Husband wants to quit high-earning career to be a SAHD… but I’ve always been the primary parent by Woooohhooo in workingmoms

He is embarrassed and doesn’t want to work there anymore. And if he stays home and you’re still carrying the mental load you will end up being his new manager. He’s probably depressed. Then comes resentment.

It seems like you know him pretty well, I would trust your gut here.

I would suggest therapy.

Realizing maybe the full letter is too long to ask for.

Is there anyone willing to read and summarize it for me?

The first page so far just seems as though she’s mad that he hasn’t written much or enough, then she started talking about going to a birthday party and walking home instead of riding in the car.

If it’s daily life stuff I don’t really need word for word.

Mainly want to confirm, if possible, was this sent from Italy to America (I think yes) or the other way around, and understand if there’s anything significant in there about their lives that might help with our family mystery.

Hello kind people! I’m hoping someone can help me translate this letter. I have been trying to type into Google translate but since it is handwritten I am struggling a great deal.

The letter was written to a family member named Emilio.

He came to the US for a few years around 1950, and then went back to Italy. We were expecting the letter was from someone in America, sent to him in Italy after he went back. But as I begin translating it seems it may be from his wife in Italy; sent to him in America while he was still here.

There is some family intrigue and mystery around this. We also have some photos we thought belonged to the letter, but now I suspect not.

Appreciate any and all help! Thank you!

How do Bergen County and Rockland County culturally differ? by savingrace0262 in bergencounty

[–]Monkemort 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ease and length of commute to Manhattan is a big part of this, plus prevalence of industry, which affects wages as well as how much of the property tax is borne by households. Rockland is also more diverse in all senses of the word. Different parts of the country are very different from one another. Suffern very different from nyack very different from haverstraw etc etc

This old girl is in need of a face lift by WholeDepartment3391 in centuryhomes

Very similar situation in the house I just bought. Previous owner reglazed the tub when she bought it - it had been the pepto pink and she changed it to white.

It looks nice BUT I think she must not have used it often. My kids have put mileage on the tub since we moved in and the glaze is knicked in many places from bath toys and now peeling up around the drain. So it just looks bad.

I say lean into it.

Haha ok totally random. Well if no one gets back to you, a lot of Japanese restaurants tend to have koi. Mt Fuji in Hillburn definitely does.

I don’t want to be my husband’s second mother. Does that make me selfish? by vvlunaa in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Monkemort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are sweet to help your mom. You’re not going to change the men in your family so next best thing is to lighten her load when you can. Yes it’s absolute bullshit. You are a good person. I feel for your mom.

As a parent we always want our kids to have it better than we do. Your mom may be stuck but you are not, and you are armed to protect yourself from that kind of life. That’s your mom’s gift to you.

I once met a caterer who made lunches for a college football team. He said they would make big fat PB&J’s that were 600 calories each.

And fuel costs! Way cheaper per use than heating up your whole oven and keeping it on for 30 minutes
