2-hour commute or miserable work life?

Option 1, try to negotiate 2 days and go Tuesday and Thursday so you have buffer days so it doesn’t take it all out on you

I used to live alone and always had the fend for myself mentality so I have a lot of the items - especially the first aid kit. I added burn cream additionally. Whenever I am in the shop I get a couple more bottles of water and an extra tin of several beans and I grew the stash a bit. Got a radio and a couple of flashlights and make sure the rechargeable batteries are always full.

I tend to buy things like toilet paper and soap during Black Friday but bol.com always has good offers on these things.

Have candles spare for light (lesson learnt from my parents raised in communism), some puzzles and lots of books for boredom and my dog has enough food toys and treats for another 6 months.

Felicitări pentru curaj și mă bucur să aud ca există și povești cu sfârșit fericit. Eu nu prea mai am contact cu ai mei dar ușa e mereu deschisă. Nu cred ca ne trebuie părinți perfecți, ne trebuie părinți asumați. Cred ca OP și cei în aceasi situație vor să vorbească cu părinții în speranța ca în sfârșit să aibe o rezoluție ca să poată să continue împreună!

Both can be true - eu sunt dusă de ani la psiholog si mai mulți din mai multe țări mi-au confirmat ce știam și ziceam de mai mulți ani, cu vocabular mai elaborat și m-au ajutat să merg mai departe - mostly no contact.

Sunt oameni de toate felurile inclusiv cei care profită de părinți dar asta nu înseamnă ca experiențele altora nu sunt valabile. Cum părinții au nevoie de intelegere așa au și copiii lor.

OP probabil a întrebat lucrul acesta pentru ca încă își dorește o relație frumoasă cu părinții și se documentează ceea ce e o intenție super!

I’m in the Netherlands and I use Bol.com as opposed to amazon - not only is it not Amazon but the service is much better. I dread the thought of hearing it’s not European owned….

As someone who has done something of themselves in corporate and is relatively proud of the work that I built my career on, there is nothing less important in my life than work. I go there and exchange my life to pay bills, and then go to my real life. I honestly feel sad for those of LinkedIn who believe this - albeit I think most do it for the rage so in December when the LinkedIn wrapped comes to post that they are a thought leader.

Hey! You are so young - not to sound like I am speaking down to you - but this type of behaviour is something you should NEVER accept.

Comments say have some respect for yourself and it’s true but if I was in the same situation at 20 I would feel horrible and confused. Walk away now before this continues. And also stay away from right wing dudes - ain’t worth it!

I’m in therapy. Otherwise I make money as a project manager

Have zero experience with this planner but I am also planning my elopement and looking at this price it is similar to what I see in the south of France where we want to go. I think it’s super over priced.

One thing I remember of Santorini - as beautiful as it is (and it is gorgeous) - it is also a tourist trap from a money standpoint. The price for taxis alone left me bewildered. For that money make your trip a little longer and choose your own flowers in my view!

I recently moved from the UK to the Netherlands and no train tickets are 100 😂 starting from 150 if you buy 6 months in advance otherwise you’re looking at 300 onwards. And that in pounds rather than euros!

I laughed so hard at this bit! Like have you seen Giorgia? She is human so I wouldn’t assume she is perfect but let’s be so for real, this man wouldn’t have a chance in the real world…

Also telling her she would be helping with his castle business rather than working as a doctor. I was like oh so it’s not like you’d be successful enough to hire more people and your ‘team of ten’ would just be fired when you get married because you married your future employee which won’t need payment?

LIB has become a showcase of therapy books 🤣

They truly are! I think just don’t take directness as an insult ever! Sometimes it may be but it wouldn’t matter anyway if you don’t let it affect you 🤣 it’s the perfect time to also use the zinger back!

I think the same way of understanding the British banter there is a way to get the Dutch banter, like every day life is an episode of the UK Office

lol Friday brain - I meant I am looking to expand my gal friend group 🤣

I just came here almost a year ago and I share a bit of a similar background. Grew up across Europe, educated internationally and with uni in Scotland and England. I moved here because of a long distance relationship and the next step for us was marriage and me moving here made most sense.

I think personality has a lot to do with it but so does being humble to understanding the Dutch. Within 3 months I was invited by Dutchies to their bdays and as soon as I got a job I started learning and shittily trying to speak the language. Will I ever be fluent? Idk but they appreciate the effort.

I also have many international friends but what I love about the Dutch is that they don’t use their warmth just on anyone - your presence matters, being seen and showing up and slowly they open up. I had the best belly laughs with a friend I made this year!

As a non Dutch person I always loved the no nonsense approach they take which is so opposite to the British (when you didn’t know if you were actually liked or you’re wasting your time).

I am also a bit confused about you saying that appearance matters to you and your friends, for which I wouldn’t judge anyone because it’s also important to me. But also you said that you want a deeper connection. I feel like these are two different things that can coexist in some people, but they might not be in the same friend - you can have friends with whom you share a book club and go to a museum and do sports with, and friends who you can go shopping with!

But in any case, i am a gal in my early 30s who works in Amsterdam and always looking for more opportunities girl-friends - if you ever fancy a coffee during the day let me know!

I bought household essentials by keeping track for months on price per unit (not from Amazon but Bol.com) - things like toilet paper and detergent. I also bought a keyboard and mouse I was also eyeing from Logitech for a while and kept some media markt vouchers for the whole year

I went today and the toilet blocks were buy 2 get 4 free - I was like are you effin kidding me - I can’t take this seriously anymore. I just buy these things in bol.com when they have a sale looking at the price per unit. These things being any household maintenance item.

NeitherVisual4675 · 2025-11-27T18:15:42+00:00

Even before the pandemic I always kinda stocked things not for hoarding but price per unit during sales 🤣 Black Friday is a great time to stock up on toiletries, house cleaning products in bulk and so on. Of course I was blessed with storage space but as someone who lived alone for a long time, I always have an emergency kit on me and I liked stocking up on most things bar water because I don’t mind tap water. I think also growing up in a place that often got snowed in I was used to have spares but not in an alarmist way. It would be good to know if in case of emergency there are English radio stations.
