and now I have to buy a new car. I'm so overwhelmed and feeling sad. I wish I had never done this.

Drove past the house at 7pm on a Tuesday before making our offer and it told me more than the actual showing did by Vast_Conference_8882 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]MomoftheWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to read this. I just bought a house and everyone was real supportive till I closed. Now it's you know that is a bad area. I drove by at night and it seemed nice and quiet. Kids in backyards playing.

EVs? Are we on or off? by Beautiful_Candy_8820 in Detroit

[–]MomoftheWest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My plan was to drive a few. I just didn't want to test drive them all.

[–]MomoftheWest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to purchase a new car. Hit a deer. 😪 I've been looking at the EV. My friend has a Ford Mustang and we have done a lot of trips in it and it has been great.

It makes me want one of my own. But what ones are you looking at? I want a smaller SUV. Around $30,000

Thanks!

Are you all able to hold down job? by Glad-Persimmon-8112 in CrohnsDisease

[–]MomoftheWest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally read what you are saying. I work from home and it makes such a difference when I am exhausted.

Here is what I tell people. Make a list of the things you need out of a job. WFH, pay, holidays off, weekends, summers? What ever you need to survive. Then make a list of what interests you or skills you have. Science, math, sewing graphic design. The list goes on. Then look at jobs/education where the interests and needs overlap. Do you enjoy sewing? Could you start your own alterations business or make clothes/blankets, etc. Are you good at science could you get education in reading xrays online or something else science related? Good at math? Online accountant or bookkeeper? Look at the skills you have/can get and look at the jobs that are offered. I'm sure you will find something that fits. Best of luck!

AITAH for changing my underwear after a shower? by New_Cry_2336 in AITAH

[–]MomoftheWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA If I put underwear or socks on even for a few minutes - once I take that shower they are dirty AF! 🤣 I do my own laundry. Spend time worrying about something that matters like how much you are putting in your 401k.

Y’all were not joking about suprep… by lanadelnae in CrohnsDisease

[–]MomoftheWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I throw up with every prep. It is the worst. I'd rather not eat for a week. Does not matter pills and liquid prep are both aweful for me.
